Arthritis remains a relatively infrequent complication of cystic fibrosis, but is a cause of significant morbidity when it does occur. Two distinct types of arthritis are described in cystic fibrosis: cystic fibrosis-related arthropathy (CFA) and hypertro
- Anti‐inflammatory treatment for carditis in acute rheumatic fever

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

- 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 vitamin and mineral supplements for preventing age‐related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2017
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 (A
- Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for slowing the progression of age‐related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2017
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
- 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.
