OBJECTIVES To correlate topical steroidal treatment of stenosed foreskin with the different degrees of glans exposure and the length of time the ointment is applied. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 95 patients with phimosis, divided according to the degree of foreskin retraction. Group A presented no foreskin retraction, group B presented exposure of only the urethral meatus, group C present...

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is most commonly modelled in rats via injection of the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the medial forebrain bundle. Assessment of lateralised choice reaction time is usually conducted in the 9 hole box, a highly specialized apparatus that is not widely available in many behavioural laboratories. The retractable lever Skinner box on the other hand ...

 Prime submodules and artinian prime modules are characterized. Furthermore, some previous results on prime modules and second modules are generalized.

‎A module $M$ is lifting if and only if $M$ is amply supplemented and‎ ‎every coclosed submodule of $M$ is a direct summand‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we are‎ ‎interested in a generalization of lifting modules by removing the condition‎"‎amply supplemented‎" ‎and just focus on modules such that every non-cosingular‎ ‎submodule of them is a summand‎. ‎We call these modules NS‎. ‎We investigate some gen...

An R-module M is called strongly noncosingular if it has no nonzero Rad-small (cosingular) homomorphic image in the sense of Harada. It is proven that (1) an R-module M is strongly noncosingular if and only if M is coatomic and noncosingular; (2) a right perfect ring R is Artinian hereditary serial if and only if the class of injective modules coincides with the class of (strongly) noncosingula...

Let $alpha$ be an endomorphism and $delta$ an $alpha$-derivationof a ring $R$.  In this paper we  study the relationship between an$R$-module $M_R$ and the  general polynomial module  $M[x]$ over theskew polynomial ring $R[x;alpha,delta]$. We introduce the notionsof skew-Armendariz modules and skew quasi-Armendariz modules whichare generalizations of $alpha$-Armendariz modules and extend thecla...

The paper uses a new approach to investigate prime submodules and minimal prime submodules of certain modules such as Artinian and torsion modules. In particular, we introduce a concrete formula for the radical of submodules of Artinian modules.
