The present protocol describes the maceration and cleaning of cadaveric bone with a vacuum-sealed, hot water bath immersion technique. This is a low-cost, safe, and effective method to produce anatomical specimens for surgical planning and medical education as an alternative to three-dimensional (3D) printed models.

Source: Robert M. Rioux, Ajay Sathe & Zhifeng Chen, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Vacuum is required for a number of laboratory procedures. This is most routinely achieved in the laboratory by the use of vacuum pumps. In addition to working at low pressures, vacuum pumps can also be used to enable rapid changing of the atmospheres in a reactor or flask by evacuation and backfilling.

Acid Mine Drainage

Mining activities that disturb sulfide-rich rocks, particularly those containing pyrite (FeS₂), initiate a cascade of geochemical and microbiological processes with serious environmental implications. When exposed to air and water, pyrite undergoes oxidation, releasing sulfate, ultimately forming sulfuric acid and mobilizing heavy metals into surrounding water systems. This phenomenon, known as acid mine drainage (AMD), results in low pH waters laden with toxic elements that threaten aquatic...

We present a method to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and to create a system which lacks CSF within the embryonic zebrafish brain ventricular system. This allows for further examination of CSF composition and its requirement during embryonic brain development.
FAQs
Controlled negative pressure draws exudate through the porous dressing and drainage tube, helping limit fluid accumulation at the wound site. This drainage supports a more controlled local environment, while the applied suction also contributes to wound contraction and the development of healthy granulation tissue over time.
Each component has a distinct role. The porous dressing covers the wound and permits exudate to reach the drainage pathway, while the tube carries that material away under suction. Sealing the arrangement helps maintain the intended pressure conditions and a controlled interface for ongoing wound management.
Fluid accumulation can complicate management of complex or infected wounds. By removing exudate and reducing retained fluid, the system helps preserve the local conditions needed for wound contraction and healthy granulation tissue formation. These changes may prepare the wound for later closure or reconstruction, making pressure-assisted drainage relevant when wound beds require continued treatment.
Application begins with placement of a porous dressing and drainage tube over the wound. The assembly is sealed, then connected to controlled suction. Exudate is removed through this pathway while clinicians continue wound monitoring, using the changing wound condition to guide ongoing management and preparation for closure or reconstruction.
Its clinical use is especially relevant when wounds are complex, infected, or associated with tissue injury after surgery. In postoperative care and trauma management, it provides a way to combine exudate removal with continued local wound control. It is also used in soft-tissue infection treatment, where drainage remains important.
The intended outcome is not simply fluid removal. As exudate decreases and the wound contracts, formation of healthy granulation tissue can indicate progress toward a wound bed suitable for closure or reconstruction. Ongoing monitoring remains important because treatment occurs in wounds requiring assessment of drainage and local conditions.
