Numerous studies have considered the prefrontal cortex of the brain’s two hemispheres to be responsible for this behavior. However, few studies have addressed the question of to what degree a change in this brain unit can affect response inhibition and reaction time in the face of emotional stimuli. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate emotional behavior in patients with frontal lobe gliomas.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: In this research, the Integrated Visual and Auditory (IVA) test and affective Go/No-Go task in the areas of happiness and anger, focusing on response accuracy and reaction time were performed for sixteen patients with frontal lobe lesions and twenty healthy individuals. These tests were repeated three months after surgery.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The results revealed that following surgery, an improvement in the patients’ reaction times and response accuracy to both emotional stimuli especially against the stimulus of anger exist. The IVA results showed the significant improvement in neurocognitive condition of all patients following surgery.</p> <p>&nbsp;<strong>Conclusion:</strong> The findings of this research revealed that toward improving the emotional conditions, lesion resection surgery could significantly help these patients regain their normal cognitive function. However, still, a difference was between patients and healthy individuals.</p> Zahra Farshidfar Mohamad-ali Oghabian Mehdi Tehrani-Doost Seyed AmirHossein Javadi Copyright (c) 2023 Archives of Advances in Biosciences 2023-05-29 2023-05-29 14 1 1 5 10.22037/aab.v14i1.40381 https://journals.sbmu.ac.ir/aab/article/view/41137 <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) is the third most common cancer in cats. Diagnosis of mammary gland tumors (MGTs) increases every year; this might be due to the rise in occurrence or improvements in methods of detecting MGTs. Determinants associated withtheir occurrence are studied in the present paper.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>In this case-series study, 40 queens with FMC were referred to the determined major veterinary hospitals of Tehran for treatment between 2020 and 2022; their mammary carcinoma had been confirmed by the attended pathologist. Different parameters including age of cancer diagnosis, breed, reproductive status, BCS, diet type, parity, tumor size, multiple tumors, ER and PR status, location and type of treatment were recorded on the day of presentation using a checklist.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Domestic short hairs were overrepresented. Also, queens with old age (more than 9 years old), homemade diet, sexually intact status, no parity, obesity, ER and PR positivity had higher frequency towards developing FMC. Imbalanced homemade diet energy is a speculated cause.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Humans and their companion animals share the same environment, thus being exposed to the same environmental risks. Although canine mammary tumors have been the focus of human breast cancer (HBC) modeling, this study also aimed to compare current feline mammary carcinoma determinants with previously defined human breast cancer determinants to produce a model. Based on the results of this study, we concluded that FMCs are a proper model to study HBC.</p> Kiavash Hushmandi Saied Bokaie Darioush Shirani Ali Taghipour Copyright (c) 2023 Archives of Advances in Biosciences 2023-03-29 2023-03-29 14 1 1 6 10.22037/aab.v14i1.41137 https://journals.sbmu.ac.ir/aab/article/view/39857 <p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Accurate and timely diagnosis of mild cognitive disorders is essential to prevent their progression to dementia. This study aimed to determine the relationship among the serum levels of lipid markers of cognitive disorders in older adults in Birjand.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>The community-based cohort study was performed on 1400 older adults population (60 years and older) living in urban and rural areas of Birjand, among whom 242 older adults were selected by multi-stage random sampling; the Mini-Mental State Examination Cognitive Disorders Questionnaire was completed, and five cc of blood samples were taken to assess Triglyceride, Cholesterol, Low density lipoprotein, High-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein a, Apo lipoprotein A, and Apo lipoprotein B.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean age of participants was 70.6± 6.96 years. 55.4% were women. The level of MMSE was significantly different based on the demographic information. Mean serum levels of Lipid profile, Apo B/ Apo A Ratio, and LP a, were not significantly different from MMSE.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study showed a significant relationship between demographic information and MMSE level, so it can be used to improve the cognitive level of older adults by changing their life situation, marital status, and education. However, the parameters of Lipid profile, Apo B/ Apo A Ratio, and LP a are not used to diagnose cognitive disorders in older adults.</p> Sara Hamdamian Asghar Zarban Mitra Moodi Farshad Sharifi rasoul raesi Mohammad Dehghani Firoozabadi Copyright (c) 2023 Archives of Advances in Biosciences 2023-03-16 2023-03-16 14 1 1 8 10.22037/aab.v14i1.39857
