- Epinephrine for the resuscitation of apparently stillborn or extremely bradycardic newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2002
Epinephrine is a cardiac stimulant with complex effects on the heart and blood vessels. It has been used for decades in all age groups to treat cardiac arrest and bradycardia. Despite formal guidelines for the use of epinephrine in neonatal resuscitation,
- Epinephrine injection versus epinephrine injection and a second endoscopic method in high-risk bleeding ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Oct-2014
Endoscopic therapy reduces the rebleeding rate and the need for surgery in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers.
- Ergonomic and physiotherapeutic interventions for treating work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Conservative interventions such as physiotherapy and ergonomic adjustments (such as keyboard adjustments or ergonomic advice) play a major role in the treatment of most work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder (CANS).
- Ergonomic interventions for preventing work‐related musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb and neck among office workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2018
Work-related upper limb and neck musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common occupational disorders worldwide. Studies have shown that the percentage of office workers that suffer from MSDs ranges from 20 to 60 per cent. The direct and ind
- Erythromycin for the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-May-2008
Functional immaturity of gastrointestinal motility predisposes preterm infants to feeding intolerance. Erythromycin is a motilin agonist that exerts its prokinetic effect by stimulating propagative contractile activity in the interdigestive phase.
- Erythropoietin or darbepoetin for patients with cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Anaemia associated with cancer and cancer therapy is an important clinical factor in the treatment of malignant diseases. Therapeutic alternatives are recombinant human erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) and red blood cell transfusions.
- Eversion versus conventional carotid endarterectomy for preventing stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2000
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is conventionally undertaken by a longitudinal arteriotomy. Eversion CEA, which employs a transverse arteriotomy and reimplantation of the carotid artery, is reported to be associated with low perioperative stroke and restenos
- Exercise for acutely hospitalised older medical patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Sep-2008
A high incidence of functional decline (deterioration in physical or cognitive function) during hospitalisation of older adults is reported. The role of exercise in preventing these deconditioning effects is unclear.
- Exercise for diabetic pregnant women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Diabetes in pregnancy may result in unfavourable maternal and neonatal outcomes. Exercise was proposed as an additional strategy to improve glycaemic control. The effect of exercise during pregnancies complicated by diabetes needs to be assessed.
- Exercise for improving balance in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Apr-2012
In older adults, diminished balance is associated with reduced physical functioning and an increased risk of falling. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2007.
- Exercise for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Dec-2017
Exercise programmes are a relatively inexpensive, low-risk option compared with other, more invasive therapies for treatment of leg pain on walking (intermittent claudication (IC)). This is the fourth update of a review first published in 1998.
- Exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2015
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health issue because it causes chronic pain, reduces physical function and diminishes quality of life. Ageing of the population and increased global prevalence of obesity are anticipated to dramatically increase
- Exercise for overweight or obesity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Clinical trials have shown that exercise in adults with overweight or obesity can reduce bodyweight. There has been no quantitative systematic review of this in The Cochrane Library.
- Exercise for people with peripheral neuropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2011
Peripheral neuropathies are a wide range of diseases affecting the peripheral nerves. Demyelination or axonal degeneration gives rise to a variety of symptoms including reduced or altered sensation, pain, muscle weakness and fatigue. Secondary disability
- Exercise for the management of cancer‐related fatigue in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2012
Cancer-related fatigue is recognised as an important symptom associated with cancer and its treatment. A number of studies have investigated the effects of physical activity in reducing cancer-related fatigue. This is an updated version of the original Co
- Exercise for treating anterior cruciate ligament injuries in combination with collateral ligament and meniscal damage of the knee in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The ACL may be damaged in isolation but often other ligaments and menisci are implicated. The injury may be managed surgically or conservatively. Injury causes pain,
- Exercise for treating fibromyalgia syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jun-2008
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome expressed by chronic widespread body pain which leads to reduced physical function and frequent use of health care services. Exercise training is commonly recommended as a treatment. This is an update of a review published
- Exercise for treating isolated anterior cruciate ligament injuries in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. Injury causes pain, effusion and inflammation leading to the inability to fully activate the thigh muscles. Regaining muscular control is essential if the individual
- Exercise for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Exercise is generally recommended for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, some studies evaluate an exercise intervention including diet or behaviour modification or both, and the effects of diet and exercise are not differentiated. Some exercis
- Exercise for vasomotor menopausal symptoms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Nov-2014
Evidence suggests that many perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women will experience menopausal symptoms; hot flushes are the most common. Symptoms caused by fluctuating levels of oestrogen may be alleviated by hormone therapy (HT), but a marked glob
