Case study of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease observed in Radom (Poland, 18th–19th century) with literature review
The aim of this study is to present the pathological lesions observed in a skeleton (male, about 35–38 years old) from Radom (Poland), dated to the 18th–19th century. Bone changes were observed in both femurs and both pelvic bones. The head of the femur is enlarged and deformed, described as “mushroom-shaped”, with areas of smooth cortex and cavities, or possible cystic residues. The neck of femur is short and thick. The bone shaft and distal epi…
Functional morphometry of the pterygoid hamulus. A comparative study of modern and medieval populations
The pterygoid hamulus (PH) is located in the infratemporal fossa and is part of the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone. Its location on the cranial base and the multitude of anatomical structures whose attachments lie on the surface of the pterygoid hamulus make it of high functional and topographic significance. Due to insufficient literature on the PH morphometry, we decided to study this issue using modern and archaeological material. In t…
Study of skin of an Egyptian mummy using a scanning electron microscope
The first study of modified human remains using an electron microscope was carried out at the end of the 1950 and in 1979 the first result of the study involving a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was published for the first time. The study was mainly focused on the structure of tissues and cells. With the help of this technique cell and tissue elements, viruses and bacterial endospores as well as the structure of epithelium and the collagen co…
Anaemia (thalassaemia) in the Middle Euphrates Valley of Syria in the second-fourth centuries AD
A Probable Case of Thalassemia Intermedia from Tell Masaikh, Syria
In this report, we describe the first potential case of hereditary anaemia from the Middle Euphrates valley (Syria). The skeletal changes identified in the studied specimen were consistent with marrow hyperplasia, and the distribution, especially the involvement of the facial bones, the sternum and ribs, was suggestive of thalassemia. The identified haplotype indicates M4b1 haplogroup suggesting that the analysed specimen was either a newcomer fr…
Congenital syphilis in the skeleton of a child from Poland (Radom, 18th–19th century AD)
An incomplete skeleton of a 3-year-old child with suspected congenital syphilis was found in the Radom area of Poland. Squama frontalis and zygomatic bones are characterized by significant bone loss. Radiographic pictures show a geographic destructive lesion of a serpiginous shape surrounded by a zone of reactive osteosclerosis in the squama frontalis. The radiographic findings included a slight widening and contour irregularities of the distal h…
Multiple anomalies in the atlanto-occipital joint (articulation atlanto-occipitalis)
Contemporary populations exhibit numerous skeletal anatomical variations and the atlanto-occipital joint (articulation atlanto-occipitalis) is often the location of such variations. A female skeleton dated at 4000 BC and excavated at Meroe in the Sudan provides an example of numerous variations in the basilar skull and cervical vertebrae. These variations consist of the presence of a bilateral atlanto-occipital joint with a third trochanter, a un…
Palaeopathology and Differential Diagnosis—A Probable Case of Secondary Infection (Tell Masaikh, Syria)
Palaeopathology integrates knowledge and methods from physical anthropology and medicine. It aims to obtain information concerning the type of pathological conditions, their antiquity, palaeoepidemiology and etiology in past populations. However, practice shows that despite the use of new techniques, it is often difficult or impossible to make a correct differential diagnosis of diseases based on the study of archaeological skeletal series. Here …
