1706PolluxJ

Fragments from the book Pollux J. Iuliu Polydeukus Onomasticum Graece & Latine (1706). In Greek, the author refers to ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) as "νεῦρον" and also points out the synonym "ἰσχίον". This term was used by Rufus of Ephesus (2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). The fragment of the Onomasticum dealing with the LCF was quoted by Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia (1603IngrassiaeIP).

Quote p. 245

Lib. II, Cap. IV, Segm. 186

[Grc]

καιλεῖται δὲ καὶ τὸ νεῦρον, τὸ συνέχον τὴν κοτύλην πρὸς τὸν μηρὸν, ἰσχίον. ὁμώνυμον δέ ἐστιν αὖτῷ καὶ τὸ ἄρθρον. καὶ τὸ μὲν τῇ κοτύλῃ συνηρμοσμένον στρογγύλον ὀστοῦν, μηροῦ κεφαλὴ καλεῖται.

[Lat]

Nervus etiam coxam femori colligans, ἰσχίον dicitur. codemque nomine, & ipse articulus nominatur. Os vero volubile coxendici conjundum, femoris caput appellatur.

Translation

[Eng]

The sinew connecting the pelvis to the thigh is called ἰσχίον. The joint is named by the same name, but the rotating bone connected to the pelvis is called the femoral head.

Australopithecus afarensis

AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 3

Short retelling of chapter 3 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 3. THE DAWN OF SURGERY The animal kingdom exhibits numerous forms of social support, many of which lay the groundwork for rudimentary medical practices. Insects like bees, fish such as cichlids, amphibians like bullfrogs, reptiles like crocodiles, and most birds and mammals demonstrate care for their offspring. Lions and wolves feed injured kin, while buffalo and flocking birds collectively defend against predators. Marine mammals assist struggling companions to the surface for air, and elephants help free trapped herd members from mud or aid them in standing. These behaviors hint at the origins of altruism, a trait that extends to early medical instincts. Animals also engage in self-medication and basic healing. Birds employ various techniques to combat ectoparasites, while moths, ant...

New Biomechanics in Illustrations

The New Biomechanics of the Hip Joint: A Pictorial Essay S.V. Arkhipov INTRODUCTION First in the history of humanity, the mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and the pathomechanics of walking associated with its damage is found in the ancient literary monument “Book of Genesis” (32:24-24,31-32), created approximately 3600 years ago (2019Arkhipov_Skvortsov; 2023 Архипов ). Fig. 1 The LCF = ligamentum teres of the hip joint, drawing by H.V. Carter (1870Grey). Fig. 2 Pencil drawing “Crossing of the Jabbok River” based on the “Book of Genesis” 32:22 (author: Lyudmila Arkhipova, 2008). The first description of LCF in a medical text is given by Hippocrates of Kos in the treatise “Instruments of Reductions” or “ Mochlicus ”, written in the V-IV centuries BCE (1844Littre). We know that with the normal LCF, walking it is light, rhythmic, and symmetrical, but we don't know “why ”. See video: Supplement 1 Normal Walking We don't even know why we wi...
