Limbus vertebra (LV) represents a marginal interosseous herniation of the nucleus pulposus, usually in the midlumbar region. It is generally diagnosed as an incidental radiological finding during investigation of a case presenting low back pain or lumbar radiculopathy symptomatology. In this article, we report a case of a 37-year-old male patient complaining of acute low back pain. Imaging revealed a bone defect on the anterosuperior edge of L3 vertebra, finding that was attributed to LV. A comprehensive literature review was conducted regarding LV that should be included in the differential diagnosis of imaging findings of vertebral end defects.

Purpose: This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of a birthing ball (BB) exercises on low-risk parturients during labor, offering a more comprehensive understanding through a larger sample size, robust analysis, and focus on relevant endpoints that were underexplored in previous studies due to limited data.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Central for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing BB (also named Swiss ball) exercises with no intervention or standard care in parturients undergoing low-risk labor. Risk ratios (RR) and mean differences (MD) were calculated using a random-effects model.
