A 'snip' in time: what is the best age to circumcise?
pubmed.gov - 1/1/12
Circumcision is a common procedure, but regional and societal attitudes differ on whether there is a need for a male to be circumcised and, if so, at what age. This is an important issue for many parents, but also pediatricians, other doctors, policy makers, public health authorities, medical bodies, and males themselves.|We show here that infancy is an optimal time for clinical circumcision because an infant's low mobility facilitates the use of local anesthesia, sutures are not required, healing is quick, cosmetic outcome is usually excellent, costs are minimal, and complications are uncommon. The benefits of infant circumcision include prevention of urinary tract infections (a cause of renal scarring), reduction in risk of inflammatory foreskin conditions such as balanoposthitis, foreskin injuries, phimosis and paraphimosis. When the boy later becomes sexually active he has substantial protection against risk of HIV and other viral sexually transmitted infections such as genital
Antidepressants for patients with tinnitus.
pubmed.gov - 1/1/12
This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 4, 2006 and previously updated in 2009.Tinnitus is described as the perception of sound or noise in the absence of real acoustic stimulation. It has been compared with chronic pain, and may be associated with depression or depressive symptoms which can affect quality of life and the ability to work. Antidepressant drugs have been used to treat tinnitus in patients with and without depressive symptoms.|To assess the effectiveness of antidepressants in the treatment of tinnitus and to ascertain whether any benefit is due to a direct tinnitus effect or a secondary effect due to treatment of concomitant depressive states.|We searched the Cochrane Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Group Trials Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); PubMed; EMBASE; PsycINFO; CINAHL; Web of Science; BIOSIS; ICTRP and additional sources for published and unpublished trials.

Clinical practice guideline for abnormal uterine bleeding: hysterectomy versus alternative therapy.
pubmed.gov - 12/25/11
To develop recommendations in selecting treatments for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).|Clinical practice guidelines.|Randomized clinical trials compared bleeding, quality of life, pain, sexual health, satisfaction, the need for subsequent surgery, and adverse events between hysterectomy and less-invasive treatment options.|Women with AUB, predominantly from ovulatory disorders and endometrial causes.|On the basis of findings from a systematic review, clinical practice guidelines were developed. Rating the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations followed the Grades for Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system.|This paper identified few high-quality studies that directly compared uterus-preserving treatments (endometrial ablation, levonorgestrel intrauterine system and systemically administered medications) with hysterectomy. The evidence from these randomized clinical trials demonstrated that there are trade-offs between hysterectomy and
Meta-analysis showing the beneficial effect of -blockers on ureteric stent discomfort.
pubmed.gov - 12/1/11
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Ureteric stents cause significant discomfort and this is probably related to ureteric smooth muscle spasm and trigonal irritation. Alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists reduce smooth muscle activity and are already widely used in medical expulsive therapy to aid passage of ureteric calculi. This meta-analysis incorporating five randomized controlled trials provides evidence that alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists reduce stent-related pain and storage symptoms as assessed by the Ureteric Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ).|To evaluate the efficacy of -blockers with respect to improving stent-related symptoms. Ureteric stents remain a source of marked discomfort and their placement is often required after certain ureteroscopic procedures or in the acute setting. This analysis identifies and reviews the several studies that have investigated the role of -blockers after stent placement.|Pubmed/Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL
Is there a role for -blockers in ureteral stent related symptoms? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
pubmed.gov - 9/1/11
We evaluated the efficacy of -blockers to improve ureteral stent related morbidity and quality of life.|We performed a search of MEDLINE, Embase and The Cochrane Library plus a hand search of conference proceedings from January 2000 to October 2010 to identify randomized, controlled trials comparing treatment for ureteral stent symptoms with -blockers. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data. Trial methodological quality was assessed by The Cochrane Collaboration quality assessment tool. Placebo randomized, controlled trials with the ureteral stent symptom questionnaire as the outcome were eligible for meta-analysis. Meta-analysis was done using the mean difference to determine the aggregate effect size.|A total of 12 randomized, controlled trials including 2 -blockers in a total of 946 patients were eligible, including 4 (33%) presented only as an abstract at a urological meeting and 4 (33%) eligible for meta-analysis. Meta-analysis using a random
