- Fluid restriction in the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2021
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is caused by delayed clearance of lung fluid at birth. TTN typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm neonates and is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress.
- Fluid supplementation for neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2017
Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia is a common problem which carries a risk of neurotoxicity. Certain infants who have hyperbilirubinaemia develop bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus which may lead to long-term disability. Phototherapy is currently the mai
- Fluid therapy for acute bacterial meningitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2016
Acute bacterial meningitis remains a disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. However, with prompt and adequate antimicrobial and supportive treatment, the chances for survival have improved, especially among infants and children. Careful manageme
- Fluids and diuretics for acute ureteric colic
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Acute ureteric colic is commonly associated with severe and debilitating pain. Theoretically, increasing fluid flow through the affected kidney might expedite stone passage, thereby improving symptoms more quickly. The efficacy and safety of interventions
- Flumazenil versus placebo or no intervention for people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2017
Hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication of cirrhosis which results in poor brain functioning. The spectrum of changes associated with hepatic encephalopathy ranges from the clinically 'indiscernible' or minimal hepatic encephalopathy to the clinic
- Fluorescence devices for the detection of dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2020
Caries is one of the most prevalent and preventable conditions worldwide. If identified early enough then non-invasive techniques can be applied, and therefore this review focusses on early caries involving the enamel surface of the tooth. The cornerstone
- Fluoridated milk for preventing dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2015
Dental caries remains a major public health problem in most industrialised countries, affecting 60% to 90% of schoolchildren and the vast majority of adults. Milk may provide a relatively cost-effective vehicle for fluoride delivery in the prevention of d
- Fluoride for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2000
Osteoporosis is a condition that results in an increased risk of fractures due to the reduction of bone volume, which is caused by an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption. Because of this property, fluoride has been used for over 30 years
- Fluoride gels for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2015
Topically applied fluoride gels have been widely used as a caries-preventive intervention in dental surgeries and school-based programmes for over three decades. This updates the Cochrane review of fluoride gels for preventing dental caries in children an
- Fluoride mouthrinses for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2016
Fluoride mouthrinses have been used extensively as a caries-preventive intervention in school-based programmes and by individuals at home. This is an update of the Cochrane review of fluoride mouthrinses for preventing dental caries in children and adoles
- Fluoride supplementation (with tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gum) in pregnant women for preventing dental caries in the primary teeth of their children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2017
Dental caries (tooth decay) is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases. Caries prevalence in most industrialised countries has declined among children over the past few decades. The probable reasons for the decline are the widespread use of fluo
- Fluoride supplements (tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gums) for preventing dental caries in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Dietary fluoride supplements were first introduced to provide systemic fluoride in areas where water fluoridation is not available. Since 1990, the use of fluoride supplements in caries prevention has been re-evaluated in several countries.
- Fluoride toothpastes for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2003
Fluoride toothpastes have been widely used for over 3 decades and remain a benchmark intervention for the prevention of dental caries.
- Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Mar-2019
Caries (dental decay) is a disease of the hard tissues of the teeth caused by an imbalance, over time, in the interactions between cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque and fermentable carbohydrates (mainly sugars). Regular toothbrushing with fluoride toot
- Fluoride varnishes for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2014
Topically-applied fluoride varnishes have been used extensively as an operator-applied caries-preventive intervention for over three decades. This review updates the first Cochrane review of fluoride varnishes for preventing dental caries in children and
- Fluorides for preventing early tooth decay (demineralised lesions) during fixed brace treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Nov-2019
Early dental decay or demineralised lesions (DLs, also known as white spot lesions) can appear on teeth during fixed orthodontic (brace) treatment. Fluoride reduces decay in susceptible individuals, including orthodontic patients. This review compared var
- Fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) for the detection of bone, lung, and lymph node metastases in rhabdomyosarcoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2021
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common paediatric soft-tissue sarcoma and can emerge throughout the whole body. For patients with newly diagnosed RMS, prognosis for survival depends on multiple factors such as histology, tumour site, and extent of the
- Fluoropyrimidine‐HAI (hepatic arterial infusion) versus systemic chemotherapy (SCT) for unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2009
Although locoregional treatments such as hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) claim the advantage of delivering higher doses of anticancer agents directly into the metastatic organ as compared to systemic chemotherapy (SCT), the benefit in terms of overall sur
- Fluoroquinolones for treating tuberculosis (presumed drug‐sensitive)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2013
Currently the World Health Organization only recommend fluoroquinolones for people with presumed drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB) who cannot take standard first-line drugs. However, use of fluoroquinolones could shorten the length of treatment and improve
- Fluoroquinolones for treating typhoid and paratyphoid fever (enteric fever)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Nov-2011
Typhoid and paratyphoid are febrile illnesses, due to a bacterial infection, which remain common in many low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends the fluoroquinolone antibiotics in areas with known resista
