- Blood transfusion for treating malarial anaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Oct-1999
Blood transfusion is used in patients with severe malarial anaemia, but risks adverse reactions, transmission of disease, and is complicated to organize in developing countries. - Blood transfusions for anaemia in patients with advanced cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Anaemia occurs in 68% to 77% of patients with advanced cancer, however, only a minority of patients who are admitted to a hospice receive a blood transfusion. It is unclear what the benefit of blood transfusion is in advanced cancer, who is most likely to - Blood transfusions for treating acute chest syndrome in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2020
Sickle cell disease is an inherited autosomal recessive blood condition and is one of the most prevalent genetic blood diseases worldwide. Acute chest syndrome is a frequent complication of sickle cell disease, as well as a major cause of morbidity and th - Blue versus white light for transurethral resection of non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2021
Disease recurrence and progression remain major challenges in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Blue light-enhanced transurethral resection of bladder cancer (TURBT) is an approach to improve staging and achieve a complete resec - Blue‐light filtering intraocular lenses (IOLs) for protecting macular health
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2018
An intraocular lens (IOL) is a synthetic lens that is surgically implanted within the eye following removal of the crystalline lens, during cataract surgery. While all modern IOLs attenuate the transmission of ultra-violet (UV) light, some IOLs, called bl - Blunt versus sharp suture needles for preventing percutaneous exposure incidents in surgical staff
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2016
Surgeons and their assistants are especially at risk of exposure to blood due to glove perforations and needle stick injuries during operations. The use of blunt needles can reduce this risk because they don't penetrate skin easily but still perform suffi - Body positioning for spontaneously breathing preterm infants with apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2017
It has been proposed that body positioning in preterm infants, as compared with other, more invasive measures, may be an effective method of reducing clinically significant apnoea. - Body weight management in overweight and obese breast cancer survivors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2020
Studies suggest that overweight and obese breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of cancer recurrence and have higher all-cause mortality. Obesity has an impact on breast cancer survivor's quality of life (QOL) and increases the risk of longer-term - Bone grafts and bone substitutes for treating distal radial fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2009
Surgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius can involve the implantation of bone scaffolding materials (bone grafts and substitutes) into bony defects that frequently arise after fracture reduction. - Bone marrow harvest versus peripheral stem cell collection for haemopoietic stem cell donation in healthy donors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Haemopoietic stem cells can be collected from a donor either as a bone marrow harvest or by peripheral blood collection. Both techniques have risks for the donor. - Bone marrow versus peripheral blood allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for haematological malignancies in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2014
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment option for many malignant and non-malignant disorders. In the past two decades, peripheral blood stem cells replaced bone marrow as stem cell source due to faster - Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) for fracture healing in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2010
Delay in fracture healing is a complex clinical and economic issue for patients and health services. - Booster dose vaccination for preventing hepatitis B
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2016
Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) wane over time following hepatitis B immunisation; hence, it is unclear whether people vaccinated in three-dose or four-dose schedules of the hepatitis B vaccine are still immune when the hepatitis B - Bortezomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2016
Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells accounting for approximately 1% of cancers and 12% of haematological malignancies. The first-in-class proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, is commonly used to treat newly diagnosed as well as relapsed/refracto - Botulinum toxin A as an adjunct to treatment in the management of the upper limb in children with spastic cerebral palsy (UPDATE)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Cerebral palsy (CP) is "a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture causing activity limitation(s) that are attributed to non-progressive disturbance that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain" (Rosenbaum 2007, p.9 - Botulinum toxin for masseter hypertrophy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2013
Benign masseter muscle hypertrophy is an uncommon clinical phenomenon of uncertain aetiology which is characterised by a soft swelling near the angle of the mandible. The swelling may on occasion be associated with facial pain and can be prominent enough - Botulinum toxin for motor and phonic tics in Tourette's syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jan-2018
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, or Tourette’s syndrome, is defined as the presence of both motor and vocal (phonic) tics for more than 12 months, that manifest before the age of 18 years, in the absence of secondary causes. Treatment of motor and phonic t - Botulinum toxin for myofascial pain syndromes in adults

Recent evidence suggests an anti-nociceptive effect of botulinum toxin. - Botulinum toxin for subacute/chronic neck pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-May-2015
Neck disorders are common, disabling and costly. Botulinum toxin (BoNT) intramuscular injections are often used with the intention of treating neck pain.
