Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

5.7K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

2.2K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Sputum Studies I: Gram Stain, cytology, and Acid-fast smear and culture

490
Sputum studies are a critical part of diagnosing and treating numerous respiratory conditions. These studies involve obtaining sputum samples for analysis to identify pathogenic organisms and assess the presence of abnormal cells indicative of malignant conditions. This lesson will delve into three fundamental sputum studies: Gram Stain, Cytology, and Acid-fast Smear and Culture.
Gram Stain
The Gram Stain is an integral part of sputum studies. It involves the staining of sputum, which permits...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Neonatal Physiology
  • Clinical Pathology

Background:

  • Neonatal foals undergo significant physiological and dietary changes.
  • Diagnostic laboratories often lack foal-specific reference intervals for clinical pathology.
  • Misinterpretation of neonatal clinical pathology values can occur due to reliance on adult horse data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the distinct features of common clinicopathologic tests in foals.
  • To highlight differences between neonatal foal and adult horse clinical pathology values.
  • To aid in the accurate interpretation of diagnostic test results in foals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on equine neonatal clinical pathology.
  • Comparison of clinicopathologic values in healthy foals versus healthy adult horses.
  • Synthesis of data to identify key differences in test results.

Main Results:

  • Physiologic and dietary variations in foals lead to unique clinicopathologic profiles.
  • Commonly tested parameters show significant deviations in foals compared to adults.
  • Reference intervals for adult horses are often inappropriate for neonatal foals.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate interpretation of neonatal foal clinicopathologic data requires foal-specific reference values.
  • Understanding foal-specific differences is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment.
  • Further research and laboratory updates are needed to provide comprehensive foal reference intervals.
