Although preventing excessive hyperglycemia during critical illness may provide clinical neuroprotection, it remains debated whether normoglycemia is without risk for the brain.To address this question, we compared neuropathological alterations in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, with uncontrolled hyperglycemia, moderately controlled human illness. We further investigated time course an animal model.We analyzed brain specimens from patients who died intensive care unit critically ill...
The palace of King Ghezo in Abomey, capital the ancient kingdom Dahomey (present-day Benin), houses two sacred huts which are specific funerary structures. It is claimed that binder their walls made human blood. In study presented here, we conceived an original strategy to analyze proteins present on minute amounts cladding sampled from inner facade cenotaph wall and establish origin. extracted were proteolyzed resulting peptides characterized by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry....
The forensic community does not agree on the need to perform histological examination at autopsy. aim of our study was determine usefulness systematic standard histology in autopsies. A prospective carried out 428 autopsy cases for which systematic. Mechanism death shown by gross anatomic findings discovered about 40% cases. Cause established only 8.4% Microscopic affected manner 13% Histology provided complementary information prior medical condition deceased 49% Traumatic lesions were...
The French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat (1743–1793) was assassinated in 1793 his bathtub, where he trying to find relief from the debilitating skin disease suffering from. At time of death, annotating newspapers, which got stained with blood and were subsequently preserved by sister. We extracted sequenced DNA stain also another section newspaper, we used for comparison. Results human sequence analyses compatible a heterogeneous ancestry Marat, mother being origin father born Sardinia....
Anthropological and palaeopathological examination of four male skeletons from Qumran (Near-East) revealed skeletal lesions that may be linked to an intense practice traditional Jewish rituals within this hyper-religious community the first-century CE: chronic inflammation external auditory canals frequent immersion in sacred baths (mikvah), osteo-articular following repeated genuflection anteflexion trunk.
Abstract Ancient DNA provides a unique opportunity to study the history and spread of infectious diseases. Here, we analyzed 21 samples from collection 20th-century penis gourds (koteka) Papua New Guinea housed at Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris. Despite presence environmental species, identified human-associated bacteria and, notably, an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) genome high coverage. Phylogenetic analysis placed this strain within Guinea–Indonesian cluster. These findings...
During the Middle Ages, partition of cadaver elite members was a current practice, with highly technical treatment given to symbolic organs such as heart. Considered mostly from theoretical point view, this notion dilaceratio corporis has never been biologically explored. To assess exact kind embalming reserved heart, we performed full biomedical analysis mummified heart English King Richard I (1199 A.D.). Here show among other aspects, that organ embalmed using substances inspired by...
ABSTRACT Intentional cranial deformations (ICD) have been observed worldwide but are especially prevalent in preColombian cultures. The purpose of this study was to assess the consequences ICD on three cavities (intracranial cavity, orbits, and maxillary sinuses) vault thickness, order screen for morphological changes due external constraints exerted by deformation device. We acquired CT‐scans 39 deformed 19 control skulls. studied thickness skull using qualitative quantitative methods....
Abstract Naturally preserved and embalmed bodies from archeological contexts represent a powerful source of information for forensic investigators. They allow one to ascertain pathology, cause death, enhance diagnostic methodology, improve the analysis altered remains. We investigated complete head lung remnants 3,500‐year‐old Egyptian dignitary by radiological, microscopic, genetic approaches. The individual, middle‐aged male, suffered severe periodontitis, mild atherosclerosis, experienced...
Scientific examination of the heart Blessed Pauline Jaricot-a French missionary figure-was carried out in 2022. As tandem mass spectrometry proteotyping has proven to be valuable obtain broad taxonomic repertoire a given sample without any priori information, we aimed at exploring conditions preservation relics and possible death. Metaproteomics high-resolution microtomography imaging approaches were combined. A dataset comprising 6731 MS/MS spectra was acquired 968 these could assigned...
