    Abstract Introduction: Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) as a neuroendocrine tumor that arises from the parafollicular C-cells and shows a potentially aggressive behavior with early lymph node metastasis. MTC cells do not absorb radioactive iodine and are not sensitive to Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) suppression, and therefore surgery is the most effective option for curative therapy.
    Results: Medical imaging and biomarkers (calcitonin & CEA) assessment are necessary to determine the appropriate approach to lymph nodes surgery in MTC. Prophylactic central, lateral or contralateral neck dissections are recommended based on calcitonin level and volume of tumor. In general, guidelines are in agreement with prophylactic central dissection in most cases. Central and lateral dissections are recommended in all guidelines and review articles if lymphadenopathy is confirmed in preoperative examinations. Because lymph node dissection in most cases of locally advanced or metastatic MTC has no prognostic effect, dissection is done with palliative goal with maximum attention to maintaining function in these cases. In patients with an incomplete lymph node dissection, decision for reoperation can be based on calcitonin levels and the number of metastatic lymph nodes removed in previous surgery. Symptoms as well as speed of disease progression are also important in adopting the type of surgery. Consensus is in favor of reoperation in patients with recurrent regional MTC without distant metastasis.
    Conclusion: Thyroidectomy is mandatory in patients with MTC but the type and extension of lymph node dissection are depending on the calcitonin level and tumor burden.

    Abstract With the onset of the COVID-19 crisis in late 2019, the health care systems of different countries are experiencing stressful conditions. Many patients need care in hospital wards and intensive care units (ICU). Head & neck cancers (HNC) are in a special condition in this pandemic. The main treatment in these patients is surgery. Most of these patients need care in the ICU, which is reduced in capacity in pandemic conditions. It's important to note that delays in the surgery of these patients make them non-operable and on the other hand increase mortality and morbidity. Numerous non-surgical alternative therapies have been proposed in these conditions, but there are fundamental questions about these suggestions. 1 How long should we look for alternative therapies? Because many countries are facing a second wave of the disease. 2 What's the effect of these alternative therapies and the delay in starting standard treatments in patients' survival? Different countries have different financial resources; many countries, patients face restrictions on receiving alternative therapies to standard treatments, and in non-pandemic conditions, long queues are given for non-surgical treatments such as chemo-radiotherapy. There are numerous guidelines to guide head and neck surgeons to the best choice in this situation. It seems that different countries have to make individual decisions based on the prevalence of COVID-19 and the financial resources and facilities of the health care system. In this review article, we have collected the opinions of world-renowned guidelines and institutions on how to treat HNCs during the pandemic.

    Abstract Dexamethasone (DXM) is a broadly used drug, which is frequently identified in the water environments due to its improper disposal and incomplete removal in wastewater treatment plant. The inability of conventional treatment processes of wastewater causes that researchers pay a great attention to study and develop effective wastewater treatment systems. This work deals with the study of integrated electro-peroxone/granular activated carbon (EP/US/GAC) process in the degradation of dexamethasone (DXM) from a water environment and the remediation of real pharmaceutical wastewater. Two approaches of response surface methodology based on central composite design (RSM-CCD) and artificial neural network based on algorithm genetic (ANN-GA) were employed for modeling and optimization of the process. Both the models presented significant adequacy for modeling and prediction of the process according to statistical linear and nonlinear metrics (R
