- Gonadotrophins for idiopathic male factor subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Aug-2013
Male factors leading to subfertility account for at least half of all cases of subfertility worldwide. Although some causes of male subfertility are treatable, treatment of idiopathic male factor subfertility remains empirical. Researchers have used gonad
- Gonadotrophins for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2019
Ovulation induction with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a second-line treatment in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who do not ovulate or conceive on clomiphene citrate.
- Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone agonist versus HCG for oocyte triggering in antagonist‐assisted reproductive technology
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2014
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is routinely used for final oocyte maturation triggering in in vitro fertilisation (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles, but the use of HCG for this purpose may have drawbacks. Gonadotropin-releasing horm
- Governance arrangements for health systems in low‐income countries: an overview of systematic reviews
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2017
Governance arrangements include changes in rules or processes that determine authority and accountability for health policies, organisations, commercial products and health professionals, as well as the involvement of stakeholders in decision-making. Chan
- Government regulation of private health insurance
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Feb-2021
The strain on public resources to meet the healthcare needs of populations through publicly-provided health insurance programmes is increasing and many governments turn to private health insurance (PHI) to ease the pressure on government budgets. With the
- Gowning by attendants and visitors in newborn nurseries for prevention of neonatal morbidity and mortality
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2003
Overgowns are widely used in newborn nurseries and neonatal intensive care units. It is thought that gowns may help to prevent the spread of nosocomial infection and serve as a reminder to staff and visitors to wash their hands before contact with the inf
- Gradual versus abrupt discontinuation of oxygen in preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2001
The issue of whether to abruptly or gradually discontinue supplemental oxygen is a contentious one. There have been mixed results in studies of both humans and animal models on the effects of either method of oxygen cessation on important infant outcomes.
- Graduated compression stockings for prevention of deep vein thrombosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2018
Hospitalised patients are at increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limb and pelvic veins, on a background of prolonged immobilisation associated with their medical or surgical illness. Patients with DVT are at increased risk
- Graduated compression stockings for the initial treatment of varicose veins in people without venous ulceration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jul-2021
Compression hosiery or stockings are often the first line of treatment for varicose veins in people without either healed or active venous ulceration. Evidence is required to determine whether the use of compression stockings can effectively manage and tr
- Graduated driver licensing for reducing motor vehicle crashes among young drivers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2011
Graduated driver licensing (GDL) has been proposed as a means of reducing crash rates among novice drivers by gradually introducing them to higher risk driving situations.
- Graft interposition for preventing Frey's syndrome in patients undergoing parotidectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2019
Frey's syndrome is characterised by transient flushing and sometimes facial sweating in the area of the auriculotemporal nerve. It most commonly occurs after parotidectomy, but other causes may include submandibular gland surgery, mandibular condylar frac
- Graft type for femoro‐popliteal bypass surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2018
Femoro-popliteal bypass is implemented to save limbs that might otherwise require amputation, in patients with ischaemic rest pain or tissue loss; and to improve walking distance in patients with severe life-limiting claudication. Contemporary practice in
- Granulocyte and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factors for newly diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndromes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2016
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of haematological diseases which are characterised by a uni- or multilineage dysplasia of haematological stem cells. Standard treatment is supportive care of the arising symptoms including red bloo
- Granulocyte colony stimulating factor therapy for acute myocardial infarction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-May-2013
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in developed countries, and current treatment modalities have failed to regenerate the dead myocardium resulting from the ischemic damage. Stem cells have the potential to regenerate the dama
- Granulocyte transfusions for neonates with confirmed or suspected sepsis and neutropenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Oct-2011
Neonates have immature granulopoiesis, which frequently results in neutropenia after sepsis. Neutropaenic septic neonates have a higher mortality than non-neutropenic septic neonates. Therefore, granulocyte transfusion to septic neutropenic neonates may i
- Granulocyte transfusions for preventing infections in people with neutropenia or neutrophil dysfunction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jun-2015
Despite modern antimicrobials and supportive therapy, bacterial and fungal infections are still major complications in people with prolonged disease-related or therapy-related neutropenia. Since the late 1990s there has been increasing demand for donated
- Granulocyte transfusions for treating infections in people with neutropenia or neutrophil dysfunction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Apr-2016
Despite modern antimicrobials and supportive therapy bacterial and fungal infections are still major complications in people with prolonged disease-related or treatment-related neutropenia. Transfusions of granulocytes have a long history of usage in clin
- Granulocyte‐Colony Stimulating Factor (G‐CSF) as an adjunct to antibiotics in the treatment of pneumonia in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2007
Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a naturally-occurring cytokine that has been shown to increase neutrophil function and number. Exogenous administration of recombinant G-CSF (filgrastim, pegfilgrastim or lenograstim) has found extensive us
- Granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor administration for subfertile women undergoing assisted reproduction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jan-2020
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) seems to play an important role in the process of embryo implantation and continuation of pregnancy. It has been used during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment for subfertile women with chronically thin en
- Granulocyte‐colony stimulating factors as adjunctive therapy for diabetic foot infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Aug-2013
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) increases the release of neutrophil endothelial progenitor cells from the bone marrow and improves neutrophil functions, which are often impaired in people with diabetes.
