Passiflora (passionflowe - Passive movements for the treatment and prevention of contractures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jan-2014
Contractures, a common complication following immobility, lead to restricted joint range of motion. Passive movements (PMs) are widely used for the treatment and prevention of contractures; however, it is not clear whether they are effective. - Patch angioplasty versus primary closure for carotid endarterectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2022
Carotid patch angioplasty may reduce the risk of acute occlusion or long-term restenosis of the carotid artery and subsequent ischaemic stroke in people undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This is an update of a Cochrane Review originally published i - Patches of different types for carotid patch angioplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2021
Extracranial carotid artery stenosis is the major cause of stroke, which can lead to disability and mortality. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with carotid patch angioplasty is the most popular technique for reducing the risk of stroke. Patch material may be - Patching for corneal abrasion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-2016
Published audits have demonstrated that corneal abrasions are a common presenting eye complaint. Eye patches are often recommended for treating corneal abrasions despite the lack of evidence for their use. This systematic review was conducted to determine - Patellar taping for patellofemoral pain syndrome in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Mar-2012
Patellofemoral pain syndrome refers to the clinical presentation of knee pain related to changes in the patellofemoral joint. Patellofemoral pain syndrome usually has a gradual onset of pain with none of the features associated with other knee diseases or - Patellar tendon versus hamstring tendon autograft for anterior cruciate ligament rupture in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-2011
Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) commonly involves patellar tendon (PT) or hamstring tendon(s) (HT) autografts. There is no consensus with respect to the choice between these two grafts in ACL surgery. - Pathogen‐reduced platelets for the prevention of bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2017
Platelet transfusions are used to prevent and treat bleeding in people who are thrombocytopenic.
