in this paper, we study sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of three point boundary vale problem for p-laplacian fractional order differential equations. we use schauder's fixed point theorem for existence of solutions and concavity of the operator for uniqueness of solution. we include some examples to show the applicability of our results.

the purpose of this paper is to obtain necessary and suffcient conditionsfor existence approximate fixed point on geraghty-contraction. in this paper,denitions of approximate -pair fixed point for two maps tα , sα and theirdiameters are given in a metric space.

in this note we point out and rectify some errors in a recently published paper “n. singh, r. jain: coupled fixed point results for weakly related mappings in partially ordered metric spaces, bull. iranian math. soc. 40 (2014), no. 1, 29-40”.

in the present paper‎, ‎we show the existence of a coupled fixed point for a non-decreasing mapping in partially ordered complete metric space using a partial order induced by an appropriate function $phi$‎. ‎we also define the concept of weakly related mappings on an ordered space‎. ‎moreover common coupled fixed points for two and three weakly related mappings are also proved in the same space‎.

UNLABELLED In the field of athletics, acupuncture has been used for treatment of injury, reduction of fatigue and management of physical condition. However, there is little information on the effect of acupuncture on the immune function in response to exercise. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acupuncture treatment on the mucosal immune function after a single period...

BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation is the leading cause of neurological sequelae after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the neuroprotective effects of electroacupuncture (EA) are mediated by anti-neuroinflammatory effects in a rat model of TBI. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operated, TBI control, a...

BACKGROUND Several methods for assessment of severity of pain have been proposed but all of them are subjective. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the association concerning changes in electrical resistance (ER) between two acupuncture points and severity of postoperative pain in order to define an objective measurement of pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 50 patients und...

Previous work has shown that acupuncture stimulation evokes deactivation of a limbic-paralimbic-neocortical network (LPNN) as well as activation of somatosensory brain regions. This study explores the activity and functional connectivity of these regions during acupuncture vs. tactile stimulation and vs. acupuncture associated with inadvertent sharp pain. Acupuncture during 201 scans and tactil...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the serum matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) level and activity in patients with migraine. METHODS After baseline testing, eligible patients with migraine according to the criteria of the International Headache Society who volunteered to join the study were included (n=27). The patients received 10 sessions of acupuncture treatment. The point...
