[Prophylactic plexus catheter treatment in operations following complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)].

 This paper investigates and discusses the effect of perioperative plexus catheter treatment in former CRPS patients. A retrospective matched-pair analysis was conducted on 10 CRPS patients with comparable injuries, who underwent surgery in the disease-free interval. In 10 cases, the procedure was performed with perioperative plexus catheter treatment (intervention group), whereas 10 patients did not receive perioperative plexus catheter treatment (control group).

Refinement of Tissue-Engineering Chamber Implantation in the Rat.

Purpose: Rodent in vivo models that successfully generate new adipose, muscle, or vascular tissue in a tissue-engineering chamber (TEC) has advanced in the last decade. In this article, technical refinements in these operative foreign body implantations have been described to improve the execution of animal models in a way so that they can reduce wastage of time and resources.

Materials & Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied and randomly divided into two equal sized groups.
