The oldest case yet reported of osteoarthritis in a dog: an archaeological and radiological evaluation.

A century ago the remains of a dog skeleton were found in an archaeological double human burial, near Bonn-Oberkassel (Germany). Recent re-examination of the dog remains revealed that they were about 14,500 years old. Based on the growth plates, the animal was considered to be approximately 7·5 months old at the time of death. Based on the minimal humeral diameter, it was calculated that it was approximately 0·47 m tall at the shoulder and weighed approximately 15·7 kg. The right proximal ulna of this skeleton showed osteoarthritis, manifested by an osteophyte of 5×3×1·5 mm3 at its cranial edg…

Survived spondyloptosis of the thoracic spine in the Early Middle Ages (Czech Republic).

At a Slavic site Pohansko near Břeclav (Czech Republic), at the burial ground around the church (9th-10th century) 757 skeletons (208 males, 159 females, 354 sub-adults and 36 undetermined individuals), were excavated. More or less complete vertebral column was preserved in 109 adults. Among those, in the grave number 403, the skeletal remains of an adult male were found with the deformity of the spine probably caused by severe trauma (spondyloptosis). Due to the poor preservation of the caudal part of the spine, we cannot exclude diagnoses including spondylitis tuberculosa and developmental d…

Osteogenesis imperfecta in the archeological record: An example from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt.

The present study evaluates a fetal skeleton (B532) from the Romano-Byzantine period Kellis 2 cemetery (circa A.D. 50-A.D. 450), in the Dakh … tation. Although this condition has been diagnosed previously in the archeological literature, this burial represents the youngest aged example of osteogenesis imperfecta reported to date.

Infection control during filoviral hemorrhagic Fever outbreaks.

Breaking the human-to-human transmission cycle remains the cornerstone of infection control during filoviral (Ebola and Marburg) hemorrhagic fever outbreaks. This requires effective identification and isolation of cases, timely contact tracing and monitoring, proper usage of barrier personal protection gear by health workers, and safely conducted burials. Solely implementing these measures is insufficient for infection control; control efforts must be culturally sensitive and conducted in a transparent manner to promote the necessary trust between the community and infection control team in or…

Mitral valve prolapse and out-of-hospital sudden death: a case report and literature review.

The emergency medical services were called to the workplace of a 25-year-old woman who appeared to be dead. The alarm was raised by employee … tation, the victim did not revive. The death certificate was signed with a medicolegal objection to burial, leading to an inquiry. Several causes were suggested by the emergency physician who had been called to the patient, and who was unable to account for the death. Autopsy established the diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse. The authors stress that aut …

Paleopathological study of hallux valgus.

Hallux valgus is the abnormal lateral deviation of the great toe. The principal cause is biomechanical, specifically the habitual use of foo … ne from the later Medieval period. It was found that hallux valgus was restricted to later Medieval burials. This appears consistent with archaeological and historical evidence for a rise in popularity, during the late Medieval period (at least among the richer social classes), of narrow, pointed shoes which would have constricted the toes.

Treponematosis and Lyme borreliosis connections: explanation for Tchefuncte disease syndromes?

A convergence of evidence from macroscopic, radiographic and histologic examination indicates that treponemal infection was present in the 16ST1 Tchefuncte Indian burial population, dated 500 B.C. to 300 A.D. Pattern and nature of lesions suggests that chronic infection induced by variants of the spirochete Treponema pallidum, causing endemic syphilis and/or yaws, resulted in third-stage osseous response. It is suggested that Tchefuncte Indians acquired partial immunity to treponemal infection by exposure to a variant of the related spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme…

Aspects of the history of rheumatoid arthritis in the light of recent osteo-archaeological finds.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of our most common disabling diseases today. Whether or not RA also existed in ancient times has been questioned and debated in recent years. Supporters of the view of recent onset claim that evidence of the existence of RA in antiquity can be found neither in old literature nor in paintings--and most important--convincing paleopathological finds are lacking. The following presentation reviews the results of an examination of skeletons found during an excavation of a neolithic burial place in the island of Gotland, Sweden. In two skeletons there were marked per…

Leprosy at the edge of Europe-Biomolecular, isotopic and osteoarchaeological findings from medieval Ireland.

Relatively little is known of leprosy in Medieval Ireland; as an island located at the far west of Europe it has the potential to provide interesting insights in relation to the historical epidemiology of the disease. To this end the study focuses on five cases of probable leprosy identified in human skeletal remains excavated from inhumation burials. Three of the individuals derived from the cemetery of St Michael Le Pole, Golden Lane, Dublin, while single examples were also identified from Ardreigh, Co. Kildare, and St Patrick's Church, Armoy, Co. Antrim. The individuals were radiocarbon dat…

Finding ancient parasite larvae in a sample from a male living in late 17th century Korea.

Parasitological examination of samples from tombs of the Korean Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) could be helpful to researchers in understanding … ite larvae retain enough morphology to make proper species identification possible, even after long burial times, the examination of parasite larvae within ancient samples will be conducted more carefully in our future work.

Peripheral nerve regeneration using a biodegradable conduit from açaí (Euterpe oleracea): a bio-based alternative to autografts.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the regenerative efficacy of an experimental biodegradable nerve conduit composed of polycaprolactone and açaí-derived polyurethane, used for peripheral nerve repair, in comparison with different reconstructive techniques. METHODS: Wistar rats (n = 48) were allocated into six groups (n = 8): normality (NG), denervated (DG), burial (BG), nerve autograft (NAG), açaí-based neurotube (ANG), and vein autograft (VAG). Sciatic functional index, electrophysiological parameters, and histomorphometry were assessed after 12 weeks. RESULTS: NAG and ANG showed significant functional …

Cutaneous manifestations of filovirus infections.

Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus, two filoviruses belonging to the Filoviridae family, are among the most virulent pathogens for humans and non-human primates, causing outbreaks of fulminant hemorrhagic fever (HF) in Central African countries with case fatality rates of up to 90%. Fruit bats are the likely reservoir, and human infection occurs through contact with bats or infected large-animal carcasses or by person-to-person contact (through body fluids, medical care, and burial practices). Schematically, clinical manifestations occur in three successive phases and include general, gastrointestina…

Сельское население, подверженное заболеваниям вируса Эболы, позитивно реагирует на локальное рассмотрение дел: доказательства из Сьерра-Леоне.

В разгар эпидемии Эболы в Сьерра-Леоне в ноябре 2014 года был принят новый децентрализованный подход к прекращению цепочек инфицирования. Этот подход был основан на создании местных небольших общинных центров по уходу (КЦ), призванных служить в качестве сортировочных пунктов для безопасного обращения с пациентами, ожидающими результатов тестов, с последующей передачей в центры лечения Эболы (ЦЭВ) для тех, у кого была положительная реакция на Эболу. В настоящем документе рассматриваются меры, принимаемые на местном уровне в связи с КХЦ, и разъясняется, на основе качественного анализа наборов да
