Prevalence and Risk Factors for Eye Problems among 20-65 Years Old Iraqi Diabetics Patients

Background: Diabetes is a chronic illness that requires continuing medical care to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complication. Eye
diseases are the most feared complication of diabetes. The main disorders include diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma. Early detection of these conditions is
important to avoid risk of vision affection or even blindness.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors for eye problems among 20-65 years old diabetics' patients.
Methods: We studied 2540 diabetic patients selected from the Specialized Center for Endocrinology & Diabetes and the National Center for Treatment & Research of
Diabetes in Al-Mustanseria Collage of Medicine from the 1st of January, 2004 to the 31st of December, 2005. Structured questionnaires, full ophalmological examination
were used to determine the prevalence of eye problems with their risk factors.
Results: It was found that the prevalence of eye complications in the study sample was 45.4%, 30.2%, 14.6 and 3%, for reduction in visual acuity, retinopathy, cataract
and glaucoma respectively. These ocular manifestations are common and cause a significant deterioration in the vision. Age, family history, duration of diabetic
disease, smoking, and presence of chronic diseases (hypertension&\or ischemic heart disease), were found to be the main risk factors for the above complications which in
turn lead to reduction in the visual acuity in diabetic patients.
Conclusions: These ocular manifestations are common in diabetic patients and cause a significant deterioration in the vision. Regular ophthalmology, including slit-lamp
examination, fundus examination and regular measurement of the intraocular pressure, are necessary for the early detection and management of potential
complications.

Influence of heat transfer on Magneto hydrodynamics oscillatory flow for Williamson fluid through a porous medium

In this paper, we have examined the influence of heat- transfer on the magnetohydrodynamics oscillatory flow of Williamson fluid during porous medium for two types of geometries "Poiseuille flow and Couette flow". We use perturbation technique in terms of the Weissenberg number to obtain explicit forms for velocity profiles. The results that obtained are illustrated by graphs.

Proxy-based sliding mode vibration control with an adaptive approximation compensator for euler-bernoulli smart beams

Proxy-based sliding mode control PSMC is an improved version of PID control that combines the features of PID and sliding mode control SMC with continuously dynamic behaviour. However, the stability of the control architecture maybe not well addressed. Consequently, this work is focused on modification of the original version of the proxy-based sliding mode control PSMC by adding an adaptive approximation compensator AAC term for vibration control of an Euler-Bernoulli beam. The role of the AAC term is to compensate for unmodelled dynamics and make the stability proof more easily. The stability of the proposed control algorithm is systematically proved using Lyapunov theory. Multi-modal equation of motion is derived using the Galerkin metho

Gaussian Integer Solutions of the Diophantine Equation x^4+y^4=z^3 for x≠ y

The investigation of determining solutions for the Diophantine equation  over the Gaussian integer ring for the specific case of  is discussed. The discussion includes various preliminary results later used to build the resolvent theory of the Diophantine equation studied. Our findings show the existence of infinitely many solutions. Since the analytical method used here is based on simple algebraic properties, it can be easily generalized to study the behavior and the conditions for the existence of solutions to other Diophantine equations, allowing a deeper understanding, even when no general solution is known.

The influence of excellent offensive basketball skill-learning activities based on sensory perceptions for female pupils.

The aim of this research is to develop qualitative workouts based on certain sensory perceptions for the development of offensive basketball abilities and to determine their impact on female pupils. Several findings, based on the au-thor's extensive expertise instructing basketball materials and our closeness to the sample, revealed deficits in some sensory perceptions “in the game of basketball”, which impair the accuracy of passing the ball to the best team-mate. It also affects the pace of dribbling and the difficulty of selecting the op-timal moment and distance to fire. Therefore, the researcher designs qualita-tive activities based on many sensory experiences, including distance, speed, force, and direction shift. In addition, the

The Crossing as a New Approach for the Urban Transformation of Traditional Cities Towards the Sustainability

The topic of urban transformations has attracted the attention of researchers as it is one of the basic issues through which cities can be transformed towards sustainability. A specific level of transformation levels according to a philosophical concept known as a crossing. This article has relied on a specific methodology that aims to find a new approach for urban transformation based on the crossing concept. This concept derives from philosophical entrances based on the concepts of (being, process, becoming, and integration). Four levels have been for the crossing are (normal, ascending, leap, and descending). Each of these levels includes specific characteristics that distinguish it. The results showed that there is no descending

Hide Secret Messages in Raster Images for Transmission to Satellites using a 2-D Wavelet Packet

     The hiding of information has become of great importance in recent times. With dissemination through the internet, and communication through satellites, information needs to be secure. Therefore, a new algorithm is proposed that enables secret messages to be embedded inside satellite images, wherein images of any size or format can be hidden, using a system’s image compression techniques. This operation is executed in three main steps: first phase – the original image is converted into a raster image; second phase– steganography, in which a binary secret message is hidden inside a raster image, using a 4×4 array as the secret key; and third phase– compre
