2009(a)ArkhipovSV

 

The publication describes the design of a walking machine, the ball support joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). The proposed machine can be used to explore other planets. The practical implementation of this idea has already begun: «Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials» [bbc.com]

1879TillauxPJ

  The author discusses the anatomy, topography, and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). According to P.J. Tillaux, this structure "...is the retaining ligament; it prevents the head from being pressed in the upper part against the bottom of the acetabulum." Similar views were expressed earlier by 1820PallettaGB , 1857TurnerW , and 1874SavoryWS . The author does not deny that the LCF also serves as a conduit for vessels and nerves, supporting M.P.C.Sappey . At the same time, the priority of this view should be recognized for 1820PallettaGB .     Tillaux PJ. Traite d’anatomie topographique avec applications à la chirurgie.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 18

  Short retelling of chapter 18 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 18. THE MINISTRY OF JESUS   The accounts of Jesus’ ministry, as recorded by the Gospel writers, offer varying timelines marked by the Jewish Passover. Matthew and Mark mention one Passover, Luke references two, and John notes three instances of the festival’s approach. Based on these milestones, Jesus’ ministry—his bearing of the “cross”—likely spanned one to three years across Galilee (Upper Galilee, 32°59'10"N, 35°20'13"E; Lower Galilee, 32°46'59"N, 35°19'48"E) and Judea (31°35'N, 35°E). Isaac Newton (1642–1727) calculated Jesus’ death as occurring between 33 and 34 CE, with modern scholars pinpointing April 3, 33 CE, as the date of his crucifixion, marking the end of the Galilean Physician’s earthly journey. Thus, the period from 29 to 33 CE ...

How TeresI Helps Us

  Teresi – a small ligament of the hip joint, also known as the round ligament (lat. ligamentum teres). It supports the body and thus reduces the load on the hip joint. I would like to explain how this important structure helps us.

BIOMECHANICS OF THE HIP JOINT WITHOUT LCF

  Biomechanics of the hip joint without LCF Do you remember the comparison of the ligamentum teres with the spring element of a cart? ( 1874SavoryWS ). An analogy could arise after reading the book Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . Most orthopedists still think so.

130bcHegetor

  Fragment from the treatise Hegetor On Causes ( Περὶ αὶτιῶν , ca. 130 BC). The author writes about the connecting function and attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), and also points out its damage during hip dislocation. See our commentary at the link: 130bcHegetor [Rus], and  2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV ; translation into Latin: 1745CocchiA . Quote [Grc] Περὶ αὶτιῶν . (original source: 1834DietzFR, pp. 34-35; see also: 1965KolleschJ_KudlienF, pp. 78, 80) Translation [Eng] On Causes . Why don’t those who rely only on experience seek to find any other [way] of reduction the femoral head for those who have it dislocated, in such a way that every time it dislocates, it can be reset? After all, we can observe that the lower jaw, and the humeral head, the elbow, and the knee, and each finger, and the majority of joints that may dislocate, can be reset in a similar way. For, not being able to understand why this joint only, after dislocation and repeated reduc...
