1. Improving reproducibility and external validity. The role of standardization and data reporting of laboratory rat husbandry and housing
Abstract Purpose: To identify the most relevant flaws in standardization in husbandry practices and lack of transparency to report them. This review proposes some measures in order to improve transparency, reproducibility and eventually external validity in experimental surgery experiments with rat model. Methods: We performed a search of scientific articl

2. Laboratory animals and respiratory allergies: The prevalence of allergies among laboratory animal workers and the need for prophylaxis
OBJECTIVE: Subjects exposed to laboratory animals are at a heightened risk of developing respiratory and allergic diseases. These diseases can be prevented by simple measures such as the use of personal protective equipment. We report here the primary findings of the Laboratory Animals and Respiratory Allergies Study regarding the prevalence of allergic dis

3. Estudo de um sistema de análise de preferências climáticas para animais convencionais de laboratório por tecnologia de ventilação microambiental e avaliações biológicas. I. Avaliação da eficiência de um protótipo, para o estudo de parâmetros ambientais, resultados parciais verificados em ratos (Rattus norvegicus) / A climatic chamber employing Intracage Ventilation System to evaluated house condition of laboraroty animals and to biological assays in thermoregulation studies. Partial evaluation in rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Projects concerned with laboratory animals facilities usually adopt narrow range of ventilation and climatization variables to assure the define ambient. Such projects are concerned to the animal room (macro-environmental ambient) and this technology have a limitated operation to reach the micro-environmental (animal cages) ambients. The development of the i

4. Coccidioidomicose no estado de Cearà (1995-2007): caracterÃsticas clÃnico-laboratoriais e anÃlise das fraÃÃes protÃicas do antÃgeno total de Coccidioides posadasii no imunodiagnÃstico / Coccidioidomycosis State of Cearà (1995 - 2007): characteristics clinical laboratory and analysis of protein fractions of antigen total Coccidioides posadasii in the immunodiagnosis
Coccidiodomycosis is a disease caused by dimorphic fungi of the Coccidioides genus â C. immitis and C. posadasii â which afflicts people and various animals, such as cattle, goats, rodents and dogs. It is restricted to the Americas and cases have been reported in the state of Cearà only since 1995. The infection generally results from inhaling the infecti

5. Estudo microbiológico fecal de linhagens de camundongos, de estirpes de E. coli e do meio ambiente em biotérios / Fecal microbiologic study of mice lineages, E. coli strains and the environment in laboratory animal facilities
Mice have been largely used at experiences since 17o century, so their microbiological quality should be investigated and kept safety in order to avoid they become ill or die during an investigation and dont transmit zoonosis to those who handle them; this is important in order to make the results presented in the experience be reliable. The Escherichia coli

6. Acumulação de Poluentes Inorgânicos por Macrófitas Aquáticas nos Reservatórios de Santana e Vigário, Barra do Piraí-RJ / Accumulation of Pollutant Inorganic for Aquatic Macrophytes in Santana and Vigario Reservoir, Barra do Pirai-RJ
Paraíba do Sul River (1,145 km long) crosses three of the most important and developed states of Brazil: Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is the main water supply for more than 11 million people in Rio de Janeiro City, and it is also used extensively as a waste disposal system by industrial facilities in all three states. Moreover it receives

7. Biological Containment Facility for Studying Infectious Disease
To effectively characterize newly recognized viruses (Marburg, Lassa, etc.) and to study other highly virulent infections for which no effective prophylaxis or therapy exists, special containment facilities must be utilized and conventional techniques modified to minimize risk to laboratory personnel. This paper describes a laboratory suite for such studies,

8. Allergy to laboratory animals: an epidemiological study.
A large cross sectional survey was carried out using a self administered questionnaire to examine the prevalence of laboratory animal allergy (LAA) and the factors associated with its development. Out of 5641 workers who were exposed to animals at 137 laboratory animal facilities in Japan, 23.1% had one or more allergic symptoms related to laboratory animals

9. Laboratory Design for Microbiological Safety
Of the large amount of funds spent each year in this country on construction and remodeling of biomedical research facilities, a significant portion is directed to laboratories handling infectious microorganisms. This paper is intended for the scientific administrators, architects, and engineers concerned with the design of new microbiological facilities. It

10. Mycobacterium marinum persists in cultured mammalian cells in a temperature-restricted fashion.
We have explored the relatively rapidly growing animal and human pathogen Mycobacterium marinum as an experimental model for mycobacterial pathogenesis. M. marinum, which has a lower temperature for optimal growth than does Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has a much shorter generation time and can be safely studied in ordinary laboratory facilities and examined

11. Enzyme immunoassays for total and allergen specific IgE in population studies.
OBJECTIVE--Extensive IgE serology in occupational or environmental health studies is often hampered by a lack of technical facilities and finance. The use in population studies of relatively simple and inexpensive enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) was therefore evaluated for the assessment of total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), and of specific IgE reactions with va
