Quote pp. 523-525

Das runde Band (lig. teres, s. rotundum) ist ein konischer Bündel von Sehnenfasern, die in der Gegend des Pfannenausschnitts vom inneren, oberen und unteren Theil der Pfanne und dem angegebenen inneren Querbande entspringen, und von ihrem Ursprunge an, von einem Ueberzuge der Synovialhaut des Gelenkes umgeben, convergirend in Form eines rundlichen Stranges in der Grube des Kopfes des Schenkelbeins sich befestigen (Tab. III. Fig. VII. 11. 12. 13, 14). Diess Band trägt dazu bei, den Kopf des Schenkelknochens im Pfannengelenke zu erhalten, und seine zu weite Entweichung nach rückwärts, und nach abwärts, wenn der ganze Schenkel im Hüftgelenke frei hängt, zu verhindern. Doch ist es zu lang und zu nachglebig, um für sich die Entweichung des Kopfes aus dem Hüftgelenke zu verhindern. Zur Erhaltung des Schenkelkopfs im Hüftgelenke tragen auch das Kapselband, die Muskeln die vom Becken entspringen, und an den Oberschenkel gehen, und wahrscheinlich auch der Druck der äussern Luft bei. Durchschneidet man die Schenkelmuskeln, die vom Becken entspringen, so kann man den Schenkelkopf, ohne Zerreissung des runden Bandes, nach unten und innen aus der Pfanne hervorziehen. Der Raum zwischen der innern Oberfläche des Hüftgelenks und der dasselbe einschliessen. den Kapselhaut ist grösser, als der cubische Inhalt des darin enthaltenen Kopfes und Halses des Oberschenkelknochens; der zwischen beiden übrige Raum kann nicht vollkommen durch Synovialflüssigkeit ausgefüllet seyn, so gross ist die in dieser Gelenkhöhle enthaltene Quantiät von Synovialflüssigkeit nicht: daher muss ein Theil dieser Flüssigkeit in dieser Höhle in Dunstform enthalten seyn. Dasselbe ist der Fall vom Serum in allen Höhlen, ja selbst in dem interstitiellen Zellengewebe aller Organe und selbst der äussern Haut befindet sich etwas seröse Flüssigkeit in Dunstform, daher kömmt zum Theile der Turgor vitalis, die Elasticität solcher Organe. Solche warme dunstförmige Flüssigkeit in inneren Höhlen von Gelenken ist specifisch leichter, als die äussere atmosphärische Luft, daher diese nach anerkannten physischen Gesetzen gegen die Umgebung solcher Höhlen einen Druck ausüben muss. Der das Hüftgelenk zunächst umgebende Theil ist der Oberschenkel, seine Muskeln und Haut, und es ist so schon nach physischen Gesetzen keinem Zweifel unterworfen, dass der Druck der äusseren Luft auf diese Umgebung selbst dazu beiträgt, den Kopf des Oberschenkels in seiner Lage im Hüftgelenke zu erhalten. Diess hat Herr Dr. Eduard Weber in der Versammlung deutscher Naturforscher zu Bonn 1835 [see too 1836WeberW_WeberE] in einem Vortrage in der dritten öffentlichen Versammlung erkläret, worin er nachwies, dass der Kopf des Schenkelknochens auf dieselbe Weise in seinem Hüftgelenke durch den Druck der atmosphärischen Luft erhalten werde, als durch denselben das Quecksilber in der Barometerhöhle getragen wird. Durch Versuch an einer Leiche bewies er in der anatomischphysiologischen Section, dass der Kopf aus seiner Gelenkhöhle durch die Schwere des Schenkels etwas austrat, wenn das Hüftgelenk angebohrt, und dadurch der Druck der äussern Luft auf das offne Hüftgelenk aufgehoben wurde. Wurde aber der Kopf reponirt, die gemachte Oeffnung durch Druck eines Fingers auf dieselbe geschlossen, so wurde der Kopf durch den Druck der äussern Luft so lange wieder im Pfannengelenke getragen, als die Oeffnung verschlossen blieb, sauk aber wieder aus demselben hervor, wenn die Oeffnung durch Entfernung des schliessenden Fingers wieder frei wurde *).

  «Prof. Partridge in his lectures on anatomy at King's College was accustomed to compare the Ligamentum Teres, in its function, to the leathern straps by which the body of a carriage is suspended on springs » ( 1874SavoryWS ). Perhaps Nikolai Pirogov listened to these lectures ( 1859PirogoffN ).   The analogy that Richard Partridge used could have arisen after reading the monograph Bell J. The Principles of Surgery (1801) . In it, the author depicted a cart and a pelvis resting on the head of one and two femurs. However, there is no mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the chart descriptions. References Savory WS. On the use of the ligamentum teres of the hip joint.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 8

  Short retelling of chapter 1 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 8. THE LAND OF NOD Cain’s family settled in the land of "Nod," where they established a "city." We propose this tribal group followed a route later known as the Great Khorasan Road, leading Cain, son of Adam, to the Kermanshah Valley in the central Zagros Mountains. There, we believe he founded the settlement of "Enoch," its remnants linked to the archaeological site of Sheikh-e Abad (34°36'42"N, 47°16'11"E). In this village, the newcomers mastered musical instruments, developed metalworking techniques, and some adopted nomadic herding, living in "tents with flocks." As a farmer, Cain likely preserved knowledge of agriculture. Favorable conditions, division of labor, and acquired skills probably fueled population growth among thes...
