Histology of pulmonary tuberculosis in a 19th-century mummy from Comiso (Sicily, Italy).
Int J Paleopathol
December 2024
Division of Paleopathology, Department of Translational Research and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery, University of Pisa, Italy.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate potential evidence of tuberculosis in mummified remains.
Materials: The natural mummy of an anonymous friar from the mortuary chapel of the church of Santa Maria della Grazia in Comiso (Sicily) METHODS: The mummy was studied through macroscopic examination; tissue sampling was conducted through breaches in the dorsal surface of the thorax. Radiological, histological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on the pulmonary parenchyma.
Genetic Predisposition of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Ancient Human Remains.
Ann Glob Health
January 2024
Eurac Research -Institute for Mummy Studies, Bozen/Bolzano, Italy.
Background: Several computed tomographic studies have shown the presence of atherosclerosis in ancient human remains. However, while it is important to understand the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), genetic data concerning the prevalence of the disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in our ancestors are scarce.
Objective: For a better understanding of the role of genetics in the evolution of ASCVD, we applied an enrichment capture sequencing approach to mummified human remains from different geographic regions and time periods.
Dental radiographic information of term newborn babies within the first month: Analyzing five radiographic cases along with physical attributes in Japan.
Leg Med (Tokyo)
February 2023
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Background: Although dental radiography is a valuable tool for age estimation in forensic anthropology and odontology, very limited radiological data are available regarding tooth development in healthy newborn babies during the first month of life.
Aim: This study aimed to describe the radiological findings of tooth development in babies aged 0 days to 1 month.
Design: We analyzed the postmortem findings of five newborn babies with no known natural cause of death who had undergone autopsy, computed tomography (CT), and dental radiography.
Examining pathogen DNA recovery across the remains of a 14th century Italian friar (Blessed Sante) infected with Brucella melitensis.
Int J Paleopathol
December 2022
McMaster Ancient DNA Centre, McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada; Department of Anthropology, McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada; Department of Biochemistry, McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L9, Canada.
Objective: To investigate variation in ancient DNA recovery of Brucella melitensis, the causative agent of brucellosis, from multiple tissues belonging to one individual MATERIALS: 14 samples were analyzed from the mummified remains of the Blessed Sante, a 14 century Franciscan friar from central Italy, with macroscopic diagnosis of probable brucellosis.
Methods: Shotgun sequencing data from was examined to determine the presence of Brucella DNA.
Results: Three of the 14 samples contained authentic ancient DNA, identified as belonging to B.
Widespread mineralization of soft-bodied insects in Cretaceous amber.
Geobiology
May 2022
State Key Laboratory of Palaeobiology and Stratigraphy, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology and Center for Excellence in Life and Paleoenvironment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China.
Fossilized tree resin, or amber, commonly contains fossils of animals, plants and microorganisms. These inclusions have generally been interpreted as hollow moulds or mummified remains coated or filled with carbonaceous material. Here, we provide the first report of calcified and silicified insects in amber from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin (Burmese) amber.
