Mind Mapping is a powerful tool for assisting any form of writing. Language is an
important device and a very beneficial means for human being to communicate with other
people .Writing is one of the language skills that will never be left in education.
The study aims at investigating the Impact of applying mind mapping technique as a prewriting
tool on Iraqi EFL college students in essay writing. To do so, 60 EFL college students
were divided randomly selected and divided into two groups experimental and control. Prior
to treatment, participants of the both groups were given a pretest in order to ensure
comparability of their essay writing. Having introduced the mind mapping technique to
members of the experimental group and finished the treatment period, a posttest was
administered to measure the effect of the intervention for both groups.
In order to compare the experimental and control groups, the t- test for two independent
samples is used. The result reveals that the mean score of the experimental group is 14.46 and
that of the control group is 8.80. The computed t- value 8.494 is higher than the table t- value
(2) at 0.05 level of significance and under 58 degrees of freedom.
The comparison between the pre and post test scores reveals a significant difference in
writing essay between the college students who were taught by using mind mapping strategy
and those who were not. These experimental students could improve their essay writing
significantly better.

Case Report:A case of a twenty eight year old girl patient with giant bilateral Achilles tendon xanthomas in which both tumors were resected.
There was no ulceration on the both sides. The patient was treated by total resection of the lesion and reconstruction using tendon transfer of the Peroneus brevis and Flexor hallusis longus. Postoperative treatment consisted of six weeks lower leg cast immobilization followed by partial weight bearing. After 4 months the patient was able to walk pain free without any difficultie

Because of the complexity and variability of these aneurysms, a customized surgical technique is often needed for each case. In this article, we present a modified clip reconstruction technique of a ruptured complex giant partially thrombosed middle cerebral artery aneurysm.
Case description: The aneurysm was exposed using the pterional approach. Following proximal control, the aneurysm sac was decompressed. Then, we applied permanent clips to reconstruct the aneurysm neck. The configuration of the aneurysm mandated a tailored clipping pattern to account for resi
