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...

OBJECTIVE The nerve conduction findings in interdigital neuropathy of the foot (IDN; Morton's neuroma) have rarely been reported. We analyzed the nerve conduction data in 23 patients with suspected IDN studied between 1982 and 2002. METHOD Diagnosis of IDN was made on the basis of clinical features. All patients underwent routine nerve conduction studies and a near-nerve needle sensory nerve ...

This paper introduces hexagonal shape sensors that is a meander and mesh type. Modelling, simulation and development of Hexagonal Sensor and the results are discussed in this paper. The characteristics of hexagonal spiral inductor and interdigital capacitor are determined. The hexagonal spiral inductor is a new electronic sensor that can be used for various measurements that produces magnetic f...

Massive cell death, which accompanies the freeing of the digits, occurs in the interdigits of the developing chick foot during stages 30-35. The possibility was reexamined that mitochondrial succinic dehydrogenase activity disappears in the interdigital cells of the chick foot 24 h before cell mortality. Using standard histochemical means it was found that succinic dehydrogenase activity was de...

In this article nickel interdigital capacitors were fabricated on top of silicon substrates. The capacitance of the interdigital capacitor was optimized by coating the electrodes with a 60 nm layer of HfO2. An analytical solution of the capacitance was compared to electromagnetic simulations using COMSOL and with experimental measurements. Results show that modeling interdigital capacitors usin...

Interdigital dielectrometry is used for non-destructive evaluation of material properties. Spectroscopic analysis of frequency-dependent dielectric properties increases sensitivity and selectivity of measurement of many physical variables (e.g. moisture, porosity, density, and aging status) that are correlated with changes of dielectric properties. This paper presents a convenient algorithmic m...

Morton's neuroma is a compressive neuropathy resulting in perineural fibrosis rather than a neuroma of the plantar digital nerve. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients with a clear diagnosis of Morton's neuroma and no improvement with nonsurgical treatment. The surgical options include isolated intermetatarsal ligament division, isolated interdigital nerve excision, and interdigital nerv...

Filters with advanced features have numerous applications in many modern technologies. Microwave bandpass filter is one of those filters that can be used for wireless communication .This paper emphasis how to design an interdigital microwave bandpass filter for 2.45GHz. So, this paper focuses on the design of parallel coupled line bandpass filter, two sets of interdigital band-pass filter at 2....

BACKGROUND Erythrasma is a superficial infection caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum and affects the major skin folds and the interdigital regions of the feet. It is characterized by erythematous, brown, scaly patches and maceration, and exhibits coral-red fluorescence under Wood light. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of erythrasma in patients with interdigit...

BACKGROUND We examined toe-spreading ability in subjects with chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) to test the hypothesis that subjects with CPPS could have deficiencies in lower extremity functions innervated by sacral spinal roots. METHODS Seventy two subjects with CPPS and 98 volunteer controls were examined as part of a larger study on CPPS. All the subjects underwent a detailed urologic a...
