The modified curriculum was designed for Indigenous men and is thematically based on traditional values, ancestral teachings, and community strengths while promoting healthy lifestyles.

- Both transforaminal and interlaminar approaches are common for epidural steroid injections, but their effectiveness for pain relief has shown mixed results in previous studies.
- This study aimed to compare the impact of these two methods on patient-reported pain severity, specifically looking at the percentage reduction in pain levels.
- Results revealed that patients receiving transforaminal injections had a significantly higher likelihood of experiencing at least a 50% reduction in leg pain compared to those receiving interlaminar injections, indicating that the transforaminal approach may be more effective for certain patients.
Background: Is there a statistically significant association between preoperative epidural steroid injections (ESI) and postoperative cervical and lumbar spinal surgery infections (SSI)?
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was completed of patients 18 years or older who underwent elective cervical or lumbar spinal surgery. Those who underwent surgery with preoperative ESI were compared to those without. We assessed for differences in postoperative SSI incidence.
Background: Whether circulating sex hormones modulate mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in aging men is controversial.
Purpose: To clarify associations of sex hormones with these outcomes.
Data Sources: Systematic literature review to July 2019, with bridge searches to March 2024.
