Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2018
Intermediate hyperglycaemia (IH) is characterised by one or more measurements of elevated blood glucose concentrations, such as impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and elevated glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). These level - Developmental care for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Apr-2006
Preterm infants experience a range of morbidity related to the immaturity of their organ systems and to concurrent disease states. There is concern that an unfavourable environment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may compound this morbidity. Mo - Device‐modified trabeculectomy for glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2015
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that leads to vision loss and blindness. It is the second most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2015
A peripheral venous catheter (PVC) is typically used for short-term delivery of intravascular fluids and medications. It is an essential element of modern medicine and the most frequent invasive procedure performed in hospitals. However, PVCs often fail b - Devices and pressure sources for administration of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in preterm neonates

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is used to support preterm infants recently extubated, those experiencing significant apnoea of prematurity and those with respiratory distress soon after birth as an alternative to intubation and ventilat - Devices for preventing percutaneous exposure injuries caused by needles in healthcare personnel
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2017
Percutaneous exposure injuries from devices used for blood collection or for injections expose healthcare workers to the risk of blood borne infections such as hepatitis B and C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Safety features such as shields or r - Dexamethasone as an adjuvant to peripheral nerve block
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2017
Peripheral nerve block (infiltration of local anaesthetic around a nerve) is used for anaesthesia or analgesia. A limitation to its use for postoperative analgesia is that the analgesic effect lasts only a few hours, after which moderate to severe pain at - Dexmedetomidine for the management of awake fibreoptic intubation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2014
Awake fibreoptic intubation (AFOI) frequently requires sedation, anxiolysis and relief of discomfort without impairing ventilation and depressing cardiovascular function. The goal is to allow the patient to be responsive and co-operative. Medications such - Diacerein for osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Feb-2014
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal diseases. There is currently no consensus on what is the best treatment to improve OA symptoms and slow disease progression.
