OBJECTIVE To determine the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) abnormalities and their reversibility in neonates with birth asphyxia. DESIGN Prospective case control study. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital. METHODS 30 term Neonates with 5-min Apgar < 6 and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) underwent BAER testing with follow up at 3 months. An equal number of normal term n...

In this paper we introduce the concept of generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of groups with respect to two varieties ? and ? of groups. We give some inequalities for the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups, when ? is considered to be the Schur-Baer variety. Further, we present a sufficient condition under which the order of the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of finite ...

in this paper, we give connection between the order of the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups and its factor groups, when ? is considered to be the specific variety. moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition in which the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of groups can be embedded into the generalized baer-invariant of pair of its factor groups.

We show that every semi-artinian module which is contained in a direct sum of finitely presented modules in $si[M]$, is weakly co-semisimple if and only if it is regular in $si[M]$. As a consequence, we observe that every semi-artinian ring is regular in the sense of von Neumann if and only if its simple modules are $FP$-injective.

Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...

A longstanding open problem in the theory of von Neumann regular rings is the question of whether every directly finite simple regular ring must be unit-regular. Recent work on this problem has been done by P. Menal, K.C . O'Meara, and the authors. To clarify some aspects of these new developments, we introduce and study the notion of almost isomorphism between finitely generated projective mod...
