Background & Aim: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) share similar pathophysiological background of vascular damage. So we aimed to study the relationship between DR and silent CAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Subject & Methods: A cross sectional study was performed on 40 patients with T2DM from diabetic outpatient clinic in Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt from June 2012 to December 2012. All patients were subjected to data collection, laboratory analysis and imaging studies. Patients with known CAD, abnormal resting or stress ECG, abnormal ejection fraction or segmental wall motion abnormalities, smoking history, hypertension, or abnormal lipid profile were excluded. Results: Mean age is 62.35 ± 1.38 years, 75% (n = 30) were females, 75% (n = 30) had DR, and 77.50% (n = 31) had positive Tc99 scan. There is a significant positive association between Tc99 scan and DR (p value = 0.029) as 86.7% of patients with DR had positive Tc99 scan. Resting and stress perfusion TC99 scan were significantly worse (91.77% vs 100%; 86.48% vs 96.27%, p value = 0.008, 0.005 respectively) and microalbuminuria were significantly higher (207 ± 29.65 vs 36 ± 10.66 mg/dl, p value =< 0.001) in patients with DR. By binary logistic regression, DR was an independent predictor for CAD (OR was 16.377, 95% CI was 1.017 - 263.586, p value = 0.049) after adjustment of SBP and albuminuria. Conclusion: DR is an independent predictor of asymptomatic CAD even with normal stress ECG and echocardiography. Routine screening for CAD using Tc99 scan is recommended in patients with DR even if asymptomatic. More multi-centric prospective studies are needed to elucidate the effect of the degree of DR on CAD risk.

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...
