A subscapular-pubic fascio-cutaneous flap for reconstruction of the chest wall following excision to the extent of near inoperability.

The use of an extensive fascio-cutaneous flap with skin from the thorax and abdomen, starting from the lateral and subscapular area behind the posterior axillary line and going down to the homolateral pubic and inguinal area, is described. This type of flap is used for repair of very extensive skin loss on the thorax when free grafts, the only alternative, are unsuitable because of the need for more effective and definite covering.

[Histopathology of the liver in patients with severe burns. Preliminary biopsy study].

Liver histobiopsy was carried out in 21 patients with burns of from 25 to 75 percent, between the 2nd and 125th day following trauma. The most frequent type of lesion encountered was albuminoid degeneration and hydropic ballooning of the cytoplasm to the point that the parenchyma assumed a "vegetable" appearance. No steatosis intervenes until the 6th-8th day after the burn and where it was not present previously, is a sign that the patient's condition is worsening. Total, or nearly total, disappearance of glycogen from the sections is an indication that the patient is worsening; in effect in patients who died, biopsy carried out shortly beforehand revealed the extreme paucity of PAS-positive material in the hepatocytes.
