Complications from Swan-Ganz catheters during insertion, long-term placement, or removal have been known since its development. I describe the unusual presentation of a pacing Swan-Ganz catheter mispositioned into the hepatic vein producing vascular obstruction, yet with adequate cardiac pacing.

We contribute to the renewable energy consumption-income (and growth) nexus literature by performing an empirical study on a worldwide panel database that, depending data availability, covers between 146 and 161 countries for period of 1960 2019 (59 years), enabling much more observations than most subject. The methodology used accounts cross-country dependency, heterogeneity common effects amo...

This paper investigates the asymmetric effects of monetary policy on economic growth over business cycles in Iran. Estimating the models using the Hamilton (1989) Markov-switching model and by employing the data for 1960-2012, the results well identify two regimes characterized as expansion and recession. Moreover, the results show that an expansionary monetary policy has a positive and statist...

The Solow-Swan growth model predicts that growth should be uncorrelated with the ratio of national investment to GDP. If capital markets are open, the model predicts instantaneous convergence of GDP per capita across countries. Convergence is achieved by capital flows from rich to poor countries and a consequence of these flows is that the ratio of national savings to GDP in each country should...

A possible alternative to the Solow-Swan model is some variant of a model of endogenous growth either in the form of the AK model developed by Romer (1986), Lucas (1988) and Rebelo (1991) or in the subsequent group of models by Romer (1990), Grossman and Helpman (1991a, b), and Aghion and Howitt (1992) that focus more explicitly on the determinants of technological change. In this article we st...

A large body of literatures links financial development to economic growth, yet the channels through which inflation and economic development affect this relationship have been less thoroughly explored. This research takes econometric and trilateral graphic approaches to examine these channels using 99 developing and developed countries during the years 1960-2009. Findings prove that respecti...

When cell cycle withdrawal accompanies terminal differentiation, biosynthesis and cellular growth are likely to change also. In this study, nucleolus size was monitored during cell fate specification in the Drosophila eye imaginal disc using fibrillarin antibody labeling. Nucleolus size is an indicator of ribosome biogenesis and can correlate with cellular growth rate. Nucleolar size was reduce...
