Positional plagiocephaly, characterized by an asymmetric skull shape, is the most common craniofacial malformation in infancy. Associated risk factors include a preference for the supine position, first and assisted delivery, multiple pregnancy, prematurity, and congenital muscular torticollis. The diagnosis is established by clinical and anthropometric examinations. In the case of moderate or severe deformity, three-dimensional optical scanning enables a detailed depiction of the deformity and provides a safe and noninvasive tool for follow-up. Treatment mainly includes repositioning of the infant, while orthotic therapy is considered in cases of severe deformity. Cranial orthotic therapy is most effective when started between 4 and 7 months of age. The total duration of orthotic treatment ranges from 2 to 6 months. Although the clinical course of positional plagiocephaly is generally benign and the prognosis favorable, its increasing prevalence has prompted the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies over the past decade.

The present study aimed to introduce Avicenna's views on pest control and the medicinal plants he proposed as natural pesticides. Also, we addressed the strategies that he leveraged to formulate and prescribe them, and, finally, we put his views into perspective with modern science. The data were collected using Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb (The Canon of Medicine) as well as scientific databases. According to Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb, 42 medicinal plants are described as natural pest control agents. After introducing the pest control properties of each plant, Avicenna explained the appropriate strategies for use of these plants. These strategies or formulations included incensing, spraying, spreading, rubbing, smudging, and scent-dispersing, which are equivalent to the modern pesticide formulations of fumigants, aerosols, pastes and poisoned baits, lotions, creams, and slow-release formulations, respectively. This study revealed that Avicenna introduced the pest control approach with natural plants in his book Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb and, thus, harnessed the power of nature to control nature. Future research is recommended to find the pest control merits of the presented medicinal plants, in order to incorporate them into pest control programs and reduce environmental pollution resulting from the complications of current synthetic pesticides.
本研究旨在介绍阿维森纳关于虫害防治的观点以及他提出的可作为天然杀虫剂的药用植物。此外,我们还探讨了他制定和处方这些药用植物的策略,最后,我们将他的观点与现代科学相结合。我们利用《药典》(Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb)和科学数据库收集数据。根据 Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb,42 种药用植物被描述为天然害虫控制剂。在介绍了每种植物的害虫控制特性后,阿维森纳解释了使用这些植物的适当策略。这些策略或配方包括熏、喷、撒、擦、熏和散香,分别相当于现代杀虫剂的熏蒸剂、气雾剂、糊剂和毒饵、洗剂、霜剂和缓释制剂。这项研究表明,阿维森纳在其《Al-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb》一书中提出了用天然植物控制害虫的方法,从而利用自然的力量来控制自然。建议今后开展研究,找出所介绍的药用植物在害虫控制方面的优点,以便将其纳入害虫控制计划,减少目前合成杀虫剂的复杂性所造成的环境污染。

The current research aimed to analyze the history of bioterrorism in antiquity and to adapt the data to modern medical knowledge. To this end, a thorough evaluation of the literature related to the ancient history of bioterrorism and modern data was done using the Web of Sciences, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Results showed that knowledge of bioterrorism has existed since antiquity in different civilizations. Biological and toxicological agents were used as an instrument of legal execution, as a warfare tool in battles, or to eliminate political rivals across nations. Ancient people researched bioterrorism to apply it against enemies and at the same time provide countermeasures in favor of themselves and allies. Despite the existence of the principles of bioterrorism since ancient times, adaptation of the data to modern research can assist in planning countermeasure efforts, preventive actions, and treatments in the framework of modern counterterrorism medicine.
目前的研究旨在分析古代生物恐怖主义的历史,并将这些数据与现代医学知识相适应。为此,我们利用 Web of Sciences、Science Direct、Scopus、PubMed 和 Google Scholar 对与古代生物恐怖主义历史相关的文献和现代数据进行了全面评估。结果表明,生物恐怖主义的知识自古以来就存在于不同的文明中。生物制剂和毒理制剂曾被用作合法处决的工具、战争中的作战工具或消灭国家间的政治对手。古人研究生物恐怖主义的目的是将其用于对付敌人,同时为自己和盟友提供反制措施。尽管生物恐怖主义的原理自古就有,但将这些数据与现代研究相结合,有助于在现代反恐医学的框架内规划应对措施、预防行动和治疗方法。

In this publication 125 years after the violent death of the famous Empress Elisabeth (1837-1898) of Austria, known as Sisi, a modern evaluation as well as valuation will be presented. The day after her assassination by the young anarchist Luigi Lucheni using a file, a partial autopsy was performed to find out the exact cause of death-a pericardial tamponade. The complete translation of the autopsy report is part of this article, the intention being to avoid unclear wording and translation errors, which have often caused some confusion in the past. A pictorial illustration of the puncture canal will provide clarity through medical facts as to how Empress Elisabeth's death came about by correct pathological and anatomical description and, thus, counteract former interpretations.

The pathological anatomical collection Vienna (Pathologisch-Anatomische Sammlung Wien; PASW) is a living and still growing research collection. It was established as early as 1796 as part of the Medical University of Vienna, acquired the status of an independent federal museum in 1971, and was assigned to the Natural History Museum Vienna in 2012. It houses a wide range of human wet and dry specimens and further objects, such as moulages, medical devices, microbiological and histological specimens, and a photo archive (approximately 50,000 objects), which, as a meaningful source, may contribute to disclosing not only aspects of the medical history and the development of corresponding museums in Vienna, but is also considered a collection of cultural and current scientific relevance, quite comparable to today's biobanks. Most of the tissue amassment represents wet organic specimens and human skeletons or skeletal elements representing, e.g., congenital and metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, injuries, neoplasms, or musculoskeletal diseases, basically collected as descriptive anatomical teaching aids. This article reviews the current medical issues on which research has been and is being conducted by including PASW specimens (hereby using the ICD-10 code), and the extent to and ethical conditions under which this important heritage could be used as a reference collection for clinical and bioanthropological (paleopathological and palaeoepidemiological) studies; finally, this article reflects on the value and future research prospects, taking into account different positions and the ongoing discussions in pathological anatomical human tissue collections.

It has long been known in historical research that the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian II (1527-1576) suffered from heart complaints throughout his life. Numerous biographers mention this fact. His medical history and even the results of the autopsy of his body have been handed down; however, it has not been sufficiently investigated how Maximilian's physicians explained his heart condition, often referred to as "tremor cordis", and what causes and triggers they held responsible for this complaint in general and in the specific case of their famous patient. This article addresses these questions, primarily on the basis of a detailed consultation by the imperial personal physician Andrea Gallo, dating from 1555. Gallo's consilium, which has been ignored by scholares so far, first summarizes the state of knowledge on heart tremors at that time. It then turns to Maximilian's case and provides revealing insights into his mental state.
