Global trends and research frontiers on machine learning in sustainable animal production in times of climate change: Bibliometric analysis aimed at insights and orientations for t... by Robson Mateus Freitas Silveira, Concepta Mcmanus, Iran José Oliveira da Siva

“…The main insights generated in the bibliometric analysis were (i) sustainable animal production changed from unidisciplinary science to multidisciplinary science linked to agricultural, environmental and engineering sciences, mainly to genetics and computing; (ii) the concept of sustainable animal production emerged from animal welfare and climate change concepts found in UN's 2030 Agenda; (iii) omics sciences, greenhouse gases, energy efficiency and animal welfare are the main keywords for bibliometric analyses in future studies related to sustainable animal production in the coming centuries; (iii) prediction and classification analyses, i.e., supervised machine learning models used as main tools in animal production; (iv) residual feed intake applied to measure sustainable feed efficiency in animal farming in the past and nowadays; and (v) The United States, China, Brazil and Australia are the main countries publishing studies on sustainability in animal production, but only China has been gaining prominence in publications in this field, in recent years, and it will turn this country into an emerging leader in future publications on this topic. …”

Urgent Right Hemicolectomy by S. N. Shchayeva

“…The main factors that had a statistically significant impact on the risk of postoperative complications were: severe degree of comorbidity (odds ratio — OR 3.1; 95% confidence interval — CI 1.4–6.3; p=0.002), severe general condition upon admission — ASA III–IV (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.2–7.4; p=0.01), anemia — Hb<90 g/l (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.5– 6.1; Odd=0.004), time between the onset of the disease and admission more than 12 hours (OR 2.1; 95% CI 0.9–6.8; p=0.03), time to perform the operation (OR 2 .05, 95% CI 1.38–8.1, p=0.033).Conclusion The presence of chronic diseases characterized by systemic lesions and comorbidity determines the choice of a primary treatment strategy for perforation, bleeding, acute mesenteric ischemia, where it is advisable to perform a right hemicolectomy without primary anastomosis, followed by recovery stage.…”
