Global Animal and Human Health care Thought
Leaders Gather for Top in SeattleAnimal and
human health care thought leaders collected in
Seattle on Wednesday, December 11, for the first
annual "Translational and Comparative Study Top."
The Summit raised awareness in the medical,
research and investment communities about
species-spanning methods to health care, which
are resulting in development therapies and new
standards of care."One in three people, one in
four canines and one in 5 cats will develop
animal cancer in their lifetime," said summit
speaker John Payne, chairman of the American
Humane Association. "Animals and humans share
many of the very same conditions, and there is
much to be picked up from animal health care that
can be equated to human healthcare, leading to
brand-new and cost effective therapies for human
conditions."."There are numerous chronic
conditions that impact human beings and animals
such as cancer, heart disease, kidney illness,
diabetes, obesity, asthma, arthritis and
orthopedic diseases," noted Dean of the College
of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State College
Dr. Ralph Richardson.The Summit speakers
required organized discussion in between doctors
and veterinarians, to build on common swimming
pools of knowledge in areas such as physiology,
pathology and epidemiology, embracing "One
Wellness" and identifying shared advantages for
animals and human.
