Veterinary Hygiene Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that learns from the animal body about the mechanisms of diseases of the heart and nervous system.
AboutAbout the lab
Guided by the motto "Learning from the living body"
The Veterinary Hygiene Lab studies disease control, environmental hygiene, and hygiene in animal husbandry.
In particular, it investigates the mechanisms by which diseases arise and progress in the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels, and in the nervous system.
The lab also works on developing technologies to measure and analyze physiological parameters such as electrocardiograms and blood pressure.
Key terms
- Physiological parameters
- Measures used to express the condition of the body numerically, such as an electrocardiogram or blood pressure
- Autonomic nerves
- Nerves that regulate bodily functions that work without conscious effort, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing
- Nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS)
- A cluster of neurons in the medulla oblongata of the brain. It receives sensory information from organs such as the heart and lungs
- Neuroplasticity
- The property by which neural connections and the way neurons function change in response to experience or changes in the environment

ResearchResearch themes
Guided by the motto "Learning from the living body," the lab conducts research on disease control, environmental hygiene, and hygiene in animal husbandry. It works to elucidate the mechanisms by which diseases arise and progress in the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and to develop technologies for measuring and analyzing physiological parameters.
*Illustrative imageTechnologies for Assessing Respiratory Status in Animals
The lab develops technologies to assess the condition of respiratory diseases in a variety of animal species, and works on applying them.
*Illustrative imageAutonomic Nervous System Dysregulation and Disease
The lab investigates how abnormalities in the function of the autonomic nervous system affect the course of various diseases.
*Illustrative imageHypertension and Changes in Neurons in the Brain
The lab studies how neuroplasticity in neurons of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in the brain is involved in the process by which hypertension develops.
*Illustrative imageStress During Pregnancy and the Cardiovascular System of Offspring
The lab investigates how stress experienced by mothers during pregnancy affects cardiovascular function in their offspring.
