The intention of the present paper is to seek whether gender has any impact on the effectiveness of applying Guthke's Lerntest approach in reading comprehension. For this purpose, after selecting 60 intermediate EFL learners, they were arbitrarily categorized to four clusters of males and females, two experimental and two control groups, each consisting of 15 male and 15 female learners. Both c...

Maternal undernutrition (MUN) during pregnancy may lead to fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which itself predisposes to adult risk of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. IUGR may stem from insufficient maternal nutrient supply or reduced placental nutrient transfer. In addition, a critical role for maternal stress-induced glucocorticoids (GCs) has been suggested to contribute to b...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of best proximal contraction theorems in non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space for two mappings and prove some proximal theorems. As a consequence, it provides the existence of an optimal approximate solution to some equations which contains no solution. The obtained results extend further the recently development proximal contractions in non-Archimedean fuz...

The success rate of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) procedure depends on the morphologic features of the lesion. The abrupt type of CTO, which has a blunt stump with a side branch at the site of occlusion, is suggested to be a predictor of procedure failure. We report a successful recanalization of the abrupt type of CTO by using real-time intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided wiring technique...

The kidneys of mammals microscopically consist of the nephrons, which can be divided into two portions, the renal corpuscles and the uriniferous tubules. The renal corpuscles are composed of the glomeruli which are covered with the Bowman’s capsules. They are localized in the outer zone of the kidney, the renal cortex, while the uriniferous tubules are composed of two portions, the proximal por...

 Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...
