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.

Australopithecus afarensis

AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS In 1735, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) placed humans as a species «Homo nosce te ipsum» in the order Anthropomorpha along with monkeys and sloths (1735LinneC). In a publication in 1758, the naturalist transferred humans to the order Primates (1758LinneC). Today, humans and chimpanzees are united in the tribe Hominini, as descended from a common ancestor (2001GrovesCP). It has been established that the chromosome that distinguishes humans from monkeys was formed before 4.5 Ma (2022PoszewieckaB_GambinA). The hominin subfamily Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived in the Republic of Chad (Central Africa) from 7.2±0.31 to 6.8±0.45 Ma (2008LebatardAE_BrunetM; 2012ReynoldsSC_GallagherA). Reconstruction of its musculoskeletal system showed that the creature could have been an upright bipedal primate (2005ZollikoferCP_BrunetM). Fossils of what is probably the first bipedal representative of the hominid family Orrorin tugenensis, lived 6.1-5.7 Ma and still retained adapta...

Tiktaalik roseae

TIKTAALIK ROSEAE The first truly tetrapod animal (Limbed tetrapods) is recognized as the lobe-finned fish Tiktaalik roseae (clade Elpistostegalia), discovered in rocks aged about 375 Ma (2006DaeschlerEB_JenkinsJrFA; 2008ShubinN; 2017ShubinN). Discoveries in recent years have allowed us to place the taxa of early tetrapodomorphs in the following order: Tinirau, Eusthenopteron, Megalichthys, Panderichthys, Qikiqtania, Tiktaalik, Elpistostege, Parmastega, Ventastega, Acanthostega, Elginerpeton, Ymeria, Ichthyostega (2022StewartTA_ShubinNH). The closest ancestor of Tiktaalik roseae, the fragments of the skeleton of which are relatively well preserved, is Panderichthys.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 3

Short retelling of chapter 3 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 3. THE DAWN OF SURGERY The animal kingdom exhibits numerous forms of social support, many of which lay the groundwork for rudimentary medical practices. Insects like bees, fish such as cichlids, amphibians like bullfrogs, reptiles like crocodiles, and most birds and mammals demonstrate care for their offspring. Lions and wolves feed injured kin, while buffalo and flocking birds collectively defend against predators. Marine mammals assist struggling companions to the surface for air, and elephants help free trapped herd members from mud or aid them in standing. These behaviors hint at the origins of altruism, a trait that extends to early medical instincts. Animals also engage in self-medication and basic healing. Birds employ various techniques to combat ectoparasites, while moths, ant...

New Biomechanics in Illustrations

The New Biomechanics of the Hip Joint: A Pictorial Essay S.V. Arkhipov INTRODUCTION First in the history of humanity, the mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and the pathomechanics of walking associated with its damage is found in the ancient literary monument “Book of Genesis” (32:24-24,31-32), created approximately 3600 years ago (2019Arkhipov_Skvortsov; 2023 Архипов ). Fig. 1 The LCF = ligamentum teres of the hip joint, drawing by H.V. Carter (1870Grey). Fig. 2 Pencil drawing “Crossing of the Jabbok River” based on the “Book of Genesis” 32:22 (author: Lyudmila Arkhipova, 2008). The first description of LCF in a medical text is given by Hippocrates of Kos in the treatise “Instruments of Reductions” or “ Mochlicus ”, written in the V-IV centuries BCE (1844Littre). We know that with the normal LCF, walking it is light, rhythmic, and symmetrical, but we don't know “why ”. See video: Supplement 1 Normal Walking We don't even know why we wi...
