Abstract Horse riding is a human activity that has particularly interested bioanthropologists and paleopathologists working on the reconstruction of activities from skeletal changes in ancient populations. However, various sample methodological limitations, such as absence direct evidence connecting individuals activity, result lack confidence regarding what should be included so‐called horse syndrome. Focusing ovalization acetabulum, regularly mentioned literature, we analyzed comparative...

Abstract Recently, the combined macroscopic and statistical evaluation of 427 identified pre‐antibiotic era skeletons from Terry Collection (Washington, DC, USA) revealed that there is a positive association between tuberculous meningitis (TBM) four endocranial alteration types, namely, granular impressions (GIs), abnormal blood vessel (ABVIs), periosteal appositions (PAs), abnormally pronounced digital (APDIs). Although all lesion types can be used as diagnostic criteria for TBM in...

Abstract Aims/hypothesis Whether hypoglycaemia increases the risk of other adverse outcomes in diabetes remains controversial, especially for episodes not requiring assistance from another person. An objective Hypoglycaemia REdefining SOLutions better liVEs (Hypo-RESOLVE) project was to create and use a dataset pooled clinical trials people with type 1 or 2 examine association exposure all across range severity incident event outcomes: death, CVD, neuropathy, kidney disease, retinal...

Abstract Today, osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of TB, developing in about 1–3% patients. Although any part the skeleton can be affected by tuberculosis, spine represents most common site involvement (~50%). Spinal TB or tuberculous spondylitis typically affects 2 more contiguous vertebrae, predominantly lower thoracic (40–50%) and upper lumbar (35–40%) regions. In minority patients (less than 10%), multilevel noncontiguous occurs. By location lesions...

Abnormally pronounced digital impressions (APDIs) on the endocranial surface develop secondary to a prolonged rise in intracranial pressure. This can result from number of pathological conditions, including hydrocephalus due tuberculous meningitis (TBM). APDIs have been described with relation TBM not only modern medical literature but also several paleopathological studies. However, are pathognomonic for and their diagnostic value identifying past human populations has evaluated identified...

Abstract Investigation of warfare‐related lifestyle based on the activity‐induced skeletal changes is great interest for bioarchaeologists. Numerous studies have described various traces connected to regular practice different types weapons. However, methodological problems, such as multifactorial aetiology these presumed activity‐related changes, make it difficult evaluate which are reliable in identification and characterisation a given class individuals population. This paper aims find...

Tuberculosis (TB) was a large burden of infections that peaked during the 19th century in Europe. Mummies from 18th CE, discovered crypt church at Vác, Hungary, had high TB prevalence, as revealed by amplification key fragments DNA and genome-wide analysis. Complementary methods are needed to confirm these diagnoses one approach uses identification specific lipid biomarkers, such mycocerosic acids (MCs). Previously, MC derivatives were profiled specialised gas chromatography-mass...

Abstract Horse riding, a determinant activity in the history of human cultural evolution, remains unreliably identifiable from analysis skeletal due to various sample and methodological limitations. Through comparison between well‐documented series presumed riders non‐riders, this study aimed investigate link fractures that practice past populations. We relied on Hungarian Conquest period population (Sárrétudvari‐Hízóföld, Hungary, 10th century CE) known be composed mounted archers. recorded...

Archaeological and historical sources attest that tribes of semi-nomadic populations conquered the Carpathian Basin with powerful armies mounted archers at turn 9th 10th centuries, which led to foundation Kingdom Hungary a hundred years later. Cemeteries from period often provide cases deposits archery horse riding equipment, as well bones associated individuals in graves. The close association between these items skeletons, together well-known context, allows postulating concerned practiced...

The perpetual burden of tuberculosis (TB) keeps drawing the focus research on this disease. Among other risk factors (e.g., poor living conditions, malnutrition, smoking, HIV infection, etc.), being in close contact with a TB infected person requires special attention. For better understanding disease, paleopathological investigations concerning have been carried out various techniques for long time; nevertheless, analysis incidence among family members is hardly possible past populations....

Female burials equipped with weapons, a topic of interest among scholars and the general public, remain rare occurrences in archaeological records. The interpretation such cases requires an interdisciplinary approach comprehensive evaluation available evidence, particularly regarding sex potential lifestyle deceased. Consequently, data on specific populations, regions, time periods scarce. For instance, no case has been reported before concerning 10 th century CE Carpathian Basin, known as...

Activity-induced skeletal markers: A new way to approach the problem of archery-related graves in HungarianConquest Period.In recent decades studies activity-related markers provided important information on reconstruction past life, but there are lots questions yet.In this paper we give preliminary results our bioarchaeological investigation focused Hungarian Conquest Period populations' markers.According archaeological sources bow was common weapon Hungarians, so base question is whether...
