Introduction: Pseudoaneurysm is a dilatation of an artery with actual disruption of one or more layers of its wall, rather than just expansion of wall layers. Pseudoaneurysms are common vascular abnormalities. Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), sonography, and angiography all are valuable modalities in the imaging workup of pseudoaneurysms. Conventional angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Therapeutic options have evolved in recent years from the traditional surgical option toward a less invasive approach which includes procedures such as Ultrasound (US)-guided compression, US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection, and endovascular management (embolization, stent-graft placement and endovascular coiling). Objective: In this article, we discuss pseudoaneurysms of various arteries, and available percutaneous and endovascular treatment options. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients diagnosed with pseudoaneurysm involving visceral and peripheral arteries were included in this study. The initial diagnosis was made with CDUS, CECT, and CTA followed by catheter angiogram for therapeutic procedures. Results: All the 16 patients with pseudoaneurysms were successfully treated with endovascular and percutaneous embolization to achieve stasis. Conclusion: CT, MRI, sonography, and angiography may all be valuable in the imaging workup of pseudoaneurysms. The use of minimally invasive treatment has led to a marked decrease in the morbidity and mortality rates for pseudoaneurysms.

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...
