The following Maple program finds those p in the first 100000 primes
such that sqrt(p - ssd(p)) is a prime, where ssd(p) is the sum of the
squares of the digits of p.

> ssd:= n->add(d^2,d=convert(n,base,10));
  S:= select(t -> type(sqrt(t - ssd(t)),prime), 
[seq(ithprime(j),j=1..10^5)]);

S := [11, 2903, 3533, 3803, 5197, 9533, 18973, 24763, 37321, 73561, 96953, 
113621, 124777, 129097, 134837, 139241, 398341, 830003, 1100509]
