A Test for Transplantability of Animal Hearts

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
Current studies in transplantation of canine and human hearts have made it advisable to develop a method for detecting postmortem changes in hearts quickly and accurately. We use reversibility of the thermal responses of the viscoelastic properties of cardiac muscle to determine whether or not an excised heart is in a steady state. The test samples are

Animal Tests for Anxiety

2016
In behavioral neurosciences, animal models enable investigation of brain-behavior relations, with the aim of gaining insight into human behavior and its underlying processes. Beyond doubt, the most significant information derives from the study of humans, but this is not always possible due to ethical, methodological, and/or economical constraints ...

Number of animals for sequential testing

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 1993
US regulatory agencies have used six animals in eye irritation tests. Analyses of eye irritation tests on pesticides (n = 48), consumer products and cosmetics (n = 53), Marzulli and Ruggles database (n = 139), and cleaning products and ingredients (n = 30) have greatly extended previous investigations of the merit of reducing animal sample size in the ...

Animal Tests Justifiable

Science News, 1966
0 ANIMALS have been used and abused by man for all manner of reasons, since the first erect human took a club and cracked the skull of some stray creature for food. They have been eaten, turned into clothing, used as motor vehicles and worked as tools. Most recently, they have substituted for man in the laboratory.

Anthrozoƶs, 2011
Many tools assess the reactions of humans encountering familiar or unfamiliar partners or environments. Companion animals belong to our everyday environment and influence our lives. Whereas many standardized tools test companion animals' reactions to humans, few evaluate humans' reactions to companion animals.

Beyond Animal Testing Index: Benchmarking tool for a world beyond animal testing [PDF]

open access: possibleALTEX
While the original definition of replacement focuses on the replacement of the use of animals in science, a more contemporary definition focuses on accelerating the development and use of predictive and robust models, based on the latest science and technologies, to address scientific questions without the use of animals.

Are Animal Tests Inherently Valid?

Alternatives to Laboratory Animals, 2004
The proposition that animal tests are inherently valid, merely because they are animal tests, is discussed and is rejected. It is concluded that there is no justifiable reason for subjecting new or substantially modified animal test procedures or testing strategies to a validation process that is any less stringent than that applied to non-animal ...
