The objective was to quantify the strength of the relationship between body condition score (BCS) and live weight (LW) in pasture-based Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle, and to determine the kg LW per unit BCS. A total of 26021 test-day records with information on both BCS (1-10 scale, where 1 is emaciated and 10 is obese) and LW across 1110 lactations from one research farm were used in the anal...

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical and pathological variables which impact rate of re-excision following breast conserving therapy (BCS) with or without concurrent additional margin excision (AM). Methods. The pathology database was queried for all patients with DCIS from January 2004 to September 2008. Pathologic assessment included volume of excision, subtype, size...

The prostate epithelium is composed of basal (BC), luminal (LEC), and neuroendocrine (NEC) cells. It is unclear how many subtypes of BCs in the prostate and which subtype of BCs contains the main stem cell niche in the adult prostate. Here we report seven BC subpopulations according to their p63, cytokeratin 14 (K14) and K5 expression patterns, including p63-positive/K14-negative/K5-negative (p...

On February 29, 2004, the college football Bowl Championship Series (BCS) announced a proposal to add a fifth game to the “BCS bowls” to improve access for mid-major teams ordinarily denied invitations to these lucrative postseason games. Although still subject to final approval, this agreement is expected to be instituted with the new BCS contract just prior to the 2006 season. There aren’t to...

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...
