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.

Dating and authorship of the Book of Genesis

An original perspective on the dating and authorship of the Book of Genesis. This approach can reconcile all faiths, including atheists and scientists. English version of the article: https://roundligament.blogspot.com/2026/02/great-compilation-introduction.html Abstract The Book of Genesis (Bereshith) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reached its definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption of Thera. This study argues that the work was the result of a collaboration between an Egyptian polymath and a distinguished scribe of Asiatic descent. By analyzing ancient texts, anatomical descriptions, archaeological data, Bronze Age cultural history, and climatic markers, this article demonstrates that the book emerged from the work of a high-ranking socio-political committee within the Egyptian House of Life. We argue that the inclusion of precise anatomical data, such as the ligamentum capitis femoris, serves as a diagnostic marker of this Egypti...

LCF in English Bibles The first written mention of the LCF in humans is found in the ancient Hebrew book – Bereshit (Genesis).

The First Conservative Treatment

Conservative treatment of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) pathology is, without exaggeration, a highly complex subject. We understand how to repair LCF surgically, although we have not yet achieved significant success in this (2024). Methods of drug therapy for changes in LCF are not even discussed today. The first attempt at treating post-traumatic changes in LCF with recurrent hip dislocations was made by Galen of Pergamon (129-210/217 AD) over 19 centuries ago. In Hippocratis de articulis liber et Galeni in eum commentarius quatus (IV, 40) , he wrote: « And when mucus builds up in the joint, then the ligament [LCF] softens and weakens as a result. And it does not matter whether you call it a ligament ( σύνδεσμον ) or a connecting sinew ( νεῦρον συνδετικόν ). For those ligaments that have a rounded shape like tendons are usually called connecting sinews by anatomists. And we have already cured this kind of hip dislocation twice, and it did not dislocate again. Drying medica...

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," ...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 7

Short retelling of chapter 7 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 7. ABEL AND CAIN A pivotal moment in the saga of early humanity was the departure from the "Garden of Eden" to cultivate fields, with a focus on growing grains, as "bread" is mentioned earlier in Genesis. The text does not specify where Adam and Eve settled after leaving Eden, but we can infer it was a warm region with ample water for crops and livestock. This is evidenced by their sons’ occupations: Cain as a "tiller of the ground" and Abel as a "keeper of sheep." Over time, Cain and his family moved "east of Eden" to the land of "Nod," where he founded a "city"—a settlement with permanent dwellings. His descendants developed sophisticated skills: some mastered music, playing the stringed "lyre" and the ...

The author examines in detail the structure, shape and blood supply of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Jakob Henle notes that the LCF serves as a conduit for vessels and participates in the synthesis of synovial fluid. Its strength varies, but usually it is robust. However, according to the author, the mechanical role of the LCF lies in tensioning the capsule of the hip joint. The translation was done in collaboration with ChatGPT 3.5. Henle J.

MEDICAL RECORD. Chapter 1

Book manuscript: Arkhipov S.V. Medical Record: The Contribution of a Middle Bronze Age Egyptian Physician to the Book of Genesis. Kyrö: Author’s Edition, 2026. – 312 pp. – 2 tables. – Bibliographical references: 856 entries. play.google.com , books.google.com Introduction Chapter 1 Preamble to the Medical Record CONTENT [i] Text [ii] Navigation [iii] Application [i] Text A unique feature of the Book of Genesis is the abundance of information regarding human physiology and ancient medicine. A striking example is the detailed description in the 32nd chapter of a hip joint injury and its consequences. This knowledge, seamlessly woven into the narrative, is as old as the literary monument itself. How long ago it was composed remains not definitively known, but according to the currently dominant view, it dates back to the late 6th or 5th century BCE (2017OliverS). With the intention of clarifying the aforementioned question and for dating the natural-scientific facts con...
