- Surgical versus non‐surgical management for pleural empyema
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2017
Empyema refers to pus in the pleural space, commonly due to adjacent pneumonia, chest wall injury, or a complication of thoracic surgery. A range of therapeutic options are available for its management, ranging from percutaneous aspiration and intercostal
- Surgical versus non-surgical management of abdominal injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Nov-2015
Injury to the abdomen can be blunt or penetrating. Abdominal injury can damage internal organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, intestine, and large blood vessels. There are controversies about the best approach to manage abdominal injuries.
- Surgical versus non-surgical management of pleural empyema
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2009
Pleural empyema is a collection of pus between the lungs and the chest wall. There is debate about treatment options with the advent of both fibrinolytic enzymes to facilitate tube drainage and less invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
- Surgical versus non‐surgical treatment for acute anterior shoulder dislocation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2004
Acute anterior dislocation is the commonest type of shoulder dislocation. Subsequently, the shoulder is less stable and more susceptible to redislocation, especially in active young adults.
- Surgical versus non‐surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2008
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from entrapment of the median nerve in the wrist. Common symptoms are tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand that may radiate to the forearm or shoulder. Most symptomatic cases are treated non-surgically.
- Surgical versus non‐surgical treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jan-2016
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a debilitating condition associated with degeneration of the spine with aging.
- Surgical versus non‐surgical treatment for thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurological deficit
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2013
Spinal burst fractures result from the failure of both the anterior and the middle columns of the spine under axial compression loads. Conservative management is through bed rest and immobilisation once the acute symptoms have settled. Surgical treatment
- Surveillance of gastric intestinal metaplasia for the prevention of gastric cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Sep-2013
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is the second leading cause of cancer related death in the world. Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a recognised premalignant condition of the stomach. It has been described as occurring in up to one in five patients in
- Survival differences with immediate versus delayed chemotherapy for asymptomatic incurable metastatic colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Nov-2018
For patients with asymptomatic, incurable, metastatic colorectal cancer, palliative, systemic treatment can be started immediately, or can be delayed until disease-related symptoms occur. How the potential survival benefit of starting palliative, systemic
- Sustained versus standard inflations during neonatal resuscitation to prevent mortality and improve respiratory outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Mar-2020
At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable gas exchange. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure v
- Sustained‐Release Naltrexone For Opioid Dependence
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2008
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist which effectively blocks heroin effects. Since opioid dependence treatment with naltrexone tablets suffers from high dropout rates, several depot injections and implants are under investigation. Sustained-release formula
- Swallowing therapy for dysphagia in acute and subacute stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Oct-2018
Dysphagia (swallowing problems), which is common after stroke, is associated with increased risk of death or dependency, occurrence of pneumonia, poor quality of life, and longer hospital stay. Treatments provided to improve dysphagia are aimed at acceler
- Sweet potato for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2013
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is among the most nutritious subtropical and tropical vegetables. It is also used in traditional medicine practices for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Research in animal and human models suggests a possible role of sweet potato i
- Sweet tasting solutions for reduction of needle‐related procedural pain in children aged one to 16 years
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-May-2015
Extensive evidence exists showing analgesic effects of sweet solutions for newborns and infants. It is less certain if the same analgesic effects exist for children one year to 16 years of age. This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review pu
- Sweet‐tasting solutions for needle‐related procedural pain in infants one month to one year of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Administration of oral sucrose or glucose with and without non-nutritive sucking is frequently used as a non-pharmacological intervention for needle-related procedural pain relief in infants.
- Swimming training for asthma in children and adolescents aged 18 years and under
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2013
Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition in children and a common reason for hospitalisation. Observational studies have suggested that swimming, in particular, is an ideal form of physical activity to improve fitness and decrease the burden of
- Symphysial fundal height (SFH) measurement in pregnancy for detecting abnormal fetal growth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2015
Symphysis fundal height (SFH) measurement is commonly practiced primarily to detect fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Undiagnosed IUGR may lead to fetal death as well as increase perinatal mortality and morbidity.
