This study has aimed to measure the effect of electronic tests on the academic achievements of middle school students in Arabic course. The sample has been divided into two groups; the experimental group and the non-experimental group after using the mixed experimental method. Statistical measurements had been used before, and after, the experiment for both groups; whereas, study tools were consisted of achievements test and focus group. The results have assured the existence of statistical differences between the experimental group and non-experimental group in the (language classification) category marks. The results have shown no statistical differences on the audio comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, handwriting skills, language style, grammatical function and writing expression categories marks, which give preferences to use the electronic test rather than the traditional (pen and paper) test. The study has concluded that teachers must be encouraged to perform continuous evaluation throughout the academic semester by applying electronic tests. They must emphasize on the importance of grounding rules and regulations to apply electronic tests in the educational institutions.

The approach to manage breast cancer has undergone a significant transformation, leading to longer survival rates. However, there is still a rise in metastasis occurring in less common locations such as the orbit. We report the case of a 40-year-old female diagnosed with luminal A, left-side breast cancer, back in September 2020. She presented with de novo metastatic diseases to the liver, bone, lung, and orbit. She received palliative radiation therapy (RT) to the orbit at the dose of 25 Gray (Gy) in five fractions, and follow-up brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a positive response to treatment with a slight reduction in the size of the left infraorbital lesion. Systemic treatment was started with hormonal therapy fulvestrant and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), leuprolide, accompanied by palbociclib. As the incidence of ocular metastasis from breast cancer increases, oncologists need to be vigilant about symptoms and use appropriate diagnostic techniques., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
