- Antimicrobial therapy for chronic bacterial prostatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2013
Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is frequently diagnosed in men of fertile age, and is characterized by a disabling array of symptoms, including pain in the pelvic area (for example, perineum, testicles), voiding symptoms (increased frequency and urgen
- Antimicrobial-impregnated central venous catheters for prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Sep-2015
Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborn infants cared for in neonatal units. Potential strategies to prevent these infections include the use of central venous catheters impregnated
- Antimicrobials for treating symptomatic non-typhoidal Salmonella infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2012
Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) commonly causes diarrhoea, and is usually self-limiting, although sometimes people become ill with sepsis and dehydration. Routine antibiotic use for this infection could result in persistent colonization and the spread of r
- Antimotility agents for chronic diarrhoea in people with HIV/AIDS
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2008
AIDS-related diarrhoea is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV positive individuals, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa where 70% of deaths from HIV occur. It often compromises quality of life both in those receiving antiretroviral therapy (
- Antioxidant supplementation for lung disease in cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2014
Airway infection leads to progressive damage of the lungs in cystic fibrosis and oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiology. Supplementation of antioxidant micronutrients (vitamin E, vitamin C, ß-carotene and selenium) or glutathione may therefo
- Antioxidant supplements for liver diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2011
Several liver diseases have been associated with oxidative stress. Accordingly, antioxidants have been suggested as potential therapeutics for various liver diseases. The evidence supporting these suggestions is equivocal.
- Antioxidant supplements for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and/or steatohepatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Sep-2008
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by fatty deposition in the hepatocytes of patients with minimal or no alcohol intake and without other known cause. NAFLD includes a wide spectrum of histologic abnormalities ranging from hepatic
- Antioxidant supplements for preventing gastrointestinal cancers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-May-2008
Oxidative stress may cause gastrointestinal cancers. The evidence on whether antioxidant supplements are effective in preventing gastrointestinal cancers is contradictory.
- Antioxidant supplements for prevention of mortality in healthy participants and patients with various diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2012
Our systematic review has demonstrated that antioxidant supplements may increase mortality. We have now updated this review.
- Antioxidant treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or motor neuron disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2011
Free radical accumulation and oxidative stress have been proposed as contributing to the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or motor neuron disease). A range of antioxidant medications have been studied. This is an updated review.
- Antioxidant treatments for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2016
There is accumulating evidence that progressive changes in brain structure and function take place as schizophrenia unfolds. Among many possible candidates, oxidative stress may be one of the mediators of neuroprogression, grey matter loss and subsequent
- Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for preventing age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2012
There is inconclusive evidence from observational studies to suggest that people who eat a diet rich in antioxidant vitamins (carotenoids, vitamins C and E) or minerals (selenium and zinc) may be less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AM
- Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for slowing the progression of age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2012
It has been proposed that antioxidants may prevent cellular damage in the retina by reacting with free radicals that are produced in the process of light absorption. Higher dietary levels of antioxidant vitamins and minerals may reduce the risk of progres
- Antioxidant vitamin supplementation for preventing and slowing the progression of age-related cataract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-May-2012
Age-related cataract is a major cause of visual impairment in the elderly. Oxidative stress has been implicated in its formation and progression. Antioxidant vitamin supplementation has been investigated in this context.
- Antioxidants and other pharmacological treatments for Friedreich ataxia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2012
Friedreich ataxia is a rare inherited autosomal recessive neurological disorder, characterised initially by unsteadiness in standing and walking, slowly progressing to wheelchair dependency usually in the late teens or early twenties. It is associated wit
- Antioxidants for chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2014
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease and death. Increased oxidative stress in people with CKD has been implicated as a potential causative factor for some cardiovascular diseases. Antioxidant thera
- Antioxidants for female subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2020
A couple may be considered to have fertility problems if they have been trying to conceive for over a year with no success. This may affect up to a quarter of all couples planning a child. It is estimated that for 40% to 50% of couples, subfertility may r
- Antioxidants for male subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-May-2022
The inability to have children affects 10% to 15% of couples worldwide. A male factor is estimated to account for up to half of the infertility cases with between 25% to 87% of male subfertility considered to be due to the effect of oxidative stress. Oral
- Antioxidants for pain in chronic pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Aug-2014
Reduced intake and absorption of antioxidants due to pain and malabsorption are probable causes of the lower levels of antioxidants observed in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). Improving the status of antioxidants might be effective in slowing the
- Antioxidants for preventing pre-eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2012
Oxidative stress has been proposed as a key factor involved in the development of pre-eclampsia. Supplementing women with antioxidants during pregnancy may help to counteract oxidative stress and thereby prevent or delay the onset of pre-eclampsia.
