Childrens Monkey Fold Away Chair

Product Information

Fairtrade is about better prices, but also decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. Workers who make items such as this Child’s Dangling Monkey Chair.

For more substantial pieces you'll need a dedicated spot or be willing to stash them in a closet or other storage area.The Dark Magic Inflatable Thrusting Machine looks like it could be a simple inflatable lounger with really good leg support–that is until you notice the remote control that controls motor thrusting toys for a realistic experience while you’re going solo. To make it extra spicy, there’s a slot in the center of the seat where you can put an insertable toy and then sit your sub right down on it and hold them there with the restraints. The chair comes with a toy to start with that fits the slot but be warned that it’s quite realistic if that’s not your general toy preference. One unique thing I love that you’re not going to find in cheaper chairs with a similar design is that this one is height-adjustable. Depending on what you’re doing, height can make all the difference in your comfort depending on whether you’re looking to bounce or stay in to eat. The legs can easily be turned to raise and lower the seats and they even mark off the height for you so you don’t have to struggle with guessing to make sure all the legs are the same length. The seat can be as high as around 15 inches off the ground and as low as 11.8 inches. It’s plenty sturdy with real wood boards that are covered with high-density foam to protect hands and knees. The faux-leather cover is easy to clean which is essential. There are cheaper versions of this type of chair but this is a solid, quality product for something you really don’t want failing on you in the middle of your night.

Zhu H, Yu L, He Y, Wang B (2014) Nonhuman primate models of type 1 diabetes mellitus for islet transplantation. J Diabetes Res. doi: 10.1155/2014/785948 Specifically-designed restraint chairs are commonly used in research studies that require non-human primates to ‘sit’ in place for sustained periods of time (e.g. behavioural neuroscience and drug infusion studies). Despite widespread use of restraint chairs, there is little published information about the methods used to train monkeys to accept this form of restraint, which can be a stressful procedure for these animals. Clinically, the FDA-approved Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system (Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, Dexcom, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) can sense interstitial glucose frequently in diabetic patients to inform exogenous insulin delivery timing and dosage. Compared with the arterial glucose telemetry monitoring method used in this study, the advantages of the clinical CGM system (subcutaneously) are relatively easier installation, less expensive, less invasive, and more acceptable safety profile which becomes the mainstay for patient use. For animal research, the disadvantages of the clinic CGM system can firstly manifest moderately delayed glucose readings (5–12 min) [ 26– 29] and likely worsen with implantation time as encapsulation develops [ 30, 31]. Secondly, the CGM system readings of glucose level can vary due to local fluctuations of subcutaneous blood flow by the change of temperature and/or mechanical pressure [ 32, 33]. Thirdly, subcutaneously inflammatory response results in biofouling and encapsulation, which limits sensor service time (less than 2 weeks) [ 26, 34]. Fourthly, fixation of subcutaneously inserted sensor for stable data collection in physically active monkeys is very challenging. To stabilize implanted sensor and to avoid any delay of glucose reading, this study used the implanted HD-XG telemetry device to access arterial vasculature and provided real-time blood glucose information [ 12].

Child’s Dangling Monkey Chair – This wonderful fair trade children’s chair features our playful monkey friend mischievously dangling from a branch. Handcrafted by skilled artisans using ‘environmentally friendly’ rubberwood, it is skillfully illustrated and hand painted. It looks fabulous on its own or even better when paired with our matching monkey table. Ensuring that the chair restraint process is as fully refined as possible will reduce any stress and discomfort to a minimum, facilitating good performance from the monkey and good scientific data.

Diagnostics (Basel) 3(4):385–412 Ensuring that the chair restraint process is as fully refined as possible will reduce any stress and discomfort to a minimum, ultimately facilitating good performance from the monkey and good quality scientific data. The authors conclude that there is a need for members of the non-human primate research community to work together to refine chair restraint procedures, and provide a number of recommendations for refinement. These include more pre-study training based on positive reinforcement techniques, standard operating procedures to increase consistency in animal training and monitoring, greater use of specialist training consultants and discussion of training procedures between laboratories, and the need for staff to have a better understanding of macaque behaviour.

Single-point calibrations were performed to prevent non-physiologic changes in the baseline glucose value over time during the study. Non-physiologic changes include enzyme instability due to sensor drifting or fibrin and tissue growth on the sensor electrode. Single-point calibrations were performed at least twice per week at the same time of day and during a time period when the animal’s blood glucose was relatively stable. Data collection The experimental animals (normoglycemia, n = 3 and diabetes, n = 2) were fasted overnight (approximately 16 h) and restrained in the monkey chair. When blood glucose stabilized for around 30 min via observation of the HD-XG glucose signals, the glucose solution (1.75 g/kg = 5 mL/kg of 35% dextrose) was given to the animal via oral gavage. Blood glucose was measured by glucometer (StatStrip Xpress meter) immediately before and at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 min after glucose administration. Meanwhile, blood glucose levels were monitored by the implanted HD-XG device throughout the entire test. The results were plotted and correlated with each other very well (Fig. 7, OGTT).
