At present, catch statistics in the pelagic fishery industry rely mainly on manual counting methods. However, this method suffers from low statistical accuracy and insufficient timeliness. An automatic tuna counting approach based on ByteTrack and YOLOv7-Tuna is presented in this research. The method selects YOLOv7 as the base model, adopts DySnakeConv to obtain more temporal features, combines it with CoordConv to enhance the location-awareness ability of the model, and introduces DyHead to suppress the interference of complex backgrounds. The experimental results show that YOLOv7-Tuna outperforms YOLOv7 in terms of precision by 5.2%, recall by 3.1%, mAP@0.5 by 0.5%, and mAP@0.5:0.95 by 10%. Furthermore, the ByteTrack algorithm was employed to achieve real-time tracking of targets, with specific counting areas added. The results indicate that the counting error of this method decreased to 3.1%. It can effectively accomplish automatic counting tasks for tuna, providing a new solution for the automatic quantification of catch in the offshore fishing industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presence of pituitary metastases (PMs) is a relatively rare clinical situation, especially when originating from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 73-year-old man presented with headaches, diplopia, and soon impaired vision, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a space-occupying mass in the sellar region. The patient had a history of hepatocellular carcinoma and recent abdominal ultrasound and positron emission tomography (PET) indicated recurrence and metastases. Endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal tumor excision was performed, and postoperative pathological report confirmed the diagnosis of HCC PM. In the literature review, 17 published cases of HCC PMs were summarized. Both the diagnosis and management of HCC PMs are difficult. Patients who had HCC-related history and new-onset headaches or diplopia should be inspected with a suspicion of metastatic lesions. Surgical intervention with transnasal endoscope is only recommended to ameliorate the symptoms and improve the life quality., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Cheng and Feng.)
