HIPPOCRATIS. MOCHLICUS, SEV VECTIARIUS.

Caput I.

Ossa hunc in modum a natura sunt coparata. Digitorum quidem, tum ossiu, tum articulorum, simplex est junctura. In manu vero & pede, cum multa alia varie connectuntur, tu maxima sunt quae supremo loco committuntur. Calcis unum os est, quale foras prominet, quo etiam a posteriore parte tedines tendunt. Tibiae duo ossa sunt supra & infra coherentia, medio vero loco distantia. Quod exterius tendit, parvum & juxta parvum digitum paulo tenuius. Plurima vero hac parte distantia, minoreque momento ad genu inclinatio est, ex quo exterior poplitis tendo ortu habet. Inferiore autem parte commune habent ossis accretione, qua pes movetur, & superiore parte alteram, ubi femoris articulus simplex & longitudine succinctus movetur, tuberculorum speciem referens, & patellam habens. Ipsum vero femur exteriore & anteriore parte incurvatur. Ejus caput ossis est accrementum, rotundum, ex quo nervus (νεῦρον) qui in coxendicis acetabulo est, originem ducit. Cujus aliquantulum obliqua est connexio, minus tame quam braehii. Coxendix autem magne vertebre, quae; est ad os sacrum, ex vinculo cartilaginoso & nervoso inhaerescit. At spina a sacro quidem osse ad magnam vertebram usq; in gibbum curvatur. Vesicaq; & geniturae pars destinata, rectiq; intestini quod est inclinatum, ibisedem habet. Inde vero ad septum transversum, recta interiorem in partem inclinata tendit, qua parte lumboru muasculi […] dicti existunt. Ab ea quoque parte ad magnam vertebram, quae est tupra summam humerorum partem, recta in gibbum elevatur, imo vero hujusmodi magis apparet, quam sit. Posteriores enim vertebraru processus ea parte maxime eminent. Ipse aute cervicis articulus anteriore in parte inclinat. Vertebrae aute interiore parte inter se sunt aequabiles, exteriore vero cartilaginibus & nervis continentur: Eae quoq; in posteriore medullae spinalis parte, articuloru modo inter se committuntur; Parte autem posteriore processum acutum habent, cum adnata cartilagine, unde exoriuntur nervi qui proni feruntur, non secus ac musculi a cervice ad lumbos adnascuncur, qui costarum & spine intermedium complent. Costae vero ad vertebraiu interstitia, nervo annectuntur, a cervice ad lumbos interiorem in parte tendentes. Anteriore autem parte ad pectus, laxu & molle extremum habentes, forma prae caeteris animatibus maxime recurva cernutur: hac enim parte homo mole est angustissima. Quae costae no sunt, processus obliquus, brevis & latus, ad singulas vertebras nervo annexus est. At pectus sibiipsi cohaeret, qua parte costae annectutur obliqua interstitia habens, laxum quoque & cartilagineum; claviculae parte anteriore rotundae, ad pectus quidem breves motus, ad summum vero humerum crebriores habent. Sumus aute humerus (...dicitur) ex lato scapularum osse ortum ducit, in plurimis non aequabiliter. Latum vero scapulatu os ad spinam cartilagineum, reliqua parte laxum, foris inaequabile, cervicem & cavum cartilagineu habens, ex quo costae motionem ducunt, quod facile inter ossa, si brachium demas, dissolvitur. Hujus caput ex cavitate nervulo annexum est, teneram cartilaginem & rotundam adnatam habens; ipsum autem exteriore parte incurvum, & anteriore obliquum, ad cavitatem recta no fertur. Quod vero est ad cubiti gibbum, latum, tuberculosum, oblongas cavitates habens & solidum, posteriore parte cavum est, in quod cubici processus adnatus (qui ... dicitur) ubi manus extenditur, inseritur, quo etia torpidus nervus qui ex medio cubiti ossium intestitio enascitur, terminatur.

Soligalich , icon, Jacob wrestling with the angel ( 13 cent. ). Depicting the circumstances and mechanism of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) injury based on the description in the Book of Genesis: 25 And Ja cob wa s left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him. … 33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 5

Short retelling of chapter 5 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 5. ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living." From a genetic perspective, they are depicted as siblings, with an age difference of 18–25 years. According to the biblical epic, they formed humanity’s first family, sustaining themselves on pre-existing fruits and seeds. Their initial home was the "garden in Eden," located "in the east" relative to the narrator. The text identifies geographic markers for Eden’s location: lands like "Asshur," "Cush," and "Havilah," and rivers named "Pishon," "Gihon," "Hiddekel," and "Phrath." The narrator also notes the region’s economic value, mentioning "gold," ...

Variants and Phases of LCF Pathology

Version : 20240418 Classification depending on the combination of factors leading to the pathology of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) VARIANTS OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Simple 2. Combined We subdivide the phases of LCF pathology depending on the time elapsed after exposure. PHASES OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Acute 2. Subacute 3. Chronic 4. Permanent 5. Old Acute LCF pathology develops rapidly, sometimes instantaneously, as in the case of trauma. Chronic LCF pathology refers to a gradually progressing process that has started and persisted for a long time. The term subacute phase in LCF pathology is used when the process progresses and resolves within three weeks to four months. Permanent LCF pathology implies continuous periodic impact leading to pathological changes. An example of permanent pathology is walking with altered physical properties of the densely formed connective tissue comprising the LCF stroma. Old LCF pathology denotes a pathological change that...

Du côté du fémur, tête hémisphérique encroûtée de cartilage et présentant à sa partie supérieure et interne une dépression qui loge un ligament inter-articulaire. Du côté de l'os iliaque , cavité cotyloïde, profonde , échancrée sur sa circonférence, surtout à sa partie antérieure et inférieure, et présentant dans sa partie profonde une dépression remplie de tissu adipeux rougeâtre, improprement appelé glande cotyloïdienne.

VII. p. 64. … outre que l'articulation du bras n'a que des ligamens fort lâches, & n'est point assujettie par un ligament rond comme la cuisse, d'où vient qu'il fait toutes sortes de mouvemens avec vitesse. Quote 2. Ch. XII. p. 106. 4. Il y a un ligament rond qui s'oppose à la luxation. Ce ligament prend son origine de la tête du femur, & s'insere dans la cavité de l'ischion; à la verité il ne s'insere pas directement au fond de la cavité ny au milieu de la tête, ce qui fait qu'il ne peur pas s'opposer à toutes les especes de luxations, comme nous le ferons voir dans les differences.
