The Representative Porcine Model for Human Cardiovascular Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
To improve human health, scientific discoveries must be translated into practical applications. Inherent in the development of these technologies is the role of preclinical testing using animal models. Although significant insight into the molecular and cellular basis has come from small animal models, significant differences exist with regard to cardiovascular characteristics between these models and humans. Therefore, large animal models are essential to develop the discoveries from murine models into clinical therapies and interventions. This paper will provide an overview of the more frequently used large animal models, especially porcine models for preclinical studies.

Experimental Porcine Toxoplasma gondii Infection as a Representative Model for Human Toxoplasmosis
Porcine infections are currently not the state-of-the-art model to study human diseases. Nevertheless, the course of human and porcine toxoplasmosis is much more comparable than that of human and murine toxoplasmosis. For example, severity of infection, transplacental transmission, and interferon-gamma-induced antiparasitic effector mechanisms are similar in pigs and humans. In addition, the se...
متن کاملEstimating the health effects of PM10 on human in Sanandaj City during 2010-2014 using AirQ model
One of the air pollutant indices includes particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 μg/m3 (PM10). Particulate matter has extensive effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Dissemination of such particles for a longer period can lead to increased mortality and hospitalization. In this study, the data of PM10 pollutant wer...
متن کاملModel-based identification and diagnosis of a porcine model of induced endotoxic shock with hemofiltration.
A previously validated cardiovascular system (CVS) model and parameter identification method for cardiac and circulatory disease states are extended and further validated in a porcine model (N=6) of induced endotoxic shock with hemofiltration. Errors for the identified model are within 10% when the model is re-simulated and compared to the clinical data. All identified parameter trends over tim...
