Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2014
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is associated with improved outcomes for people with various hematologic diseases; however, the morbidity and mortality resulting from acute and subsequently chronic graft-versus-host disease (
- Mycophenolic acid versus azathioprine as primary immunosuppression for kidney transplant recipients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Nov-2015
Modern immunosuppressive regimens after kidney transplantation usually use a combination of two or three agents of different classes to prevent rejection and maintain graft function. Most frequently, calcineurin-inhibitors (CNI) are combined with corticos
- N-acetylcysteine for sepsis and systemic inflammatory response in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2012
Death is common in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis-induced multisystem organ failure and it has been thought that antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine could be beneficial.
- Naftidrofuryl for acute stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2008
Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in the western world. The development of drugs to limit the effects of brain damage caused by stroke continues but no routine effective treatment has yet been identifie
- Naftidrofuryl for dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2011
Dementia is a brain disorder characterized by the permanent loss of higher cognitive functions. A number of vasodilatory drug treatments are prescribed for dementia. Naftidrofuryl is one such medicine which is reported to improve clinical symptoms signifi
- Naftidrofuryl for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2012
Lifestyle changes and cardiovascular prevention measures are a primary treatment for intermittent claudication (IC). Symptomatic treatment with vasoactive agents (Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical Classification (ATC) for medicines from the World Health Organ
- Naftopidil for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms compatible with benign prostatic hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2012
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Treatment aims are to relieve symptoms and prevent disease progression. Of the different a-1 adrenergic receptors (ARs) in the prostate, a-1
- Nalbuphine for postoperative pain treatment in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2014
Several surveys over the past few years have demonstrated that postoperative pain in children is not treated appropriately. One pharmacological treatment option in a multimodal approach for postoperative pain treatment is the systemic administration of op
- Naloxone for opiate-exposed newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jan-2013
Naloxone, a specific opiate antagonist, is available for the treatment of newborn infants with cardiorespiratory or neurological depression that may be due to intrauterine exposure to opiate. It is unclear whether newborn infants may benefit from this the
- Naloxone for preventing morbidity and mortality in newborn infants of greater than 34 weeks' gestation with suspected perinatal asphyxia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Studies in animal models have suggested that naloxone, a specific opiate antagonist, may improve outcomes for newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia.
- Naloxone for shock
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-May-2009
There is pre-clinical evidence, involving several animal species, suggesting that opioid peptides play a role in the physiopathology of shock (endotoxic, hypovolemic, cardiogenic, spinal, anaphylactic). Many case reports have suggested that naloxone (an o
- Naproxen with or without an antiemetic for acute migraine headaches in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-May-2015
Migraine is a common, disabling condition and a burden for the individual, health services, and society. Many sufferers choose not to, or are unable to, seek professional help and rely on over-the-counter analgesics. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-infla
- Narrow band imaging versus conventional white light colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal polyps
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2011
It has been suggested that narrow band imaging colonoscopy (NBI) might be better for detection of colorectal polyps than white light colonoscopy (WLC).
- Narrow band imaging versus white light cystoscopy alone for transurethral resection of non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Apr-2022
Disease recurrence and progression remain major challenges for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an optical enhancement technique that may improve resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and thereby
- Narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy versus broad-band ultraviolet B or psoralen-ultraviolet A photochemotherapy for psoriasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Apr-2015
The most commonly used types of phototherapy for treating psoriasis are narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB); broad-band ultraviolet B (BB-UVB), which includes selective (delivering radiation with a wavelength range of 305 to 325 nm) and conventional BB-UVB
- Nasal continuous positive airway pressure immediately after extubation for preventing morbidity in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2009
Preterm infants being extubated following a period of intermittent positive pressure ventilation via an endotracheal tube are at risk of developing respiratory failure as a result of apnea, respiratory acidosis and hypoxia. Nasal continuous positive airwa
- Nasal continuous positive airway pressure levels for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Nov-2021
Preterm infants are at risk of lung atelectasis due to various anatomical and physiological immaturities, placing them at high risk of respiratory failure and associated harms. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a positive pressure applie
- Nasal decongestants for the common cold
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2009
The common cold is a major and recurrent cause of morbidity, on average affecting children and adults two or more times each year. Nasal congestion is its commonest symptom and many therapies are marketed for its relief. There is no meta-analysis of contr
- Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for apnea of prematurity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2008
Apnea of prematurity is almost universal in infants who are born before 34 weeks gestation. Previous randomised trials and systematic reviews have found methylxanthines to be effective in preventing apnea of prematurity. However, recent concerns about pot
