the study was carried out for a period of 150 days on 120 holstein friesian crossbred dairy cows between mid to late lactation to quantify the influence of body condition score (bcs) on yield and composition of milk. total 12 dairy farms having same housing systems and holding at least 20 crossbred dairy cows per farm between mid to late lactation were selected for this study purposes. bcs of i...

Background & Aims: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) are two rare vascular disorders of the liver that can lead to life-threatening complications. We conducted a global survey to systematically analyze the scienti c publications in the elds of PVT and BCS. Methods: All papers regarding PVT and BCS were identi ed via the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases. e...

BACKGROUND Behcet's disease (BD) is a well-known cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Data are lacking on the presentation and outcome of BCS related to BD. METHODS We investigated the relationship between BD and BCS in 14 patients with both diseases and compared the results to 92 BCS patients without BD. RESULTS Male gender (p = 0.003), North African origin (P = 0.007) and inferior vena ca...

The reproductive activity of 84 female Blanca Andaluza goats was monitored over 17 months to determine the role of body condition score (BCS) and body weight (BW) in its control. Following a 3×2 factorial experimental design, the animals were allocated to three groups: low BCS (≤2.50, n=24), medium BCS (BCS=2.75-3.00, n=31) and high BCS (≥3.25, n=29). The same animals, irrespective of the BCS g...

The objective of this research was to estimate daily genetic correlations between longitudinal body condition score (BCS) and health traits by using a random regression animal model in first-lactation Holsteins. The use of indicator traits may increase the rate of genetic progress for functional traits relative to direct selection for functional traits. Indicator traits of interest are those th...

BACKGROUND Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) often leads to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been increasingly used to treat BCS patients with HCC. The purposes of this study were to illustrate imaging features in BCS patients with HCC, and to analyze the effects of TACE on BCS patients with HCC. METHODS 246 consecutive patients with primary BCS wer...

Cryoconservation of blastodermal cells (BCs) can preserve genetic material for the future reconstruction of poultry breeds. The aim of our study was to compare the effects of three slow freezing programs and vitrification, different cryoprotectants (5% DMSO, 10% DMSO, or multi-component cryoprotectant (MC) and two thawing methods on the viability of chicken BCs. Significant differences in the s...

To overcome the limitations associated with studying the interactions between bacterial communities (BCs) and cyanobacteria in natural environments, we compared the structural and functional diversities of the BCs associated with 15 non-axenic cyanobacterial strains in culture and two natural BCs sampled during cyanobacterial blooms. No significant differences in richness and diversity were fou...

Biochars (BCs) are considered as ecofriendly and multifunctional materials with significant potential for remediation of contaminated water soils, while engineered biochars (E-BCs) enlarged surface areas abundant functional groups can perform even better in environmental remediation. This review systematically summarizes the key physical chemical properties BCs that affect their pollutant sorpt...
