Palaeopathology of osteoarthritis
2016Palaeopathology is the study of disease in the past. Various different types of data can be used, including literature, paintings, and sculpture. In addition, for the rheumatic diseases, skeletal remains offer a particularly rich source of information for the palaeopathologist. This chapter only discusses the skeletal palaeopathology of osteoarthritis (

Syphilis 2001 a palaeopathological reappraisal
HOMO, 2002The origin and subsequent spread of the treponematoses, especially that of venereal syphilis, has been the subject of considerable scientific attention. Various theories were put forth and palaeopathological specimens were used for their validation in recent times. One influential contribution was the paper by Baker & Armelagos in 1988.

Glenoid retroversion: The palaeopathological perspective
International Journal of Paleopathology, 2015Retroversion of the glenoid articular plane has not received sufficient attention in palaeopathological studies. Occasionally mentioned in severe forms of osteoarthritis, exceptionally studied in extreme congenital forms isolated or in the context of malformation syndromes and overlooked in cases of minor dysplasia, it is nonetheless a valuable marker ...

Flatfoot: the palaeopathological diagnosis
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2006AbstractBipedal human motion is related to the original shape of the foot. Distortion and degenerative changes may be caused by failure in the complex chain of movements. There are few references to valgus flatfoot in either the palaeopathological or medical literature.

Palaeopathology is an evidence-based guide to the principal types of pathological lesions often found in human remains and how to diagnose them. Tony Waldron presents an innovative method of arriving at a diagnosis in the skeleton by applying what he refers to as 'operational definitions'. The method ensures that those who study bones will use the same

Abstract The diagnosis of a disturbance of development can be established principally by inspection of the spine, the long bones, and the skull, including an examination of the pituitary cavity, which may show an enlargement due to a tumour.

Palaeopathology: Current challenges and medical impact
Clinical Anatomy, 2016Palaeopathology is the science which studies ancient human diseases. Throughout its relatively young history it underwent tremendous technological and methodological improvements (from pure morphology and histology to CT scanning) that have constantly reshaped its scientific rationale.

Animal palaeopathology: Possibilities and problems
Journal of Archaeological Science, 1976Abstract A brief account of the range of pathological disorders affecting the skeleton and certain other tissues of animals (mainly mammals) is given to indicate a broad picture of the sort of lesions which might be encountered in archaeological contexts. Though palaeopathological bone specimens have been described since the 18th century, it is only

Palaeopathology and Evolutionary Medicine
2022This book aims to encourage more co-produced research by scholars working in evolutionary medicine (EM) and palaeopathology that addresses questions about human health, past and present. It highlights future research that may promote that collaboration between palaeopathology and EM. This chapter begins with the premise that EM and palaeopathology have
