Malaria and an Amoebic Abscess in a Returning Traveler from Liberia by Mhd Mustafa Albitar, Nafiza Martini, Sandy Alkhalil, Tamim Alsuliman, Ali Alrstom

“…A returning traveler was diagnosed and treated for malaria, and 20 days later, an amoebic liver abscess was discovered, meaning that the malaria infection masked the amoebic infection, which emphasizes the importance of a complete examination of returning travelers, especially for those returning from Sub-Saharan Africa, where coinfections are more common. Herein, we propose that the relationship between Malaria and amoebic liver abscesses should be explored by researching the effects of malaria on ferritin levels and the immune components in the liver and whether it helps the emergence of hepatic amoebic abscesses or not.…”

Robust video watermarking algorithm for H.264/AVC based on texture feature by Wei-wei ZHANG, Ru ZHANG, Jian-yi LIU, Xin-xin NIU, Yi-xian YANG

“…On the basis of analyzing some existing video watermarking al ithms and combining with the new features of the H.264/AVC video coding standard,a new robust video watermarking algorithm based on texture feature was proposed.The proposed algorithm firstly performs the 4×4 integer discrete cosine transform on the current frame in purpose of identifying whether it is the texture block.Then the watermarking is embedded by adopting the way of differential energy for selecting the appropriate coefficients adaptively.The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm has little impact on the video quality and bit-rate,moreover,its robustness can effectively resist the common attacks such as the gauss noise,low pass filter and re-coded performed on the video watermarking.…”
