ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

The blog is managed and administered by Sergey Vasilyevich Arkhipov, a candidate of medical sciences, general surgeon, and orthopedic traumatologist (orthopedic surgeon) of the highest qualification, as well as a medical expert.

The author graduated from the State Medical Institute in 1992 (Smolensk, Russia) and defended his dissertation at the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples (Moscow). He studied at the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (Moscow) and the Russian Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (St. Petersburg). He also had internships at the Hannover Medical School (Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover).

Sergey Arkhipov has experience working in the orthopedic department of a regional clinical hospital, trauma departments of major city medical institutions, a regional burn center, a trauma center, a surgical department of a district hospital, state polyclinics, and private medical clinics. He has been involved in research activities, serving as a practicing physician, department head, deputy chief physician for clinical-expert work, consultant in the field of traumatology and orthopedics, medical expert, and senior researcher at the "Biomechanics and Mechatronics" laboratory (N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University). Sergey Arkhipov worked in the laboratory of "Clinical Physiology and Biomechanics" at the Federal State Budgetary Institution National Medical Research Center named after N.N. Priorov (Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics). Currently, he is an independent scientist.

He has been awarded the Honorary Certificate of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Gratitude of the Mayor of Moscow, certificates of Heads of Administrations, and chief physicians of medical institutions. Sergey Arkhipov was the winner of the regional television contest "Person of the Year – 2004" in the category of "Discovery" and a laureate of the contest "Man – Event – Time." in 2001.

The author created a series of original mechanical models of the human hip joint, designed a quadripedipulatory zoomorphic walking platform, and a prototype of an anthropomorphic walking mechanism. He proposed a family of artificial joints with analogs of ligaments. Sergey Arkhipov refined the concepts of the biomechanics of the hip joint in vertical poses and during walking. He established the role of the ligament of the head of femur, ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), in the pathogenesis of coxarthrosis and formulated a previously unknown general biological regularity – "The Law of Bioinduction". The author suggested a mathematical apparatus for calculating the dynamics of biological processes in living systems.

Sergey Arkhipov the author of six monographs, a dissertation for a candidate of medical sciences, three patents, and eight positive decisions on patent issuance, sixty articles and conference abstracts, forty patent applications. For more accurate positioning in the scientific community, he used the pseudonym S.V. Arkhipov-Baltiysky in some publications.

Scientific interests of the author include: the significance of the LCF for the musculoskeletal system; diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the hip joint; morphomechanics; biomechanics of human and animal locomotion; modeling of joint function; development of artificial joints, and methods of hip ligament repair; biomorphic robotics.

With sincere respect to you,

Sergey Arkhipov

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 6

  Short retelling of chapter 6 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 6. THE GARDEN OF EDEN According to the Book of Genesis, humanity’s earliest ancestors emerged "in the garden of Eden." The text specifies that this idyllic garden was located "in Eden, toward the east." A nameless river flowed from Eden, irrigating the garden, suggesting that "Eden" encompasses a broader region, while the "garden in Eden" is a distinct, cultivated space. Genesis portrays the garden as a divine plantation, established by "Lord God," with humans tasked to tend and maintain it. The garden teemed with diverse trees, including fruit-bearing ones, and later hosted birds, wild animals, and domesticated livestock. Alongside humans, it harbored supernatural beings like cherubim (kyruvy), a serpent, and other divine entities. A s...

Tiktaalik roseae

  TIKTAALIK ROSEAE The first truly tetrapod animal (Limbed tetrapods) is recognized as the lobe-finned fish Tiktaalik roseae (clade Elpistostegalia), discovered in rocks aged about 375 Ma (2006DaeschlerEB_JenkinsJrFA; 2008ShubinN; 2017ShubinN). Discoveries in recent years have allowed us to place the taxa of early tetrapodomorphs in the following order: Tinirau, Eusthenopteron, Megalichthys, Panderichthys, Qikiqtania, Tiktaalik, Elpistostege, Parmastega, Ventastega, Acanthostega, Elginerpeton, Ymeria, Ichthyostega (2022StewartTA_ShubinNH). The closest ancestor of Tiktaalik roseae, the fragments of the skeleton of which are relatively well preserved, is Panderichthys.

Key Role of the LCF

  In the experiments conducted on the pelvis-femur-muscle-ligaments model, we found that when the contralateral pelvic drop occurs, the ligament of the head of femur become maximally tense; simultaneously, there is relaxation and lengthening of the gluteus medius muscle; the pelvis spontaneously rotates towards the stance limb (forward), and the load on the hip joint decreases. Thanks to the functioning of the ligament of the head of femur the walking is smooth, rhythmic, and energy-efficient.

  On the Role of the Ligamentum Capitis Femoris  in the Maintenance of Different Types of Erect Posture S.V. Arkhipov Keywords: ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres, ligament of head of femur, abductor muscle group, role,  function, hip joint, model, biomechanics, walk, gait cycle, single-legged stance  ABSTRACT New experimental and clinical data on the function of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and its participation in maintaining an erect posture were obtained. It was established that this anatomical element is involved in constraining the hip joint adduction and may fi x the joint in the frontal plane, turning it into an analogue of a second-class lever. In both unstrained one-support and asymmetrical two-support orthostatic postures, when the LCF is stretched and the abductor muscle group is exerted, a load equal to the body weight is evenly distributed between the upper and lower hemispheres of the caput femoris. In addition, the LCF fu...
