A novel inhaled anesthesia technique for concurrent direct laryngoscopy in rats
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Our novel nose cone anesthetic technique allows the use of gas anesthesia during concurrent direct laryngoscopy. Inhaled anesthesia not only has a better safety profile for rats, but also increases lab efficiency when compared to injectable anesthesia. Abstract The current anesthetic standard for laryngoscopy in rats utilizes injectable intraperitoneal

Characterization of inflammatory pseudotumors in a large animal model of liver cancer
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.CT images in arterial and portal venous phases of liver lesions in Oncopig. Abstract Background The development of relevant and robust large animal models of hepatocellular carcinoma is needed to test new therapeutic strategies for this disease. Transgenic approaches hold promise in addressing this complex problem. One such model, the Oncopig, has been
