Transdermal fentanyl solution has been approved for use in dogs

A

T

17
Q

Name the reversal agent for Fentanyl

A

Naloxone

a pure opiate antagonist

18
Q

To which receptor sites does Naloxone bind?

A

mu, kappa and delta, highest affinity for mu

19
Q

A recent publications suggest that transdermal fentanyl is not recommended for use in NHPs

A

T

Due to unreliable pharmacokinetics in NHPs (neither the patch nor solution were recommended)

20
Q

What is the most common method of collection of genetic material from mice for genotyping

A

tail biopsy

21
Q

t or f

A recent publication recommends the use of ice-cold ethanol prior to tail biopsy in mice 7-15d of age

A

T

22
Q

What is the acceptable displacement volume of CO2 to use for rodent anesthesia

A

10-30% per minute

23
Q

A recent publication demonstrated a lack of significant effects on physiological, behavioral or histological parameters whether the acceptable flow rate of 10-30% or a much higher chamber displacement rate was used

A

questioning whether the AVMA guideline rate or a much higher rate is more humane

24

A

blood vessels occur only near the optic disc

29
Q

Do guinea pigs have a third eyelid to protect the cornea?

A

30
Q

A

Chlamoydophila psittaci and caviar

31
Q

T or F

Tritrichomonas muris is a highly transmissible agent that occurs in the GI tract of mice

A

T

33
Q

What is the primary mechanism of action of isoflurane

A

activation of gamma-aminobutyric acid channels, which increases chloride permeability of neurons

34
Q

genus species of ferret

A

Mustela putorius furo

35
Q

genus species of Sooty mangabeys

Q

T or F

HCT can affect the accuracy of hand-held glucometers in humans

A

T

37
Q

T or F

Handheld glucometers are less accurate in the state of hypoglycemia

A

T

38
Q

Does arterial or venus blood generally have higher glucose levels

A

Arterial

39
Q

A recent article concludes that human or veterinary hand held glucometers are likely more accurate in NHPs?

A

human

HCT, sampling site, physiologic state might also have an effect on glucose accuracy
