Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Mar-2017
Systemic fungal infection is considered to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients, particularly those with neutropenia. Antifungal drugs are often given prophylactically, or empirically to patients with persistent fever. - Routine vitamin A supplementation for the prevention of blindness due to measles infection in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Aug-2016
Reduced vitamin A concentration increases the risk of blindness in children infected with the measles virus. Promoting vitamin A supplementation in children with measles contributes to the control of blindness in children, which is a high priority within - Rubber band ligation versus excisional haemorrhoidectomy for haemorrhoids
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Feb-2011
Traditional treatment methods for haemorrhoids fall into two broad groups: less invasive techniques including rubber band ligation (RBL), which tend to produce minimal pain, and the more radical techniques like excisional haemorrhoidectomy (EH), which are - Rubber dam isolation for restorative treatment in dental patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Sep-2016
Successful restorations in dental patients depend largely on the effective control of moisture and microbes during the procedure. The rubber dam technique has been one of the most widely used isolation methods in dental restorative treatments. The evidenc - Rufinamide add-on therapy for refractory epilepsy
