چکیده

Proceedings of the International CO'1ference, 22-25 November 1998, Zeist, The Netherlands. Coenraad F. M. Hendrikson and David B. Morton (eds.). London: The Royal Society of Medicine Press limited, /SBN /-85315-429-6. Zu beziehen bei den Herausgebern. Nachdem wir mit unserem heutigen Wissensstand noch lange nicht in der Lage sind, aile Tierversuche zu ersetzen, ist es fur das Wohl der Tiere unabdingbar, sich auch den anderen beiden Rs aus dem Russel&Burch Konzept von 1959 zu widmen. Vor allem die gewahlten Endpunkte bei den SicherheitsprUfungen (akute Toxizitat und Impfstoffprufung) sowie bci Infektionsund Tumormodellen verdienen dabei besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Den Tod nicht mehr als Endpunkt cines Versuches zu verwenden, sondern nach anderen physiologischen und klinischen Pararnetern zu suchen, die einen fruheren Versuchsabbruch erlauben, war das Thema einer von gut 100 Delegierten aus Industrie, Behorden, Tierschutzorganisationen und Universitaten besuchten Tagung in NL-Zeist, deren Vortrage und Ergebnisse im vorliegenden Band herausgegeben werden (siehe auch Tagungsbericht in ALTEX 1/99, S. 58). Die Tagung wurde vom ECVAM, der OECD, der Doerenkamp-Zbinden-Stiftung und dem hollandischen RIVM gesponsort, die Publikation der Vortrage von der englischen Zeitschrift Laboratory Animals (www.lal.org.uk). An das von Coenraad F. M. Hendriksen, Bjorn Steen, Klaus Cussler und David B. Morton verfasste Vorwort schliessen sich 27 Einzelbeitrage namhafter Autorinnen und Autoren an. Es sind auch die zusammenfassenden Ergebnisse von drei parallel abgehaltenen Workshops wiedergegeben: "Humane endpoints in toxicity testing and cancer research", .Humane endpoints in infection models and vaccine quality control" und "Humane endpoints, test regulations, animal welfare regulations and training".

Studying humane endpoints in a rat model of mammary carcinogenesis

Objective(s): The present work intended to clearly define the most adequate humane endpoints in an experimental assay of mammary carcinogenesis in rats. Materials and Methods: Animals were observed twice a day; all parameters were registered once a week and the euthanasia endpoints were established in order to monitor the animal welfare/...

Endpoint matrix: a conceptual tool to promote consideration of the multiple dimensions of humane endpoints.

This paper proposes a framework to support appropriate application of endpoints in animal experiments. It is recommended that unpredicted endpoints should be explicitly considered alongside scientific endpoints and justifiable endpoints as the three types of endpoint which comprise the "humane." We suggest there is a need for clear identification of each type of endpoint and an understanding of...

An opportunity to refocus on the 'humane' in experimental endpoints: moving beyond Directive 2010/63/EU.

Humane endpoints are a core refinement concept in animal experimentation. This paper identifies an urgent requirement for individuals and institutions to refocus on humane endpoints as part of the transposition of Directive 2010/63/EU into the national laws of the Member States, and to go beyond their legal construction when setting new guidance or applying humane endpoints in practice. It will...

How “Humane” Is Your Endpoint?—Refining the Science-Driven Approach for Termination of Animal Studies of Chronic Infection

Public concern on issues such as animal welfare or the scientific validity and clinical value of animal research is growing, resulting in increasing regulatory demands for animal research. Abiding to the most stringent animal welfare standards, while having scientific objectives as the main priority, is often challenging. To do so, endpoints of studies involving severe, progressive diseases nee...

The Assessment of Pain Using Facial Expressions in Laboratory Rodents

Pain in animals is of considerable public concern, particularly where animals are used in biomedical research. Pain can compromise not only animal welfare, but also the validity of scientific results. In order to alleviate pain, we need to be able to assess its severity and duration effectively [1]. If we cannot do this then we are unable to provide adequate pain management or to develop more e...
