Disease relevance of BAS

• Results supported the utility of the questionnaire measures and reaction time task as assessments of BAS and BIS functioning [9].
• OBJECTIVES: The dysregulation of the Behavioural Activation System (BAS) is discussed as a vulnerability marker for bipolar disorders, resulting in fluctuations of activity and mood [10].

High impact information on BAS

• These oppositely charged surfactants form mixed aggregates on alumina causing retention of BAS by strong hydrophobic and ionic interactions [11].
• Overall, our results suggest that the relationship of the BAS with cardiac reactivity seems to be mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system [12].

• Given Fowles' (1980, 1988) theory that electrodermal activity primarily reflects the activity of the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) while heart rate primarily reflects the activity of the behavioral activation system (BAS), we predicted that electrodermal indices of anxiety would be more affected by oxazepam than heart rate [14].
• Stromal cells isolated from benign and malignant associated stroma (BAS and CAS) of a human clinical sample have been determined to contain similar levels of functional 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) receptor (VDR) [15].

Chemical compound and disease context of BAS

• The BAS results tended to confirm the Lawson & Inglis finding that (1) children with learning disabilities in general have verbal deficits and show significantly higher performance on non-verbal tasks, and that (2) this tendency is more pronounced in males than in females [16].

Biological context of BAS

• Clearances in maximal H2O diuresis were performed to evaluate changes in GFR (CIn), RPF (CPAH) and tubular function before starting CsA (BAS), after 2 days (S1) and 1 month (S2) of oral therapy with 5 mg/kg per day CsA [17].
• In the BAS system recognition of the various features and constituents of the chromosomes is performed by an operator, whereas chromosome identification and classification are entrusted to a computer [2].
• The procedure was studied using a device, the Back Analysis System (BAS), to acquire and process EMG signals from six bilateral muscle sites during sustained isometric contractions designed to progressively fatigue the lower back [18].
• Bacterial adhesion score (BAS, 0-5) and the presence of leukocytes and fibroblasts were estimated from photographs [19].
• ER-a Pvu II, Xba I genotype was not related to BMC, BMD, and BAS at all sites [20].

Anatomical context of BAS

• The calculated cross-sectional areas of the main and interlobar pulmonary arteries (normalized for body surface area [BAS]) were found to give the best estimates of mean pulmonary artery pressure (r = 0.89, P less than 0.001 and r = 0.66, P less than 0.001) [21].
• Antibody BAS 16.4 reacted with two high molecular weight bands (approximately 265 and 240 kD) in Western blotting and decorated a fiber attached to the proximal end of the basal bodies [22].
• The presence of leukocytes and fewer numbers of fibroblasts on the GTR membrane were associated with greater BAS for rod- and filament-shaped bacteria [19].
• The results showed that dispositional BAS sensitivity, particularly BAS Fun Seeking, and Negative Affect interacted with facial image motion in predicting autonomic nervous system activity [23].
• BMD (g/cm(2)), BMC (g), and bone areal size (BAS, cm(2) ) at lumbar spine 1-4 (L(1-4)) and proximal femur (femoral neck, trochanter and Ward's triangle) were measured by duel-energy X-ray absorptionmetry [20].

Associations of BAS with chemical compounds

• Because of the lack of data, an additional stability study was carried out for BAS in an aqueous matrix using traditional preservation methods such as acidification (pH 2)/refrigeration, addition of formaldehyde (5%)/refrigeration, and freezing (-20 degrees C) [24].
• Two enantiomers of commercially available triazole fungicide epoxiconazole (BAS 480 F), first registered in 1993, were resolved for the first time on a microcrystalline cellulose triacetate (MCTA) [25].
• The distribution of serotonin (5-HT) immunoreactive structures has been investigated in the brain of the crested newt by means of indirect immunofluorescence, and unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase-complex (PAP) or biotin-avidin-system (BAS) techniques [26].
• RESULTS: The results showed that large numbers of bacteria (high BAS) were present on both sides of the coronal 2/3 of the membrane in both groups, irrespective of clinical conditions [19].
• OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction achieved by adding the specifically engineered bile acid sequestrant (SE-BAS) colesevelam HCl to a stable dose of fenofibrate in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia [27].

Other interactions of BAS

• After phenotypes were adjusted for age, height, and weight, a significant association was found between VDR Apa I genotype and BMC variation at L(1-4) and Ward's triangle (P<0.05), but not in BMD or BAS at lumbar spine and proximal femur [20].
• High BAS scores were observed if the catabolic enzyme activity and the D2 receptor density as indicated by the two polymorphisms were in disequilibrium, i.e. in the presence of the Val-/A1- (low enzyme activity/high receptor density) or the Val+/A1+ (high enzyme activity/low receptor density) alleles [28].
• We examine a parent-report version of the measure of behavioral inhibition and behavioral activation of Carver and White (1994), the BIS/BAS scales [29].
• Above 3965 m (13,000 ft) the TST required significantly less oxygen flow than the BAS to maintain the target SpO2 [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of BAS

• Combination of BAS adsolubilization-based SPE with liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization in positive ion mode/ion trap mass spectrometry permitted the quantification of BAS with detection limits of 4 ng/L and their identification by isolation and subsequent fragmentation in the ion trap [11].

• CONCLUSIONS: Lower self-reported BAS sensitivity predicts a worse course of depression but EEG asymmetries do not [33].
