original article   introduction: functional disability refers to conditions in which a person is not able to fulfill the daily chores and activities on his/her own or requires assistive devices to perform them. the objective of this study was to investigate the functional disability of the elderly in kerman, southeastern iran and its relationship with handgrip strength. method: this cross-secti...

conclusion significant functional performance deficits were observed in the fai group in all tests except single hop test with greater deficits observed in the fai-gw group. hence, these tests can be used to determine the presence of fai. however no deficits were identified for the test involving sagittal plane functional activities suggesting that this test can not be used as a criterion to di...

It is well known that a microperiodic function mapping a topological group into reals, which is continuous at some point is constant. We introduce the notion of a microperiodic multifunction, defined on a topological group with values in a metric space, and study regularity conditions implying an analogous result. We deal with Vietoris and Hausdorff continuity concepts.Stability of microperiodi...

Childhood constipation is ofton a long_term problem requiring treatment over months or years. There is no single treatment metod for constipation and many children do not respond and continue to have chronic problems. Treatment is consisted of: Disimpaction,Drug adminstration , Diet modilation, and behaverial therapy. It is necessary in all cases that not responding to conventional therapy, un ...

In this paper, we solve the quadratic $alpha$-functional equations $2f(x) + 2f(y) = f(x + y) + alpha^{-2}f(alpha(x-y)); (0.1)$ where $alpha$ is a fixed non-Archimedean number with $alpha^{-2}neq 3$. Using the fixed point method and the direct method, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic $alpha$-functional equation (0.1) in non-Archimedean Banach spaces.

aim and background: it has since long been known that there is strong relation between   psychological status and functional gastrointestinal disorders (fgid). however, until recently, the nature of this putative relationship was unclear due to a lack of non-invasive methods to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying this relationship.  functional brain imaging has provided a meth...
