Esophageal tuberculosis complicated with intestinal tuberculosis: A case report.

Background: Although the overall incidence of tuberculosis in underdeveloped areas has increased in recent years, esophageal tuberculosis (ET) is still rare. Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) is relatively more common, but there are few reports of ET complicated with ITB. We report a case of secondary ET complicated with ITB in a previously healthy patient.

Systematic review of decreased intracranial pressure with optimal head elevation in postcraniotomy patients: a meta-analysis.

Aim: To determine an optimal head elevation degree to decrease intracranial pressure in postcraniotomy patients by meta-analysis.

Background: A change in head position can lead to a change in intracranial pressure; however, there are conflicting data regarding the optimal degree of elevation that decreases intracranial pressure in postcraniotomy patients.

Design: Quantitative systematic review with meta-analysis following Cochrane methods.
