Generation of random sequences using DNA cryptography for OTP encryption.

DNA cryptography is considered as a promising new field for improving cybersecurity and privacy using parallelism and storage capacity of DNA molecules. In this work, novel technique is proposed for generating random and unpredictable keys for symmetric One Time Pad cryptosystems. To achieve this, publicly available DNA sequences stored in genetic databases are used as a source of inherently random, diverse, and variable-length sequences.

Factors associated with non-adherence to insulin in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Western region of Algeria, Tlemcen: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: adherence to drugs is critical for achieving the best clinical results in the treatment of chronic diseases. Adherence to chronic drugs might be influenced by beliefs about medications and other variables. The goal of this study was to assess relevant determinants of medication adherence in Algerian population with insulin-dependent diabetes.

Insulin injection technique in the western region of Algeria, Tlemcen.

Introduction: Algeria has more than 1.7 million diabetic patients on to whom a descriptive assessment particularly on the insulin usage behaviors has not yet been initiated, although is needed. This study aims to provide a descriptive analysis of how Algerian diabetic patients perceive and apply insulin injection techniques.

Relationship between age at onset and clinical characteristics of Behçet's disease.

Introduction: This study compares the clinical characteristics and treatment modalities of Behçet's disease patients by age of onset at the Dr. Tidjani Damerdji University Hospital Center in Tlemcen, Algeria.

Methods: Data from patients treated for Behçet's disease between January 1990 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.

Safety of Interferon Alpha-2a in Patients with Severe Ophthalmic Behçet's Disease: Response to Bielefeld et al.'s Letter.

Thyroid dysfunction is a common and severe side-effect encountered in up to 40% of patients treated with IFN-alpha-2a. The main two mechanisms by which IFN-alpha-2a induces thyroid dysfunction can be categorized as autoimmune and non-autoimmune disease. In the first subgroup, thyroid antibodies are found before treatment initiation, and then patients develop thyroiditis.
