  • U.S. federal laws require that non-human animal research occur to show the safety and efficacy of new treatments before any human research will be allowed to be conducted. (stanford.edu)
  • Not only do we humans benefit from this research and testing, but hundreds of drugs and treatments developed for human use are now routinely used in veterinary clinics as well, helping animals live longer, healthier lives. (stanford.edu)
  • In formulating these guidelines, the working group recognizes that other methods of caring for nonhuman primates and preventing transmission of pathogenic agents from animal to human and from human to animal have been described (6,7). (cdc.gov)
  • The guide is intended to share animal identifications from previous exploration work. (hawaii.edu)
  • These guidelines define the essential competencies needed by laboratory personnel to work safely with biologic materials and other hazards that might be found in a biologic laboratory (e.g., those related to research animals, chemicals, radiologic materials, and the physical environment). (cdc.gov)
  • The primary purpose of these guidelines is to establish the behaviors and knowledge that laboratory workers at all levels should have to work safely with biologic materials. (cdc.gov)

  • They found that the results of single-laboratory studies were very different, while multi-laboratory studies with two, three or four test laboratories, produced much more similar results, thereby increasing reproducibility without a need for larger sample sizes. (unibe.ch)
  • More than half of the single-laboratory studies did not provide an accurate estimate of this effect. (unibe.ch)
  • To simulate multi laboratory studies, two, three, or four studies were randomly selected from the pool of 50 studies, and from each of these studies proportionate numbers of data were collected, so that multi-laboratory and single-laboratory studies used exactly the same sample sizes. (unibe.ch)
  • The percentage of studies that accurately estimated the expected effect of hypothermia increased from below 50% in single-laboratory studies to 73% in two-laboratory studies, to 83% in three-laboratory studies, and to even 87% in four-laboratory studies. (unibe.ch)
  • This increase in the proportion of accurate study results with increasing numbers of laboratories reflects the improved reproducibility of results from multi laboratory studies,' says co-author Dr. Bernhard Völkl, who carried out and analysed the simulations. (unibe.ch)
