1726AlbinusBS

Fragments from the book Albinus B.S. De ossibus corporis humani (1726). The author describes the attachment areas of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), as well as mentions the role of the adipose tissue of the acetabular cavity and the vessels entering it. For a discussion about the “correct” name of the LCF, see the treatise 1725AndryN.

At vero reliqua ejusdem istius sinus pars altius opportune cavata est, ipsa inaequabilis asperaque, cum ad locandam glandulam muciparam ita, ut & a femore, sive quiescentibus ossibus hisce, sive motis, plane comprimi nequeat, & tamen leviter quasi emulgeatur, tum ad educendum ligamentum dictum teres: ad quae ut vasa adrepere possent ipsum acetabulum inter superficiei istius laevis cornua insigniter deficit & quasfi diminuitur vasa tutissime admittens.

Sinum praeterea utraque capita, nonnihil sub media convexitate sua, ab interior parte habent, eumque parvum ac satis profundum & inaequabilem, cui ligamentum teres, ex acetabulo veniens, pertinacissime insertur.

…

The remainder of this [acetabular] socket is conveniently hollowed out, uneven and rough, to accommodate the mucous gland so that it cannot be completely compressed by the thigh, whether the bones are at rest or in motion, and is slightly compressed. It [the acetabular cavity] is also intended for the origin of the so-called ligamentum teres, and to allow the vessels to penetrate, the acetabular cavity itself significantly narrows between the horns of the smooth surface, allowing the vessels to pass safely.

…

In addition, each of the heads [of the femur] has a sinus on the inner side below the central convexity, which is small, rather deep and uneven, to which the ligamentum teres is attached, coming from the acetabulum.

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. [ii] Introduction According to Rabbinic Judais...
