One strategy for linking patients with - Catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors for levodopa-induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
As Parkinson's disease progresses the control of motor symptoms often requires the addition of other drugs to levodopa. The principle aim of COMT inhibitor therapy is to increase the duration of effect of each levodopa dose and thus reduce the time patien - Catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors versus active comparators for levodopa-induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
As Parkinson's disease progresses the control of the symptoms often requires the addition of other drugs to levodopa.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Mar-2012
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia seen in cardiovascular departments. Treatments include medical interventions and catheter ablation. Due to uncertainties in medical therapies for AF, and the need to continue sinus rhythm, abl - Catheter impregnation, coating or bonding for reducing central venous catheter-related infections in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Dec-2018
The central venous catheter (CVC) is essential in managing acutely ill patients in hospitals. Bloodstream infection is a major complication in patients with a CVC. Several infection control measures have been developed to reduce bloodstream infections, on - Catheter policies for management of long term voiding problems in adults with neurogenic bladder disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2013
Management of the neurogenic bladder has the primary objectives of maintaining continence, ensuring low bladder pressure (to avoid renal damage) and avoiding or minimising infection. Options include intermittent urethral catheterisation, indwelling urethr - Celecoxib for osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2017
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is caused by degeneration of the joint cartilage and growth of new bone, cartilage and connective tissue. It is often associated with major disability and impaired quality of life. There is curr - Celecoxib for rheumatoid arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2017
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic auto-immune disorder, involving persistent joint inflammation. NSAIDs are used to control the symptoms of RA, but are associated with significant gastro-intestinal toxicity, including a risk of potentially life thre - Cell salvage in emergency trauma surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jan-2015
Trauma is the leading cause of death in people under the age of 45 years. Over the past 20 years, intraoperative autologous transfusions (obtained by cell salvage, also known as intraoperative blood salvage (IBS)) have been used as an alternative to blood - Cellulose, modified cellulose and synthetic membranes in the haemodialysis of patients with end-stage renal disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2009
When the kidney fails the blood-borne metabolites of protein breakdown and water cannot be excreted. The principle of haemodialysis is that such substances can be removed when blood is passed over a semipermeable membrane. Natural membrane materials inclu - Cemented, cementless or hybrid fixation options in total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and other non-traumatic diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2012
It is not clear which fixation of total knee arthroplasty obtains the best clinical, functional and radiographic results in people with osteoarthritis and other non-traumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. - Central venous catheter (CVC) removal for patients of all ages with candidaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2018
Candida bloodstream infections most often affect those already suffering serious, potentially life-threatening conditions and often cause significant morbidity and mortality. Most affected persons have a central venous catheter (CVC) in place. The best CV - Centralisation of services for gynaecological cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2016
Gynaecological cancers are the second most common cancers among women. It has been suggested that centralised care improves outcomes but consensus is lacking. - Centre-based day care for children younger than five years of age in high-income countries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Sep-2014
A large proportion of children younger than five years of age in high-income countries experience significant non-parental care. Centre-based day care services may influence the development of children and the economic situation of parents. - Centre-based day care for children younger than five years of age in low- and middle-income countries
