- Lumbar sympathectomy versus prostanoids for critical limb ischaemia due to non-reconstructable peripheral arterial disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2018
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem that can lead to reduced blood flow to the limbs, which may result in critical limb ischaemia (CLI), a painful manifestation that occurs when a person is at rest. The mainstay of treatment - Lung lavage for meconium aspiration syndrome in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2013
Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) can occur when a newborn infant inhales a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid into the lungs around the time of delivery. Other than supportive measures, little effective therapy is available. Lung lavage may be a pot - Lung volume reduction surgery for diffuse emphysema
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2016
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) performed to treat patients with severe diffuse emphysema was reintroduced in the nineties. Lung volume reduction surgery aims to resect damaged emphysematous lung tissue, thereby increasing elastic properties of the l - Luteal phase support in assisted reproduction cycles
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2008
The aspiration of the granulosa cells that surround the oocyte and the use of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) during assisted reproduction technology (ART) treatment can interfere with the production, during the luteal phase, of progestero - Luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists for the treatment of relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2019
Ovarian cancer is seventh most common cancer in women worldwide. Approximately 1.3% of women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point during their life time. The majority of tumours arise from surface of the ovary (epithelial). Two thirds of th - Lycopene for the prevention of prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Oct-2011
Prostate cancer is a common cause of death in developed countries, yet the benefits of screening for prostate cancer still remain controversial. A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test result greater than 4 ng/mL (nanograms/millilitre) has commonly been us - Machine perfusion preservation versus static cold storage for deceased donor kidney transplantation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2019
Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Retrieval, transport and transplant of kidney grafts causes ischaemia reperfusion injury. The current accepted standard is static cold storage (SCS) whereby the kidney is stored - Macrolides for treatment of Haemophilus ducreyi infection in sexually active adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2017
Chancroid is a genital ulcerative disease caused by Haemophilus ducreyi. This microorganism is endemic in Africa, where it can cause up to 10% of genital ulcers. Macrolides may be an effective alternative to treat chancroid and, based on their oral admini - Macular grid laser photocoagulation for branch retinal vein occlusion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2015
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common cause of retinal vascular abnormality after diabetic retinopathy. Persistent macular oedema develops in 60% of eyes with a BRVO. Untreated, only 14% of eyes with chronic macular oedema will ha - Macular translocation for neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Apr-2009
Macular translocation has been proposed by vitreoretinal surgeons to displace the neuroretinal tissue onto healthy retinal pigment epithelium and choroid when the macula has been invaded by subretinal neovascularisation. - Magnesium for alcohol withdrawal
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-May-2013
Patients have been given magnesium to treat or prevent alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). Evidence to support this practice is limited, and is often based on the controversial link between hypomagnesaemia and AWS. - Magnesium sulfate for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2010
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) occurs in approximately 1.9 per 1000 newborns and may be more frequent in developing countries. There is strong evidence for the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenat - Magnesium sulphate for preventing preterm birth in threatened preterm labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Aug-2014
Magnesium sulphate has been used in some settings as a tocolytic agent to inhibit uterine activity in women in preterm labour with the aim of preventing preterm birth. - Magnesium sulphate for women at term for neuroprotection of the fetus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2013
Magnesium sulphate is extensively used in obstetrics for the treatment and prevention of eclampsia. A recent meta-analysis has shown that magnesium sulphate is an effective fetal neuroprotective agent when given antenatally to women at risk of very preter - Magnesium sulphate versus phenytoin for eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Aug-2010
Eclampsia, the occurrence of a seizure in association with pre-eclampsia, remains a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. A number of different anticonvulsants have been used to control eclamptic fits and to prevent further seizures. - Magnesium supplementation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2019
Magnesium is an essential mineral required for regulation of body temperature, nucleic acid and protein synthesis and in maintaining nerve and muscle cell electrical potentials. Many women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, have low intakes - Maintenance immunosuppression for adults undergoing liver transplantation: a network meta-analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2017
As part of liver transplantation, immunosuppression (suppressing the host immunity) is given to prevent graft rejections resulting from the immune response of the body against transplanted organ or tissues from a different person whose tissue antigens are - Maintenance therapy with calcium channel blockers for preventing preterm birth after threatened preterm labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Oct-2013
Calcium channel blocker maintenance therapy is one of the types of tocolytic therapy that may be used after an episode of threatened preterm labour (and usually an initial dose of tocolytic therapy) in an attempt to prevent the onset of further preterm co - Maintenance therapy with oxytocin antagonists for inhibiting preterm birth after threatened preterm labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Oct-2013
In some women, an episode of preterm labour settles and does not result in immediate preterm birth. Subsequent treatment with tocolytic agents such as oxytocin receptor antagonists may then have the potential to prevent the recurrence of preterm labour, p - Male circumcision for prevention of heterosexual acquisition of HIV in men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Apr-2013
Male circumcision is defined as the surgical removal of all or part of the foreskin of the penis and may be practiced as part of a religious ritual, as a medical procedure, or as part of a traditional ritual performed as an initiation into manhood. Since
