Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign vascular tumors in children. IHs are generally noticed within the first few days to months of life and are characterized by a rapid growth phase followed by an involution phase. Despite their benign and selflimited nature, some hemangiomas can be life-threatening, may cause complications such as ulceration and permanent disfigurement that r...

PRIMARY CARE IS A MAJOR FOCUS of health policy discussions in the United States today. In this paper we describe the primary care system established at a small rural Indian Health Service (IHS) hospital, the ZuniRamah Comprehensive Health Care Center, in Zuni, N. Mex. We offer this report as a feasibility study to encourage further evaluation and implementation of primary care in the IHS. The I...

Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS), Brovey Transform (BT), and Smoothing-FilterBased-Intensity Modulation (SFIM) algorithms were used to pansharpen GeoEye-1 imagery. The pansharpened images were then segmented in Berkeley Image Seg using a wide range of segmentation parameters, and the spatial and spectral accuracy of image segments was measured. We found that pansharpening algorithms that preserve...

Purpose Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is often characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and sleep-onset rapid eye movement periods caused by muscleblind-like protein 2. The EDS tends to persist even after treatment of sleep apnea. We measured the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) orexin levels in DM1 patients with EDS and compared the clinical characteristics with narcolepsy type 1 and idi...

Random Oracle Model (ROM) is an effective method for measuring the practical security of cryptograph. In this paper, we try to use it into information hiding system (IHS). Because IHS has its own properties, the ROM must be modified if it is used into IHS. Firstly, we fully discuss why and how to modify each part of ROM respectively. The main changes include: 1) Divide the attacks that IHS may ...
