Bennett et al. Multidimensional Cost-Benefit Analysis to Guide Evidence-Based Environmental Enrichment.1. How can bedding promote species specific behavior in NHPs?

A

Bedding helps promote foraging and provides a natural substrate for animals than bare pens provide. Also, reduces aggression, over grooming, and other abnormal behaviors.

Q

Reynolds et al. Noise in a Laboratory Animal Facility .How is it that the noise of a jack hammer, which produces noise of a high decibel level, can be heard by humans but not mice?

A

Jackhammers prodcue noise of a high decible level but a low frequency; this frequency is low enough and out of the range where a mouse cannot accurately hear it.

20
Q

What is the hearing range of a mouse in frequency?

A

Ultrasonic, 1-100KHz

21
Q

What are the OSHA limits for decibel exposure for an employee without hearing protection averaged over an 8 hour work day?

A

90 Db

22
Q

What is the limit of decibel exposure over an 8 hour work day that then requires annual testing/training

A

85 dB

23
Q

Kanthaswamy et al. Population Genetic Statistics from Rhesus Macaques .List ways in which animal populations lose genetic diversity

A

Founder effect, intergenerational drift, nonrandom mating, genetic bottlenecks

24
Q

T/F – Macaques of full-Chinese, full-Indian, or hybrid origin may be used interchangeably in all research studies.

A

False.Macaques of full-Chinese and full-Indian origins can exhibit profound phenotypic differences in physiologic and behavioral traits that are controlled by genetic mechanisms. Inclusion of macaques from different geographic regions or their hybrids in experimental research may confound interpretation of phenotypic differences due to inflation of the genetic contribution to phenotypic variances.

25
Q

Adamson et al. Assessment of Carprofen and Buprenorphine on Recovery of Mice .What were the factors used to assess the pain score in the mice, and what postural movement indicative of pain was noted in all post surgical groups?

A

Hair coat, eyes, coordination and posture and overall condition were assessed in the scoring system. The abdominal stretch, and stretch and walk, were commonly noted in all post surgical groups.

26
Q

What treatment appeared to have the most negative effect on post operative recovery?

a. Saline
b. Buprenorphine
c. Carprofen
d. Combination of buprenorphine and carprofen

A

B. Buprenorphine

27
Q

What important conclusions were made by the researchers regarding pain management in laboratory animals?

A

Analgesic choice and the level of pain must be considered to help eliminate negative consequences on post operative recovery. Visual assessments of pain should be used carefully as some analgesics may have side effects that elevate the score. There is a need for further exploration of pain management dosing regimens and drugs in laboratory species.

28
Q

Bourque et al. Comparison of Buprenorphine and Meloxicam for Postsurgical Analgesia in Rats.Which of the following is not an adverse effect reported with use of buprenorphine in rodents?

a. Rebound hyperalgesia
b. Variability in potency between sexes
c. Variability in potency between strains
d. Anorexia and/or pica
e. Renal toxicity

A

e. Renal toxicity

29
Q

Which of the following statements is not supported in this study comparing post-operative use of buprenorphine and meloxicam in rats?

a. Meloxicam causes less reduction in body weight than buprenorphine
b. Meloxicam causes less reduction in food consumption than buprenorphine
c. Meloxicam causes less reduction in locomotor activity than buprenorphine
d. Meloxicam has less stimulatory effect on daytime heart rate measurements than buprenorphine
e. Meloxicam has less stimulatory effect on nighttime mean arterial pressure than buprenorphine

A

d. Melsoxicam has less stimulatory effect on daytime heart rate measurements than buprenorphine.
