- Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in rectal cancer operated for cure.
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the Western world. Apart from surgery - which remains the mainstay of treatment for resectable primary tumours - postoperative (i.e., adjuvant) chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based re - Postoperative epidural analgesia versus systemic analgesia for thoraco-lumbar spine surgery in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2019
Spine surgery may be associated with severe acute postoperative pain. Compared with systemic analgesia alone, epidural analgesia may offer better pain control. However, epidural analgesia has sometimes been associated with rare but serious complications. - Postoperative procedures for improving fertility following pelvic reproductive surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2009
Hydrotubation with oil-soluble contrast media for unexplained infertility and adhesiolysis for infertility due to peritubal adhesions are primary procedures that are of recognised benefit. It is less clear whether postoperative procedures such as hydrotub - Post-operative radiotherapy for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2013
The addition of radiotherapy (RT) following breast conserving surgery (BCS) was first shown to reduce the risk of ipsilateral recurrence in the treatment of invasive breast cancer. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive lesion. Recurrence of ip - Postoperative radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2016
The role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in the treatment of patients with completely resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was not clear. A systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate available ev - Postoperative tamoxifen for ductal carcinoma in situ
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Aug-2012
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive carcinoma of the breast. The incidence of DCIS has increased substantially over the last twenty years, largely as a result of the introduction of population-based mammographic screening. The treatment of D - Post-operative therapy for metacarpophalangeal arthroplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2008
Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroplasty with implants, which is the replacement of painful knuckle joints with artificial knuckle joints, has been performed for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) since the 1960s. The surgery is done because RA can cause - Postpartum misoprostol for preventing maternal mortality and morbidity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jul-2013
The primary objective of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) prevention and treatment is to reduce maternal deaths. Misoprostol has the major public health advantage over injectable medication that it can more easily be distributed at community level. Because mi - Post-pyloric versus gastric tube feeding for preventing pneumonia and improving nutritional outcomes in critically ill adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2018
Nutritional support is an essential component of critical care. Malnutrition has been associated with poor outcomes among patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Evidence suggests that in patients with a functional gut, nutrition should be administered t - Post-surgical chemotherapy versus surgery alone for resectable gastric cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2013
For gastric cancer surgery is the mainstay treatment. Chemotherapy seems to improve the survival results. But chemotherapy is not a complication-free therapy and its role has been questioned by some trials. - Posture and fluids for preventing post-dural puncture headache
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Aug-2019
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of lumbar punctures. Several theories have identified the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the hole in the dura as a cause of this side effect. It is therefore necessary to take prev - Posture and fluids for preventing post-dural puncture headache
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2013
Potentially disabling postural headache occurs after dural puncture in 1-70% of patients. It has been suggested that such headaches may be less common if patients routinely have a period of bed rest or receive supplementary fluids after the procedure. - Potassium containing toothpastes for dentine hypersensitivity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Mar-2012
Dentine hypersensitivity may be defined as the pain arising from exposed dentine, typically in response to external stimuli, and which cannot be explained by any other form of dental disease. Many treatment regimens have been recommended over the years, a - Potassium supplementation for the management of primary hypertension in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
Epidemiological evidence on the effects of potassium on blood pressure is inconsistent. - Potentiators (specific therapies for class III and IV mutations) for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Dec-2018
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the commonest inherited life-shortening illness in white populations, caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein (CFTR), which functions as a salt transporter. This mutation - Powered versus manual toothbrushing for oral health
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2014
Removing dental plaque may play a key role maintaining oral health. There is conflicting evidence for the relative merits of manual and powered toothbrushing in achieving this. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003, and previously - Pramipexole for levodopa-induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
The long-term use of levodopa in Parkinson's disease is associated with the development of motor complications including abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesia) and a shortening response to each dose (wearing off phenomenon). It is thought that dopami - Pramipexole versus bromocriptine for levodopa-induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
Long-term levodopa therapy in Parkinson's disease is associated with the development of motor complications including abnormal involuntary movements and a shortening response to each dose (wearing off phenomenon). It is thought that dopamine agonists can - Prazosin for Raynaud's phenomenon in progressive systemic sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2008
Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease causing fibrosis and commonly affects the skin and internal organs such as the GI tract, lungs, kidney and heart. Most people with scleroderma also have raynaud's phenomenon (RP). One of the possible treatment op - Pre and peri-operative erythropoeitin for reducing allogeneic blood transfusions in colorectal cancer surgery.
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2008
Patients with colorectal cancer are frequently anaemic and many receive allogeneic red blood cell transfusions peri and post-operatively. Transfusions are accompanied by complications and may increase the rate of recurrence in patients who have a colorect
