The study analyzed the overall microstructure of eleven fresh human ligamentum teres (LT) specimens. The authors suggest that the LT «... hould no longer be considered a developmental vestige, as there is evidence to suggest that it has both mechanical and biological functions within the hip joint. As such, any surgical procedures should aim to minimize excessive damage to this structure as far as possible, so as to minimize any potential loss of function.»

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

  Short retelling of chapter 5 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 5.  ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

Du côté du fémur, tête hémisphérique encroûtée de cartilage et présentant à sa partie supérieure et interne une dépression qui loge un ligament inter-articulaire. Du côté de l'os iliaque , cavité cotyloïde, profonde , échancrée sur sa circonférence, surtout à sa partie antérieure et inférieure, et présentant dans sa partie profonde une dépression remplie de tissu adipeux rougeâtre, improprement appelé glande cotyloïdienne.

Quote 2. Ch. XII. p. 106. 4. Il y a un ligament rond qui s'oppose à la luxation. Ce ligament prend son origine de la tête du femur, & s'insere dans la cavité de l'ischion; à la verité il ne s'insere pas directement au fond de la cavité ny au milieu de la tête, ce qui fait qu'il ne peur pas s'opposer à toutes les especes de luxations, comme nous le ferons voir dans les differences.
