-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Same as ANSC 533 and MCB 533. See ANSC 533.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Provides veterinary professional students and graduate students with an introduction to the use of medical reasoning and technology in the investigation of problems related to conservation biology and ecosystem health. The course is an interactive, video conference assisted seminar series, jointly hosted by the University Of Illinois College Of Veterinary Medicine, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, and the Chicago Zoological Society/Brookfield Zoo. Together, these institutions comprise the "Conservation Medicine Center of Chicago." Topics include the evolutionary origins of HIV/AIDS, the ecology of vector- borne diseases, global amphibian population declines, wildlife epidemiology and pathology, and the role of zoos in disease surveillance and management. Approved for S/U grading only. Credit is not given for both VB 540 and PATH 640.
-
4.00 Credits
Gives participants the background information and hands-on experience in the methodologies necessary to utilize cloned genes for the detection and quantitation of specific mRNA transcripts in RNA extracted from tissue or cell culture samples. Methodologies covered will include: recombinant plasmid propagation, cDNA probe isolation and isotopic labeling, RNA isolation, Poly A+ mRNA selection, gel separation and transfer of RNA to a membrane (Northern blot), hybridization of specific gene probes to membrane bound RNA (Northern hybridization), detection and quantitation of hybridization signal. These basic methodologies are widely applicable to different experimental systems. They allow an investigator to monitor the effects of physiological manipulations, to animals or cultured cells, at the molecular level. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Sources, environmental fate, and adverse effects of manmade and naturally-occurring chemicals on terrestrial and aquatic wildlife and ecological systems. Addresses wildlife health, including direct toxic effects and indirect effects via toxicity to other species. Focuses mainly on northern hemisphere with multiple examples from North America and Europe. Includes methods to reduce and prevent ecological and wildlife health problems. Includes one or more field trips comparing samples and animals from contaminated, pristine, and remediated sites. Examines laboratory ecotoxicology methods. Prerequisite: At least one semester of biology (IB 150 or equivalent), and biochemistry (MCB 354 or equivalent).
-
1.00 Credits
Ethical issues in the practice of toxicological research collaboration, authorship and plagiarism, professional responsibility to subjects (both human and animal), whistle-blowing, codes of ethics, legal obligations. Case Studies.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to principles and methods of detection and quantification of toxicants, drugs, metabolites and decomposition products in biological fluids, tissues, and environment matrices; emphasis on current laboratory methods and procedures (spectroscopy, chromatography, immunoassay, sample preparation, validation, and data interpretation).
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture-discussion of the clinical use in animals of human and veterinary drugs, including current literature review on pharmacodynamic species differences, novel indications, and contrast of therapeutic alternatives. Prerequisite: Graduate Veterinarian or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture-discussion concerning the fate of foreign chemicals in various species of animals; principles of absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion of drugs and toxicants; and pharmacokinetics and factors which modify these processes. Prerequisite: MCB 450 or equivalent and/or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The chemistry, action, and disposition of selected toxic substances at levels associated with environmental contamination; nature and biological consequences of host-toxicant interactions from the perspective of chronic and subclinical effects. Prerequisite: VB 565 or ENVS 431; or consent of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Required of all graduate students whose major is veterinary biosciences.
