Description of birthmarks having the pattern of strands of a rope in a second known case includes some verification of the correspondence between the birthmarks and injuries from ropes on an identified decreased person.

Software birthmark is the inherent program characteristics that can identify a program. In this paper, we propose a static API trace birthmark to detect Java theft. Because the API traces can reflect the behavior of a program, our birthmark is more resilient than the existing static birthmarks. Because the API traces are extracted by static analysis, they can be applied to library programs whic...

Port-wine stain (PWS) birthmarks are congenital, low-flow vascular malformations of the skin. Lasers are the modality of choice for the treatment of PWS birthmarks, and for most patients the pulsed-dye laser in conjunction with epidermal cooling offers the greatest efficacy and safety. Other light devices, including the 532-nm frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser, intense pulsed light, 1064-nm Nd:YAG...

Birthmarks in newborns are common sources of parental concern. Although most treatment recommendations are based on expert opinion, limited evidence exists to guide management of these conditions. Large congenital melanocytic nevi require evaluation for removal, whereas smaller nevi may be observed for malignant changes. With few exceptions, benign birthmarks (e.g., dermal melanosis, hemangioma...

a number of innocent rashes occurs in neonates. they are usually transient and self limited and thus require no therapy but early recognition is important to distinguish these lesions from more serious disorders. in this study, our purpose was to determine the frequency of birthmarks in iranian neonates. the presence of various types of birthmarks was determined in 503 iranian neonates under 72...

A software birthmark means the inherent characteristics of a program that can be used to identify the program. A comparison of such birthmarks facilitates the detection of software theft. In this paper, we propose a static Java birthmark based on a set of stack patterns, which reflect the characteristic of Java applications. A stack pattern denotes a sequence of bytecodes that share their opera...

Vascular anomalies affect up to 10% of newborns, largely because of the high incidence of hemangioma of infancy. Vascular anomalies also frequently occur in adults; there is high prevalence of capillary malformations (0.3%). These cutaneous stains often cause psychosocial problems related to their visibility. Venous malformations occur in the skin and in internal organs and may cause destructio...
