Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Aug-2021
Early enteral feeding practices are potentially modifiable risk factors for necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in very preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Observational studies suggest that conservative feeding regimens, including slowly advanci - Slow versus fast subcutaneous heparin injections for prevention of bruising and site pain intensity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2021
Heparin is an anticoagulant medication that is usually injected subcutaneously. Subcutaneous administration of heparin may result in complications such as bruising, haematoma, and pain at the injection site. One of the factors that may affect pain, haemat - Slow‐release fluoride devices for the control of dental decay
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Mar-2018
Slow-release fluoride devices have been investigated as a potentially cost-effective method of reducing dental caries in people with high risk of disease.
