Abstract
Mycotic aneurysms are an uncommon complication of infective endocarditis. Aneurysms located in the infrapopliteal arteries are very rare. We report a case of a 37-year-old male patient presenting cough, fever, night sweats, shortness of breath and weight loss, who acutely developed a sharp pain and edema in his right calf, firstly diagnosed as a deep venous thrombosis. Further investigation of his symptoms identified its etiology as an infective endocarditis. Antibiotic therapy was initiated. However, the patient’s clinical condition deteriorated and he was submitted to an aortic valve and a mitral replacement successfully. The leg pain and edema persisted after the surgical procedure and the investigation continued. A Doppler ultrasound test and an angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm located in the right tibioperoneal trunk and in the upper third of the posterior tibial artery. The pseudoaneurysm was treated through endovascular percutaneous embolization and with two Gugliemi detachable coils
Keywords: Mycotic aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, infective endocarditis, septic embolization, tibioperoneal trunk.

Abstract
Hemivertebra is one of the rare congenital vertebral anomalies commonly occurs in lumbar and thoracic spine, in which only one side of the vertebral body develops, resulting in deformation of the vertebral column such as scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis. A hemivertebra acts as a wedge within the vertebral column, resulting in curvature away from the side on which it is present.Review of literature shows that the incidence of hemivertebra is estimated at 0.5-1.0 per 1000 births, with higher incidence for females compared with males (1&2)Hemivertebra may be associated with other congenital anomalies, which have been reported to be present in 61% of patients (3 & 4)

Abstract:
Cache memory is a memory which is used by the central processing unit in a computer to reduce the burden on the main access memory. Cache memory stores all the recent instructions and this is the only reason it is nearest to CPU. It lies in the path between processor and memory and this is the only reason why it use less time to access memory than main memory. Ere cache uses 100ns speed main memory uses 700 ns speed. The subject of using the data is displayed by a factor that is named hit ratio. In this paper, a new process for increasing the hit ratio is introduced which is referred to as the programmable cache memory. This method is a grouping of both the physical and logical approach, i.e., in adding together to use a high speed SRAM, a programmable logical circuit is added to the cache manager in order to increase the hit ratio. In the paper we have thrown light on cache working that the very basic functioning of the processor. We have also reached the topic discussing the cache memories in uniprocessors.  Besides we have discussed the directory protocols used in cache where main protocol is snoopy protocol. And at last we have gone through cache consistencies that is how it works in tough times. And at last we have concluded with some important points.

Abstract:
With the gradual rise in public expenditures and minimum capital generation in various developing states, different governments have reinstated towards domestic and foreign debt. For making the payment of interest and principal may increase the demand for international currency which can affect the exchange rate and inflation trend of the country. However, this research investigates the impact of interest rate, exchange rate, the balance of trade and inflation on governmental debt in Pakistan. The results confirm that interest rate, balance of trade and exchange rate have significant positive effect on the public debt. The sign of coefficient for inflations shows the negative impact of inflation on public debt however, the results are statistically insignificant. Hence it is recommended that government should pursue those projects which yield positive return so that the outstanding interest on debt and part of principal may easily be paid in time in order to avoid chances of financial distress.
