    Abstract The embalmed head of a young South American man is housed in the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the University of Turin. This man, who suffered a violent facial trauma, was intentionally beheaded after his death, and his head was embalmed. The aim of this study was to determine the age at death, the cause of death and the embalming techniques by means of CT scanning, 3D reconstruction, X-rays, histology, endoscopy and scanning electron microscopy followed by microanalysis.

    Abstract The aim of this work is to develop a methodology that will allow the identification and study of dermatoglyphics in ancient archaeological finds of biological nature. Dermatogliphs are one of the many instruments used as a safe method of personal identification in forensics and in the study of human populations. Because living human groups are the direct descendants of ancient peoples, anthropological studies of mummified remains are of great importance in the reconstruction of the cultural and biological identity of the people of the past. Two feet and a hand of pre-Dynastic mummified remains belonging to the Egyptian Marro collection of the Museum of Anthropology and Etnography of Turin have been evaluated. In order to recuperate papillary signs, the most recent techniques used in forensics have been used. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses have been performed. This work brings together anthropological and forensic knowledge, and opens the opportunity for a new field of studies in which it is possible to apply recent findings in dactiloscopy to ancient mummies.

    Abstract Prof. Massimo Cocchi, one of the most experienced scientists in nutritional biochemistry, past and honorary President of the Italian Society for Experimental Biology (Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale), passed away on May 19th, 2022, in his house in San Lazzaro di Savena (Bologna). He was a man of the highest value both from the scientific and from the human point of view. He was a landmark for a lot of students, as well as for his friends and colleagues who always appreciated his high moral standing and his immeasurable competence not only in the scientific field which was the subject of his work during all life, but also in many other fields of biology and medicine, so that anyone who met him could always receive a suggestion or a reliable scientific opinion.

    Abstract Mummy 527 B* belongs to the “Giovanni Marro” Egyptian Collection of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the University of Turin. This mummy of a oneyear- old pre-dynastic child was found in Gebelein in 1935 in a small necropolis discovered during excavations of the “Missione Archeologica Italiana” led by G. Farina, the new Director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, with the participation of Prof. G. Marro as anthropologist. A whole body spiral CT scan with thin slices (1,00 mm thickness, 0,5 mm reconstruction interval) was followed by multiplanar and 3D reconstruction. The aim was to evaluate the child’s age at death and the presence of lethal pathologies. This study confirms the fundamental role of non-invasive techniques in the study of such rare pre-dynastic specimens.

    Abstract The “Mummy in the Dress” belongs to the Egyptian Collection Giovanni Marro of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the University of Turin. It was recovered in Gebelein during an excavation campaign carried out at the beginning at the XX century by the Missione Archeologica Italiana under the leadership of its founder, E. Schiaparelli, Director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin. The mummy wore a pleated dress over its bandages. The body lies in a natural position, resting on its left side, on the remains of a wooden coffin. A team of anthropologists, chemists, Egyptologists and radiologists is studying the mummy with the aim of determining sex, age, embalming techniques and date of deposition. CT scans and 3D reconstruction of the mummy were carried out to enable the researchers to ascertain its sex and age, to verify what clothes enshrouded the body, to investigate its state of preservation and to learn more about the ancient techniques employed to assemble the wooden coffin.

    Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions, each of which represents a risk factor for cardiovascular disease: central obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. In different recent studies, MetS has been associated with an accelerate cognitive decline in the elderly. The aim of our research was to investigate the relationship between MetS and cognitive performance in 174 Italian elderly people living in Val Cenischia (Piedmont, Italy). Mini mental state examination (MMSE) has been administered to assess the cognitive status of all participants. The prevalence of MetS is 50.3% (51.3 and 49.5% for males and females, respectively). Our results confirm the association between MetS and worse cognitive performance in the elderly: an increased number of MetS components is associated with an increased risk of developing cognitive impairment (odds ratio=1.54; confidence interval 95%:1.04-2.28; P<0.05).
