Testing conditional independence in diagnostic palaeoepidemiology

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2005
AbstractLeprosy was a well‐known and dreaded disease in the Middle Ages. A substantial fraction of the adult population carried leprosy‐related lesions. Previous research analyzed the occurrence and implications of seven such lesions in samples of medieval skeletons. These analyses were carried out under the assumption of conditional independence among

Can the palaeoepidemiology of rickets during the industrialisation period in France be studied through bioarchaeological grey literature and French medico-historical literature of the 18th-early 20th centuries? Preliminary examination of a complex topic

International Journal of Paleopathology, 2021
This study explores whether data relating to rickets from the French medico-historical literature (FMHL) and bioarchaeological grey literature are useful in evaluating its epidemiology during the industrialisation of France. Unlike other European countries such as England, industrialisation in France was a slow and continuous process with two phases ...

Palaeoepidemiology of infectious diseases using aDNA analyses: pros and cons

Evidence of trauma was investigated in a well-preserved skeletal sample from the Medieval Sudanese Nubian site of Kulubnarti. The skeletal materials derive from two temporally over-lapping Christian cemeteries, dating from the sixth to circa the sixteenth century. The available sample consisted of the skeletons of 146 adults which were investigated for

La vitamine D occupe de nombreuses fonctions dans la régulation de divers systèmes affectant le corps entier. Une déficience de cette hormone peut donc affecter plusieurs systèmes essentiels (ex. squelettique, dentaire, immunitaire) et peut laisser des lésions repérables sur le squelette et les dents.
