Lameness causes major financial losses and welfare problems in dairy herds. Prevention of foot lesions may suffice in the majority of lameness cases. The objectives of this longitudinal study were to describe the dynamics and associations between abnormal hind leg conformation, asymmetric claws, lameness, and foot lesions in 122 Danish Holstein heifers from an average of 41 d before first calvi...

Diabetic wound, also known as diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is a form of chronic lesion that disrupts the patient's lifestyle and, in severe cases, may be fatal. Recent endeavors utilizing enzymes, particularly nanozymes conjunction with other materials, have revealed potential to treat wounds. Herein, rational structural design enzyme‐based biomaterials summarized after presenting types and proce...

Four horses presenting for lameness were diagnosed with unilateral osteochondral fragmentation (OCF) of the palmarolateral/plantarolateral aspect distal phalanx within interphalangeal joint (DIPJ). Histological evaluation one case supported a diagnosis osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), patient age and history from two cases suggesting traumatic origin. Lesion appearance on conventional radiograp...

Chromoblastomycosis (CM), a chronic subcutaneous mycosis, is caused by several dematiaceous fungi, the most common being Fonsecaea pedrosoi . It usually occurs in the lower extremities following traumatic implantation of the organisms. We are reporting a case of rapidly developing case of CM on the unilateral lower limb with a fungating mass like ulcerative lesion and hyperkeratotic waIiy growt...

We studied bone lesion alterations in three patients with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) by imaging exams (radiography and scintigraphy) and histopathology. Two patients had bone lesions of distal extremities of hands and feet, and one infiltrating plaques in the skin. The study was conducted at three specialized centers (Presidente Dutra Hospital/Nucleus of Tropical Pathology, UFMA-MA; ...

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor with a predilection for the bones of lower extremities and about one fourth of the tumors involve the foot. Radiologically, an eccentric lytic lesion with well-defined margins is seen in the metaphysis of the bone. We hereby, report an 18 yr old young male who presented to Orthopedic Outpatient Department, JN Medical College, Alig...

Minimal change disease (MCD) can be experimentally induced in rats, but spontaneous cases have not been reported. Herein, we present a case of MCD in rats that resembled the phenotypes of human MCD. A 9-week-old male Sprague Dawley rat developed continuous albuminuria for 2 weeks and was sacrificed at 11 weeks of age. Histological testing revealed no glomerular or renal tubular abnormalities on...

A 70-year-old Surinam woman visited the hospital because of a subcutaneous swelling on the instep of her left foot. She had had this problem for several years, but recently she was experiencing more pain when wearing certain shoes. Physical examination revealed a tender swelling on the foot without any other abnormalities. The clinical diagnosis of a ganglion was made. At surgical excision, how...

A 40-year-old kidney transplant male recipient was hospitalized for chronic abscess of the right foot in a context of immunodepression. The patient came from Djibouti and was in Belgium for a few days. He presented a right foot with a swelling localized on the first metatarsophalangeal joint which was excoriated (Figures 1 and 2) and was self-treated ineffectively with various local antiseptics...
