EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS IN LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION- EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS FROM 72 RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIALS (RCTS) AND A TOTAL OF 7701 PATIENTS

Epidural steroid injections in lumbar disc herniation- Evidence synthesis from 72 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and a total of 7701 patients

Introduction: The role of epidural steroid injection in treating sciatica still remains debatable.Research question: To compare epidural steroid injection with other manipulations in terms of pain control, quality of life and other parameters (Q1), compare the various available ESI alternatives regarding the approach (Q2), compare ESI to analgesia

Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 Facilitates Intracellular Uptake of RNA Aptamer Apt 21-2 Without Inducing an Inflammatory or Interferon Response

RNA aptamers are synthetic single stranded RNA oligonucleotides that function analogously to antibodies.Recently, they have shown promise for use in treating inflammatory skin disease as, unlike antibody-based biologics, they are able to enter the skin following topical administration.However, it is important to understand the inflammatory milieu i
