[ 1 ] - Pre-treatment with erythropoietin attenuates bilateral renal ischemia-induced cognitive impairments
One of the most common causes of mortality in acute kidney injury is brain dysfunction. Here we investigated the possible protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on cognitive impairments induced by bilateral renal ischemia (BRI). Eighty male Wistar rats were allocated into 8 groups: 1, 2) Sham+V (Vehicle), 3, 4) Sham+EPO, 5, 6) BRI+V, 7, 8) BRI+EPO. The groups followed by the reperfusion per...

[ 3 ] - Ischemic Postconditioning Attenuates Bilateral Renal Ischemia-Induced Cognitive Impairments
Background and aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of kidney failure with high mortality which leads to brain dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of ischemic postconditioning (IPo) against brain dysfunction induced by bilateral renal ischemia (BRI). Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats underwent BRI, sham or IPo surgery ...
[ 4 ] - Psychometric Evaluation of Self-Assessment Persian Version of Alzheimer’s Questionnaire (AQ)
Background: Mild Cognitive impairment (MCI) is a primary disorder intensifies by aging. Rapid diagnosis of MCI can prevent its progression towards the development of dementia. Thus, the present study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric features of the self-assessment Persian version of Alzheimer's questionnaire (AQ) in the elderly to detect MCI. Methods: First, the Alzheimer's question...
