Proposal to conserve the name Bosea yervamora (Amaranthaceae) with a conserved type

Linnaeus (Crit. Bot.: 77. 1737) coined the genus name “Bosea” to honor Caspar Bose (1645–1700), who owned a famous garden in Leipzig (“Bose Senator Lipsiensis”). Later Linnaeus (Hort. Cliff.: 84. 1738) spelled the name as “Bosia”, provided a description and referenced earlier works, viz., Plukenet (Almagestum: 42. 1696), Sloane (Cat. Pl. Jamaica: 135 [sub Tilia]. 1696, Voy. Jamaica 2: 19 [sub Tilia], t. 158, fig. 3. 1725), Ray (Hist. Pl. 3 (24: Dendrologiæ): 88 [sub Tilia]. 1704), Walther (Design. Pl.: 24 [sub Frutex], t. 10. 1735), and Thran (Index Pl. Horti Carolsruh.: 44. 1733). Subsequently, Linnaeus (Gen. Pl., ed. 2: 102. 1742, Sp. Pl.: 225. 1753; Gen. Pl., ed. 5: 105. 1754) reverted to the original spelling, and it was validated as Bosea, monotypic when published in 1753 with B. yervamora L. as generitype. The epithet is a noun in apposition. The name B. yervamora L. is still in use to refer to the only species of Amaranthaceae endemic in the Canary Islands, where it is common in thermophilous woodlan

Telehealth and Burn Care: From Faxes to Augmented Reality

Despite advances in telemedicine, practices remain diverse, ranging from telephonic to still images and video-based conferencing. We review the various modes of telemedicine in burn care and summarize relevant studies, including their contributions and limitations. We also review the role of a more recent technology, augmented reality, and its role in the triage and management of burn patients. Telemedicine in burn care remains diverse, with varied outcomes in accuracy and efficiency. Newer technologies such as augmented reality have not been extensively studied or implemented but show promise in immersive, real-time triage

A Case Report of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Cladophialophora Bantiana Treated in a Burn Unit

Black molds are a heterogeneous group of fungi that are distributed widely in the environment and that occasionally cause human infection. The spectrum of disease includes mycetomas, chromoblastomycosis, sinusitis, and superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous, and systemic phaeohyphomycosis. Cladophialophora bantiana, an agent of phaeohyphomycosis, causes rare infections mainly of the central nervous system. Extracerebral involvement is uncommon, and only a few cases have been reported. We present the case of a 32-year-old immunosuppressed female who developed a cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis from C. bantiana. The patient was treated in a burn unit with wound care, surgical excision, grafting, and itraconazole. Patients with complex fungal infections represent yet another population with specialized needs that are adequately met in a verified burn center
