Screening for Cushing Syndrome at the Primary Care Level: What Every General Practitioner Must Know by Ernest Yorke, Yacoba Atiase, Josephine Akpalu, Osei Sarfo-Kantanka

“…The clinical awareness of the primary care physician (PCP) to the highly indicative signs and symptoms such as facial plethora, proximal myopathy, reddish purple striae, and easy bruisability should alert him to look for biochemical evidence of Cushing’s syndrome through any of the first-line screening tests, namely, 24-hour urinary free cortisol, overnight dexamethasone suppression test, or late-night salivary cortisol. Commonly used random cortisol measurements are unreliable; hence, general practitioners are encouraged to understand the use of these more reliable tests with increased sensitivity and specificity for screening Cushing’s syndrome. …”

Efficient anonymous password-based authenticated key exchange scheme by TAN Shi-chong, PANG Liao-jun, SU Wan-li, WANG Yu-min

“…,the key was used for data confidentiality and/or integrity）.There has been much interest in password-authenticated key exchange protocol which remains secure even when users choose passwords from a small space of possible passwords,such as a dictionary of English words.A password-based authenticated key exchange scheme was proposed.The analysis shows that the scheme is secure against dictionary attack under the computational Diffie-Hellman intractability assumption,and preserves user privacy and achieves unlinkability.Furthermore,since denial-of-service（DoS） attacks have become a common threat,DoS-resistantance is a design consid-eration and the scheme is proved to be secure against denial-of-service attacks.…”
