- - Individuals caring for those with neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disorders in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan face significant psychosocial stress, especially amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic due to high care demands and lack of support.

Background: Stroke is a much-feared complication of cardiac surgery, but existing literature on preventive strategies is fragmented. Hence, a systematic review and meta-analysis of stroke prevention strategies for cardiac surgery was conducted.
Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating perioperative interventions for cardiac surgery, with stroke as an outcome.
Background And Purpose: Thoracic surgeons are now adopting a new method of using a mesh covering to reduce recurrence in surgical pleurodesis for pneumothorax. We aimed to review the literature and compare the outcomes of using mesh covering as an additional procedure during surgical pleurodesis.
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed from inception to October 2022 on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus.
