Hybrid attention transformer integrated YOLOV8 for fruit ripeness detection by Jianyin Tang, Zhenglin Yu, ChangShun Shao

“…In addition, during the feature fusion stage, the Hybrid Attention Transformer (HAT) module is integrated into TopDownLayer2 to enhance the capture of long-term dependencies and the recovery of detailed information in the input data. To more accurately evaluate the similarity between the prediction box and the real bounding box, this paper uses the EIoU loss function instead of CIoU, thereby improving detection accuracy and accelerating model convergence. …”

The comparative effects of injecting intra-articular platelet-rich plasma and hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy in osteoarthritis knee - A randomized control trial by Neeraj Singh, Anil K. Gupta, Dileep Kumar, Sudhir Mishra, Ganesh Yadav, Shreya Singh

“…Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is an age-dependent disease caused by degenerative and healing processes in subchondral tissue of articular and bone cartilage, resulting in changes of its biochemical properties that eventually causes pain, stiffness, and decreased articular function. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of platlet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and 25% hypertonic dextrose (Dextrose) prolotherapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. …”
