Should Human Products be Tested on Animals? “The question is not, can they reason? nor, can they talk? but, can they suffer?”(qtd. in Should). Millions of animals endure human product testing. Even though they are not as advanced as humans they can still feel and suffer. Common human products are tested on them in different test dealing with toxicity. These tests are unnecessary, costly, and don’t predict reliable results but the truth is ignored. Animals are very different than humans and the…

Animal Testing “Animal testing is, procedures performed on living animals for the purpose of research into biology and diseases determining the liability of new medical products, and testing the human health and/or the safety of the product for the buyer and store products including, cosmetics, household cleaners, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals.

In addition, this paper also outlines two nursing strategies essential for stress reduction in patients and their families. Key Factors contributing to Stress Pediatric burn trauma often exposes families’ to the acute care setting for the first time (Clukey, Curtis, Hayes & Merrill,…

because the acute study showed sublethal effects could be seen between 1 and 100 mg/L. The highest concentration, 100 mg/L, was chosen because the negative effects of gibberellic acid were anticipated at this concentration. The glass jars were filled in the same manner as the jars in the acute experiment. As an example, a 100 mg/L replicate would contain 2 mL of the buffered gibberellic acid 5000 mg/L stock solution and 98 mL of moderately hard water. In a similar manner as the acute experiment,…

When she first arrived at her new loving home, the malnourished beagle crawled on her belly yearning for affection, but too scared to stand up. She was suffering from many different health concerns, such as the infestation of hookworms, tapeworms, and multiple internal and external infections (Sherrow). Plus the well-conditioned psychological damage, keeping her in constant fear of humans. Once identified only by a number, she now has a home and a name. Libby, was one of the 250 dogs and cats…

Nearly all of the estimated 2000 new chemicals and thousands of chemical products introduced each year must undergo acute safety tests to determine whether the substance is toxic or lethal and whether it causes allergic skin reactions or damage to eyes or skin. Much of this acute testing is still conducted using mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, with many animals experiencing death, acute illness, pain, and distress from toxic effects. Many substances also require chronic toxicity and…

There are numerous treatments available for those diagnosed with atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Most widely known is the daily aspirin; it is recommended that all patients with documented CAD be treated with a daily aspirin (Boudi, 2015). Treatment of angina and prevention of acute cardiac symptoms includes various medications such as: nitrates, beta-blockers, statins, calcium channel blockers, and ranolazine, which inhibits the sodium current of the cardiac action potential…

grouped into 2 categories: primary and secondary changes (William Brady MD 2014). “Primary T-wave inversions are associated with benign syndromes, such as the persistent juvenile T-wave pattern and the digitalis effect”. “Secondary T-wave changes result from aberrant ventricular activation in the context of bundle-branch blocks (e.g., Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome)”. Not exceeding 5 mm in the arms or legs or 10 mm in the precordial leads (pg139). T-waves measures less than or equal to 0.12…

In the kitchen. In the bathroom. Possibly in a loved one’s bedroom. Products that have been tested on animals can be seen everywhere. These products can range anywhere from cosmetics to drugs to cleaning supplies. Companies involved with animal testing include Johnson & Johnson, Iams Pet Food, Kimberly-Clark with Kleenex, Mars Candy, and Trojan Condoms (8 Products). With individuals becoming more aware of the issue, the conditions in which these animals are kept and the treatment these animals…

thinning of the peripheral arteries of the stomach, head, arms and legs. Not to mention, PAD is comparable to Coronary artery disease (CAD) and symptoms include pain or cramping in the lower extremities, tiredness in the legs or muscles of the hip and thinning of skin on the legs (Pescatello, 2014). This disease refers to a number of disorders in which the flow of blood through the non-coronary arterial beds are impaired. This type of condition commonly affects the tibial, renal, femoral, iliac…
