Background: About 70-90% of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have olfactory deficits which is considered as pre-motor symptom of PD. Lewy bodies have been demonstrated in the olfactory bulb (OB) in PD.

Objective: To assess the OB volume (OBV), olfactory sulcus depth (OSD) in PD and compare with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and vascular parkinsonism (VP) patients and determine the cut-off volume of OB that will aid in the diagnosis of PD.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted India, making it the second most-affected country, but its death rate is lower than that of the US and Brazil given its economic status.
  • A study conducted at a major neurosurgical center in southern India during the pandemic showed a 57% decrease in non-trauma neurosurgical cases compared to the same period in 2019, while managing 9 infected cases through careful planning and testing protocols.
  • The research outlines a management strategy for handling non-COVID-19 neurosurgical patients in a high-volume setting, which includes segregating hospital areas based on infection risk and implementing testing measures to ensure patient safety.
