Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is hypersensitivity to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus that complicates patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. The mainstay of treatment for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis remains oral corticosteroids, - Back Schools for chronic non-specific low back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2017
Many people with low back pain (LBP) become frequent users of healthcare services in their attempt to find treatments that minimise the severity of their symptoms. Back School consists of a therapeutic programme given to groups of people that includes bot - Back schools for non-specific low-back pain.
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2011
Since the introduction of the Swedish back school in 1969, back schools have frequently been used for treating patients with low-back pain (LBP). However, the content of back schools has changed and appears to vary widely today. - Balance training (proprioceptive training) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2010
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may have an increased risk of falls due to impairments in lower-extremity joints, which may result in either mobility, or postural stability problems. There is evidence in the literature suggesting that balance, agility - Balneotherapy for osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jun-2008
Balneotherapy (or spa therapy, mineral baths) for patients with arthritis is one of the oldest forms of therapy. One of the aims of balneotherapy is to soothe the pain and as a consequence to relieve patients' suffering and make them feel well. In this up - Banding ligation versus beta-blockers for primary prevention in oesophageal varices in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jul-2012
Non-selective beta-blockers are used as a first-line treatment for primary prevention in patients with medium- to high-risk oesophageal varices. The effect of non-selective beta-blockers on mortality is debated and many patients experience adverse events. - Base administration or fluid bolus for preventing morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with metabolic acidosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2010
Metabolic acidosis in the early newborn period is associated with adverse outcomes in preterm infants. The most commonly used strategies to correct metabolic acidosis are intravascular infusion of base, for example sodium bicarbonate, and intravascular in - Beclometasone for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2013
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic obstructive lung condition, diagnosed in patients with dyspnoea, chronic cough or sputum production and/or a history of risk factor exposure, if their postbronchodilator forced expiratory lung volu - Beclomethasone versus budesonide for chronic asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2014
Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and budesonide (BUD) are used widely in the treatment of chronic asthma. The two drugs have different in vitro pharmacokinetic characteristics. It is unclear whether this translates into clinically significant differences - Beclomethasone versus placebo for chronic asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2008
Inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) has been, together with inhaled budesonide, the mainstay of anti-inflammatory therapy for asthma for many years. A range of new prophylactic therapies for asthma is becoming available and BDP has been reformulated - Bed rest during pregnancy for preventing miscarriage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2010
Miscarriage is pregnancy loss before 23 weeks of gestational age. It happens in 10% to 15% of pregnancies depending on maternal age and parity. It is associated with chromosomal defects in about a half or two-thirds of cases. Many interventions have been - Bed rest for acute uncomplicated myocardial infarction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2012
Bed rest is prescribed to all patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but to a variable extent.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2016
Pressure ulcers, which are localised injury to the skin or underlying tissue, or both, occur when people are unable to reposition themselves to relieve pressure on bony prominences.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Apr-2017
Strict or partial bed rest in hospital or at home is commonly recommended for women with multiple pregnancy to improve pregnancy outcomes. In order to advise women to rest in bed for any length of time, a policy for clinical practice needs to be supported - Bed rest with or without hospitalisation for hypertension during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2010
Bed rest or restriction of activity, with or without hospitalisation, have been advocated for women with hypertension during pregnancy to improve pregnancy outcome. However, benefits need to be demonstrated before such interventions can be recommended sin - Behavioral interventions for improving condom use for dual protection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Oct-2013
Unprotected sex is a major risk factor for disease, disability, and mortality in many areas of the world due to the prevalence and incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV.
