Article Synopsis
  • Acute subdural hemorrhage (ASDH) resulting from traumatic brain injury is a serious condition that often requires surgery, and this meta-analysis aims to provide insights on the best surgical approach based on current literature.
  • The analysis reviewed 14 studies with 4,686 patients, comparing outcomes between craniotomy (CO) and decompressive craniectomy (DC), revealing that CO led to better functional outcomes while DC had a lower rate of remaining subdural hematomas.
  • The results suggest that while CO is preferable for improved patient recovery, DC may be beneficial in reducing residual hematoma cases, highlighting the complexity of treatment decisions for ASDH.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common types of neurological disorder prevailing worldwide and is rapidly increasing in the elderly population across the globe. The cause of PD is still unknown, but a number of genetic as well as environmental factors contributing to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease have been identified. The hallmark of PD includes dopamine deficiency (neurotransmitter imbalance) due to the gradual loss of dopaminergic nerves in the substantia nigra in the midbrain.

An adequate amount of Sulfur (S) is essential for proper plant growth and defence against abiotic stresses including metals and metalloids. Arsenic (As) contamination is increasing in agricultural soils rapidly due to anthropogenic activities. Sulfur deficiency and arsenic stress could be more harmful than these individual stresses alone.
