Diffuse involvement of the liver with neoplastic processes can present a diagnostic dilemma. We present the case of a diffusely infiltrative neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that mimicked Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), not previously described in the literature. Histological evaluation can be limited without well-defined margins. Only one of two biopsies revealed a NET. A diagnosis of BCS was first cons...

The objective of this research was to determine the frequency for the occurrence of MS in dogs, using the criteria determined, and to correlate the criteria of dogs that would characterize the MS with different body condition score (BCS). 271 dogs with different body scores were studied, with 101 dogs with BCS 4-5; 101 dogs with BCS 6-7; and 69 dogs with BCS 8-9. Among the dogs studied, 62 (22,...

The addition of radiotherapy (RT) to breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is common clinical practice in the treatment of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The objective of this meta-analysis is to assess the cumulative evidence of the benefit of RT in this situation. The analysis includes all available English-language randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing outcomes in patients w...

OBJECTIVE To determine the body condition score (BCS) distribution for dogs examined at a teaching hospital and examine whether the BCS distribution for dogs with cancer differed significantly from the distribution for dogs without cancer. SAMPLE POPULATION 1,777 dogs with cancer and 12,893 dogs without cancer. PROCEDURES A retrospective prevalence case-control study was conducted that used...

The biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) and biopharmaceutics drug distribution classification system (BDDCS) are complementary classification systems that can improve, simplify, and accelerate drug discovery, development, and regulatory processes. Drug permeability has been widely accepted as a screening tool for determining intestinal absorption via the BCS during the drug development...

A practical approach was proposed to produce transgenic chimeric chickens using blastodermal cells (BCs). The chicken BCs were mechanically dissociated and transferred into the recipient eggs that had been exposed to 500 rads irradiation of Co and windowed on the equatorial plane. Chimeric chickens were generated using two models: the crosses (MXL) from Black Minors (ii,EE,b/b) ♂×Barred Leghorn...

INTRODUCTION The efficacy of retreatment techniques for BC Sealer (BCS) (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA) removal has not yet been assessed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of solvent and rotary instrumentation in the removal of BCS when used in combination with gutta-percha (GP) as compared with AH Plus sealer (Dentsply, Tulsa, OK). METHODS The mesiobuccal canals of 40 man...

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are frequent infectious complications in neutropenic patients. In order to determine the efficacy of surveillance blood cultures (BCs) to detect BSIs prior to clinical manifestation we performed a prospective trial. One hundred patients with haematological malignancies and long-term neutropenia following intensive cytotoxic therapies were recruited. BCs were taken ...

A renormalization scheme is introduced to study quantum Anosov maps (QAMs) on a torus for general boundary conditions (BCs), whose number ( k) is always finite. It is shown that the quasienergy eigenvalue problem of a QAM for all k BCs is exactly equivalent to that of the renormalized QAM (with Planck's constant Planck's over 2pi(') = Planck's over 2pi/k) at some fixed BCs that can be of four t...

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a disorder caused by occlusion of the hepatic vein or inferior vena cava. The clinical presentation include abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, ascites, leg edema, collateral venous dilatation of the body trunk, and portal hypertension. In addition, BCS can cause hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in some patients, although its pathogenesis is not yet completely understood. ...
