Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jun-2019
Thyroid disease is the second most common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Subclinical hypothyroidism is diagnosed by an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone concentration with a normal concentration of free thyroxine hormone. Autoi

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Oct-2019
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition that affects up to 1% of the population. Nearly 30% of people with epilepsy are resistant to currently available antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and require treatment with multiple antiepileptic drugs in combination.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2001
A two to four week course of ticlopidine plus aspirin following coronary stenting is considered effective in preventing thrombotic occlusion of the stented vessel and safe in regards to bleeding and peripheral vascular complications. However, rare, althou
- Tidal versus other forms of peritoneal dialysis for acute kidney injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2012
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have shown that dialysis dose was a major factor associated with patient survival. Unresolved questions persist about which mode of peritoneal dialysis (PD) s

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2011
The question of the target blood pressure in pregnant women with mild-moderate hypertension continues to be an area of debate.
- Time course for blood pressure lowering of beta‐blockers with partial agonist activity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Sep-2020
Beta-blockers are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension. We do not know whether the blood pressure (BP) lowering efficacy of beta-blockers varies across the day. This review focuses on the subclass of beta-blockers with partial agonist activity (

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2016
Reablement, also known as restorative care, is one possible approach to home-care services for older adults at risk of functional decline. Unlike traditional home-care services, reablement is frequently time-limited (usually six to 12 weeks) and aims to m
- Timing and volume of fluid administration for patients with bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2014
