This project required several medical literature searches and the retrieval of relevant resources. Female genital prolapse is characterized by a portion of the vaginal canal protruding from the opening of the vagina. The condition usually occurs when the pelvic floor collapses. [...]

Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a common treatment option for many forms of low back pain and leg pain. This project required a medical literature search and resource retrieval. The literature search examined ESIs in the context of particulate vs. non-particulate steroids. Particulate steroids have been used in epidural injections for decades. In recent years, [...]
