Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas) are the most common benign pelvic tumours among women. They may be asymptomatic, or may be associated with pelvic symptoms such as bleeding and pain. Medical treatment of this condition is limited and gonadotro
- Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE‐III) and mini‐ACE for the detection of dementia and mild cognitive impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2019
The number of new cases of dementia is projected to rise significantly over the next decade. Thus, there is a pressing need for accurate tools to detect cognitive impairment in routine clinical practice. The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III (ACE-II

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends parasitological testing of all suspected malaria cases using malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) or microscopy prior to treatment. Some governments have extended this responsibility to community health wor
- Addition of anti‐leukotriene agents to inhaled corticosteroids for adults and adolescents with persistent asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Mar-2017
Asthma management guidelines recommend low-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as first-line therapy for adults and adolescents with persistent asthma. The addition of anti-leukotriene agents to ICS offers a therapeutic option in cases of suboptimal contro
