Interventions for renal vasculitis in adults
Renal vasculitis causes damage to the small blood vessels inside the kidneys and - when untreated - can lead to a rapid loss of kidney function. Therapies that block the immune system to switch off the vasculitis process are available but can lead to serious infections and other long-term complications. The Cochrane Review of treatments to induce and maintain disease remission for renal vasculitis was updated in January 2020 and we asked lead author, Giles Walters from Canberra Hospital in Australia to bring us up-to-date with the findings.

Which medicines work best to prevent people from being sick (vomiting) after an operation?
Many people experience nausea or vomiting after surgery and dozens of drugs have been tested to prevent it. A new Cochrane review from October 2020 brings together all the trials in a network meta-analysis and we asked senior author Peter Kranke from the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the University Hospital Wuerzburg in Germany to tell us about the importance of the review and what this vast amount of research tells us.
