This study seeks to evaluate the impact of intra-operative topical epidural steroid usage in patients undergoing 1-2 level lumbar laminectomy. The study will examine post-operative opioid usage, length of stay, return to work, and patient reported outcomes following these procedures.

This initial study is a feasibility study for implementing thoracolumbar interfascial plane, or TLIP, blocks in older adults undergoing spinal fusion. TLIP blocks are done by using anesthesia. In this case, it will be done to either side of the back where surgery will be performed. This has been shown to decrease pain the patients have post-operatively in previous research. In this study, the investigators will examine recruitment rates, completion of assessments, dropout rate, gather patient feedback, and identify barriers to performing TLIP. Further, this feasibility study will provide data to determine adequate sample size and refine methods and outcomes for a future randomized clinical trial. The ultimate goal is to perform a large, appropriately powered randomized control trial to determine the effect of TLIP blocks on pain, physical function and disability, opioid consumption, and delirium in older adult undergoing spinal fusion.

Pregnancy is known as a period associated with important physiological and psychological changes in women's lives. There is moderately sufficient evidence in the literature to recommend supplementing prenatal physical activity for maternal health benefits. It has been reported that physical exercise by pregnant women in the absence of obstetric contraindications will not pose a risk to the health of the mother and fetus. In the literature, there are no studies examining the effects of reformer pilates on pain, functional capacity, lumbopelvic stabilization, diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal muscle thickness, respiratory functions, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, sexual function, and venous insufficiency in pregnant women. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of reformer pilates on pain, functional capacity, lumbopelvic stabilization, diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal muscle thickness, respiratory functions, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, sexual function, and venous insufficiency in pregnant women.
