More precisely, banks operates in a strategic Information System environment, where the alignment between IT and business should be significantly focused on organizational performance. However, this study suggests that technological innovation, strategic alignment, human resources are not an isolated source of improvement, but part of a system which mutually-reinforcing organizational performances. This research followed quantitative approach and survey questionnaire, so therefore, all 46 Bangladeshi bank (excluding foreign banks) were approached, a total number of 40 observations were usable and giving the study repose rate of 87%, which utilized for subsequent analysis. For this research, different type of analysis has been done, such as Factor analysis, Multiple-regression, t-test, ANOVA, where finding of the study is, technological innovation, strategic alignment and qualified human resources on organizational performance was identified to have a significant impact on organizational performances.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational innovation in Payame Noor University of Tehran. In order to collect transformational leadership data Bass and Avolio questionnaire was used and to collect organizational innovation data a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The reliability of researcher-made questionnaire was calculated to be 0.90% and 86% respectively by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation test and stepwise regression were used. The results of Pearson correlation test indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between transformational leadership and all its dimensions with organizational innovation. The results of structural equation modeling have been collected based on 231 questionnaires and indicate a relationship between transformational leadership and Organizational Innovation. Finally, the results of the research will be discussed and some recommendations will be made to improve the innovation capability of society organizations.

Addiction to drugs, change of thoughts, excitement and behavior is one of the most significant psychosocial damage that can easily destroy the basis of individual, family and social life of an individual. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive intervention Behavioral, psychological well-being and self-retention of addicts in drug addiction camps. The results of this study show that cognitive-behavioral intervention is effective on the quality of life in addicts in drug addiction treatment centers, cognitive-behavioral intervention, on psychological well-being, in drug addicts in centers for addiction abandonment camps. Cognitive-behavioral intervention is effective on life expectancy in drug addicts in drug addiction camps. In the recommendations of this research, one of the important variables is the way of teaching to addicts. It seems that the personality traits of the educator, and how he communicates with addicts, is effective on psychological well-being and the life expectancy of addicts. Therefore, it is suggested that this variable should be included in future research, and its relationship with social adaptation and more skills should be measured.

Repeated attempts at surgical repair of serious complications involving either the partial or complete breakdown of the hypospadias repair are less likely to succeed because the penisis densely scarred, or significantly shortened, and the skin over the penisis immobile and hypovascular. Buccal mucosa (BM) has become the preferred material for reconstruction, whenever a child with skin-deficient hypospadias needs reoperation. We report the results of our surgical experience with staged reoperation using BM, in the repair of hypospadias a patient of 22 years with complications after multiple failed repairs.

Buccal mucosa has been used in both primary and salvage urethroplasties, as dorsal onlay. Ventral onlay, and as tubed grafts in posterior and anterior urethral strictures. It’s recommended as ideal graft material which offers many advantages: availability, easy and less infectious complications. Repeat urethroplasties were performed by excising the fibrous tissue around the stricture; buccal mucosa was then harvested from the inner cheek, made into graft tubing, and interposed into the defect. We report the results of our surgical experience with staged reoperation using BM, in the repair of post-traumatic membranous urethra stricture with loss of substance estimated to 5cm a patient of 22 years with complications after multiple failed repairs.

Sarcomatoid renal carcinoma is a rare and agressive variant of the cancer of the kidney. These tumors are indifferencied and originates from all renal cell carcinomas. The diagnosis is exclusively histologic and therapeutic modalities are limited to radical nephrectomy. We report a new case and will discuss diagnosis, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of this rare and agressive entity

The Ovarian Vein Syndrome was first reported in 1964, corresponds to ureteral compression by a dilated ovarian vein. The true pathophysiological entity remains controversial and discussed. It appears to be multifactorial anatomical and hormonal. The diagnosis is essentially radiological (intravenous urography). The Treatment is Urological (drainage by stent) and / or vascular (embolization, resection-ligature by conventional surgery or Coelioscopic). The prognosis of ovarian vein syndrome is generally favorable, without impairment of renal function. Through A new observation, the authors propose to study the pathogenic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of the syndrome of the vein Ovarian. Using Embase and Medline, a literature search was undertaken, English and frensh articles on the ovarian vein syndrome were appraised.

Chronic prostatitis is a disease with an unknown etiology that affects a large number of men. The optimal management for category III chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is not codified. Standard treatment usually consists of prolonged courses of antibiotics, even though well-designed clinical trials have failed to demonstrate their efficacy.A review of the literature failed to identify any recognized and validated treatments for CP/CPPS. However, the current approach is multimodal including: antibiotics, alpha-blockers, phytotherapy, acupuncture, physiotherapy and minimally invasive surgery. These therapies can be successful for the majority of patients who present with this difficult condition.

The extrinsic compression by the gravid uterus is the most common cause of hydronephrosis in pregnancy. This is often tolerated seen its regressive nature after childbirth. However, this physiological factor could unmask a preexisting urinary deasise.We report, the clinical case of a patient aged 35, pregnant at 9 weeks, who was admitted to the emergency of renal colic.She had medical treatment without improvement. The evolution was marked by the clinical and biological improvement. After delivery, she had a CT scan that showed no abnormality, we also report a literature review on problems of diagnosis and management of urolithiasis in pregnancy.
