Palaeopathology This page intentionally left blank Palaeopathology Paleopathology is designed to help bone specialists with diagnosis of diseases in skeletal assemblages. It suggests an innovative method of arriving at a diagnosis in the skeleton by applying ‘operational definitions’. The aim is to ensure that all those who study bones will use the same criteria for diagnosing disease, which will enable valid comparisons to be made between studies. This book is based on modern clinical knowledge and provides background information so that readers understand the natural history of bone diseases, which will enable them to draw reliable conclusions from their observations. Details of bone metabolism and the fundamentals of basic pathology are also provided, as well as a comprehensive and up- to-date bibliography. A short chapter on epidemiology provides information on how best to analyze and present the results of a study of human remains. Professor Tony Waldron teaches paleopathology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. The author of about 300 peer-reviewed papers in medical, scientific and archaeology journals, as well as books on occupational medicine and paleoepidemiology, Waldron is co-founder of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology and served as co- editor for its first decade. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal Society of Medicine, the Institute of Biology and the Royal Anthropological Institute.

CHARGE association denotes the non-random occurrence of ocular coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development, genital hypoplasia, ear anomalies and deafness (OMIM #214800). Almost all patients with CHARGE association are sporadic and its cause was unknown. We and others hypothesized that CHARGE association is due to a genomic microdeletion or to a mutation in a gene affecting early embryonic development. In this study array- based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) was used to screen patients with CHARGE association for submicroscopic DNA copy number alterations. De novo overlapping microdeletions in 8q12 were identified in two patients on a genome-wide 1 Mb resolution BAC array. A 2.3 Mb region of deletion overlap was defined using a tiling resolution chromosome 8 microarray. Sequence analysis of genes residing within this critical region revealed mutations in the CHD7 gene in 10 of the 17 CHARGE patients without microdeletions, including 7 heterozygous stop-codon mutations.

AUB (From the Medical Clinic of the Massachutsetts General Hospital, Boston) (Received for publication February 5, 1929) INTRODUCTION In a previous paper (1) we have pointed out certain characteristic responses in the calcium and phosphorus metabolisms resulting from parathormone4 administration to essentially normal individuals. In the present paper, similar studies will be reported on a patient who presented a condition suggestive of idiopathic hyperparathyroidism. CASE HISTORY The patient, Mr. C. M., sea captain, aged 30, was transferred from the Bellevue Hospital Service to the Special Study Ward of the Massachusetts General Hospital through the courtesy of Dr. Eugene F. DuBois, for further investigation of his calcium metabolism and for consideration of parathyroidectomy. His complete case history has been reported by Hannon, Shorr, McClellan and DuBois (2). It describes a man invalided for over three years with symptoms resulting from a generalized skeletal decalcification.

  • Paleopathological Analysis of a Sub-Adult Allosaurus Fragilis (MOR
    Paleopathological analysis of a sub-adult Allosaurus fragilis (MOR 693) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation with multiple injuries and infections by Rebecca Rochelle Laws A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Rebecca Rochelle Laws (1996) Abstract: A sub-adult Allosaurus fragilis (Museum of the Rockies specimen number 693 or MOR 693; "Big Al") with nineteen abnormal skeletal elements was discovered in 1991 in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Big Horn County, Wyoming at what became known as the "Big Al" site. This site is 300 meters northeast of the Howe Quarry, excavated in 1934 by Barnum Brown. The opisthotonic position of the allosaur indicated that rigor mortis occurred before burial. Although the skeleton was found within a fluvially-deposited sandstone, the presence of mud chips in the sandstone matrix and virtual completeness of the skeleton showed that the skeleton was not transported very far, if at all. The specific goals of this study are to: 1) provide a complete description and analysis of the abnormal bones of the sub-adult, male, A. fragilis, 2) develop a better understanding of how the bones of this allosaur reacted to infection and trauma, and 3) contribute to the pathological bone database so that future comparative studies are possible, and the hypothesis that certain abnormalities characterize taxa may be evaluated. The morphology of each of the 19 abnormal bones is described and each disfigurement is classified as to its cause: 5 trauma-induced; 2 infection-induced; 1 trauma- and infection-induced; 4 trauma-induced or aberrant, specific origin unknown; 4 aberrant; and 3 aberrant, specific origin unknown.

In conclusion, insufficient calcium intake during the developmental period resulted in debilitated(3etaphysis tibia, whereas dietary therapy using combined ipriflavone and 1␣-OH-D3 promoted recovery. Introduction patients become refractory after several days of administration, which is known as the calcitonin Recently dietary therapies, physiologic active sub- escape phenomenon, therefore, it is not considered stances, exercise, and/or bone resorption inhibitors a suitable therapy for osteoporosis3).
