- Enteral zinc supplementation for prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2021
Preterm and low birth weight infants are born with low stores in zinc, which is a vital trace element for growth, cell differentiation and immune function. Preterm infants are at risk of zinc deficiency during the postnatal period of rapid growth. Systema
- Environmental and behavioural interventions for reducing physical activity limitation and preventing falls in older people with visual impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2020
Impairment of vision is associated with a decrease in activities of daily living. Avoidance of physical activity in older adults with visual impairment can lead to functional decline and is an important risk factor for falls. The rate of falls and fractur

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2018
Weight loss, malnutrition and dehydration are common problems for people with dementia. Environmental modifications such as, change of routine, context or ambience at mealtimes, or behavioural modifications, such as education or training of people with de
- Environmental enrichment for stroke and other non‐progressive brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Nov-2021
Rehabilitation is effective for recovery after stroke and other non-progressive brain injuries but it is unclear if the rehabilitation environment itself, outside of limited therapy hours, is maximally conducive to recovery. Environmental enrichment is a
- Environmental interventions to reduce the consumption of sugar‐sweetened beverages and their effects on health
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2019
Frequent consumption of excess amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is a risk factor for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dental caries. Environmental interventions, i.e. interventions that alter the physical or social environmen
- Environmental sanitary interventions for preventing active trachoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Trachoma is a major cause of avoidable blindness. It is responsible for about six million blind people worldwide, mostly in the poor communities of developing countries. One of the major strategies advocated for the control of the disease is the applicati
- Enzyme replacement and substrate reduction therapy for Gaucher disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Mar-2015
Gaucher disease, a rare disorder, is caused by inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. It is unique among the ultra-orphan disorders in that four treatments are currently approved by various regulatory authorities for use in routine clinica
- Enzyme replacement therapy for Anderson‐Fabry disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jul-2016
Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked defect of glycosphingolipid metabolism. Progressive renal insufficiency is a major source of morbidity, additional complications result from cardio- and cerebro-vascular involvement. Survival is reduced among affected
- Enzyme replacement therapy for infantile‐onset Pompe disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Nov-2017
Infantile-onset Pompe disease is a rare and progressive autosomal-recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Current treatment involves enzyme replacement therapy (with recombinant human alglucosidase a
- Enzyme replacement therapy with galsulfase for mucopolysaccharidosis type VI
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Sep-2021
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of arylsulphatase B. The resultant accumulation of dermatan sulphate causes lysosomal damage.
- Enzyme replacement therapy with idursulfase for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Feb-2016
Mucopolysaccharidosis II, also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare, X-linked disease caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase, which catalyses a step in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans. The glycosaminoglycans accumulate wi

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2019
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I can be classified as three clinical sub-types; Hurler syndrome, Hurler-Scheie syndrome and Scheie syndrome, with the scale of severity being such that Hurler syndrome is the most severe and Scheie syndrome the least severe. It
- Ephedrine for myasthenia gravis, neonatal myasthenia and the congenital myasthenic syndromes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2014
Myasthenia is a condition in which neuromuscular transmission is affected by antibodies against neuromuscular junction components (autoimmune myasthenia gravis, MG; and neonatal myasthenia gravis, NMG) or by defects in genes for neuromuscular junction pro

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jun-2017
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors prevent cell growth and have shown benefit in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, whether used as single agents or in combination with chemotherapy. Clear benefit has been shown in trials of EG

- Epidural analgesia for adults undergoing cardiac surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Mar-2019
General anaesthesia combined with epidural analgesia may have a beneficial effect on clinical outcomes. However, use of epidural analgesia for cardiac surgery is controversial due to a theoretical increased risk of epidural haematoma associated with syste
- Epidural analgesia for pain relief following hip or knee replacement
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2014
Hip and knee replacement are common operative procedures to improve mobility and quality of life. Adequate pain relief is essential in the postoperative period to enable ambulation and initiation of physiotherapy. Lumbar epidural analgesia is a common mod
- Epidural analgesia versus patient‐controlled intravenous analgesia for pain following intra‐abdominal surgery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2018
