Annotated Bibliography and Federal Law Research for Course Project Annotated Bibliography and Federal Law Research for Course Project Animal-Related Laws in the State of California: A Preliminary Overview for Therapy Animal Welfare Advocacy
Part One – Annotated Bibliography
You will be locating sources, reading them, and writing an Annotated Bibliography. Here is an example of a full-credit annotated source. You may use this example annotation and table to organize your citations and summaries. Each of the 5 sources you use in your Annotated Bibliography should resemble the example annotation.
Locate 5 credible unique sources such as scholarly peer-reviewed academic, law or science journals, professional organization website blogs, news articles, etc. related to the issue you identified in Week 2 that you would like to address and create an annotated bibliography. The sources cannot be sources included in the course learning materials, with the following exceptions: optional or suggested materials, teacher recommendations made throughout discussions or readings provided as a starting point–if any–on the Issue Bank page may be used. For this exercise, do NOT include case law. Although your sources must be unique for this assignment, you may use the sources you find and any sources provided in the course learning materials for your course projects.
Creating an annotated bibliography is a good way to organize potential sources for your course project. Writing an annotated bibliography helps you summarize the sources you have found, evaluate the quality of these sources, and determine the importance of each source for your final project. Your bibliography should include the proper APA reference followed by a short paragraph summarizing the main points of the article. You should include a general overview of the article content, the main ideas presented, and why this article is relevant to your project (see below or an example). Make sure you are locating quality sources. Suggestions of databases/websites to search for scientific articles can be found on your course resource page. Part Two – Federal Law Research
To complete this portion of the assignment (the federal and state law portion of this assignment), use this template provided and include the following information:
The name of the statute or regulation
The legal citation
A brief description of the relevant section of the law that applies to your issue. If you are unsure if a federal law applies, note the law and briefly state why you think it may be relevant or why you are unsure. The table lists the only federal statutes that you should consider for your own Course Project issue. Do not add any more federal laws! Looking for other federal statutes that apply will take a very long time and not be productive for you.
Note: A completed table is not necessarily a full table! If the law does not apply, then leave the rest of the row blank or simply write N/A. The second section of the table is for the state you are investigating for your course project. You should only research laws that are relevant to your issue.
Here is an example template of a full-credit annotated legal resource table for the example issue of “Service Dogs in Training” in the chosen state of California. Since this issue focuses on California, the table includes state statutes in that state related to the issue. If one of the states you covered for Week 2 Assignment 1: State Status Exercise is the state for your Course Project issue, you may copy/paste that information into the state portion of your table. Your state will have different laws than the ones listed here (unless you are researching California).
Identify the primary federal laws addressed in your research that might apply to the issue you are investigating. Although you are focusing on the state level, a state statute might reference the federal law, so you would want to include the information. The template table has the federal laws you should consider, recognizing that not every law available or even discussed in the module is included. The goal is simply to help you keep in mind the federal-state relationship for some of the oversight. If the federal law does not apply, simply indicate the general focus of the law and why it is not relevant to your issue. It is understood that a law federal statute may not directly apply to your topic. You are not required to include pending federal legislation. Include any existing (enacted) animal-related laws in your chosen state that you think might apply directly and narrowly relate to your issue and a very brief explanation as to why you think it might be important. For example, all states have anti-animal cruelty laws, but you would not need to include the law unless there is something stated that specifically addresses your issue. Many states have laws making the false representation of an animal as a service animal a crime, but again, unless germane to your issue you would not want to include this information in your table. To help narrow your scope, when you are searching for a law in your chosen state that might relate, include the qualifying term, such as “Therapy animal welfare” rather than simply “animal,” or “Therapy Dog Training” rather than “dog training.” You may miss some laws, but your role as advocate is to provide background information on the issue and explain why an existing law (presuming there is one) may not be adequate. You are providing some preliminary insights to inspire a legislator to further investigate. You are not required to provide nuanced legal arguments, which is why you should not research case laws for this assignment. You will be researching background on the concern, not how the law is applied. Minimally, your table should include the state’s definition for a service animal, even if you already found this information for your assignment#1 in Week 2. Yes–you may cut/paste from your prior assignment if this is the case! -
“Addressing Reviewer Comments and Making Edits on a Research Paper Using Track Changes”
I have a paper that I wrote and it has been reviewed. I have a document that says what all needs to be edited. Please do not touch the methods and materials section.
Attached is the manuscript and the review comments. For each suggested commend correct on your paper using TrackChanges in Word so we can track what you did. Then, underneath each reviewer’s comments add in “corrected” or if they recommend adding in a new citation, put what citation you added in. Make these comments in red font so it is clear that you addressed everything even if it just said corrected. Both reviewers recommend changes in some of the citations, use the ones they recommend and if they don’t give one find a new one. Then, make sure to make edits in your reference list for those changes. DO NOT worry about the comments concerning methods/materials and methods
Make sure to use TRACK CHANGES -
“Isoniazid Toxicity in Dogs: Mechanism, Physiology, and Treatment”
Overview
Certain drugs used primarily in human medicine can be used under certain circumstances in animals. However, there are some that must be used with caution or not at all in an animal due to their toxicity profile. The following project is intended for you to investigate the effects of a specific human drug that is toxic in dogs. Explore the drug mechanism and dog physiology factors that contribute to toxicity, and the treatment approach to toxicosis. This project relates to the material you have learned regarding pharmacology (and toxicology) principals, recognition of drug-related clinical signs, and appropriate approaches to these.
Instructions
You work in a veterinary hospital where a few clients have presented dogs with illnesses after they were given or accidentally ingested isoniazid tablets that belonged to clients taking these tablets for their own tuberculosis infections. In most cases, a dog had clinical signs after ingesting one or more 300 mg isoniazid tablets, one of these cases proved fatal. The hospital is collaborating with other veterinary clinics and hospitals that have reported similar cases of isoniazid overdoses in dogs.
Students are required to write a research paper discussing isoniazid overdose in dogs. The paper must address the five components listed below.
Explain the mechanism of isoniazid’s antimicrobial action and how this relates to toxicity in dogs
Discuss the unique dog biochemistry that promotes isoniazid toxicity in dogs
Identify the organ systems affected by isoniazid toxicity in dogs and describe clinical signs associated with the effects on these organ systems
Describe the primary treatment approach to isoniazid toxicity and the antidote for isoniazid toxicosis.
Explain the mechanism of action of the antidote used when treating isoniazid toxicity
Project Specifications
You must turn in a single word-processing document, 3-6 pages in length, using Times New Roman size 12 font, double spaced with normal 1” margins
The title page should contain the following information:
The Title: Vet 305 Advanced Veterinary Pharmacology
Your Name
Your student ID number
Your email address
The date the project was submitted
The paper must address the five required components.
The paper should be easy to read with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
The paper should include a minimum of four references listed in APA format at the end of the document on a references page. Each reference should have corresponding in-text citations. You can use the course textbook as one reference, but you’ll need at least three other outside references. Sources used should be from medical publications or websites. Do not use sites like Wikipedia.
Summary
Explore the drug mechanism and dog physiology factors that contribute to toxicity, clinical signs of toxicity, and the treatment approach to isoniazid toxicosis. -

“Regulation and Induction of Oocyte Maturation in Vertebrates: The Role of Hormones and Maturation-Inducing Factors”
Introduction
The production and maturation of gametes in vertebrates 1s tightly controlled by several hormones. Oocyte maturation refers to the process in which fully-grown oocytes become fertilizable. In fish, fully-grown oocytes are arrested in meiosis I and resumption of meiosis occurs during final oocyte maturation (Nalahama et al., 1995; Peyton and Thomas, 2011).
During oocyte maturation, the oocyte nucleus (germinal vesicle, GV) migrates from the center to the animal pole and subsequently, the nuclear envelope breaks down. This process is referred to as germinal vesicle break down (GVBD). The GV in immature fish oocytes is difficult to observe because the cytoplasm of the immature oocyte is opaque (Figure 1A). However, during final oocyte maturation, oocytes become translucent (Figure 1B). To determine if GVBD has occurred, follicles can be chemically fixed and observed under a dissection microscope equipped with a transmitted light. The GVBD can also be scored easily by observing if oocytes have become translucent.
It has been shown that three major factors are important in the induction of oocyte maturation including the gonadotropin luteinizing hormone (LH). When conditions are favourable for spawning, a surge in LH secretion by the pituitary, acts on the thecal cells of follicles to stimulate the production of 17a-hydroxyprogesterone (HP). HP is then converted into 17a,20ß -dihydroxyprogesterone, known as maturation-inducing hormone MIH) in the granulosa cells. Subsequently, MIH acts on the oocyte surface to activate maturation promoting factor, which in turn, induces final oocyte maturation Nagahama et al., 1995; Tokumoto et al.,
2011; see Lessman, 2009 for a review). -
