- Inhaled corticosteroids versus sodium cromoglycate in children and adults with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2009
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and sodium cromoglycate (SCG) have become established as effective controller medications for children and adults with asthma, but their relative efficacy is not clear.
- Inhaled insulin in diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2008
Insulin therapy often relies on multiple daily injections of insulin. However this is a considerable burden to many people with diabetes and adherence to such an insulin regimen can be difficult to maintain, hence compromising optimal glycaemic control. A
- Inhaled nitric oxide for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury in children and adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2013
Acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF), defined as acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are critical conditions. AHRF results from a number of systemic conditions and is associated with high mortality and morbidity
- Inhaled nitric oxide for respiratory failure in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2010
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is effective in term infants with hypoxic respiratory failure. The pathophysiology of respiratory failure and the potential risks of iNO differ substantially in preterm infants, necessitating study in this population.
- Inhaled nitric oxide for the postoperative management of pulmonary hypertension in infants and children with congenital heart disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2014
Nitric oxide (NO) is a prevalent molecule in humans that is responsible for many physiologic activities including pulmonary vasodilation. An exogenous, inhaled form (iNO) exists that mimics this action without affecting systemic blood pressure. This thera
- Inhaled steroids for acute asthma following emergency department discharge
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Nov-2012
Patients with acute asthma treated in the emergency department (ED) are frequently treated with inhaled beta2-agonists and systemic corticosteroids after discharge. The use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) following discharge may also be beneficial in imp
- Inhaled steroids for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2011
Bronchiectasis is increasingly recognized as a major cause of respiratory morbidity especially in developing countries and in some ethnic populations of affluent countries. It is characterized by irreversible dilatation of airways, generally associated wi
- Inhaled steroids for episodic viral wheeze of childhood
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2008
Recurrent episodic wheeze in association with viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is a specific clinical illness distinct from persistent atopic asthma.
- Inhaled versus oral steroids for adults with chronic asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Aug-2008
Steroids are a common treatment of chronic asthma as a maintenance therapy in both developed and developing countries across the world. The cost of inhaled steroids means that in developing countries their availability is limited, leading to poorly contro
- Inhaled versus systemic corticosteroids for preventing chronic lung disease in ventilated very low birth weight preterm neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2012
Chronic lung disease (CLD) remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm infants and inflammation plays an important role in its pathogenesis. The use of inhaled corticosteroids may modulate the inflammatory process without concomitant
- Inhaled versus systemic corticosteroids for the treatment of chronic lung disease in ventilated very low birth weight preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2012
Chronic lung disease (CLD) remains a serious and common problem among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants despite the use of antenatal steroids and postnatal surfactant therapy to decrease the incidence and severity of respiratory distress syndrome. Due
- Initial management strategies for dyspepsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2009
This review considers management strategies (combinations of initial investigation and empirical treatments) for dyspeptic patients. Dyspepsia was defined to include both epigastric pain and heartburn.
- Intermittent versus continuous androgen suppression for prostatic cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2012
After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cause of death among males. The aim of treatment is to prevent disease-related morbidity and mortality while minimizing intervention-related adverse events. Androgen suppression therapy (AST) to reduce
- Interventions for chronic palmoplantar pustulosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2016
Chronic palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by crops of sterile pustules (yellow pus spots) on the palms and soles which erupt repeatedly over months or years. The affected areas tend to become red and scal
- Interventions for cutaneous molluscum contagiosum
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2015
Molluscum contagiosum is a common skin infection, caused by a pox virus. The infection will usually resolve within months in people with a normal immune system. Many treatments have been used for molluscum contagiosum but a clear evidence base supporting
- Interventions for deliberately altering blood pressure in acute stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2014
It is unclear whether blood pressure should be altered actively during the acute phase of stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 1997, and previously updated in 2001 and 2008.
- Interventions for impetigo
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2015
Impetigo is a common, superficial bacterial skin infection, which is most frequently encountered in children. There is no generally agreed standard therapy, and guidelines for treatment differ widely. Treatment options include many different oral and topi
- Interventions for leg cramps in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2015
Many women experience leg cramps in pregnancy. They become more common as pregnancy progresses and are especially troublesome at night.
- Interventions for minimal change disease in adults with nephrotic syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Mar-2022
Steroids have been used widely since the early 1970s for the treatment of adult-onset minimal change disease (MCD). Recently, newer agents have been used in adult MCD aiming to reduce the risk of adverse effects. The response rates to immunosuppressive ag
- Interventions for mucous membrane pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2015
Mucous membrane pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita are rare acquired autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin. Both can result in scarring of mucous membranes which may lead to blindness and life threatening respiratory complications.
