Impact of Parathyroidectomy on Left Ventricular Function in End Stage Chen et al. BMC Nephrology (2020) 21:479 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-020-02139-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Impact of parathyroidectomy on left ventricular function in end stage renal disease patients Shaohua Chen1,2, Kaixiang Sheng1,2, Ying Shen1,2, Hua Jiang1,2, Xin Lei1,2, Lihui Qu1,2, Chunping Xu1,2, Jianghua Chen1,2 and Ping Zhang1,2* Abstract Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and parathyroidectomy (PTX) is an effective treatment intervention of SHPT. However, the curative impact of PTX on left ventricular function still remains incompletely understood. To evaluate the impact of parathyroidectomy on left ventricular function in ESRD patients, we conducted this retrospective study. Methods: Between Oct 1, 2010 and Oct 1, 2016, ESRD patients presented with SHPT who underwent parathyroidectomy were enrolled. We retrospectively collected the ultrasonic cardiogram parameter pre- and 1-year post-PTX, and analyzed the influence factor for the overturn of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the improvement of ejection fraction% (EF%). Results: In all the patients (135), the main ultrasonic cardiogram parameter dramatically improved after PTX. Compared with pre-PTX, the left ventricular mass (LVM) (172.82 (135.90, 212.91) g vs. 192.76 (157.56, 237.97) g, p<0.001) and the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (107.01 (86.79, 128.42) g/m2 vs. 123.54 (105.49, 146.64) g/m2, p<0.001) significantly declined after 1 year of the PTX. Further, 43.75% patients diagnosed with LVH before the PTX have recovered from LVH. In the subgroup analysis of 35 patients with EF% ≤ 60% pre-PTX, EF% and fractional shortening% (FS%) significantly improved after 1 year of the PTX compared with pre-PTX (EF%: 64.90 ± 7.90% vs. 55.71 ± 4.78%, p<0.001; FS% 35.48 ± 6.34% vs. 29.54 ± 2.88%, p<0.001), and 82.86% patients underwent an improvement of left ventricular systolic function post 1year of the PTX. Conclusions: tPTX+AT is an effective curative intervention of secondaryhyperparathyroidismandcan significantly overturn the LVH and increase the left ventricular systolic function.

  • GPU-Based Password Cracking on the Security of Password Hashing Schemes Regarding Advances in Graphics Processing Units
    Radboud University Nijmegen Faculty of Science Kerckhoffs Institute Master of Science Thesis GPU-based Password Cracking On the Security of Password Hashing Schemes regarding Advances in Graphics Processing Units by Martijn Sprengers [email protected] Supervisors: Dr. L. Batina (Radboud University Nijmegen) Ir. S. Hegt (KPMG IT Advisory) Ir. P. Ceelen (KPMG IT Advisory) Thesis number: 646 Final Version Abstract Since users rely on passwords to authenticate themselves to computer systems, ad- versaries attempt to recover those passwords. To prevent such a recovery, various password hashing schemes can be used to store passwords securely. However, recent advances in the graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware challenge the way we have to look at secure password storage. GPU's have proven to be suitable for crypto- graphic operations and provide a significant speedup in performance compared to traditional central processing units (CPU's). This research focuses on the security requirements and properties of prevalent pass- word hashing schemes. Moreover, we present a proof of concept that launches an exhaustive search attack on the MD5-crypt password hashing scheme using modern GPU's. We show that it is possible to achieve a performance of 880 000 hashes per second, using different optimization techniques. Therefore our implementation, executed on a typical GPU, is more than 30 times faster than equally priced CPU hardware. With this performance increase, `complex' passwords with a length of 8 characters are now becoming feasible to crack. In addition, we show that between 50% and 80% of the passwords in a leaked database could be recovered within 2 months of computation time on one Nvidia GeForce 295 GTX.

  • Networker Command to Gather System Information Nsr Support
    Maintenance Commands nsrsup ( 1m ) NAME nsrsup - NetWorker command to gather system information SYNOPSIS nsr_support [ −ab:cdef:g:hi:jl:m:no:prst:uvwxz ] nsrsup [ −ab:cdef:g:hi:jl:m:no:prst:uvwxz ] DESCRIPTION nsr_support gathers up information about a system to be used by Technical Support or Engineering for analysis. Although there are a lot of flags, in most cases the default should suffice. The output is gathered into /nsr/tmp/n_supp.pid. If an output filename is provided, the contents are moved there. If output is to be emailed, the output is split into multiple files with appropriate names with the pid as suffix, then it’s tar’red, optionally compressed and then uuencoded for mailing. The output can also be in html format for either saving locally or mailing. PLATFORMS nsr_support is officially supported on the following platforms. It will likely run on other Un∗x platforms as well. Platform names as reported by the uname(1) command. SunOS OSF1 HP-UX Linux AIX IRIX IRIX64 DYNIX/ptx OPTIONS The following options affect the behaviour of nsr_support(1m). Long boolean flags can be turned on with −−flag−name | −−flag−name=yes, and they can be turned off with −−noflag−name | −−flag−name=no. Long non−boolean flags can only be turned of with −−noflag−name. Flags which take arguments require their arguments to be a comma or space separated, quoted list. For single letter options, the uppercase version of the flag turns the behaviour off. -a, --all Turn on all flags. -A Turn off all flags. -b cores,daemons --dbg-cores --dbg-daemons Run debugger on core files and/or daemons.
