Plant counting is a critical aspect of crop management, providing farmers with valuable insights into seed germination success and within-field variation in crop population density, both of which are key indicators of crop yield and quality. Recent advancements in Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology, coupled with deep learning techniques, have facilitated the development of automated plant counting methods. Various computer vision models based on UAS images are available for detecting and classifying crop plants.

Mean liver stiffness measurements (LSM) and spleen stiffness measurements (SSM) were obtained. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images were analyzed for the distribution pattern of amyloid deposition.

Morquio-Brailsford syndrome is a type of mucopolysaccharidoses. It is a rare disease with features of short stature, atlantoaxial instability with risk of cord damage, odontoid hypoplasia, pectus carinatum, spine deformities, hepatomegaly, and restrictive lung disease. Neck movements during intubation are associated with the risk of quadriparesis due to cervical instability.
