Antiseptics and Disinfectants for the Treatment Of
Verstraelen et al. BMC Infectious Diseases 2012, 12:148 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/12/148 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antiseptics and disinfectants for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis: A systematic review Hans Verstraelen1*, Rita Verhelst2, Kristien Roelens1 and Marleen Temmerman1,2 Abstract Background: The study objective was to assess the available data on efficacy and tolerability of antiseptics and disinfectants in treating bacterial vaginosis (BV). Methods: A systematic search was conducted by consulting PubMed (1966-2010), CINAHL (1982-2010), IPA (1970- 2010), and the Cochrane CENTRAL databases. Clinical trials were searched for by the generic names of all antiseptics and disinfectants listed in the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System under the code D08A. Clinical trials were considered eligible if the efficacy of antiseptics and disinfectants in the treatment of BV was assessed in comparison to placebo or standard antibiotic treatment with metronidazole or clindamycin and if diagnosis of BV relied on standard criteria such as Amsel’s and Nugent’s criteria. Results: A total of 262 articles were found, of which 15 reports on clinical trials were assessed. Of these, four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were withheld from analysis. Reasons for exclusion were primarily the lack of standard criteria to diagnose BV or to assess cure, and control treatment not involving placebo or standard antibiotic treatment. Risk of bias for the included studies was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias. Three studies showed non-inferiority of chlorhexidine and polyhexamethylene biguanide compared to metronidazole or clindamycin. One RCT found that a single vaginal douche with hydrogen peroxide was slightly, though significantly less effective than a single oral dose of metronidazole. -

Neuroprotection in Alzheimer's Disease
Chapter 8 Neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disorder of the brain that begins with memory impairment and eventually progresses to dementia, physical impairment, and death. Patients develop various psychiatric and neurological signs during the course of the disease. The prevalence rates of dementia vary significantly in different countries, but range from 2.1 to 10.5%. AD is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 50–60% of all cases, and is described in detail in a special report on AD (Jain 2010). Several other types of dementias are considered in the differential diagnosis of AD and sometimes all the dementias are lumped together if the type is not known. Other well-known types of dementias are vascular dementia, dementia of aging, and dementia associated with HIV infection. The focus of this section is on AD and some other dementias will be described in Chap. 11. Pathomechanism of Alzheimer’s Disease Several factors that play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of AD include the following: • Aging • Genetic risk factors • Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-amyloid (Ab) accumulation with neural and vascular sequelae • Tau hyperphosphorylation • Membrane disturbances, phospholipid metabolism, and disruption of signal transduction • Inflammatory reactions and immunological disturbances • Environmental toxins: trace metals • Neurotransmitter defects and imbalances K.K. Jain, The Handbook of Neuroprotection, DOI 10.1007/978-1-61779-049-2_8, 337 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 338 8 Neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s Disease • Neuroendocrine disturbances • Oxidative injury and free radicals • Disturbances in regulation and receptors of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) Such a large number of factors in the etiology of AD are responsible for the plethora of theories of cause of AD. -
