Background: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a systemic inflammatory response to a variety of insults. Presepsin; the soluble CD14 subtype is a novel soluble CD14 molecule that is useful for diagnosing sepsis. It plays an important role in modulating the immune response to endotoxin in vitro and vivo. The aim: Of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of presepsin as a diagnostic marker of sepsis in acute leukemia. Methods: The current study was carried out on 40 adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia after receiving chemotherapy. 10 clinically normal individuals were included in the study to measure the level of presepsin. Results: This study was conducted on 50 individuals divided into 2 groups. Group I included 40 adult AML patients who fulfilled at least two of the diagnostic criteria for SIRS and Group II were 10 healthy adult persons as a control group. In Group I there were 11 patients (27.5%) having SIRS, 8 (20%) having sepsis, 9 (22.5%) having severe sepsis and 12 (30%) having septic shock. Data indicate that presepsin level was significantly higher in patients than control P = 0.017. Our results showed that the level of presepsin has a significantly positive correlation to the degree of severity of sepsis with P value 0.0001. Using the ROC curve, we found that presepsin was more specific than CRP in detection of sepsis. Conclusion: sCD14-ST (presepsin) is a new important marker for diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis. Its level increases in the first six hours after the onset of sepsis. Our data demonstrated that the concentration of presepsin is specifically increased during sepsis and is directly proportional to the degree of sepsis. Regarding sensitivity and specificity of presepsin in the discrimination of sepsis patients from healthy controls, a high specificity but low sensitivity was reported by most of the studies.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
