Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of the Sit Less, Walk More (SLWM) workplace intervention.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental design. A total of 99 office workers from two workplaces participated in this study. The 12-week intervention included five components: monthly newsletters, motivational tools, pedometer challenge, environmental prompts, and walking route. The comparison group received monthly newsletters only.
Results: Generalized estimating equation analyses showed that the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in weight (P = 0.029), waist circumference (P = 0.038), diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.001), walking (P < 0.001), moderate-intensity physical activity (P = 0.014), and total physical activity (P = 0.003) relative to the comparison group. A significant improvement in lost-productivity was observed in both groups (P = 0.003 to 0.008).
Conclusions: The SLWM workplace intervention can improve worker health and lost-productivity.

Intergenerational games offer a potential channel to impact parent-youth sexual health communication. The "Secret of Seven Stones" (SSS) is an 18-level online adventure game and parent website designed to engage parents and youth (11-14 years) in conversations about healthy dating relationships and sexual behavior and to provide sexual health skills training to youth. Study hypotheses were that SSS exposure would increase sexual health parent-child communication, increase youth intentions to delay sexual debut, and reduce youth exposure to situations that promote sexual activity.

Background: Rotator cuff injuries are very common in the athletic population and both corticosteroid injections and platelets enriched plasma (PRP) are common management options used in clinical practice yet there aren't any recent systematic reviews that compare between the two, thus, this study aims to provide a high-quality systematic review of the clinical trials and the experimentation found in the literature as of yet to guide practitioners in choosing between these two management options.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance to PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD4202461663). A comprehensive search was done in the following databases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar.

ObjectiveLower extremity varicose veins are a common chronic venous disorder, affecting approximately 23% of adults globally. Although endovenous thermal ablation, particularly radiofrequency ablation (RFA), has become the preferred treatment, post-procedural deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a concern. The necessity of pharmacologic prophylaxis following RFA remains controversial.
