2. Treponematoses e outras paleopatologias em sítios arqueológicos pré-históricos do litoral sul e sudeste do Brasil / Treponematoses and other paleopathologies in prehistoric archaeological sites in the south and southeastern coast of Brazil
Embora estudadas há décadas, a origem e dispersão de treponematoses permanecem como questões das mais acirradamente discutidas. No intuito de enriquecer esta discussão, a presente tese avalia sistematicamente 45 coleções osteológicas de populações costeiras do sul-sudeste do Brasil datadas entre 5000 anos AP e 1500 AD. Foram combinadas três metodo

4. Paleopathology and osteobiography of the people of Peñuelas, Chile's semiarid north
The Museo de La Serena, IV Region, Chile has collections of skeletal remains representing the agricultural Diaguita people of 500 years ago excavated in the 1980s from the sites Peñuelas 21 and 24, Chile's semiarid north. Their excellent preservation has permitted an osteobiographical and radiographic analysis to better understand the patterns of the diseas

5. Tuberculosis in the New World: a study of ribs from the Schild Mississippian population, West-Central Illinois
Vertebral lesions have been the main evidence for infection by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) in paleopathology. Skeletal involvement is expected in a small percentage of infected individuals. Recently, several authors report a correlation between rib lesions and tuberculosis (TB) complex infection. This study tests the hypothesis that rib lesi

6. Paleopathology of the commoners at Tell Amarna, Egypt, Akhenaten's capital city
The Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten initiated worship of a single god and established a new capital city (Tell Amarna) that was built and occupied only once from 1350-1330 BCE. This single short occupation offers a unique opportunity to study a short time period. The royal tombs have long been known and studied, but the location of graves for the common inhabitan

7. Paleoepidemiology: is there a case to answer?
Paleopathology is the study of disease, physiological disruptions and impairment in the past. After two centuries of mainly descriptive studies, efforts are being made towards better methodological approaches to the study of diseases in human populations of ancient times whose remains are recovered by archaeology. Paleoepidemiology can be defined as an inter

10. The paleopathology of the cardiovascular system.
Paleopathology, the study of disease in ancient remains, adds the dimension of time to our study of health and disease. The oldest preserved heart is from a mummified rabbit of the Pleistocene epoch, over 20,000 years old. Cardiovascular disease has been identified in human mummies from Alaska and Egypt, covering a time span ranging from approximately 3,000

11. Immunological detection of hemoglobin in bones of ancient Roman times and of Iron and Eneolithic Ages.
Using an immunological method (immunoblot), we have established that hemoglobin (or hemoglobin fragments) can be quantitatively determined in old and ancient bones, some of them dating back 4500 years. It is shown that the total recovery decreases with time, but it is still effective in the older specimens. Thus, the immunological assay may prove useful to s
