Journal ArticleDOI
Memantine for dementia
Rupert McShane,Maggie J Westby,Emmert Roberts,Neda Minakaran,Lon S. Schneider,Lucy Farrimond,Nicola Maayan,Jennifer Ware,Jean Debarros +8 more
TL;DR: A small beneficial effect of memantine at six months in moderate to severe AD is suggested and the statistical significance of these benefits could be overturned by data from two unpublished studies which are known to show no significant effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Honey as a topical treatment for wounds
TL;DR: Honey healed infected post-operative wounds more quickly than antiseptic washes followed by gauze and was associated with fewer adverse events, but it is unclear if there is a difference in rates of adverse events (very low quality evidence) or infection (low quality evidence).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dressings and topical agents for treating venous leg ulcers
TL;DR: This review is a network meta-analysis which assesses the probability of complete ulcer healing associated with alternative dressings and topical agents in any care setting and ranks treatments in order of effectiveness, with assessment of uncertainty and evidence quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraoperative interventions for preventing surgical site infection: an overview of Cochrane Reviews
Zhenmi Liu,Jo C Dumville,Gill Norman,Maggie J Westby,Jane M Blazeby,Emma McFarlane,Nicky J Welton,Louise O'Connor,Julie Cawthorne,Ryan George,Emma J Crosbie,Amber D Rithalia,Hung-Yuan Cheng +12 more
TL;DR: An overview of Cochrane systematic reviews of the effectiveness and safety of interventions delivered during the intraoperative period, aimed at preventing SSIs in all populations undergoing surgery in an operating theatre, finds high- or moderate-certainty evidence for the following outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiseptics for burns
Gill Norman,Janice Christie,Zhenmi Liu,Maggie J Westby,Jayne M Jefferies,Thomas Hudson,Jacky Edwards,Devi Prasad Mohapatra,Ibrahim A Hassan,Jo C Dumville +9 more
TL;DR: There is moderate certainty evidence that, on average, burns treated with honey are probably more likely to heal over time compared with topical antibiotics, and there is no clear difference in the hazard of healing (chance of healing over time), between silver-based antiseptics and SSD.
