“…This is a common neurocognitive task to assess executive function, particularly cognitive flexibility. This study used a computerized form of WCST from the Sina Research Institute of Cognitive Science (Khodadadi and Mashhadi, 2015). For this test, candidates are presented with four main cards: a yellow cross, a blue circle, a red triangle, and a green star.…”

Background: Due to the inflammatory factors in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, Pentoxifylline, as anti-inflammatory medication, seems to improve the symptoms of schizophrenia. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Pentoxifylline as an adjunctive therapy on cognitive deficits and symptoms of schizophrenia. Methods: This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 52 patients diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia. All patients were divided into two, treatment and control groups. They received a 400 mg dose of Pentoxifylline and the placebo in the treatment and control groups, respectively, twice a day for 8 weeks. Then, they were tested with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), digit span, Stroop test, and Rey Auditory and Verbal Learning Test at baseline and the end of the weeks 4 and 8. Data analysis was done by Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, t-test, Mann–Whitney test, chi-square test, and generalized estimating equation model. Results: After analyzing the data, it was revealed that the positive symptoms of PANSS, the number of errors in the incongruent Stroop test, and reaction time in the congruent Stroop test were significantly lower in the treatment group ( p < 0.05). Moreover, the number of categories of WCST was significantly higher in the treatment group ( p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in other parameters between the control and treatment groups ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: As evidenced by the results of this study, Pentoxifylline can help alleviate schizophrenia cognitive deficits and can reduce psychotic symptoms. Therefore, it can potentially be useful for schizophrenia treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the comparative effectiveness of enhanced cognitive‐behavioral couple therapy (ECBCT) on emotional self‐regulation and couple burnout in incompatible couples. The study hypothesizes that ECBCT is efficacious in emotional self‐regulation and marital burnout of incompatible Iranian couples (self‐assigned and court‐referred) visiting counseling centers. Twenty‐eight Iranian couples were divided into four groups (two self‐assigned and court‐referred experimental groups and two self‐assigned and court‐referred control groups) who were selected using the available sampling. The experimental groups were subjected to ECBCT, while the control groups received no therapy. Over time, there was an improvement in emotional self‐regulation and marital burnout in experimental groups compared with control groups. This intervention was more efficacious for the self‐assigned couples of the experimental group according to the Eta coefficient, which was 71 for emotional self‐regulation and 66 for marital burnout. ECBCT helps couples improve their emotional self‐regulation and couple burnout.
