- Hip dysplasia is a significant concern for dog owners and veterinarians
- , primarily influenced by factors like hip laxity and joint incongruence. Studies aim to understand and reduce its prevalence through early diagnosis and healthy breeding practices.
- This study examined the relationship between hip dysplasia and specific measurements
- (femoral head area, femoral coverage, and cranio-caudal distance) in 264 adult dogs from three breeds. The results showed variations in these measurements by breed and sex that correlate with dysplasia status.
- Key findings indicated that as hip dysplasia worsens, femoral head area tends to decrease
- , with significant breed-specific differences noted, particularly amongst German wirehaired pointers, German shepherds
Like other nations around the world, Ethiopia has suffered negative effects from COVID-19. The objective of this study was to predict COVID-19 mortality using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven models. Two-year daily recorded data related to COVID-19 were trained and tested to predict mortality using machine learning algorithms.

East Africa was not exempt from the devastating effects of COVID-19, which led to the nearly complete cessation of social and economic activities worldwide. The objective of this study was to predict mortality due to COVID-19 using an artificial intelligence-driven ensemble model in East Africa. The dataset, which spans two years, was divided into training and verification datasets.
