Predictive modeling of cattle calving time emphasizing abnormal and normal cases by using posture analysis.
Sci Rep

Graduate School of Engineering, University of Miyazaki, Miyazaki, 889-2192, Japan.
Accurate calving time prediction plays a critical role in ensuring the well-being of both mother and calf during parturition. Challenges during the calving process, particularly in abnormal cases, often necessitate human intervention to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. This study proposes a novel system for automated prediction of normal and abnormal cattle calving cases based on posture analysis.

Given the higher fall risk and the fatal sequelae of falls on stairs, it is worthwhile to investigate the mechanism of dynamic balance control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis during stair negotiation. Whole-body angular momentum ([Formula: see text]) is widely used as a surrogate to reflect dynamic balance and failure to constrain [Formula: see text] may increase the fall risk. This study aimed to compare the range of [Formula: see text] between people with and without knee osteoarthritis during stair ascent and descent.

BACKGROUND Appropriate management of patients who have fallen is crucial for reducing damage and mortality. We report the case of a patient who fell from a seated position, which caused traumatic liver injury, with gastrointestinal symptoms as the primary patient concern. CASE REPORT A woman in her 80s who was living independently fell from a seated position during the daytime.

Hypertension

Division of General Medicine, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA (S.W.D., F.L.K., H.C., R.-A.N.T.-O., L.H.N., J.L.C., K.J.M., L.A.L., M.Z., S.P.J.).
Background: Orthostatic hypertension is an emerging risk factor for adverse events. Recent consensus statements combine an increase in blood pressure upon standing with standing hypertension, but whether these 2 components have similar risk associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown.
Methods: The ARIC study (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) measured supine and standing blood pressure during visit 1 (1987-1989).

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that leads to rapid cognitive decline, dementia, and neurological deterioration. CJD has several forms, including sporadic CJD (sCJD), which accounts for most cases, and variant CJD (vCJD), linked to exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease). The disease is caused by abnormal prion proteins, which damage the brain and lead to death.
