Background: The knowledge about the effective implementation of corticosteroid injection (CS) with deep transverse friction massage (DTFM) and Mill's manipulation (MM) on clinical and radiological changes (Magnetic resonance imaging-MRI and Ultra sound) in lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is lacking. Therefore, the objective of this study is proposed to find and compare the effects of corticosteroid injection (CS) DTFM and Mill's manipulation on clinical and radiological changes in lateral epicondylalgia.
Design, Setting, Participants: Randomized, single-blinded, controlled study was conducted on 60 LE participants at university hospital. The active MM group (n = 30) received corticosteroid injection with DTFM and active Mill's manipulation (MM) three sessions a week for 4 weeks and the sham MM group received corticosteroid injection with sham manipulation. The primary outcome was pain intensity, measured with the visual analog scale. The other outcome measures were percentage of injury measured by MRI and ultrasound, functional disability, handgrip strength, patient perception, kinesiophobia, depression status and quality of life which were measured at 4 weeks, 8weeks and at 6 months follow up.
Results: The between-group difference in pain intensity at 4 weeks was 1.6 (CI 95% 0.97 to 2.22), which shows improvement in the active group than sham group. The similar effects have been noted after 8 weeks and at 6 months 2.0 (CI 95% 1.66 to 2.33) follow up in pain intensity. Similar improvements were also found on percentage of injury, functional disability, handgrip strength, patient perception, kinesiophobia, depression status and quality of life (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Corticosteroid injection with DTFM and Mill's manipulation was superior to sham group for improving pain, percentage of injury, functional disability, handgrip strength, patient perception, kinesiophobia, depression status and quality of life in people with lateral epicondylalgia.

Objectives: Rotator cuff tendinitis (RCT) is a tendon inflammation often following subacromial impingement syndrome. One of the non-surgical management modalities for RCT is subacromial injection of corticosteroids. Some studies have claimed a correlation between ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) deficiency and rotator cuff lesions; hence, intramuscular ACTH analogue injection has been recommended as an option.

Biotherapeutics are among the therapeutics that have revolutionized standard inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, which was previously limited to mesalamine, 5-aminosalicylic acid, corticosteroids, and classical immunosuppressants. Self-administrable biotherapeutics for IBD would enable home-based treatment and reduce the burden on medical infrastructure. Self-administration is made possible through subcutaneous injectable, oral, and rectal dosage forms.

Septic shock involves severe systemic inflammatory reaction toward various invading species, such as microorganisms and microbial toxins. Such a response is complicated and characterized as being a dynamic and time-dependent phenomenon. During this response, a significant amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be produced, causing a rapid death rate in septic victims and occasionally leading to apoptosis of immune cells within the first hours of septic reaction.

Chronic tendinopathy is a degenerative condition characterized by persistent pain, functional limitations, and tendon thickening, often resulting from repetitive overuse or failed tendon healing. Left untreated, it can progress to tendon rupture, prolonged disability, and impaired quality of life. Management typically includes conservative therapies, such as physical therapy, corticosteroid (CS) injections for short-term relief, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a regenerative therapy with potential long-term benefits.

These conditions often are treated with conservative measures, including corticosteroid injections into the iliopsoas bursa. However, the clinical effectiveness of such injections has not been well studied.
