Implanted telemetry is established as the gold standard for preclinical Drug Development, Safety Pharmacology and Toxicology studies. Let’s understand how it evolved in the last decade and what are the current challenges faced by scientists.
For ground squirrels, anorexia is not a pathological condition but an adaptive strategy for survival during hibernation. Recent research by Sarah M. Mohr et al highlights the unique hibernation patterns of thirteen-lined ground squirrels, which could provide valuable insights into anorexia in humans.
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) remains a critical concern in epilepsy management, with the underlying mechanisms still not fully understood.
The University of Guelph researchers studied how a diet high in soluble fibers affected sled dogs’ physiological parameters.
To track respiratory rate and body temperature while the dogs were running, they used the emkaPACK jacketed telemetry system.
Despites international treaties, the usage of chemical weapons is still a concern nowadays. This article highlights a study using Dual-chamber plethysmography for the determination of the NOAEL dose of an oxime, for the treatment of organophosphorus-nerve agents poisoning.
Learn about Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and the development of large animal models for studying and testing therapies for this complex condition.
Because of the multifactorial nature of cardiovascular diseases, there is not a single specie which is optimal for all studies. The choice of an animal model should be carefully made as it can affect the experimental outcomes and the reasonable translation of study findings to humans.
To develop safe and effective cancer therapies, it is crucial to understand chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and cancer‐related cardiac complications. This blog highlights recent discoveries in this field.
After myocardial infarction, the heart fails to regenerate and ischemic/reperfusion injury leads to cardiomyocyte loss and fibrosis leading to impaired heart function. The medical treatment for heart failure, for the most part, is not disease modifying, it’s simply symptomatic. Another strategy is to address the fundamental issue of a failing heart, which is the loss of cardiomyocytes after a heart attack.
During the 2023 Safety Pharmacology Society (SPS) Conference in Brussels, scientists from leading preclinical contract organizations (CROs) discussed how traditional IND-enabling studies involving primates and dogs can be complemented (and sometimes even replaced) by alternative models such as mice, rats, rabbits and pigs.
The use of “super-intervals” improves statistical sensitivity to detect QTc interval prolongation and thus allows to get more robust QTc datasets with reduced signal variability.
Combining implantable telemetry with whole body plethysmography offers a powerful approach that provides researchers with an in-depth understanding of respiratory patterns and mechanisms.
In the intricate web of neural circuits that guide our every move, a recent study has shed light on a fascinating phenomenon: the arrest of ongoing movements.
In recent years, electronic cigarettes have become rapidly popular worldwide, despite growing evidence that they adversely impact cardiopulmonary health.
Further scientific evidence is needed to clarify the risks of e-cigarettes and guide the use and regulation of these nicotine aerosol delivery devices.
All research model systems have unique strengths and challenges regarding the generalizability of data to other systems. Pre-clinical researchers attempt to describe and interact with human clinical phenotypes using animal models.
Implanted telemetry is established as the gold standard for preclinical Drug Development, Safety Pharmacology and Toxicology studies. Let’s understand how it evolved in the last decade and what are the current challenges faced by scientists.
Wireless telemetry has been used for several years on cows, sheep, pigs or horses. Discover some concreate applications.
The Estoril 20th ERS Lung Science Conference (LSC) brought forward the importance of mucosal immunology through amazing presentations and posters and emka TECHNOLOGIES was happy to participate in this event.
Among muscular dystrophies, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common and most severe form. Learn more about the current status of the research.
Preclinical research on neurodegenerative diseases must overcome multiple challenges including studying physiological consequences reaching far beyond the CNS.
The evaluation of the gastrointestinal (GI) motility is useful to detect pathological conditions of the GI system, the therapeutic potential of drugs in motility disorders or potential drug side effects on motility or inflammation.
As an industry partner with deep expertise in IND-enabling studies, emka TECHNOLOGIES helps nonclinical scientists comply with SEND requirements by generating SEND 3.1 compatible tables directly from emka TECHNOLOGIES software.
