Quote pp. 283-284

Im Zusammenhange mit dem in der Fossa acetabuli gelegenen, weichen Gewebe steht ein von Blutgefässen durchzogener Bindegewebsstrang, welcher breit und flach und mit zwei Schenkeln entspringt. Von diesen erhebt sich einer vom Rande der Pfannengrube, während der andere sich von der Aussenwand der Kapsel loslöst und unter dem Querbande herzieht, um, mit dem anderen. vereinigt, zu der Grube an demGelenkkopfe des Oberschenkels zu gelangen, wo er sich in die von Knorpel nicht überzogene Vertiefung in mehr rundlicher Form anheftet. Diese Bildung, ligamentum teres (lig. rotundum femoris, lig. interarticulare coxae), stellt eigentlich eine Umschlagstelle der Synovialmembran von der Gelenkgrube zum Gelenkkopfe dar, in welche gefässreiches, lockeres Bindegewebe eingelagert ist.

Ueber die Bedeutung des Ligamentum teres gehen die Meinungen der verschiedenen Anatomen noch auseinander. Früher wurde es allgemein als ein Hemmungsband bei verschiedenen Bewegungen des Hüftgelenkes, namentlich gegen die Rotation nach aussen angesehen. Diese Meinung wurde neuerdings verlassen, da exacte Versuche zeigten, dass Hemmungen, bei welchen sich das Lig. teres anspannen könnte, gleichzeitig oder schon vorher durch andere Bildungen, vorzugsweise durch das viel stärkere Lig ileo femorale superius, zu Stande kommen, so dass die Spannung des Lig teres bei halbér Beugung des Schenkels mit Adduction und bei der Rotation nach aussen keine sehr straffe ist. In neuerer Zeit wird die Bedeutung des Lig. teres als Hemmungsband noch aufrecht erhalten von H. Meyer, Struthers, W. Braune. Eine andere Meinung spricht dem Lig. teres die Bedeutung eines Leitbandes von Gefässen zu dem Schenkelkopfe hin zu Nach meinen Beobachtungen muss ich dieser Meinung beipflichten , wenn auch H. Welcker in 1/3 der untersuchten Fälle (genauer 9 mal unter 30 Fällen) keine Gefässporen in der Fovea capitis auffand. Meinen Beobachtungen nach fehlen die Gefässporen in etwa einem Fünftheile der Fälle, jedoch fast ausschliesslich bei vollständig erwachsenen Individuen, während sie bei jugendlichen Individuen vorhanden sind. Ich halte daher das Ligamentum teres für den Gefässträger der Epiphyse , während nach der Vereinigung mit der Diaphyse die Gefässe der letzteren die Ernährung der Epiphyse in ausgedehnterem Maasse mit übernehmen und die Gefässe des Bandes atrophiren können. Die dem Ligam. teres von Welcker vindicirte Aufgabe, die Synovia im Gelenke herumzutreiben, kann von dem Bande nebenbei übernommen werden, wie dies in dem Schultergelenke von der Sehne des Biceps brachii ebenfalls nebenbei geschieht.

Vertebrates

VERTEBRATES According to the molecular clock, a specific method for dating phylogenetic events, vertebrates (Vertebrata) separated from arthropods (Arthropoda) 976±97 Ma (2004HedgesSB_ShoeJL). The latter began to dominate in species diversity with the Cambrian burst of radiation, which occurred 520 Ma (2010EdgecombeGD). This ratio in the fauna of the Earth is still preserved. Approximately 525 Ma, the phylum Chordates separated from the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (1995ChenJY_ZhouGQ). In turn, the evolution of chordate organisms led to the formation of the first vertebrates at least 500 Ma, from which the jawed mouths 450-400 Ma descended, becoming the ancestors of the placoderms or "armored" fish (Placodermi) (1979 НаумовНП _ КарташевНН ).

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.
