Postoperative cellulitis of the foot and lower leg following coronary bypass.
Greater saphenous vein grafts are standardly used for coronary artery bypass grafting. Recurrent acute cellulitis of the saphenous vein-donor extremity is an infrequently reported complication. The authors present a protocol designed to reduce the incidence of the recurrent cellulitis through proper preoperative assessment and postoperative management.

Healing of laser-induced defects of articular cartilage: preliminary studies.
The investigators have induced defects to the articular surfaces of knee joints in rabbits with the use of a CO2 laser. Subsequent healing of these defects have been studied and are described. This work has demonstrated healing with formation of fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage in two of eight cases. Further investigation with improved techniques will be undertaken in order to produce effective healing on a more consistent basis. This article also reviews previous investigation related to the healing of cartilage defects.

Laser safety in podiatry.
Lasers are being used more often in podiatric medicine than ever before. New modalities have certain characteristics that might endanger either the patient and/or the operator or the supportive staff. "Laser Safety in Podiatry" will outline the safety measures in patient protection, operator protection, and supportive staff protection.

Carbon dioxide laser methodology for ablation of plantar verrucae.
Treatment of plantar verrucae has been discussed frequently in medical literature. The present authors discuss a regimen that combines skin currettement with CO2 laser vaporization. They claim that this method provides predictable, successful results (54.5% to 89%) with additional advantages of diminished pain and reduced healing time.
