Monitoring the herd during supplementation is essential to understanding animals' ingestive activities, making decisions when choosing the supplement parameters, and correctly managing the livestock and agriculture processes. Programmable Automatic Feeders (PAFs) are important tools that support stakeholders in the treatment process, decreasing the time and cost compared to traditional supplementation methods. This paper presents a dataset that consists of data acquired from a supplementation experiment using a PAF with a Nelore herd in a paddock of 16 ha with Decumbens forage.

Estimating pasture parameters is essential for decision-making in the management of livestock and agriculture. Despite that, the time-consuming acquisition of outdoor forage samples and the high cost of laboratory analysis make it infeasible to predict parameters of quality and quantity forage recurrently and with great accuracy. Previous work has shown that multispectral and weather data have correlation with forage parameters, enabling the design of supervised machine learning models to predict forage conditions.

Background: A causal relationship between glaucoma and obstructive sleep apnea has been postulated in several clinical studies but also refuted by others. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of glaucoma in a cohort of patients with well-established obstructive sleep apnea in comparison to the published data on this topic.

Methods: A total of 100 consecutive patients (male:female  80:20, mean age 59 ± 11 years SD) with polysomnographically established obstructive sleep apnea underwent an ophthalmological examination including tonometry, static perimetry and dilated fundus photography.

Several lines of evidence suggest an association between (normal-tension) glaucoma and sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS). It is hypothesised that the glaucomatous damage may result from impaired perfusion of the optic nerve head secondary to repetitive prolonged apnoeas. Therefore, screening for SAS in suspectible glaucoma patients is recommended.

Retinal arteriovenous malformations represent a rare syndrome in which a direct connection of major vessels without interposition of capillaries may lead to various complications such as thrombosis and vessel occlusion. This review comprises the computer-stored data of all the 121 patients with arteriovenous malformations described in the literature. Twenty-seven patients had typical Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome (in this article designated as congenital retinocephalofacial vascular malformation syndrome), 25 had incomplete congenital retinocephalofacial vascular malformation syndrome (without facial skin lesions), 57 had isolated retinal arteriovenous malformations, and 12 had arteriovenous communications of the retina and distinct neurological signs, but without neuroradiological evidence of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (presumed cerebral arteriovenous malformations).
