Two cases of Squamous cell carcinoma are recorded in zebu cattle of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Lesions showed different clinical aspects Papule and cauliflower like growths placed at level of nictinating membrane of eye and interdigital spaces of hind limb respectively. Cytology and histopathological examination revealed well and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas respectively.

Interdigital spaces could be an area of affection of a various cutaneous conditions, most of them with benign origin. The spectrum of differential diagnosis of pigmented interdigital lesions with a recent occurrence is not so wide, in contrast. When considering pigmented lesions in the interdigital area, the most harmless differential diagnosis is a traumatic hematoma. But what would happen if ...

The paper identifies fungal species, looking at the incidence of fungal isolation and risk factors influencing the development of fungal infection and colonization of interdigital spaces of the feet in 509 diabetic outpatients. Using standard mycologic diagnostic methods, fungi were detected in toe webs of 122 (24%) diabetic patients. The finding of fungi was twice as common in interdigital spa...

Fine structural study of interdigital membranes during formation of the digits of the duck foot reveals that the interdigital necrosis is accompanied by a high deposition of collagenous material in the epithelio-mesenchymal interface, rupture of the basal lamina and detachment of ectodermal cells into the amniotic sac. These changes are similar to those observed in the regressing interdigital m...

Background: Postburn dorsal and palmar interdigital commissural contracture is one of the most common complications of hand burns which restricts finger motion and presents a serious cosmetic defect. Many techniques and flaps have been suggested, and research continues for more effective techniques as the problem has not been solved. Methods: Anatomy of scar interdigital commissural contracture...

Digit formation during vertebrate limb development is a well-known example of programmed cell death. We have used this system to analyze whether the formation of the interdigital necrotic zone in mouse autopods is linked with the expression of BAG-1, a gene with an anti-death activity. Here, we demonstrate that during development of mouse autopods, BAG-1 expression is downregulated upon the ini...

Blood vessels serve as key regulators of organogenesis by providing oxygen, nutrients and molecular signals. During limb development, programmed cell death (PCD) contributes to separation of the digits. Interestingly, prior to the onset of PCD, the autopod vasculature undergoes extensive patterning that results in high interdigital vascularity. Here, we show that in mice, the limb vasculature p...

BACKGROUND We sought to determine the incidence of tinea pedis in patients with otherwise asymptomatic pedal interdigital macerations. Both diabetic and nondiabetic populations were compared. Age and body mass index were also examined for their significance. METHODS Fungal cultures of skin scrapings from 80 patients (77 male and 3 female; mean age, 65 years) with interdigital macerations were...
