Unilateral or bilateral hard bony enlargement is sometimes palpated over dairy cows' ribs. Although usually not painful, these injuries may have welfare and economic implications and can be used as indicators of poor husbandry conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of rib lesions in dairy cows kept in intensive systems and to identify the risk factors either associated with the housing or with the animal's clinical history.

Objective: Tube thoracostomy is a life-saving procedure that must be performed competently and expeditiously by emergency care providers. The primary objective of this project was to develop a simple, easily-reproducible, and realistic simulation model for tube thoracostomy placement by learners of emergency medicine.
Methods: This chest tube simulator utilizes two slabs of pork ribs with associated intercostal muscle and fascial planes to aid learners in identifying anatomic landmarks, palpating intercostal spaces, and performing blunt dissection in a manner that approximates human anatomy.

The use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to aid diagnosis of tuberculosis has been investigated in countries where concomitant endemic prevalence of HIV increases the incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). In such cases, using a focused assessment with sonography for HIV-associated tuberculosis (FASH) scan has found to be immensely advantageous as a rapid diagnostic tool in low resource settings where other imaging modalities are scarce. The prevalence of EPTB in immunocompetent patients in industrialised countries is growing.
