    Abstract Fibroblasts are the most frequent cells of the connective tissues. Having the ability to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli in addition to the biochemical ones makes them crucial for such a composite-like and tension-preserving tissue. Over the last decade, the investigation of the role of these cells in tumor progression was a hot topic of research in tumor biology. Literatures almost unanimously describe the re-education of stromal fibroblasts by tumor cells in favor of tumor progression, which resulted in the birth of a new nomenclature, the cancer-associated fibroblasts. On the other hand, some studies reported anti-tumor roles for these cells. Herein, author suggests that the previously described pro-migratory and pro-contractile contexts, which respectively results in divergent and convergent distribution of fibroblasts by changing Rho-Rac1 balance, could be applied for cancer-associated fibroblasts as well. Based on this proposed concept, stromal fibroblasts could represent different roles, either pro-tumor or anti-tumor, during the course of tumor progression. In the earlier phases, they tend to assemble along tumor-stroma interface in the form of tumor capsules in order to resist tumor growth and to maintain tensional homeostasis in stroma. But in later phases, after being chronically subjected to tumor-induced chemical and mechanical stimuli, they will gradually lose their substantial abilities to oppose tumor expansion and, in contrary, will promote tumorigenesis. In summary, this paper redefines tumor capsule from chemical and mechanical standpoints as Rho-dependent clustering of cancer-associated fibroblasts in favor of tensional homeostasis. Furthermore, it proposes that stromal fibroblasts will undergo some irreversible epigenetic changes in Rac1- and Rho-related proteins through tumor-stroma crosstalk, which irreversibly diminish their ability of capsule formation. Finally, the author discusses the possible researches helping us to assess the proposed concept and its clinical implications.

    Abstract Accessory nerve schwannoma is a rare entity in patients presenting with cranial nerve (CN) deficits. Most of these tumours arise from the cisternal segment of the eleventh CN and extend caudally. Herein, we report the third case of an accessory schwannoma extending cranially into the fourth ventricle. A 61-year-old female presented with a history of variable headaches. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) revealed a large inhomogeneous contrast-enhancing lesion at the craniocervical junction extending through the foramen of Magendi and concomitant hydrocephalus due to obstruction of the foramina of Luschkae. Microsurgical tumour resection was performed in the half-sitting position. Intraoperatively, the tumour arose from a vestigial fascicle of the spinal accessory nerve. At three month follow-up, neither radiological tumour recurrence nor neurological deficits were observed.

    Abstract A 17-year-old healthy girl underwent an uneventful esthetic septorhinoplasty. She was easily extubated and transferred to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) with oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 96%. About 30 minutes after arrival in the PACU, she developed dyspnea with SpO2 of 84% and promptly received oxygen with bilevel positive airway pressure in conjunction with low-dose corticosteroid. The subsequent chest computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral patchy infiltrates similar to the radiologic findings of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Finally, a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of a pharyngeal specimen confirmed the diagnosis of COVID-19.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is challenging the health care systems around the world and compelling them to timely share their strategies, tactics and experiences. Since mid-January, a huge volume of instructions has been released by Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) covering diverse aspects of disease control and prevention. In this study, we aimed to review the instructions published either before or after COVID-19's transmission to Iran to depict the clinical approach and therapeutics used in Iran to battle the current pandemic. We retrospectively gathered and critically reviewed all official situation reports, guidelines, guidance, flowcharts, protocols, recommendations and advice released by Iranian scientific, or administrative arms of action against COVID-19. The ongoing clinical trials approved by MOHME and registered to the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) have been reviewed as well. Our study resulted in the following mainstays of Iran's approach to COVID-19: (i) active clinical screening; preferably on-line or on-phone, (ii) management of limited paraclinical resources; by using them as diagnostic tools rather than epidemiological, (iii) a trend toward outpatient care of mild-to-moderate cases; either confirmed or suspicious, with active scheduled follow-up, and (iv) avoidance of pharmacotherapy, as far as possible. The therapeutic and administrative instructions are still being actively updated with some recommendations different from the previous ones. Nevertheless, a common approach in the background could be detected, It seems that the instructions are conceptually in line with the first "National Guideline for 2019-nCoV" published on 20 January 2020. The screening has mainly been clinically oriented rather than being based on laboratory tests and MOHME seems to be following the approach of "early detection of symptomatic cases followed by early source control."
