The creation of any model is complex requiring vast amounts of data, typically gathered over a series of experiments. Specifically the temperature humidity index (THI) and heat load index (HLI) are used as management tools to implement mitigation strategies during hot climatic conditions. Exposure of the testes to hot climatic conditions has a negative impact on spermatogenesis in the bull, and other species.

The surgical repair of giant inguinal hernias with loss of domain, defined as the relocation of the majority of the intestine into the hernia sac, poses a significant challenge. In the majority of cases, a combination of different surgical techniques with the placement of multiple meshes is necessary to achieve reduction of such complex hernias. The reduction of chronic giant hernias can increase the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome or cardiopulmonary complications.
