Oropharyngeal colonization of HIV-infected outpatients in Taiwan by yeast pathogens.

Among 234 isolates comprising 26 different Candida species colonizing the oropharynx of 181 (54.3% of 399 surveyed) HIV-infected outpatients, 27 (11.7%) were fluconazole resistant. Antibacterial treatment was associated with increased rates of yeast colonization, while antiretroviral therapy and pneumococcal vaccination protected patients from yeast colonization.

On the Security of Methods for Protecting Password Transmission

Peyravian and Zunic (2000) proposed a password transmission scheme and a password change scheme over an insecure network. Their proposed solutions do not require the use of any symmetric-key or public-key cryptosystems. However, this article points out that their schemes have several security flaws for practical applications. A slight improvement on their schemes is proposed in this paper to re...
