Accurately predicting when calving will occur can provide great value in managing a dairy farm since it provides personnel with the ability to determine whether assistance is necessary. Not providing such assistance when necessary could prolong the calving process, negatively affecting the health of both mother cow and calf. Such prolongation could lead to multiple illnesses.

- The study investigates the impact of the labrum on hip impingement and range of motion (ROM), specifically comparing cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH).
- Using MRI and CT scans, the researchers measured the labrum's size and recreated a virtual labrum to simulate dynamic conditions, assessing maximum hip flexion and internal rotation angles before and after labral reconstruction.
- Results showed that the labrum was thicker and wider in BDDH compared to FAI, with more significant decreases in internal rotation angles post-reconstruction in BDDH, indicating that the labrum plays a crucial role in hip mechanics and potential impingement
Background: The alpha angle used to evaluate cam morphology can be determined on different imaging views; however, 2-dimensional (2D) imaging can present limitations in terms of the reproducibility of the radial alpha angle. Recent developments in 3-dimensional (3D) high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have allowed detailed evaluations of the radial alpha angle.
Purpose: To determine whether there are any correlations or discrepancies between the 2D alpha angle on plain radiography and the maximum radial alpha angle on 3D MRI.
Nowadays, for numerous reasons, smart farming systems focus on the use of image processing technologies and 5G communications. In this paper, we propose a tracking system for individual cows using an ear tag visual analysis. By using ear tags, the farmers can track specific data for individual cows such as body condition score, genetic abnormalities, etc.
