Obesity is one of the major public health problems of modern society. Intragastric balloon (IGB) treatment for obesity has been developed as a temporary aid. Its primary objective is the treatment of obese people, who have had unsatisfactory results in th
- Intralesional treatment versus wide resection for central low‐grade chondrosarcoma of the long bones
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Mar-2019
Grade I or low-grade chondrosarcoma (LGCS) is a primary bone tumour with low malignant potential. Historically, it was treated by wide resection, since accurate pre-operative exclusion of more aggressive cancers can be challenging and under-treatment of a

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Intramedullary nailing is commonly used for treating fractures of the tibial shaft. These fractures are one of the most common long bone fractures in adults.
- Intramedullary nails for extracapsular hip fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2014
Intramedullary nails may be used for the surgical fixation of extracapsular hip fractures in adults. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2005 and last updated in 2008.
- Intramuscular arteether for treating severe malaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2004
Quinine and artemisinin drugs are used in severe malaria, but quinine resistance is increasing. Arteether is a recently developed artemisinin derivative that is oil soluble, has a long elimination half life, and is more stable than other derivatives.
- Intramuscular penicillin for the prevention of early onset group B streptococcal infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2012
Early-onset group B streptococcal disease (EOGBSD) is the most frequent cause of serious infection in the newborn period. Current strategies used to prevent EOGBSD are focused upon maternal antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce transmission of GBS to the infan
- Intramuscular versus intravenous anti-D for preventing Rhesus alloimmunization during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2012
Antibodies to the red cell Rhesus D (RhD) antigen can be produced during pregnancy in a RhD-negative mother carrying a RhD-positive fetus, in particular following feto-maternal haemorrhage at birth or following any procedure that may cause feto-maternal h
- Intramuscular versus oral corticosteroids to reduce relapses following discharge from the emergency department for acute asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jun-2018
Acute asthma is a common cause of presentations to acute care centres, such as the emergency department (ED), and while the majority of patients can be discharged, relapse requiring additional medical care is common. Systemic corticosteroids are a major p
- Intranasal corticosteroids for asthma control in people with coexisting asthma and rhinitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2003
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are mediated by similar allergic mechanisms. They may represent two manifestations of the same united airway disease and therefore intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) could improve asthma. Nevertheless none of the asthma guideli
- Intranasal corticosteroids for nasal airway obstruction in children with moderate to severe adenoidal hypertrophy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jul-2008
This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 3, 2008.
- Intranasal corticosteroids for non‐allergic rhinitis

Non-allergic rhinitis is defined as dysfunction and non-infectious inflammation of the nasal mucosa that is caused by provoking agents other than allergens or microbes. It is common, with an estimated prevalence of around 10% to 20%. Patients experience s
- Intranasal fentanyl for the management of acute pain in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Oct-2014
Pain is the most common symptom in the emergency setting; however, timely management of acute pain in children continues to be suboptimal. Intranasal drug delivery has emerged as an alternative method of achieving quicker drug delivery without adding to t

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jun-2013
The common cold is one of the most common illnesses in humans and constitutes an economic burden both in terms of productivity and expenditure for treatment. There is no proven cure for the common cold and symptomatic relief is the mainstay of treatment.
