In the pediatric population, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a challenging condition that leads to chronic psychosocial dysfunction. This case is of a 12-year-old male patient, 50.ßkg, who, after twisting his right ankle, started to present intense pain. Without adequate diagnosis and treatment, his family sought a pain specialist. During the evaluation, a change in sensitivity and temperature was observed, besides hyperalgesia, allodynia, redness, edema, and motor dysfunction, being diagnosed with CRPS. Ultrasound-guided sciatic blocks were performed on the affected limb, increasing the interval between crises, reducing pain intensity, and promoting a return to daily activities.

Clarifying the pore-throat size and pore size distribution of tight sandstone reservoirs, quantitatively characterizing the heterogeneity of pore-throat structures, is crucial for evaluating reservoir effectiveness and predicting productivity. Through a series of rock physics experiments including gas measurement of porosity and permeability, casting thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and high-pressure mercury injection, the quality of reservoir properties and microscopic pore-throat structure characteristics were systematically studied. Combined with fractal geometry theory, the effects of different pore throat types, geometric shapes and scale sizes on the fractal characteristics and heterogeneity of sandstone pore throat structure are clarified.
