people know. Dogs participating in Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) are encouraged to assist patients in some way needed and usually have a consistent, benevolent nature (“Pet Therapy”). All dogs are extremely intelligent animals. For example, when humans become upset, a certain smell is produced (Tagliaferro). When the smell is released, some therapy dogs are able to sniff it out and will usually aid the person (Tagliaferro). A common misconception is that therapy dogs are the same as service dogs.
Animals assisted therapy (AAT)- a type of therapy that involves animals as a form of treatment. The goal, like all other forms of therapy, is to improve each patient's social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. Research conducted by the IAN community shows that 83% of all patients that have used Animal assisted therapy improved from their original state. A wide variety of animals can be used to achieve the common goal. A few common animals are dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, and dolphins. Animals
economy affecting both human and animals. It has great public health significance because it can be transmitted both directly and indirectly to human with consequence illness causing incapacitation and loss of man power but also because of serious diminution of much essential and important food stuff. (WHO.,1971). In India, brucellosis is recorded in almost all states but the scenario differs between states and is present in different species of mammalian farm animals including cattle, goats, buffalo
experimental animals. The pharmacokinetics of a new anti-tumor agent i.e. ethyl o- [N-(p- carboxy phenyl)- carbamoyl] Mycophenolate (CAM) was studied in mice by using 14 c-labeled CAM and also metabolic differences were studied in species like rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs & dogs. The absorption of CAM was rapid from the gastrointestinal tract of the animals, mice compared to other animals. Due to
Most people believe that animals are not intelligent or compassionate. If that was the case, then why would we have pets? Animals are very loving and intelligent and to prove it, many people have done experiments with animals. Zoologists have spent a lot of time around their animal subjects to see what their normal lives are like. They have come across many new discoveries by doing this and continue to find new things quite often. Numerous people might argue that animals are not clever or understanding
Home assignment – The perspectives In this case study there is a women who is called Anna who is almost 40 years old and has had a tough childhood.

INTRODUCTION: Congo virus is a lethal disease with fatality rate of (10-40) %. Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic fever is caused by a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) of the Bunyaviridae family. Animals get infected by the bite of infected ticks. The virus is transmitted to people by bites of tick bugs or through contact with infected animals blood during or immediately after slaughter. Most of the infected people are involved in livestock industry like slaughter house workers and veterinarians. Human to human transmission

used for the study of the physiology and basic biochemistry of cells such as aging and cellular metabolism, for the study of effects of new drugs on cells, and to study mutagenesis as well as carcinogenesis. Animal cell culture technique can be used to study the differences between normal and cancer cells, to replace damaged tissue or organs, and to introduce new DNA or RNA into the cell in order to study the expression of the new gene. This technique can also be used in gene therapy that can help
person’s ability to adjust to a particular situation. The individual falls into these behaviours in an attempt to escape discomforts in life. Instead of helping the situation these maladaptive behaviours make things worse. In the case of behaviours such as addiction it is a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Maladaptive coping strategies will often ease the symptoms but they lead to deterioration in the overall problem’. Behavioural theorists define maladaptive behaviours, such as addiction
