ABSTRACT Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook. F.; Asteraceae), is one of the most economically important ornamental plants due to its aesthetic value. In present study, we established a micropropagation method for large-scale production quality planting material gerbera ‘Pink Melody’. Eighty-six percent capitulum explants produced adventitious shoots (15.44 ± 0.34 per capitulum) on Murashi...

The treatment of injuries about the elbow joint in young children forms an important part of the work of any traumatic unit. Fracture-separation of the capitulum is comparatively common ; complete descriptions occur in the text-books, and many articles have been written on the subject. But a similar injury of the trochlea or medial condyle is unusual, and no adequate account of the condition ca...

The genera Moscharia (two species) and Polyachyrus (seven species) form a monophyletic group within tribe Mutisieae, subtribe Nassauviinae, defined by the leaves with auricles at their bases, and the capitula with 1-seriate involucre. A cladistic analysis of the species of the two genera was carried out using 22 characters from life cycle, external morphology, pollen, and trichomes. Polarity of...

Described in this paper is a therapeutic concept by which to cope with Monteggia's fracture in childhood. It is based on experience obtained from 72 cases with injuries of that kind and their evaluation in a group study. Therapeutic approach to the individual case was determined by the following criteria: age of infant, localisation and shape of ulnar fracture, reducibility of capitulum radii, ...

This study evaluates the exposure of the distal humerus articular surface obtained using a triceps hemi-peel approach versus the triceps-flexor carpi ulnaris (TRIFCU) approach. Twelve cadaveric upper extremity specimens were dissected using a lateral-to-medial hemi-peel modification of the TRIFCU approach to the elbow. After completing the hemi-peel exposure, the visible border of the articular...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Eriocaulaceae (Poales) is currently divided in two subfamilies: Eriocauloideae, which comprises two genera and Paepalanthoideae, with nine genera. The floral anatomy of Actinocephalus polyanthus, Leiothrix fluitans, Paepalanthus chlorocephalus, P. flaccidus and Rondonanthus roraimae was studied here. The flowers of these species of Paepalanthoideae are unisexual, and form ca...

Objective To evaluate the age in which the secondary ossification centers of the elbow appear and fuse in the Brazilian population. Methods Nearly thirty radiographs were randomly selected for each age group from 0 to 18 years, with a total of 544 radiographs from 439 patients, between 2010 and 2015, without abnormalities secondary to trauma, metabolic or bone tumor diseases. Radiographs were...
