Spirulina is the general name of filamentous, multicellular and blue-green microalgae, of which the two genera Arthrospira and spirulina are the most important foods. This algae is the most common and widely used species that has been studied and investigated in many fields, especially food and medical industries. Chemical analysis of spirulina microalgae shows that it is an excellent source of some macronutrients and micronutrients. Spirulina is rich in nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and fatty acids that are very important for health. The cell cover of spirulina is made of a thin hydrocarbon membrane that is very quickly digested by gastric juice, for this reason spirulina is completely digestible and is one of the richest food sources available. By adding spirulina, the nutritional properties of dairy products will be improved and they will have a better texture, appearance and color than before because spirulina can be used as a stabilizer and add 1 to 1.5% of spirulina powder to dairy products. Like cheese, it reduces water and moisture in it, which makes it softer and is directly related to increasing its shelf life. The dairy industry is one of the most polluted industries that contains elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen, carbon, etc., which microalgae use to completely remove pollutants such as phosphorus, nitrogen, etc., which become spirulina blue green algae. The use of nutrients in the dairy industry and the reduction of organic load are lower so that the water can be used.

Attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has several negative consequences. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation on improving executive functions (planning and problem solving) in children with ADHD and symptoms of this disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity /impulsivity).

This is a quasi- experimental study. The statistical population of this study was children with ADHD aged 7-12 years who were referred to Armaghane Psychiatric Neurology Clinic, Shiraz, Iran. Thirty individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (15 in each group). The experimental group underwent cognitive rehabilitation. All participants were assessed before and after the intervention using the Snape Scale and the Tower of London Test.

Analysis of pre- test and post- test data indicated that the experimental group had improvement in executive functions (planning and problem- solving) and attention deficit, as well as hyperactivity /impulsivity syndrome, compared to the control group.

Designing and using cognitive rehabilitation programs for children with ADHD improve executive functions and consequently the symptoms of this disorder.

Cancer is a potentially fatal and chronic disease that is diagnosed with negative emotions such as anger. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on improving the experience of anger and self-compassion in cancer patients. This was a semi-experimental study with a control group. The statistical population of this study was cancer patients referred to health centers in Tehran in 1977. Samples were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained in mindfulness. The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Multidimensional Anger Inventory (MAI) were used for data collection. Results of the statistical analysis of anger scores (P< 0.01) and self-compassion (P< 0.001) in the experimental group showed that their condition was better than the control group. Mindfulness can be used to reduce mental health problems and thus to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
