Likewise, the poor-quality feeds and inadequate supply of feed biomass from the grazing-land (natural-pasture) to livestock in South Omo Zone are one of the important element that are contributing to low outputs (milk, meat and growth rates) from the livestock [4,5]. It seems that the nutritive values generated from the grazing-lands are seriously affected by dynamics of pasture-forages [5,6]. Hence, nutritive values from the extensive-grazing-lands do not realize the crude protein and energy demands of livestock. “This is activating to escalation great slow growth rates, high mortality, longer calving intervals and substantial weight loss” [7,8]. The supplementary feeding system is the addition of some feeds that are rich with vital nutrients to low-quality-forage to improve the intake and digestibility of low-quality forages aimed for higher outputs from animals. The evaluating and familiarizing of locally adaptable improved forages-crops to supplement the extensive-pasture-grazing system for pastoral and agro-pastoral areas is only the way to engulf feed shortages [4,5]. The Leucaena species is one of legume fodder trees, which is evergreen, highly branched and have a fast-growing potential, which grows up to a height of 5m to 20m [9]. It well adapted and better yielded in a wide range of rainfall environments which ranging from 6503,000mm with warm temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C [10].

While pharmacological studies on drugs that cause cardiac, hepatic, and nephrotoxicity have resulted in drug termination, the same type of studies on herbal medicine are ignored and actions have not been taken to protect the youth from this herb in their productive stages of life. The endemic production of Ruta Graveolens is in India [1], Ethiopia [2], and South Africa [3] where there is a dramatic growth in population that masks the toxic and infertility effect on the younger population. The purpose of this study is to bring awareness that Ruta Graveolens is a toxic plant and should be handled with caution.","PeriodicalId":9035,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91046453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collection of patients’ medical data can be made more accessible using IoT technologies by improving workflow automation. As a result, meaningful information about patients’ symptoms is provided immediately, facilitating their treatment and remote monitoring in real-time [3,4]. A significant advantage is that it is possible to monitor patients from home via wireless sensors, thus reducing the need for regular hospital visits [5]. Furthermore, these medical devices can send alerts if something serious happens [6-8]. Also, the patient’s surrounding area can be monitored, and, through data processing, health conclusions can be drawn [9]. The volume of data stored in EHRs has increased significantly through the use of IoT devices located in different locations, and managing this data is extremely difficult [10]. Cyberattacks have also increased as most medical systems are vulnerable to a single point of failure resulting in information leakage with severe consequences [11].","PeriodicalId":9035,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research","volume":"15 12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86984654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
