    Abstract Aim: An overview of a series of severe burn contractures in 44 hands reconstructed over a 20 month period with an easy to follow algorithm.
    Settings and design: The series was carried out by a single surgeon at Green Pastures Rehabilitation Centre in Pokhara, Nepal. All patients attending with severe burn contractures to the hand were included in the series.
    Materials and methods: This is a retrospective review of burn contractures in a total of 44 hands. All the contractures involved limitation of movement by 60 degrees in two or more joints or by 80 degrees in one joint. The decision making process is presented as a flow chart indicating when and which flaps were used.
    Results: Illustrations demonstrate what was achieved, with all hands obtaining an improvement in function.
    Conclusions: Although many of these contractures can be dealt with by skin grafting the series clearly illustrates the indications for flap coverage.

    Abstract Perforator flaps are well established as a versatile option in reconstructive surgery that provide thin, pliable cutaneous or fasciocutaneous tissue. They are particularly useful in the reconstruction of large shallow defects, such as after the release of a burn contracture, however there are situations where the additional time spent islanding these flaps may be unnecessary, and the flap is then essentially a fasciocutaneous flap based, but not islanded, on a perforator artery. This paper documents a series of 22 severe burn contractures in 17 patients reconstructed with fasciocutaneous flaps in this way. The arteries were all located pre-operatively with a hand held Doppler probe, around half at the site of a known perforator and half by systematic scanning of the surrounding skin for an ad hoc perforator. All patients achieved a good functional range of motion. There were three cases of partial superficial flap necrosis treated with split skin grafting. The functional and aesthetic outcomes were far better then those expected with split skin grafting, and published series show that contractures treated with perforator flaps are unlikely to ever need further surgery. Without islanding the flap it becomes a feasible option for reconstructing these patients even in the extremely resource poor environment in which they often present, and is an option for all plastic surgeons to consider in the reconstruction of large superficial defects.

    Abstract Floral development was compared among several relatively unspecialized taxa in caesalpinioid tribe Detarieae: Cynometra webberi, an undescribed species of Cynometra, and three species of Schotia. These share a relatively unspecialized caesalpinioid flower type with no loss of organs, but some organ suppression. They also share the following characters: relatively small bracteoles in early stages, a circular floral apex, helical sepal initiation, and a nonmedian abaxial position of the first sepal initiated. Floral symmetry is radial. Order of initiation is helical among sepals in all. Order of petal initiation varies: helical in Schotia afra, unidirectional in Schotia brachypetala and S. latifolia, and simultaneous in Cynometra. Stamens are initiated unidirectionally in all except in the outer stamen whorl of Schotia afra, which is helical. Overlap of time of initiation between whorls occurs in S. brachypetala, S. latifolia, and Cynometra. The carpel initiates concurrently with the petals or directly thereafter in all. A tetramerous calyx results from fusion of the two upper (adaxial) sepal primordia. The carpel initiates ovules before marginal closure in both genera. Organ suppression includes one or two petals in Schotia and sometimes one in Cynometra.

  4. Article: Evolutionary loss of sepals and/or petals in detarioid legume taxa Aphanocalyx, Brachystegia, and Monopetalanthus (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae).

    Abstract Floral development using scanning electron microscopy is compared in several taxa of the Brachystegia subtribal group of caesalpinioid tribe Detariae. This group is characterized by missing sepals and/or petals. In Aphanocalyx djumaensis, Monopetalanthus durandii, and two Brachystegia species, one sepal is initiated in median abaxial position. In the first two, one or two additional sepal rudiments may initiate late. Brachystegia species have all five sepals, which remain scalelike. In Aphanocalyx and Monopetalanthus, one petal initiates adaxially and medianly (a position atypical for the first initiated petal in the family); additional petal rudiments may form in lateral sites. In Brachystegia, five petals are initiated unidirectionally on a meristem ring, but all are suppressed after initiation. In all taxa, ten stamens are initiated on a ring meristem: unidirectionally in Monopetalanthus, bidirectionally in Brachystegia, vs. in erratic order in Aphanocalyx. Carpel and petal initiation are concurrent. Different organ whorls overlap in time in Monopetalanthus and Brachystegia. In all, the floral apex characteristically is elongate radially and narrow tangentially after bracteole initiation. Two ontogenetic features, the meristem ring and the radially elongate post-bracteole floral apex, appear to be possible synapomorphies for the Brachystegia group.

    Abstract Floral development was compared among three taxa in caesalpinioid tribe Detarieae sensu lato: Amherstia nobilis and Tamarindus indica have racemose, helically arranged inflorescences, while Brownea latifolia has cauliflorous capitate flower clusters that arise as racemes. All have acropetal flower order; initiation and development are sequential in all except Brownea, which is synchronous. All have paired persistent showy bracteoles. Floral symmetry is dorsiventral (zygomorphic) in all except Brownea, with radial symmetry at anthesis. Sepals initiate helically on a circular floral apex, starting with a median abaxial sepal, in all. Petals are initiated helically in Brownea, and unidirectionally in Amherstia and Tamarindus. Stamens are initiated unidirectionally in each stamen whorl in all except Amherstia, in which the outer whorl is bidirectional. The carpel initiates concurrently with the petals in Brownea, and with the outer stamens in the other taxa. The two upper (adaxial) sepal primordia become fused during development in all, so that the calyx appears tetramerous. Some reduced petals occur in Amherstia and Tamarindus, and some reduced stamens occur in all. All produce a hypanthium by zonal growth, and all except Tamarindus have the gynoecium attached adaxially to the hypanthial rim.

    Abstract Floral organogeny and development are described in Cadia purpurea, a legume with radial symmetry, unstable petal aestivation, and free organs, all unusual features among papilionoids. Flowers are usually solitary or, rarely, in few-flowered racemes. No bracteoles are formed. The order of organ initiation is unidirectional in each whorl, and the carpel initiates directly after petal initiation. The petal primordia remain small until all other floral organs have initiated, enlarged, and differentiated. Petal aestivation is variable, unlike the great majority of papilionoid flowers. Petal margins of Cadia grow straight outward rather than some petal margins curving inward inside the adjacent petal as is the case in other papilionoids. When adjacent growing petal margins of Cadia meet, chance determines which petal becomes positioned inside the other. Hence, the pattern of petal aestivation is random.
