- Antimetabolites as an adjunct to dacryocystorhinostomy for nasolacrimal duct obstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Apr-2020
Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is a condition that results in the overflow of tears (epiphora) or infection of the nasolacrimal sac (dacryocystitis). The etiology of acquired NLDO is multifactorial and is not fully understood. Dacryocystorhinostomy - Antimetabolites in cataract surgery to prevent failure of a previous trabeculectomy

Patients having cataract surgery have often earlier undergone a trabeculectomy for glaucoma. However, cataract surgery may be associated with failure of the previous glaucoma surgery and antimetabolites may be used with cataract surgery to prevent such fa - Antimicrobial agents for preventing peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2017
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease and is used in more than 200,000 such patients globally. However, its value is often limited by the development of infections such as peritonitis and exit-site and - Antimicrobial agents for preventing urinary tract infections in adults undergoing cystoscopy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Feb-2019
Cystoscopy is commonly performed for diagnostic purposes to inspect the interior lining of the bladder. One disadvantage of cystoscopy is the risk of symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) due to pre-existing colonization or by introduction of bacteria - Antimicrobial agents for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2010
Acute uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common problems for which young women seek medical attention. - Antimicrobial dressings for the prevention of catheter‐related infections in newborn infants with central venous catheters
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jan-2017
Central venous catheters (CVCs) provide secured venous access in neonates. Antimicrobial dressings applied over the CVC sites have been proposed to reduce catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) by decreasing colonisation. However, there may be co - Antimicrobial drugs for treating cholera
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2014
Cholera is an acute watery diarrhoea caused by infection with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which if severe can cause rapid dehydration and death. Effective management requires early diagnosis and rehydration using oral rehydration salts or intravenous f - Antimicrobial drugs for treating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2008
Eradication strategies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are variable. We sought to summarize the evidence for use of antimicrobial agents to eradicate MRSA. - Antimicrobial lock solutions for preventing catheter‐related infections in haemodialysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2018
Patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) through a central venous catheter (CVC) are exposed to several risks, being a catheter-related infection (CRI) and a CVC lumen thrombosis among the most serious. Standard of care regarding CVCs includes their sealing - Antimicrobial mouthwashes (gargling) and nasal sprays administered to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID‐19 infection to improve patient outcomes and to protect healthcare workers treating them
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
COVID-19 infection poses a serious risk to patients and – due to its contagious nature – to those healthcare workers (HCWs) treating them. If the mouth and nose of patients with infection are irrigated with antimicrobial solutions, this may help the patie - Antimicrobial mouthwashes (gargling) and nasal sprays to protect healthcare workers when undertaking aerosol‐generating procedures (AGPs) on patients without suspected or confirmed COVID‐19 infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
COVID-19 infection poses a serious risk to patients and – due to its contagious nature – to those healthcare workers (HCWs) treating them. The risks of transmission of infection are greater when a patient is undergoing an aerosol-generating procedure (AGP - Antimicrobial prophylaxis for colorectal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2015
Research shows that administration of prophylactic antibiotics before colorectal surgery prevents postoperative surgical wound infection. The best antibiotic choice, timing of administration and route of administration remain undetermined. - Antimicrobial therapy for chronic bacterial prostatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2013
Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is frequently diagnosed in men of fertile age, and is characterized by a disabling array of symptoms, including pain in the pelvic area (for example, perineum, testicles), voiding symptoms (increased frequency and urgen - Antimicrobial-impregnated central venous catheters for prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Sep-2015
Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborn infants cared for in neonatal units. Potential strategies to prevent these infections include the use of central venous catheters impregnated - Antimicrobials for treating symptomatic non‐typhoidal Salmonella infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2012
Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) commonly causes diarrhoea, and is usually self-limiting, although sometimes people become ill with sepsis and dehydration. Routine antibiotic use for this infection could result in persistent colonization and the spread of r - Antimotility agents for chronic diarrhoea in people with HIV/AIDS
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2008
AIDS-related diarrhoea is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV positive individuals, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa where 70% of deaths from HIV occur. It often compromises quality of life both in those receiving antiretroviral therapy ( - Antioxidant supplementation for lung disease in cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2019
Airway infection leads to progressive damage of the lungs in cystic fibrosis (CF) and oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiology. Supplementation of antioxidant micronutrients (vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene and selenium) or N-acetylcystein - Antioxidant supplements for liver diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2011
Several liver diseases have been associated with oxidative stress. Accordingly, antioxidants have been suggested as potential therapeutics for various liver diseases. The evidence supporting these suggestions is equivocal. - Antioxidant supplements for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and/or steatohepatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Sep-2008
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by fatty deposition in the hepatocytes of patients with minimal or no alcohol intake and without other known cause. NAFLD includes a wide spectrum of histologic abnormalities ranging from hepatic - Antioxidant supplements for preventing gastrointestinal cancers
