Grapevines ( L.) are one of the most economically relevant crops worldwide, yet they are highly vulnerable to various diseases, causing substantial economic losses for winegrowers. This systematic review evaluates the application of remote sensing and proximal tools for vineyard disease detection, addressing current capabilities, gaps, and future directions in sensor-based field monitoring of grapevine diseases.

Understanding geometric and biophysical characteristics is essential for determining grapevine vigor and improving input management and automation in viticulture. This study compares point cloud data obtained from a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) and various UAV sensors including multispectral, panchromatic, Thermal Infrared (TIR), RGB, and LiDAR data, to estimate geometric parameters of grapevines. Descriptive statistics, linear correlations, significance using the F-test of overall significance, and box plots were used for analysis.

Introduction: Patients undergoing intubation and mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit risk developing post-extubation oropharyngeal dysphagia (PED). PED can lead to aspiration complications, aspiration pneumonia, and prolonged hospitalization, as well as increased repeat intubation and in-hospital morbidity and mortality.

Objective: This evidence implementation project aimed to promote evidence-based screening and early detection of PED in an adult intensive care unit in a secondary public hospital in Brazil.
