Article by Walmsley T. A note on the retinacula of Weitbrecht (1916). The author discusses the embryonic development and relationships of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in humans and animals. A NOTE ON THE RETINACULA OF WEITBRECHT. By THOMAS WALMSLEY, M.B., Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy, University of Glasgow. The synovial membrane of the hip-joint is in extent and attachment similar to that of other diarthroses, but the retinacula of Weitbrecht (or ligaments of Stanley) lend to it a special interest. These retinacula are readily recognized on the interior of the capsule as flattened bands passing inwards towards the margin of the head of the femur from the attachment of the peripheral capsule. The following description of their constitution may be selected as expressive of current opinion. The retinacula are arranged in three groups, superior, middle, and inferior: structurally, they are synovial covered capsular reflections: morphologic...

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.

Factors Causing of LCF Pathology

Version : 20240418 Factors leading to pathology of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), acting directly or indirectly. FACTORS CAUSING OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Mechanical (damage with a blunt or sharp object, direct, indirect impact) 2. Temperature (action of high or low temperature) 3. Chemical (exposure to alkalis, acids) 4. Infectious (local process, disease of the whole body) 5. Radiation (X-rays, gamma radiation, particle streams) 6. Medicinal (exposure to medications and their breakdown products) 7. Barometric (low or high atmospheric pressure, such as decompression sickness) 8. Mental (behavioral disorders: chronic, episodic, for example, intoxication, suicide) 9. Neurological (damage to the brain, peripheral nerves) 10. Malignant tumor process (destruction by the primary tumor or metastasis) 11. Benign tumor process (destruction by tumor, compression) 12.

386-397John Chrysostom

Fragment from the book John Chrysostom. Homoliae in Genesim (Homilie on Genesis). The treatise Homiliarum in Genesium, written between about 386 - 397 years in Antioch, now Antakya. J.F. Kelly gives a more precise date – 389 ( fourthcentury.com ). The author mentions ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an animal and an episode of its damage in a human. To denote the LCF, John Chrysostom used the Greek term « νεῦρον ». Translated into Latin, the structure is called «nervum». The Greek text is prepared for machine translation using a service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. See our commentary at the link: 386-397JohnChrysostom [Rus].

1991FussFK_BacherA

Abstract and citation of the article Fuss FK, Bacher A. New aspects of the morphology and function of the human hip joint ligaments (1991). The authors suggest that ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is unable to exert a restricting function, despite reaching a state of tension in extreme adduction. Quote 1. Abstract The capsular ligaments of the human hip joint were submitted to exact morphological analysis, and they proved to be multiple and numerous. We have described various ligamentous systems and their interconnections, and have suggested new terminologies and systematics. The ligaments were subjected to functional analysis by means of measuring strips to determine the positions in which the ligaments are taut. The ligament systems were all found to serve a restrictive function, and various parts of the apparatus restricted all possible movements in the hip joint. Extension is restricted by the medial iliofemoral complex, abduction by the pubofemoral ligament, and addu...
