Twins found in a Late Dynastic/Coptic Egyptian mummy
During research conducted in 2019 regarding pelvic shape in population groups and its effects on successful delivery, one of the individuals studied was a Late Dynastic/Coptic Egyptian female mummy approximately 14-17 years old (USNM catalogue number 258601). She had an associated fetus that was wrapped and placed between her legs during mummification (USNM 258602). In 1908, the mother and child were excavated and autopsied for analysis. Field no…
Insights into the diagnostic efficacy and macroscopic appearance of endocranial bony changes indicative of tuberculous meningitis
Recently, the combined macroscopic and statistical evaluation of 427 identified pre-antibiotic era skeletons from the Terry Collection (Washington, DC, USA) revealed that there is a positive association between tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and four endocranial alteration types, namely, granular impressions (GIs), abnormal blood vessel impressions (ABVIs), periosteal appositions (PAs), and abnormally pronounced digital impressions (APDIs). Althoug…

Evaluating life history trade‐offs through the presence of linear enamel hypoplasia at Pueblo Bonito and Hawikku
OBJECTIVES: Due to the indelible nature of enamel, bioarchaeologists use linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) to detect early investments in surviving stress and have identified an association between LEH presence and constraints in growth and maintenance as well as an increased susceptibility to future stress events. This study evaluates heterogenous frailty and susceptibility to death in relation to episodes of early life stress, as reflected by LEH …
Adapting in the Arctic
OBJECTIVES: This study compares lower limb diaphyseal robusticity between Native Alaskan hunter-gatherers to reconstruct patterns of mobility and engagement with terrain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ancestral remains included in this study date between 600 and 1800 C.E. and were divided into three regions: Coastal Bay, Far North Coastal, and Inland/Riverine. Cross-sectional properties were determined at femoral and tibial midshafts and standardized by…
The Taunton Stop Line and Its Camouflage
The Taunton Stop Line was a defensive work built in the second half of 1940 to contain a possible German invasion of the south-west peninsula of Britain. The line ran across the ‘waist of the South West’ from the mouth of the river Parrett (in Somerset) to the mouth of the River Axe at Seaton (in Devon). This was a massive feat of construction involving both military and civilian personnel working under the threat of an imminent German invasion. …
Did Neandertals have large brains? Factors affecting endocranial volume comparisons
Our results demonstrate that Neandertals do not have uniquely large brains when compared with recent humans. Their brain size falls in the large end of the recent human range of variation, but does not exceed it. These results have implications for future research on Neandertal encephalization

Rare manifestations of spinal tuberculosis in the Robert J. Terry Anatomical Skeletal Collection (National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA)
Today, osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of TB, developing in about 1–3% of patients. Although any part of the skeleton can be affected by tuberculosis, the spine represents the most common site of involvement (~50%). Spinal TB or tuberculous spondylitis typically affects 2 or more contiguous vertebrae, predominantly in the lower thoracic (40–50%) and upper lumbar (35–40%) regions. In the minority of patients…
Five Cases of Dental Anomalies Attributable to Congenital Syphilis from Early 20th Century American Anatomical Collections
Specific dental abnormalities are considered pathognomonic of congenital syphilis (CS); however, European physicians recognized their variation during the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. Observations of syphi-lis-related dental abnormalities in American individuals from similar time periods are made to determine types of variation among the American population.From a survey of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History anat…

Propaganda and the Public
In the Mekong Delta province of Mỹ Tho, village populations paid attention to print and electronic media controlled by the Government of Vietnam in Saigon and by the National Liberation Front during the early 1960s. They also relied for news on rumours and on information circulating on the grapevine. At first, NLF militants benefited from their dialogue with an ascendant rural public. But after 1965 mounting violence complicated Front efforts to …

Temporal trends in femoral diaphyseal torsional asymmetry among the Arikara associated with postural behavior
Average femoral torsion has been reported to differ among populations, and several studies have observed a relatively high prevalence of femoral anteversion asymmetry in Native Americans, especially females. This study investigates sexual dimorphism and temporal trends in femoral torsional asymmetry among the Arikara from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. To establish if there are population differences, femoral torsion was first m…

Racial Disparities in the Frequency of Patient Safety Events
BACKGROUND: Although there is extensive evidence of racial disparities in processes and outcomes of medical care, there has been limited investigation of disparities in patient safety. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there are racial disparities in the frequency of adverse events studied in the Medicare Patient Safety Monitoring System. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Abstraction of 102,623 randomly selected charts from hospital discharges of non-Hispanic w…
Inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality
BACKGROUND: While the relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established, the role that traditional cardiovascular risk factors play in this association remains unclear. The authors examined the association between education attainment and CVD mortality and the extent to which behavioural, social and physiological factors explained this relationship. METHODS: Adults (n=38,355) aged 40-69 years li…
Dirty Wars
Counterinsurgency doctrine emerged in the early 1960s as the Kennedy administration sought a politically progressive alternative to 'pacification' campaigns waged by the French against the Vietnamese revolution. But its architects could not come up with a substitute for the conventional military reliance on massive firepower, which brought devastation to the Vietnamese people and failed to crush the 'Viet Cong.' The Americans were again unsuccess…
Identification of Hospital-Acquired Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections From Medicare Claims
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Hospital-acquired catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the first 6 conditions Medicare is targeting to reduce payment associated with hospital-acquired conditions under Congressional mandate. This study was to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) and sensitivity in identifying patients in Medicare claims who had urinary catheterization and who had hospital-acquired CAUTIs. RESEARCH DESIG…
The Face of the Wolf is Blessed, or is It? Diverging Perceptions of the Wolf
Evidence shows divergent perceptions of the wolf in different parts of the world. The populations of Asia, the Near East and the indigenous peoples of North America see the wolf positively, as an ideal hunter, warrior and survivor in the wilderness, although shepherds and animal-herders in these regions seem to have an ambivalent attitude towards the animal. Among many of the peoples mentioned above, there appears to be a desire to emulate the wo…
The frequency of os acromiale in the Robert J. Terry Collection
Normal fusion of the acromion process in humans begins at about age 15 and should complete ossification by age 22-25. Os acromiale occurs when fusion of the acromial epiphysis does not follow its normal ossification pattern, resulting in the retention of a separate epiphyseal end to the acromial process. Depending on how the metaphyseal junctures fuse, differential size and shape of the unattached acromial segment is produced. As a result of shou…
History and demographic composition of the Robert J. Terry anatomical collection
Robert J. Terry began collecting human skeletal remains in the area of St. Louis, Missouri for research and educational purposes in 1898. He continued collecting skeletal specimens in the Anatomy Department at Washington University until his retirement in 1941. Mildred Trotter succeeded Terry as anatomy professor and continued his collecting, and strove to balance the demographic distribution of the collection. In 1967, after her retirement, the …
Clovis and Early Archaic Crania from the Anzick Site (24PA506), Park County, Montana
The Anzick archaeological site in Montana, known since 1968, has been recognized since 1974 as Clovis age because of the lithic material recovered. Now it is possible to assert that some, but not all, of the recovered skeletal material is also Clovis age. The site contained more than 100 stone and nonhuman bone artifacts in association with the partial skeletal remains of a young child. All were covered with red ocher. The partial cranium of a se…

Colour Symbolism in the Folk Literature of the Caucasus
Colour associations are analysed indirectly by a study of oral traditions and legends, using methods developed in structural anthropology. Colours are considered not in isolation, but mainly in contrasting pairs or in sequences. It has been found that a specific colour could have different associations in different conditions, and that generally the associations are more abstract than concrete

Popular uprisings in the town of Etampes and in the Seine-et-Oise Department deserve to be counted among the campaigns leading to the Republic of 1792. Participants in these revolts, whose first, relatively modest objective was to enforce the just price and the customary rules of the market place, gradually came to formulate a more comprehensive political strategy. The republic they were beginning to envision was not a mere juridical form, but a …

The influence of sex chromosomes on finger dermatoglyphic patterns
Finger pattern frequencies for patients exhibiting various sex chromosome aneuploidies were obtained from literature sources. The sample consisted of 141 XO, 500 XX, 68 XXX, 9 XXXX, 500 XY, 93 XYY, 30 XXYY and 6 XXXXY. Pattern frequencies were converted to radial and ulnar loop frequencies, and these in turn were used to construct four variables; pattern intensity; radial-ulnar difference; radial loop asymmetry; and ulnar loop asymmetry.

The successors of Constantine
In dealing with the established institutions of Rome, where Constantine had already charted the pragmatic course which would be followed by his Christian successors through the century, the emperor faced constraints against the thoroughgoing eradication of paganism which the will of God ideally required - and of which Constans and his brother were eloquently reminded about this time in Firmicus Maternus' pamphlet On the Error of Profane Religions…
How (not) to exempt Platonic Forms from Parmenides' Third Man
One response invited by the Third Man Argument (or "TMA") of Plato's Parmenides is that it simply fails against the middle-period theory of Forms, not so much because its premises radically misconstrue that theory, but because there are good reasons endemic to the theory itself (and not simply introduced ad hoc) for exempting the Forms from at least some of the principles which drive the argument

In their discussions of the August Revolution and of the 1953–56 land reform and the Air War in the North and the Diem and Thieu regimes in the South, these books rework old controversies, thereby demonstrating the pertinence and limits of received paradigms.
