Swine in the laboratory surgery, anesthesia, imaging, and experimental techniques, 3rd edition

======================================================= SWINE IN THE LABORATORY SURGERY, ANESTHESIA, IMAGING, AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES, 3RD EDITION Professional Veterinary E-Book ======================================================= BOOK INFORMATION ---------------- Title: Swine in the laboratory surgery, anesthesia, imaging, and experimental techniques, 3rd edition Format: PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Laboratory Animal Medicine, Veterinary Research Specialty: Experimental Surgery, Laboratory Animal Science, Comparative Medicine DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive third edition serves as the definitive reference guide for veterinarians, researchers, and laboratory animal professionals working with swine in biomedical research settings. As pigs continue to gain prominence as translational models for human disease due to their anatomical and physiological similarities to humans, this extensively updated resource provides essential protocols and techniques for ensuring optimal animal welfare while maintaining scientific rigor. The text bridges the gap between veterinary clinical practice and laboratory research, offering evidence-based approaches to surgical procedures, anesthetic management, and advanced imaging modalities specifically adapted for porcine models. Written by leading experts in laboratory animal medicine and comparative surgery, this edition incorporates the latest advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques, multimodal anesthesia protocols, and cutting-edge imaging technologies applicable to swine research. The book addresses the unique challenges of working with pigs in research environments, from preoperative preparation and intraoperative monitoring to postoperative care and pain management. Each chapter provides practical, step-by-step guidance supported by detailed illustrations, making complex procedures accessible to both novice and experienced practitioners. This essential resource emphasizes ethical considerations, regulatory compliance, and refinement of experimental techniques in accordance with the 3Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement). Whether conducting cardiovascular research, transplantation studies, orthopedic investigations, or pharmaceutical testing, readers will find invaluable information on species-specific anatomy, physiological parameters, and technical modifications necessary for successful outcomes in porcine research models.
