Conclusion: The results suggest that coumarin/troxerutine have a favourable effect in the treatment of radiogenic sialadenitis and mucositis.
On the other hand, there is some evidence that tamoxifen has a favourable effect in lipid profile [139 141].
The treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with glatiramer acetate entailed cost savings when compared to interferon-β in patients with spasticity, which not only resulted from its lower costs of therapy and relapse management but also from its favourable effect on reducing spasticity.
The administration of glatiramer acetate for RRMS entailed cost savings after six months of treatment when compared to interferon-β in patients with spasticity, which not only resulted from its lower costs of therapy and relapse management but also from its favourable effect on reducing spasticity.
Albumin dialysis results in favourable effects in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis, because hepatic encephalopathy improved in all cases.
Other favourable effects reported include reduced time to full enteral feeds, improved weight gain, colonisation rates and immune responses in the probiotic versus placebo group [ 38- 43].
A recent study has found favourable effects of contraceptive use in reducing infant deaths in second and higher order births.
Although gelatin administration did not influence neutrophil infiltration, NF-κB activation, proinflammatory cytokines levels, ICAM-1 mRNA expression and myeloperoxidase activity in a septic model [ 17], a moderate favourable effect on inflammation was indicated, reducing the Ba fragment of the complement cascade [ 24] and impairing the firm leukocyte adhesion in an in vitro model [ 23].
Lactation also has many favourable effects on women, including reducing the incidence of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome [ 1, 2], cardiovascular disease [ 3, 4] and cancer [ 5].
