Impact of Technology on Macro-Level Employment and the Workforce: What are the Implications for Job Creation and Job Destruction in Ghana?

Technology whilst creating jobs has destroyed many jobs. The destructive power of technology has led many workers in developing countries, especially Ghana to fight against its introduction. We investigate the effect of technological change on job creation and destruction in Ghana using longitudinal data from the World Development Indicator covering 1990 to 2018.

Endovascular Thrombectomy and Lysis for Acute Renal Vein Thrombosis: Indications, Technical Aspects, Outcome, and Disease Etiology.

Purpose: To report a rare case of acute renal vein thrombosis (RVT) that was treated with endovascular thrombectomy and lysis, and discuss potential etiology and indications for catheter-directed management.

Case Report: A 21-year-old female athlete presented with sudden pain in her left flank and vomiting. A 3-phase computed tomography (CT) angiogram identified total occlusion of the left renal vein with no excretion from the swollen tender left kidney.

Willingness to accept capitation payment system under the Ghana National Health Insurance Policy: do income levels matter?

This research was set to examine the factors influencing the willingness and the likelihood of Ghanaians to accept the capitation payment system under the National Health Insurance Scheme. Data was collected through the random sampling method in all the ten regions of Ghana. A probit estimation with marginal effects was adopted to examine the factors influencing the willingness and the likelihood while the generalized Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition was used to examine the extent to which individual characteristics influence the acceptance gap between high income and low-income earners.

Highlights on Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Treatment Using Combined Embolization and Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Why Outcomes are Controversial?

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangling between brain arteries and veins causing an arteriovenous shunt called nidus with an intervening network of vessels from the region of formation and spans through the brain. AVM effect is debilitating to the affected individual due to associated persistent intracerebral hemorrhage, resulting in significant occurrences of seizures and neurological damage. Recent innovative treatments involve a combination of embolization (Embo) procedures followed by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), designed to optimize less-invasive practice for the obliteration of the AVMs.

Blocking hedgehog signaling after ablation of the dorsal neural tube allows regeneration of the cardiac neural crest and rescue of outflow tract septation.

Cardiac neural crest cells (CNCC) migrate into the caudal pharynx and arterial pole of the heart to form the outflow septum. Ablation of the CNCC results in arterial pole malalignment and failure of outflow septation, resulting in a common trunk overriding the right ventricle. Unlike preotic cranial crest, the postotic CNCC do not normally regenerate.
