Animal surgery and modeling room
Head of the operating room: Dr. Mohammad Faraj Lee Abbasi
Animal-based research has significantly contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge in general and medical advances in particular. Animal studies have provided basic information about animal biology and physiology; This information, in turn, is of great importance to human biology. Animal models of human disorders have added valuable information on many aspects of the pathophysiology, treatment and diagnosis of human diseases. In addition, experimental results from animal studies have served as the basis for many key clinical trials leading to future therapeutic interventions. The use of animals in biomedical research, and in particular the use of non-human primates in such studies, dates back to the early 19th century and evolved over the next centuries as scientific and research methods, and has continued almost continuously. It has been used in all aspects of biomedical advances, especially in research in the fields of neuroscience, neuroscience, neuroengineering, and artificial intelligence.
The existence of many research centers in the University of Medical Sciences, such as the Neuroscience Research Center, which ranks second among neuroscience research centers in the country, has created the potential to share the knowledge and experience of Ibn Markaz faculty members and partner centers. It is there that it can expand the infrastructure and naturally include the development of biomedical studies. The Center's international cooperation with countries such as Japan and Australia has paved the way for a new path, especially for research on inhumane primates, which is a major step towards achieving the research goals of the Neuroscience Research Center and its subsidiary Neuroscience Research Center. Cognitive.
Equipment available in the operating room:
1- Dräger anesthesia machine "Sulla 808 V" equipped with Isoflurane ventilator and flowmeter (0.5 to 15 L/M)
2- PEC monitoring device equipped with SPO2, ECG, NIBP, Temperature, El CO2
3- Mono / Bipolar electrosurgery device for peripheral neurosurgery
4- TOPCON surgical microscope"OMS-300"
5- Steel operating table with the ability to provide the required temperature of the animal's body under anesthesia and surgery
The equipment in the operating room makes it possible to perform all surgical interventions on the central nerves (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nerves in all species of laboratory animals and other animals weighing 100 g to 100 kg and ready to provide specialized services to researchers at the Science Center. Nerves and other external and internal centers of the university in its field of specialization.
