The veterinary surgeon in natural disasters: Italian legislation in force.

Law No. 225/1992 established a National Service of Civil Protection, with the important role of 'safeguarding life, goods, settlements and the environment from damage deriving from natural disasters, catastrophes and calamities' (art. 1). This law arranges civil protection as a co-ordinated system of responsibilities administrated by the state, local and public authorities, the world of science, charitable organisations, the professional orders and other institutions, and the private sector (art. 6). The President of the Republic's Decree No. 66/1981 'Regulation for the application of Law No. 996/1970, containing norms for relief and assistance to populations hit by natural disasters--Civil Protection' mentions veterinary surgeons among the people that are called upon to intervene. In fact, in natural disasters the intervention of the veterinary surgeon is of great importance. The authors examine these laws and other legislation relating to the National Service of Civil Protection.

Present systems and future needs for risk assessment of biologicals in the United States of America: the perspective of the regulator.

The authority for regulating veterinary biologicals in the United States of America (USA) is provided in the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, enacted in 1913 and amended in 1995. The Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to prescribe regulations governing the preparation and marketing of veterinary biologicals shipped into, within or from the USA. The mandate of the United States Veterinary Biologics Program is to ensure that all veterinary biological products under Government jurisdiction in the USA are pure, safe, potent and effective. The Program is based on licensing, inspection and testing. Risk assessment techniques, and effective strategies for risk management and risk communication, are essential tools for regulatory officials charged with the responsibility of developing requirements for licensing veterinary biological products and production facilities. To accommodate scientific advances, heightened consumer awareness and the international harmonization of requirements, regulatory agencies must continually review and update programme requirements. The author discusses programme updates initiated to address future needs of the United States Veterinary Biologics Program.

Laboratory animal medicine. Changes and challenges.

Less than three decades have elapsed since the specialty of laboratory animal medicine was first formally recognized. Tremendous progress and maturation has occurred in this short time frame due in large part to the foresight of early pioneers in the field, attention to the moral and ethical use of animals, and the recognition by the biomedical research community of the indispensable role played by the laboratory animal medicine specialist in forging new knowledge in the biomedical sciences. The ability of laboratory animal medicine specialists to properly balance their efforts in collaborative and independent research, clinical services and teaching, offers exciting challenges and opportunities for veterinarians entering the specialty. Undoubtedly, another challenge to the specialty, currently and in the foreseeable future, is the debate over animal rights which began to ferment in the late 1970's, after lying relatively dorment since the 1950's. A growing number of Americans, including some scientists, contend that animals have inherent rights to a full life, free of intentional pain, even when done in legitimate scientific pursuits; some ardent anti-vivisectionists state that the use of animals in experimental research is immoral. The laboratory animal medicine specialist will have to effectively deal with the administrators of institutions using research animals, the attendant federal and state guidelines and laws regulating their use, and defend the use of laboratory animals to a polarized public, while at the same time ensure the humane care and use of animals under their purview. Certainly, the specialty is squarely placed in a hotly debated dilemma, fraught with ethical, moral, medical, philosophical, religious, and political complexities. I believe the specialty has the vision and maturity, and is indeed ready, to successfully meet that challenge - to assuage public concern, implement new federal policy regarding animal care and use, and maintain the excellent progress in laboratory animal medicine realized in the last 75 years.
