Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2021
Statins are one of the most prescribed classes of drugs worldwide. Atorvastatin, the most prescribed statin, is currently used to treat conditions such as hypercholesterolaemia and dyslipidaemia. By reducing the level of cholesterol, which is the precurso - Effect of cocoa on blood pressure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Apr-2017
High blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, contributing to about 50% of cardiovascular events worldwide and 37% of cardiovascular-related deaths in Western populations. Epidemiological studies suggest that cocoa-rich produ - Effect of cyclosporine on blood pressure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent used for different autoimmune diseases.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Acute cardiovascular events represent a therapeutic challenge. Blood pressure lowering drugs are commonly used and recommended in the early phase of these settings. This review analyses randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence for this approach. - Effect of longer-term modest salt reduction on blood pressure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2013
A reduction in salt intake lowers blood pressure (BP) and, thereby, reduces cardiovascular risk. A recent meta-analysis by Graudal implied that salt reduction had adverse effects on hormones and lipids which might mitigate any benefit that occurs with BP - Effect of mass deworming with antihelminthics for soil‐transmitted helminths during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2021
Helminthiasis is an infestation of the human body with parasitic worms. It is estimated to affect 44 million pregnancies, globally, each year. Intestinal helminthiasis (hookworm infestation) is associated with blood loss and decreased supply of nutrients - Effect of outpatient pharmacists' non‐dispensing roles on patient outcomes and prescribing patterns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jul-2010
The roles of pharmacists in patient care have expanded from the traditional tasks of dispensing medications and providing basic medication counseling to working with other health professionals and the public. Multiple reviews have evaluated the impact of - Effect of partograph use on outcomes for women in spontaneous labour at term and their babies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2018
The partograph (sometimes known as partogram) is usually a pre-printed paper form on which labour observations are recorded. The aim of the partograph is to provide a pictorial overview of labour, and to alert midwives and obstetricians to deviations in m - Effect of periodontal treatments on blood pressure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2021
An association has been hypothesized between periodontitis and hypertension. Periodontal therapy is believed to reduce systemic inflammatory mediators and increase endothelial function, thus having the potential to prevent and treat hypertension. - Effect of restricted pacifier use in breastfeeding term infants for increasing duration of breastfeeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2016
To successfully initiate and maintain breastfeeding for a longer duration, the World Health Organization's Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding recommends total avoidance of artificial teats or pacifiers for breastfeeding infants.
