Decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been the main surgical treatment of refractory high intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) for decades. Basal cisternostomy emerged as a novel option in brain trauma, with results still unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing cisternostomy added to conventional DC versus DC alone for the treatment of TBI.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death worldwide. TB represents a serious public health threat, and it is characterized by high transmission rates, prevalence in impoverished regions, and high co-infection rates with HIV. Moreover, the serious side effects of long-term treatment that decrease patient adherence, and the emergence of multi-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causing agent of TBs, pose several challenges for its eradication.

Dammed rivers lose its natural characteristics of the flow cycle and becomes controlled by the energy demands of the hydroelectric plants. With the connection of the energy-producing plants to a central station in Brazil the situation is aggravated since demands in different regions of the country affect the water flow. Using downstream flow data from the Tucuruí dam over a 50-year period, we tested whether the variation in water flow has changed.
