Robust underwater image enhancement with cascaded multi-level sub-networks and triple attention mechanism.

With the growing exploration of marine resources, underwater image enhancement has gained significant attention. Recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNN) have greatly impacted underwater image enhancement techniques. However, conventional CNN-based methods typically employ a single network structure, which may compromise robustness in challenging conditions.

Radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy reduces pain and promotes proximal tendon healing after rotator cuff repair: Randomized clinical trial.

Background: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is widely used to treat soft tissue disorders, but evidence for its application after rotator cuff (RC) repair is lacking.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of ESWT on short-term functional and structural outcomes after RC repair.

Methods: Thirty-eight individuals were randomly assigned to the ESWT group (n = 19) or control group (n = 19) 3 months after RC repair.

Modified posterior fibular groove deepening procedure with repair of the superior peroneal retinaculum for peroneal tendon subluxation.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of modified peroneal sulcus deepening combined with superior peroneal retinaculum repair in peroneal tendon subluxation treatment.

Methods: From 2016 to 2020, 18 patients with peroneal tendon subluxation were diagnosed and treated; all patients underwent modified peroneal sulcus deepening combined with superior peroneal retinaculum repair. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot (AOFAS-AH) score, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated before surgery and during follow-up.

Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Graft Maturation at 2-Year Follow-up After ACL Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Graft maturation is an important prognostic factor for hamstring autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). It remains unclear whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can promote graft healing after ACLR.

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic and graft maturation effects of ESWT in hamstring autograft ACLR.

Underwater image restoration via background light estimation and depth map optimization.

In underwater images, the significant sources of distortion are light attenuation and scattering. Existing underwater image restoration technologies cannot deal with the poor contrast and color distortion bias of underwater images. This work provides a new underwater image restoration approach relying on depth map optimization and background light (BL) estimation.

A membrane arm of mitochondrial complex I sufficient to promote respirasome formation.

The assembly pathways of mitochondrial respirasome (supercomplex I+III+IV) are not fully understood. Here, we show that an early sub-complex I assembly, rather than holo-complex I, is sufficient to initiate mitochondrial respirasome assembly. We find that a distal part of the membrane arm of complex I (P-a module) is a scaffold for the incorporation of complexes III and IV to form a respirasome subcomplex.
