mastitis in cattle is a serious problem which causes considerable economic losses in the dairy cattle herds. the aim of this survey was to identify mycoflorain milk of healthy, clinical and subclinical mastitis of lactating holstein dairy cows. milk samples of 154 holstein dairy cows were collected from 10 dairy cattle herds in suburb of mashhad-iran. the treatment groups included 104 lactating...

397 holstein dairy cows were used to determine locomotion score, lameness prevalence and its relationship with age of the animal and body condition score (bcs). locomotion score was determined using seven gait properties of animal. the results showed that more than 56% of cows in the herd had no locomotion problems. more than 40% of cows were placed in the group of suspected subclinical lamenes...

backgrounds: subclinical ketosis can cause greater economic loss due to a lack of clinical symptoms. objectives: the present study was aimed to design a chemical method for measuring serum ketone bodies in the affected subclinical cows. methods: acetoacetate concentrations were measured using a nitroprusside reaction and b-hydroxy butyric acid (bhba) which was oxidized to acetoacetate using nan...

The concept of subclinical Cushing’s syndrome stands on the presence of adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent subclinical hypercortisolism without a clear Cushingoid phenotype and may be observed in patients with an incidentally found adrenal adenoma [1]. Kim et al. [2] found that the prevalence of subclinical Cushing’s syndrome in Korean patients with adrenal incidentaloma was 7.1% (19 of 26...

BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy with increasing incidence worldwide. The tumor invades surrounding tissues in an irregular pattern via subclinical and microscopic finger-like growths known as subclinical extension. Subclinical extension may be responsible for incomplete resection of the tumor. This study investigates the subclinical extension of BCC. METHOD...

BACKGROUND Thyroid hormone plays a crucial role in the growth and function of the central nervous system. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between the status of subclinical thyroid conditions and cognition among adolescents in the United States. METHODS Study sample included 1,327 adolescents 13 to 16 years old who participated in the Third National Health and Nutriti...

ThirtyFrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. Polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (LTF) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results showed that LFT gene pro...

Data are limited regarding prevalence and prognostic significance of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). We investigated prevalence of subclinical CVD in 1,945 Framingham Offspring Study participants (mean age 58 years; 59% women) using electrocardiography, echocardiography, carotid ultrasound, ankle-brachial blood pressure, and urinary albumi...

A composite measure of subclinical vascular disease has been developed in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). In previous reports, we measured the prevalence of subclinical disease among the original 5201 participants in the CHS, the relationship of risk factors to subclinical disease, and the association of subclinical disease to clinical coronary heart disease. In 1992 to 1993 (year 4 of t...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of subclinical paranoia on social perception and behavior. Two groups of participants, those high and low in subclinical paranoia, were identified based on extreme scores on the Paranoia Scale (PS). As expected, persons high in subclinical paranoia had greater depression, social anxiety, self-consciousness, and lower self-esteem compared ...
