- W2313144309 abstract "JB ruce M. Rothschild spends his time studying an unusual assortment of joints. As a physician specializing in arthritis, he sees men, women and children. In recent years, he has also started examining dinosaurs, American camels and other long-dead oddities. His aim: to diagnose the afflictions of ancient animals and trace the antecedents of some modern diseases. Rothschild, who practices in Youngstown, Ohio, has become a leading figure in a burgeoning field called paleopathology the study of disease and injury in fossils. Researchers who study ancient animals are beginning to view old bones in a new light, looking for abnormalities that might indicate, for instance, that dinosaurs were accident prone or extinct sea turtles developed the bends. In some cases, paleopathologists are turning to modern medical techniques such as CAT scans and immunologic tests to diagnose ancient diseases. Why should such maladies matter? Researchers involved in paleopathology say both physicians and paleontologists stand to benefit from their work. We're contributing to the understanding of disease today by studying ancient animals. But we're also learning about their lifestyles, Rothschild says. While anthropologists and medical doctors have long examined the pathologies of early human remains, paleontologists studying animal fossils have been less active in this field. Now, their interest is growing a fact made clear at November's meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Austin, Tex., when a session devoted entirely to paleopathology drew a standing-room-only crowd." @default.
