needle insertion is a minimally invasive technique in diagnosing and treating tumors. however, to perform a surgery accurately, the tissue should have minimum amount of displacement during needle insertion so that it reaches the target tissue. therefore, the tissue membrane has to move less to decrease rupturing under the membrane. in this study, the effect of different design parameters on dis...

Humans are very interesting beings since they relate and depend on each other for survival. Understanding their behaviors calls for an intensive study and critical contemplations on how they relate especially in their diverse social groups settings. Scholars such as Hogg and Abrams (2003) have identified that “social identity processes generate intergroup mannerisms, and intergroup mannerisms m...

Pyloric atresia is a rare congenital anomaly; to date, only 29 newborns with this defect have been reported. Though familial occurrence of this anomaly has been reported twice (Benson and Coury, 1951; Thompson et al, 1968; Bronsther, Nadeau, and Abrams, 1971), no previous comments have been made concerning a possible genetic aetiology. The purpose of this paper is to report 5 additional familia...

Persistent ductus arteriosus is commonly regarded as a purely mechanical disorder which only requires adequate closure for complete normalization of heart volume and prognosis. The common rapid normalization of heart volume and functional capacity is well documented (Ekstrom, 1952; Strauss, Abrams, and Robinson, I958). This report describes two young women with unequivocal signs of persistent c...
