Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2013
Rebleeding is an important cause of death and disability in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). In order to prevent rebleeding, the preferred strategy is aneurysm ablation (removal) as early as possible. However, in clinical practice - Early versus late administration of amino acids in preterm infants receiving parenteral nutrition
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2013
Observational studies in preterm newborns suggest that delay in administering amino acids could result in a protein catabolic state and could impact on growth and development. - Early versus late chest radiotherapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Oct-2014
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a chronic, not malignant, disease of the hematopoietic stem cells, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1.3 new cases per one million individu - Edaravone for acute intracerebral haemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jan-2011
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) causes significant morbidity and mortality. Prognosis for ICH patients is poor. Edaravone may be safe and effective in reducing the risk of early death and improving long-term functional outcomes in survivors. - Edaravone for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2011
Neuroprotection is a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. Edaravone is a neuroprotective agent that has been widely used in China, and several studies have suggested that it may be beneficial in acute ischaemic strok - Education interventions for adults who attend the emergency room for acute asthma

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2016
The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced the morbidity and mortality due to HIV infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) ART guidelines focus on three classes of antiretroviral drugs, namely nucleoside or nucleotide rever - Effect of antihypertensive drugs on mortality, morbidity and blood pressure in blacks
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
