Introduction: Segmental cervico facial hemangiomas are defined as those longer than 5 cm, affecting a specific facial area. These lesions can be eventually associated with the PHACE syndrome. Our aim is to propose neonatal treatment with propranolol, showing its efficacy/safety, given the scarce evidence on its neonatal use.
Clinical Observation: After written informed consent, four patients with segmental facial hemangioma were treated with propranolol in the neonatal period. Adverse effects were registered during initial admission. Three of the four patients had PHACE syndrome. Propranolol was effective in 100% of patients, showing hemangioma´s involution without any adverse effect.
Comments: In our series, propranolol was effective and showed no side effects in the neonatal period. If propranolol benefits are greater than its risks, administration of the lowest effective dose is recommended, under hospital surveillance, starting shortly after diagnosis, in order to achieve improved efficacy.

Within the framework of 6G networks, the rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, coupled with their decentralized and heterogeneous characteristics, presents substantial security challenges. Conventional centralized systems face significant challenges in effectively managing the diverse range of IoT devices, and they are inadequate in addressing the requirements for reduced latency and the efficient processing and analysis of large-scale data. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces a zero-trust access control framework that integrates blockchain technology with inner-product encryption.

Video instance segmentation, a key technology for intelligent sensing in visual perception, plays a key role in automated surveillance, robotics, and smart cities. These scenarios rely on real-time and efficient target-tracking capabilities for accurate perception and intelligent analysis of dynamic environments. However, traditional video instance segmentation methods face complex models, high computational overheads, and slow segmentation speeds in time-series feature extraction, especially in resource-constrained environments.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely applied to the automated detection of pipeline leaks. However, traditional AI methods still face significant challenges in effectively detecting the complete leak process. Furthermore, the deployment cost of such models has increased substantially due to the use of GPU-trained neural networks in recent years.
