Comparing plantar shear strain in patients with a previous diabetes‐related foot ulcer and those at low risk for ulceration using the STrain Analysis and Mapping of the Plantar Surface (STAMPS) system

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background STrain Analysis and Mapping of the Plantar Surface (STAMPS) is an innovative system using a plastically deformable insole with a stochastic speckle pattern, developed to measure peak plantar shear strain (SMAG) in people with diabetes.

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Seasonal prevalence and geographical distribution of claw health in dairy cows: Investigation of the causal relationship with breed

Journal of Dairy Science
: Claw disorders in dairy cattle represent a significant challenge, affecting animal welfare and farm productivity. This study investigates the prevalence, severity, and breed-specific responses of various claw lesions across 4 dairy breeds, Simmental ...

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

Prevalence of common claw lesions of lameness in cattle and buffaloes of central Punjab region of India

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
Prevalence of lameness was estimated in crossbred lactating cattle (337) and Murrah buffaloes (82) from 7 organised dairy farms and 100 lactating cattle and 51 lactating buffaloes from 50 unorganised (backyard) farms from different villages of Ludhiana ...

Microbial influence on the formation and subsequent changes of vertebrate tracks: field experiments on present‐day coastal sediments

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of microbial mats is often invoked to explain the good preservation of vertebrate tracks, because they can cover and biostabilize such structures. However, microbial influence on the sediment properties when the track is made and on the track characteristics has not been so thoroughly analysed.

Heidegger and Levinas on the phenomenology of the hand: Between work and gesture

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Heidegger and Levinas develop distinct phenomenological accounts of the hand. Both thinkers refuse to treat the hand as merely an anatomical organ, instead viewing it as an essential dimension of human existence. Yet their interpretations diverge sharply. In the first section, I show how Heidegger grounds the function

GJB6 missense variant in a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Palmoplantar keratoderma in humans is a condition defined by an abnormally thickened cornified skin layer on the hands and feet. In animals, the corresponding disease is commonly termed paw pad hyperkeratosis. It can be acquired due to repeated trauma, infections, cancer, or inflammatory dermatoses, or inherited due to pathogenic variants in ...

Interdigital Hyperplasia in Holstein Cattle Is Associated With a Missense Mutation in the Signal Peptide Region of the Tyrosine-Protein Kinase Transmembrane Receptor Gene

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Bovine interdigital hyperplasia (IH) is a typical disease of the foot with varying prevalence depending on age, breed, and environmental factors resulting in different degrees of lameness.

From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...
