Table of Contents Title Page Table of Contents Title Page 1 Preface The first edition of Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences' book published in 2006 was aimed to introduce permanent members of this academy and its scientific structure. Considering the development of strategic planning of the Academy in 2010, modification of the statute of Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences in 2011 and also election of new permanent members, the preparation and publication of the second edition of Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences' book seemed unavoidable. The scientific and functional structures of the Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences like all other academicals centers in the world has been evaluated upon opportunities, threatens and experiences in the past years and they have been developed into strategic plan that a summary of it and new statute of the Academy are included in this book. Another important part of this book is introduction and provision of a summary on scientific background of permanent member of the Academy.

Health Policy Research Center, Shiraz INTRODUCTION University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses a major global health threat. The infected patients may present with a broad spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms, from being asymptomatic to developing flu-like symptoms or pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi- organ failure, and death. 1, 2 Gastrointestinal symptoms are also common in patients with COVID-19, and some cases may first present with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea even without other symptoms. 3, 4 Although viral transmission is primarily through small respiratory droplets and direct contact, there is also the possibility of both bioaerosol transmission and fecal contamination.4 Furthermore, there is evidence of viral shedding in asymptomatic subjects or during the long incubation period of the virus. 5 That is why all healthcare providers, staff, and even patients of the endoscopy department are at great risk of COVID-19 infection, and therefore, special precautions for disease prevention should be taken to ensure their safety. Gastroenterologists are at higher risk for COVID-19 by respiratory and fecal-oral routes. Among 480 gastroenterologists, 10.6% had confirmed COVID-19 in Iran. 6 With this background, the “Guideline on Endoscopy during COVID-19 Pandemic” in Iran was compiled and edited based on the consensus of a group of gastroenterologists on the latest knowledge and international guidelines, as well as the survey of colleagues’ opinions and experiences in this context.

  • Iran, Gulf Security, and U.S. Policy
    Iran, Gulf Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs August 14, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32048 Iran, Gulf Security, and U.S. Policy Summary Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, a priority of U.S. policy has been to reduce the perceived threat posed by Iran to a broad range of U.S. interests, including the security of the Persian Gulf region. In 2014, a common adversary emerged in the form of the Islamic State organization, reducing gaps in U.S. and Iranian regional interests, although the two countries have often differing approaches over how to try to defeat the group. The finalization on July 14, 2015, of a “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA) between Iran and six negotiating powers could enhance Iran’s ability to counter the United States and its allies in the region, but could also pave the way for cooperation to resolve some of the region’s several conflicts. During the 1980s and 1990s, U.S. officials identified Iran’s support for militant Middle East groups as a significant threat to U.S. interests and allies. A perceived potential threat from Iran’s nuclear program emerged in 2002, and the United States orchestrated broad international economic pressure on Iran to try to ensure that the program is verifiably confined to purely peaceful purposes. The international pressure contributed to the June 2013 election as president of Iran of the relatively moderate Hassan Rouhani, who campaigned as an advocate of ending Iran’s international isolation.

Brief Analysis By steadily implementing parliament’s anti-JCPOA law and making public statements about “cornered cats” and “closing windows,” Tehran has sought to give Washington a sense of urgency, but this approach could be a double- edged sword. n January 8, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei explained that Iran is not “in a hurry” for Washington to return O to the nuclear deal, and that if sanctions are not lifted beforehand, then a U.S. return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action “may even be detrimental” to the Islamic Republic. He further hardened this stance in a February 7 speech, refuting proposals for any sequencing mechanism in which both countries make incremental moves back to the JCPOA. Instead, he emphasized that after Washington agrees to remove sanctions, Iran “will check if [they] have truly been lifted,” and only then resume its nuclear commitments. President Hassan Rouhani fell in with this narrative three days later, declaring that he supports “negotiations with enemies” in the framework of the Islamic Republic’s national interests, and noting that Tehran will fulfill its commitments once the United States and other parties implement theirs. These remarks are just part of a broader regime campaign to show Washington that Iran will not arrive at the negotiating table from a position of weakness, but rather with clear unity of purpose.
