Analysis of Osteoarthritis on Appendicular Joint Surfaces in Known Age and Sex Samples from the Terry and Spitalfields Collections

Webb, Michelle Lynn 21 April 2010 (has links)
Arthritis is one of the most common manifestations of aging and is the single largest cause of disability in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada among people age 30 years and older. Osteoarthritis of appendicular joint surfaces exhibits alterations of bony tissue in and around the joint surface. The degree to which osteoarthritis of articular surfaces occurs as a function of age and sex can be resolved with cemetery populations of known individuals, such as the Terry (19-20th century) and Spitalfields (17-18th century) collections upon which I report (n = 322; 162 males and 160 females). Using the five point scoring system 0-4 of lipping from the Chicago Standards Guide I ask whether (1) age has an influence on the accumulation of OA; (2) sex differences are present in patterns of OA; and (3) population origin is responsible for explaining intensity of OA.

Die Pferde aus dem sächsischen Gräberfeld Rullstorf (Ldkr. Lüneburg): eine anatomisch-paläopathologische Untersuchung und ein Vergleich mit rezenten Pferdepopulationen

Becker, Ilona 29 May 2019 (has links)
Gangmechanische Grundüberlegungen und skelettpathologische Erscheinungen, wie sie in der heutigen Pferdezucht bekannt sind, werden in die Bewertung der Reste von 42 Pferdeskeletten des sächsischen Gräberfeldes von Rullstorf bei Lüneburg einbezogen. Neben den üblichen Fragestellungen nach Alter, Geschlecht und Widerristhöhe wird erörtert, an welchen Knochenproportionen sich überhaupt Laufeigenschaften festmachen lassen. Dazu werden neben anderen frühmittelalterlichen auch rezente Populationen zu Vergleichen herangezogen, um eine nutzungstypologische Einordnung zu erzielen. Gelenkveränderungen der Rullstorfer Pferde werden in ihrer Ätiologie betrachtet und mit den Problemen an Gelenken heutiger Pferde verglichen. Nicht nur die reine Darstellung der Ausgrabungspferde ist ein Anliegen dieser Arbeit. Die Erkenntnisse aus den Knochenresten von Individuen längst vergangener Zeiten können auch bei der Aufklärung von Problemen heutiger Tiere einen Beitrag leisten. / Mechanics of movement and pathological signs of the skeleton, well-known in modern horsebreeding, influence the evaluation of 42 horse-skeletons of a saxon burial ground (Rullstorf near Lüneburg, Germany). Beside usual questions concerning the age, sex and wither height it is explored which proportions of bone-lenght are responsible for the character of movement at all. Horse-populations of the early Middle Ages and modern races are used for comparisons to look for the type of use. Joint changes of the Rullstorf horses are described within their etiology and compared with problems of modern horses. Not only the pure description of the excavation-horses is wanted for this paper. Rests of bones which belong to individuals of historical times can help to clear up the problems of our today-living animals.
