Phenotypic traits like plant height are crucial in assessing plant growth and physiological performance. Manual plant height measurement is labor and time-intensive, low throughput, and error-prone. Hence, aerial phenotyping using aerial imagery-based sensors combined with image processing technique is quickly emerging as a more effective alternative to estimate plant height and other morphophysiological parameters.

- Acute gastric volvulus is a rare and serious condition that can be hard to diagnose because it shows unusual symptoms.
- A unique case involved a 38-year-old male with a nonincarcerated organo-axial gastric volvulus linked to a para-esophageal hiatus hernia, diagnosed primarily through CT imaging.
- Successful open surgery treated this complex case, underscoring the need for a better understanding and customized management strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Spigelian hernias are often hard to detect and can lead to serious complications like strangulation or bowel obstruction.
- A case study of a 58-year-old woman showed how a CT scan helped diagnose her incarcerated Spigelian hernia, which required laparoscopic surgery.
- Quick surgical intervention is crucial, as conservative methods are ineffective; mesh repair is recommended in all cases.
Article Synopsis
- Foreign body ingestion is frequently seen in children, especially those with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental delays, which can lead to delays in treatment.
- Most ingested foreign bodies typically pass through the digestive tract without causing harm, though a small number of cases may require surgical intervention.
- The focus of treatment should be on reducing anxiety for both patients and their families while promoting a quick recovery so that patients can return to their home environment.
Foreign body ingestion and its natural elimination are common in children. However, this is uncommon for long foreign bodies. Here, we report the spontaneous removal of an ingested pencil in an asymptomatic child.

- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common type of mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, making up about 1% of all GI tumors, with rectal GISTs being particularly rare at only 5% of GIST cases.
- A 46-year-old male was diagnosed with a rectal GIST that had spread to the liver and lungs, and he was treated with Imatinib Mesylate, a targeted therapy.
- Rectal GISTs should be considered as a possible cause for patients experiencing defecation issues, bleeding, or pain in the rectal area, despite their rarity.
Article Synopsis
- A foreign body can enter the anal canal for various reasons, including sexual gratification, assault, or accidental insertion, like in the case of a man who accidentally inserted a cough syrup bottle.
- Patients often seek help late due to embarrassment or fear of judgment.
- Removal can be attempted manually under anesthesia, and follow-up procedures like sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy can check for any injuries or damage to the rectal area.
