The evolution of modern imaging modalities, followed by the rapid development of computer technology has introduced many new features in the communication networks used in medical facilities. Since it is very important to keep patient's record accurately, the ability to exchange medical data securely over the communication network is essential for any medical information. In this paper, therefore, we introduce some problems which occur from digitizing medical images such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), CR(Computed Radiography), etc., and then we propose a authentication mechanism for medical image verification using secret watermark images.

In order to effective treats a sick calf, it is necessary to obtain accurate information about the patient's condition. However, the standard references for Korean cattle claves are not well known. Therefore, this study aims to present useful clinical values by analyzing normal blood and diarrhea blood of Hanwoo calf. Recently, with the advent of a portable blood analyzer, it is possible to immediately analyze the patient's condition and severity in the field, not in the laboratory, and to calculate a suitable dosage for supporting fluid therapy. Therefore, in this study, the distribution of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) were analyzed in normal and diarrhea Hanwoo calves. As a result, Hematocrit (HCT) levels increase significantly between 1 and 20 days in diarrhea positive calves. Changes in leukocyte composition had similar growth patterns in normal and diarrhea calves. As it grew, the proportion of neutrophils decreased and lymphocytes increased. However, the number of WBCs increased from 1 to 10 and 21 to 30 days in diarrhea positive calves, which is closely related to the increase in neutrophils. Therefore, those data can be used for diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea calf.

The study is to identify the status of the ward of public hospital for integrated nursing care service. Integrated nursing service has expanded nationwide from 2016 but 10 out of 34 public hospitals are currently unable to operate as nurses due to the shortage. Analyze each floor plan and space program of ward and provide the basic data for the construction of the architecture plans for Integrated nursing care service. For this study, selecting 14 wards of public hospital in Korea and then analyzes space organization, distance from NS to bedroom and NS to core(Elevator) and spatial hierarchy of them. Among the 14 public hospitals, there are 7 types of double-loaded corridor, 4 types of double corridor and 3 types of single corridor. If NS is placed centrally, the control of the outsider and the patient's control would be efficient, but most of NS are lean on one side of floor. the placement of NS should be independent of individual arrangements, but it should be smooth alignment with patient spaces, staff spaces, and public spaces. This study could serve as basic research for the architectural plan for future integrated nursing care in ward of public hospital.
