The study was conducted to phenotypically characterize Nguni goats from four agro-ecological zones of Limpopo province, South Africa. A total of 426 goats were sampled from four agro-ecological zones. The quantitative traits that were studied for phenotypic characterization using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were heart girth (HG), body length (BL), withers height (WH), sternum height (SH), rump height (RH), rump length (RL), rump width (RW), cannon circumference (CC), testicular length (TL) and scrotal circumference (SC) while qualitative traits were coat colour pattern and type, back profile, ear orientation, presence of horn, horn shape and orientation.

Background: Morphometric traits discrepancies are associated with production, reproduction, adaptation and behaviours in horses. It also determines the design of harnessing implements, physical injury level and working performance of the native horses. Thus, the study was conducted to evaluate morphometric traits and body conformation indices of horse ecotypes reared across four districts of Bale Zone, Ethiopia.

Background: Evolutionary changes in human rib cage morphology rendered it prone to pathologies like Scheuermann's kyphosis (SK). However, the impact of SK on rib cage morphology is unclear.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine differences in rib cage morphology (e.
Enhancing pectus excavatum diagnosis with an automated batch evaluation tool for chest computed tomography images.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating an automatic CT image-detection algorithm to diagnose pectus excavatum (PE) and evaluate chest wall deformities using MATLAB.
- The algorithm utilized Hounsfield unit thresholds and region growing methods and was validated against known phantom data, showing minimal discrepancies in measurements.
- When tested on 17,214 CT scans from PE patients, the tool displayed high accuracy and strong correlations with manual measurements, efficiently calculating multiple deformity indices without needing initial manual input.
Successful Non-operative Management of Unstable Jefferson Fracture With Transverse Atlantal Ligament Injury (Dickman Type I and IIb) in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a case of an eight-year-old boy who suffered a Jefferson fracture with a related unstable avulsion fracture and damage to the transverse atlantal ligament.
- The patient was treated conservatively with a halo vest and a SOMI brace, leading to a full recovery.
- Follow-up imaging showed successful healing of the injury and stability at the C1/2 spinal level, contributing valuable insights into managing rare pediatric neck injuries without surgery.
