Effectiveness of neuraminidase inhibitors in reducing mortality in patients admitted to hospital with influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection: a meta-analysis of individual participant data.

Stella G. Muthuri, +87 more
TL;DR: There was an increase in the mortality hazard rate with each day's delay in initiation of treatment up to day 5 as compared with treatment initiated within 2 days of symptom onset, and early treatment versus no treatment was also associated with a reduction in mortality risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caffeine Can Decrease Insulin Sensitivity in Humans

TL;DR: Caffeine can decrease insulin sensitivity in healthy humans, possibly as a result of elevated plasma epinephrine levels, and peripheral adenosine receptor antagonism does not appear to contribute to this effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservative versus Interventional Treatment for Spontaneous Pneumothorax.

TL;DR: Although the primary outcome was not statistically robust to conservative assumptions about missing data, the trial provides modest evidence that conservative management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax was noninferior to interventional management, with a lower risk of serious adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distal Ureteric Stones and Tamsulosin: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Multicenter Trial

TL;DR: No benefit was found overall of 0.4 mg of tamsulosin daily for patients with distal ureteric calculi less than or equal to 10 mm in terms of spontaneous passage, time to stone passage, pain, or analgesia requirements, but in the subgroup with large stones, tamsULosin did increase passage and should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Appropriateness of antibiotic prescribing in the Emergency Department

TL;DR: Inappropriate administration of antibiotics can lead to unnecessary adverse events, treatment failure and antimicrobial resistance, and there is a pressing need to develop initiatives to improve antibiotic prescribing to prevent antibiotic-associated patient and community harms.
