Survival analysis in a Weibull proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the impact of somatic cell count (SCC) on the involuntary culling rate of US Holstein and Jersey cows with first calvings from 1990 to 2000. The full data set, consisting of records from 978,043 Holstein and 250,835 Jersey cows, was divided into subsets (5 for Holsteins and 3 for Jerseys) based on herd average lactat...

PURPOSE Although the role of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) as a predictive and prognostic factor for uterine cervical cancer has been identified in previous studies, 1) the effective patient group of screening for recurrence with SCC-Ag, 2) the relationship between SCC-Ag and recurrence site, and 3) the relationship between the change of SCC-Ag and treatment outcome or recurrence hav...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. More than 275,100 women die from cervical cancer each year. Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (cervical SCC), one of the most frequent types of cervical cancers, is associated with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV), although HPV infection alone may not be enough to induce malignant transformation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of smal...

Somatic cell count is frequently used as an indicator of intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy cattle worldwide. The newly introduced differential SCC (DSCC) can potentially contribute to detection IMI. purpose this study was investigate the dynamics and DSCC after We a data set with monthly samples from 2 Danish herds through 1 yr, using bacterial culture identify regard IMI were assessed at ...

This article evaluates the impact of different fiber types on flexural creep self-compacting concretes (SCC). The study focuses effects vegetable fibers (Hemp, [H] and Dis [D]) synthetic (Polypropylene [P]) SCC. To assess SCC, various tests such as spreading, J Ring, compressive strength, strength are conducted. authors developed a test configuration methodology to subject beams measuring 120 c...

Abstract Rice husk is considered as a waste product of farming. However, rice ash (RHA) has good pozzolanic activity, which can be used in cement-based materials supplementary cementitious material (SCM), and it also suitable for self-compacting concrete (SCC). This study reviews the physical chemical properties RHA RHA–SCC mixtures such fresh (crucial factors evaluation methods workability SCC...

Primary small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus is characterized by high malignancy with a tendency to metastasize early through lymph and blood circulation. Metastasis of esophageal SCC frequently occurs to distant organs such as liver and lung. However, few cases of appendiceal metastasis have been reported. This paper first presents a pathologically confirmed case with metastasis of esop...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate chromosomal instability at 9p21-22 with p16 protein expression in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) compared with immunocompetent patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). DESIGN In a select population of intraepithelial and subsequent invasive SCC from the same anatomic region of the same patient at different times, we assessed loss of heterozygosity at 3 microsatel...
