The you-only-look-once (YOLO) v2 object detector uses a single stage object detection network. YOLO v2 is faster than other two-stage deep learning object detectors, such as regions with convolutional neural networks (Faster R-CNNs).The YOLO v2 model runs a deep learning CNN on an input image to produce network predictions. The object detector decodes the predictions and generates bounding boxes YOLO v2 uses anchor boxes to detect classes of objects in an image. For more details, see Anchor Boxes for Object Detection. The YOLO v2 predicts these three attributes for each anchor box: Intersection over union (IoU) — Predicts the objectness score of each anchor box. Anchor box offsets — Refine the anchor box position. Class probability — Predicts the class label assigned to each anchor box. The figure shows predefined anchor boxes (the dotted lines) at each location in a feature map and the refined location after offsets are applied. Matched boxes with a class are in color. You can design a custom YOLO v2 model layer by layer. The model starts with a feature extractor network, which can be initialized from a pretrained CNN or trained from scratch. The detection subnetwork contains a series of Conv, Batch norm, and ReLu layers, followed by the transform and output layers, yolov2TransformLayer and yolov2OutputLayer objects, respectively.yolov2TransformLayertransforms the raw CNN output into a form required to produce object detections.yolov2OutputLayerdefines the anchor box parameters and implements the loss function used to train the detect.

Published: April 2024

This article demonstrates a revolutionary deep- learning approach for automated diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). With the help of datasets from the Diabetic Retinopathy Detection 2015 and APTOS 2019 Blindness Detection competitions, our model attempts to accurately classify retinal images into two categories: No DR and Proliferative DR, based on the severity of macular degeneration. We enhance the quality of the dataset and the robustness of the model by carefully preprocessing and augmenting it using various approaches like rotation, flipping, shearing, rescaling, translation, brightness correction, and normalization. We train two models: a regression model and a deep learning model. With an 88% validation accuracy, we demonstrated that our deep learning technique performs better than the regression model. In order to properly determine and classify DR severity levels, this study presents a robust and noise-tolerant system that evolves the field of automated DR detection. Our approach enables early detection and intervention by combining cutting-edge CNN architectures with sophisticated preprocessing techniques, which may lessen the strain of DR- related blindness on healthcare systems. We also demonstrate out drawbacks and suggest areas for additional investigation, such as analyzing ensemble learning and using a variety of datasets to improve the generalizability of the model. As we wrap up, our study emphasizes the potential of deep learning techniques to transform DR diagnosis and treatment, with the goal of enhancing the quality of care for diabetics globally.

Published: April 2024

In a person's mind, there are certain myths and misconceptions regarding generic medicines and their uses, safety, and potency, due to the information prevailing in the community. But the actual facts are totally different from that, and this is based on scientific evidence. The purpose of this review is to create awareness and increase knowledge about generic medicine as well as prescribe generic medicine in India. Generic medicine is the same as branded medicine, and it has the same quality, safety, and efficiency as branded medicine. Both medicines undergo rigorous regulatory testing, and after compliance with regulatory requirements, they get approval for marketing. Generic medicines are less costly as compared to branded ones because they do not undergo drug discovery, preclinical studies, advertisements, and so on. Due to this reduction in all processes, billions of dollars are saved, and manufacturing costs are low. Instead, all processes for generic medicine Bioequivalence and bioavailability studies prove that medicines are safe, effective, and as similar as branded products in terms of therapeutic effects and any side effects. To increase generic prescribing and acceptance in India, healthcare professionals have created an awareness program, given knowledge, and promoted generic prescriptions. The prescribing of drugs by a registered medical practitioner with the best utilization of practice and experience according to the disease condition of patients

FINANCING MODELS FOR GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVES: LESSONS FROM MATERNAL AND GENDER EQUALITY PROGRAMS
Authors: Kevin Namiiro Kuteesa  , Chidiogo Uzoamaka Akpuokwe  , Chioma Ann Udeh
Published: April 2024

Financing models play a pivotal role in sustaining and advancing global health initiatives, particularly those aimed at addressing maternal health and promoting gender equality. This review provides a comprehensive overview of financing strategies employed in such initiatives, drawing insights from successful programs and highlighting key lessons learned. Maternal health remains a critical area of concern worldwide, with millions of women facing risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Gender disparities exacerbate these challenges, further underscoring the importance of targeted interventions. Financing models for maternal health initiatives have evolved over the years, with a shift towards innovative approaches that prioritize sustainability and scalability. One prominent financing model is the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs), which leverage resources from both governmental and non-governmental entities. These partnerships facilitate greater efficiency in resource allocation and enable the mobilization of additional funding streams. Examples such as the Global Financing Facility (GFF) demonstrate how PPPs have catalyzed investments in maternal health, leading to tangible improvements in access to quality care. Furthermore, results-based financing (RBF) mechanisms have gained traction in incentivizing the achievement of specific health outcomes. Through performance-based incentives, RBF encourages healthcare providers to deliver high-quality services while ensuring accountability and transparency. Initiatives like the World Bank's RBF programs have shown promising results in enhancing maternal health outcomes and narrowing gender gaps in access to healthcare. Additionally, innovative financing mechanisms such as social impact bonds (SIBs) and development impact bonds (DIBs) offer new avenues for mobilizing private capital towards maternal and gender equality programs. By aligning financial returns with social impact goals, these instruments attract investors seeking both financial and social returns, thereby diversifying funding sources and promoting sustainability. Financing models for global health initiatives targeting maternal and gender equality programs are diverse and dynamic, reflecting the multifaceted nature of these challenges. Lessons learned from successful initiatives underscore the importance of collaboration, innovation, and adaptability in achieving sustainable progress towards maternal health and gender equality goals on a global scale.

A compreensão abrangente da conduta cirúrgica nessas situações é crucial para garantir o melhor resultado possível para os pacientes. Objetivo: Analisar e sintetizar as evidências disponíveis sobre as diferentes abordagens cirúrgicas no tratamento de neoplasias hepáticas, incluindo ressecção hepática, embolização arterial hepática e ablação por radiofrequência, a fim de fornecer uma visão abrangente das opções terapêuticas disponíveis e suas indicações clínicas. Metodologia: A revisão foi realizada de acordo com as diretrizes do PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science por artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, utilizando os descritores "neoplasias hepáticas", "cirurgia hepática", "tratamento cirúrgico", "ressecção hepática" e "ablação por radiofrequência". Os critérios de inclusão foram estudos que abordassem as diferentes modalidades de tratamento cirúrgico para neoplasias hepáticas em pacientes adultos e pediátricos, enquanto os critérios de exclusão foram estudos com amostras pequenas e relatos de caso. Resultados: Os resultados desta revisão destacaram a eficácia da ressecção hepática como tratamento padrão para neoplasias hepáticas localizadas, com altas taxas de sobrevida em pacientes selecionados. Além disso, a embolização arterial hepática e a ablação por radiofrequência mostraram-se opções promissoras para pacientes com tumores inoperáveis ou que não são candidatos à ressecção hepática. A revisão também ressaltou a importância da abordagem multidisciplinar no manejo desses pacientes, envolvendo oncologistas, radiologistas e cirurgiões. Conclusão: A conduta cirúrgica no tratamento de neoplasias hepáticas é um campo em constante evolução, com várias opções terapêuticas disponíveis para pacientes adultos e pediátricos. A abordagem cirúrgica deve ser individualizada, levando em consideração a extensão do tumor e a função hepática. Uma colaboração interdisciplinar é essencial para otimizar os resultados e garantir o melhor cuidado possível para os pacientes.

The purpose of creating this work is as a social criticism and conveying a message regarding the abandonment of the railroad tracks in Batipuh. It is feared that the abandonment of the railway tracks will have a negative impact on the assets of the railways, the people who live on the edge of the railway tracks which will change the use of the station buildings and railway tracks. In order to prevent this from happening, the author was inspired to visualize the negative impact of abandoned railway tracks which were converted into use by the community which was outlined in graphic art works. The creation of the work used the art consortium method with five stages, namely, the preparation stage (observing and exploring), the elaboration stage ( searching for and collecting references), the synthesis stage (application of the idea/main idea), concept realization (creating the work), and the completion stage (in the form of a report and exhibition of the final work). So that the author created ten works with the theme of the impact of abandoned railroad tracks. The resulting works were 10 works with a size of 60 x 40 cm with titles including: Food, Garage, Landfill, Steel Park, Short Road, Buried Asphalt, Distribution, Cloud Top Grass, Toothed Rail, Kadai Katupek.

Examination of the Effectiveness of EMDR Intervention in Children with Animal Phobias: Case Study
Authors: Mukba Gamze
Published: April 2024

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of EMDR interventions for two different children with animal phobias through case studies. In the interventions conducted with the children in this study, facilitative techniques such as allowing the children to express themselves through drawings were utilized in addition to EMDR procedures. The study utilized a multiple case study design, which is among qualitative research methods. One of the cases is a 9-year-old boy who developed a phobic condition related to dogs after being attacked by a dog and experiencing psychological distress associated with his dog phobia in daily life (such as running towards home, increased heart rate, screaming when seeing a dog on his way home from school). The second case is a 10-year-old boy who developed a phobic condition related to insects after being stung by a bug while sleeping and experiencing fear of bugs in nature, such as during a picnic, and having difficulties sleeping alone. In this study, narrative analysis was utilized in the data analysis to describe the experiences of Client-1 and Client-2 regarding their phobic conditions and to present their narratives related to EMDR intervention in a chronological and holistic manner. According to the research findings, EMDR interventions conducted with two children (C1 and C2) who had animal phobias were found to have a positive impact on their phobic conditions.
