Estimation of crowd size for large gatherings is an indispensable metric for event planners, local authorities, and emergency management. Currently, most crowd counting relies on dated methods such as people counters, entrance sensors, and ticket sales. Over the past decade, there has been rapid development in crowd counting techniques and related technology. Despite progress, theoretical advances in crowd counting technology have outpaced practical applications. The emergence of the vast array of crowd counting techniques has added to the challenge of determining those advances that can be most readily implemented. This article aims to provide an overview of promising crowd counting strategies and recent developments applied within the disaster medicine context along with the best use cases and limitations.

Crowd counting aims to estimate the number, density, and distribution of crowds in an image. While CNN-based crowd counting methods have been effective, head-scale variation and complex background remain two major challenges for crowd counting. Therefore, we propose a multiscale region calibration network called MRCNet to effectively address these challenges.

Epithelial cell collectives migrate through tissue interfaces and crevices to orchestrate development processes, tumor invasion, and wound healing. Naturally, the traversal of cell collective through confining environments involves crowding due to narrowing spaces, which seems tenuous given the conventional inverse relationship between cell density and migration. However, the physical transitions required to overcome such epithelial densification for migration across confinements remain unclear.

In order to solve the problem of weak single domain generalization ability in existing crowd counting methods, this study proposes a new crowd counting framework called Multi-scale Attention and Hierarchy level Enhancement (MAHE). Firstly, the model can focus on both the detailed features and the macro information of structural position changes through the fusion of channel attention and spatial attention. Secondly, the addition of multi-head attention feature module facilitates the model's capacity to effectively capture complex dependency relationships between sequence elements.

Currently, for obtaining more accurate counts, existing methods primarily utilize RGB images combined with features of complementary modality (X-modality) for counting. However, designing a model that can adapt to various sensors is still an unsolved issue due to the differences in features between different modalities. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified fusion framework called CMFX for RGB-X crowd counting.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a group of bone marrow disorders involving cytopenias, hypercellular bone marrow, and dysplastic hematopoietic progenitors. MDS remains a challenge to treat due to the complex interplay between disease-induced and treatment-related cytopenias. Venetoclax, a selective BCL-2 inhibitor, in combination with azacitidine, a hypomethylating agent, is currently being investigated in patients with previously untreated higher-risk MDS.
