Quote p. 367

La tête du fémur est tournée en haut, en dedans et un peu en avant; de manière que la plus grande partie de sa convexité est en haut et la plus petite en bas. Cette convexité se prolonge un peu plus en avant qu’en arrière, et forme plus de la moitié d’une sphère. Sa surface est lisse, excepté à la partie moyenne inférieure où se trouve un enfoncement dans lequel s’attache le ligament interne de l’articulation. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde de l’os innominé.


Quote p. 374

La tête du Fémur est recouverte, dans l’état frais, par un cartilage articulaire, dont la circonférence est moins épaisse que la partie moyerine. Ce cartilage est interrompu à la partie moyenne et inférieure, par un enfoncement qui donne attache au ligament interne. La tête du fémur est reçue dans la cavité cotyloïde.


Quote pp. 378-379

Le ligament intérieur a été appelé ligament rond, quoiqu’il n’ait rien moins que la forme ronde. Il s’étend des extrémités de l’échancrure de la cavité cotyloïde, à l’enfoncement de la tête du fémur. Il est aplati et triangulaire. Une de ses faces est interne et supérieure elle est contiguë au paquet celluleux qui remplit la portion raboteuse de la cavité cotyloïde. L’autre est externe et inférieure; elle est contiguë à la tête du femur. La base de ce ligament est attachée aux extrémités de l’éclianicrnre cotyloïdienne, et au bord postérieur du ligament qui convertit cette échancrure en trou: delà, il monte obliquement en arriéré et va s’attacher, par son sommet, à la partie supérieure de l’enfoncement creusé sur la tete du fémur. Ce ligament est compose de deux bandes plates de fibres, dont l’une supérieure, plus petite, naît de l’extrémité supérieure de l’echancrure cotyloïdienne; l’autre, plus grande, naît de son extrémité infériure. Ces deux bandes se rapprochent et se confondent vers la tête du femur: leurs bords voisins sont unis par une lame fibreuse plus mince. Cet appareil fibreux est renfermé dans une espèce de gaîne membraneuse, qui naît de la circonférence de l’enfoncement raboteux de la cavité cotyloïde et du bord postérieur du ligament qui couvre l’échancrure cotyloïdienne. Cette gaîne recouvre le paquet celluleux prétendu synovial, qui remplit l’enfoncement, lui adhère fortement, entoure le ligament auquel elle est intimement unie, et finit enfin à la circonférence de l’enfoncementde la tete du fémur, en se continuant avec le cartilage articulaire. Cette membrane est souvent soulevée, près la tête du femur, par un petit flocon celluleux, semblable à ceux qu’on regarde comme des glandes synoviales. Le ligament interne est propre à empêcher que le fémur ne sorte de la cavité cotyloïde eu haut et en dehors.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 16

  Short retelling of chapter 16 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 16. The Archive of Joseph The saga of Joseph, a towering figure in the Book of Genesis, begins in Harran (36°52'16"N, 39°01'31"E), where he is born to Rachel, the second wife of Patriarch Jacob. As a young child, he leaves Paddan-Aram in northern Mesopotamia with his family, eventually settling in the Canaanite valley of Hebron. The journey through Western Asia’s rugged terrain leaves vivid impressions—of camel caravans, river crossings, and a final glimpse of his grandfather Laban on Gilead’s heights. By seven, Joseph is in Canaan, a land of contrasts to Harran’s plains. At seventeen, his life takes a dark turn. His brothers, envious of Jacob’s favoritism—symbolized by a vibrant, multicolored robe—sell him into Egyptian slavery. In Egypt, Joseph’s fortunes shift d...

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S.

Homo ergaster

  HOMO ERGASTER The Homo ergaster species lived in Africa 1.8 million years ago and was alive until 600,000 years ago, likely becoming the ancestor of Homo erectus in Asia, Homo neanderthalensis in Europe, and Homo sapiens in Africa (1995CachelS_HarrisJ; 2005KleinR). Homo ergaster is occasionally equated with Homo erectus in publications (2013TattersallI). The most complete Homo ergaster skeleton belongs to an adolescent named "Turkana Boy" (KNM-WT 15000). The young man was between 8 and 12 years old (2010GravesRR_CunninghamDL; 2019BergmanJ). The age of this individual's remains is believed to be 1.6 million years (2007TattersallI).
