ABOUT CITATIONS

As in a journal article, bibliographic information is an important component of our blog texts. From our point of view, its format can be any, but uniform.

We have developed our own citation format for literary sources. In the in-text citation, priority is given to the publication year, followed by the first author, and finally, the last one listed: 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV. The emphasis on the date is explained by its role in providing a temporal orientation and offering insight into the context of the period. We consider specifying the last author necessary, as they are assumed to be the senior member of the team, the generator of the main idea of the work, and the primary internal reviewer. In the list of references per article, we are in favor of indicating detailed information about the publication. To save space and reduce the number of text input actions in the bibliographic reference, unnecessary characters and spaces are omitted from while maintaining unambiguous reading. We do not put periods after capital letters of abbreviations of names, commas between the number of the volume, journal, and the list of pages, and, where possible, spaces are placed instead of separators or removed: Arkhipov SV, Prolygina IV. Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission. MLTJ. 2020;10(3)536-46. It is planned to continue improving the design of bibliographic references.

With sincere respect to you,

Sergey Arkhipov

Original text:

Как и в журнальной статье, важными компонентом текстов нашего блога являются библиографические сведения. Думается, их формат может быть любой, но единообразный.

Мы разработали собственный вариант цитирования данных литературных источников. Во внутритекстовой ссылке отдается приоритет году публикации. Он указывается в начале, затем первый автор, а в конце – крайний из перечисленных: 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV. Акцент на дате объясняется тем, что она ориентирует во времени, дает представление о контексте периода. Указание последнего в перечне автора мы полагаем необходимым, ибо именно он подразумевается старшим в команде, генератором основной идеи работы и главным внутренним рецензентом. В пристатейном перечне литературы мы сторонники указания подробных сведений о публикации. При этом для экономии места и уменьшения количества движений наборщика текста в библиографической ссылке опускаются излишние знаки и пробелы с условием сохранения однозначности прочтения. Нами не ставятся точки после заглавных букв сокращения имен, запятые между номером тома, журнала и перечнем страниц, а, где возможно, вместо разделительного знака помещается пробел, либо он удаляется: Arkhipov SV, Prolygina IV. Ancient Textual Sources on Ligamentum Teres: Context and Transmission. MLTJ. 2020;10(3)536-46. Совершенствование оформления библиографических ссылок планируется продолжать.

Test catalog of the LCF pathology

Test catalog of the ligamentum capitis femoris pathology By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD CONTENT [i] Abstract [ii] Introduction [iii] Testing in the supine position [iv] Testing in a standing position [v] Gait study [vi] References [vii] Application [i] Abstract A description of tests for the detection and differential diagnosis of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) pathology is presented. [ii] Introduction One of the first studies devoted to the diagnosis of LCF injury demonstrated a variety of symptoms: groin pain, hip stiffness, sometimes long-standing minimal clinical findings, or signs similar to osteoarthritis (1997GrayA_VillarRN). More than a decade later, researchers concluded: "Unfortunately, there is no specific test for detecting LCF tears." The signs known at that time were nonspecific and were also observed in other intra-articular pathologies of the hip joint (2010CerezalL_Pérez-CarroL). The a...

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis? A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN CONTENT [i] Abstract [ii] Introduction [iii] Egyptian physician [iv] Asian diviner [v] Conclusion [vi] References [vii] Application [i] Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research. [ii] Introduction According to Rabbinic Judais...

«Prof. Partridge in his lectures on anatomy at King's College was accustomed to compare the Ligamentum Teres, in its function, to the leathern straps by which the body of a carriage is suspended on springs » ( 1874SavoryWS ). Perhaps Nikolai Pirogov listened to these lectures ( 1859PirogoffN ). The analogy that Richard Partridge used could have arisen after reading the monograph Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . In it, the author depicted a cart and a pelvis resting on the head of one and two femurs. However, there is no mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the chart descriptions.

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.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The blog is dedicated to the ligament of the head of femur, known in Latin as ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). In our opinion, this is a crucial element of the hip joint, found in the majority of vertebrates, including humans. This structure is significant for the functioning not only of the lower limb but the entire musculoskeletal system. LCF is involved in walking and helps maintain certain types of upright posture. It connects the pelvis and femur, restricts movements, and redistributes the load in the hip region. Dysfunction, displacement of attachment points, and pathological changes in LCF are the initial links in the pathogenesis of hip osteoarthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, congenital dislocation of the hip, aseptic (avascular) necrosis, and femoral head osteochondropathy. Preventing or interrupting the development of these disabling conditions could be achieved through successful therapeutic and surgical treatment of LCF pathology with normalizing its functioning. ...
