    Abstract Introduction: The ideal lumbar spine fixation system should provide sufficient stability while preserving natural posturing and spinal alignment with limited risk of adjacent level degeneration. While rigid fixation systems may contribute to stress shielding in anterior column increasing consecutively adjacent segment degeneration, Polyetherethrketone (PEEK) Rods provide a modulus of elasticity close to cancellous bone that may decrease these risks. Biomechanical studies comparing rigid fixation using titanium Rods with PEEK Rods posterior systems have shown a comparable intervertebral stability with the two systems nevertheless PEEK was associated with a lower risk of screw mobilization in poor bone, an increased anterior physiological load and a reduced stress on bone-screw interface that may predict lower risk of adjacent level degeneration. We performed a retrospective study in a french cohort of patients who underwent posterior lumbar fixation using PEEK Rods to investigate clinical indications and clinical outcomes in real life settings. Material and Methods: Between June 2011 and July 2014, 48 patients who underwent posterior lumbar fixation using PEEK Rods were included in our study for retrospective review. Surgery was performed using 5,5mm pre-bent PEEK Rods with Titanium monoaxial screws for 1 to 4 level posterior lumbar fixation with a maximum length of 160 mm. Clinical outcomes were assessed using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), reoperation rate, complications, radiographs and MRI. The patients satisfaction was also evaluated using the Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI). Results: The population included 28 males and 20 females with an average age of 61 years. The main indication for surgery was spinal decompression with stabilization (44,6%). A majority of patients (29/60,4%) presented surgical antecedents including recurrent disc herniation, posterior decompression, posterior fusion with instrumentation and stabilization with interspinous devices. Patients underwent surgery on one (18/37,5%) or multiple levels (30/62,5%). Patients had surgery with anterior cages for fusion (PLIF), posterior dynamic fixation or hybrid systems combining fusion and non-fusion. The most frequent surgeries were performed on L4L5S1 as hybrid systems. At 2 years follow-up, the mean ODI score was improved by 29% (from 67% to 38%) and the mean PSI was 1,8 on a scale ranging from 1 to 4 (1: completely satisfied. 4: same or worse condition than before surgery). There was no reoperation for 89,7% patients, no migration for 94,7%, no screw breakage for 84,2% (never for one single level fixation) and no rod breakage. We reported 15% patients with post-operative adjacent level degeneration. For 21% patients with pre-operative signs, the degeneration was no more observed on the last MRI evaluation after 2 years. Conclusion: PEEK Rods provide a safe and effective system that can be either used as a fusion system promoting anterior fusion with decreased risk of implant failure, as dynamic system protecting adjacent levels, or as hybrid system combining both advantages, with a stability comparable to Titanium rods. Further studies on larger populations and longer term follow-up are needed to confirm these data.

    Abstract A study of the pollen content and organic matter of a 6 m long core recovered from the gallery forest alongside the tributary of Lake Petpenoun, not far from its mouth (NW Cameroon, 5°38′29.3 N, 10°38′43.1E, 1120 m asl) documents the evolution of the « Grassfields region » over the last millennium. The exceptional rate of accumulation of the sedimentary series, where the last millennium is 5 m thick, allows to differentiate two distinct periods. Between 900 and 1420 CE, the coring site was located under lake water, reflecting the expansion of the lake under humid environmental conditions during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA). The coring site then gradually dried up from 1420 CE onward, during the Little Ice Age (LIA). Then, in 1850 CE, modern conditions were established. During the LIA, the lake edge moved about 140 m downstream of the coring site due to drying conditions. The date of 1420 CE corresponds to a major event that affected not only local hydrological conditions but also regional vegetation. The collapse of pollen production shows the general degradation of the landscape due to increased drought conditions.

    Abstract The end of the Holocene Humid Period was characterized by the massive collapse of forest ecosystems in central Africa. Was this large-scale environmental crisis dated between 3300 and 2500 years BP at the origin of the present-day wooded-grassland/forest mosaic of central Cameroon? Here we present carbon isotope data on soil organic matter collected from 29 sites from this area, including the Grassfield plateaus, with the aim of characterizing this environmental crisis and discussing the origin of the present-day landscape. ¹⁴C data on total soil organic matter and charcoal fragments show that the organic matter in these soils originates from the Holocene. In our forest sites, the δ¹³C profiles do not show any marked alteration of the forest cover throughout the Holocene. Discrete traces of forest expansion or retreat are observed only punctually at the forest margins. In the wooded-grassland/forest mosaic zone, the environmental crisis was of reduced amplitude. In the present grassland and wooded grassland areas, there was no true forest during the lower to middle Holocene, but a markedly more tree-covered landscape. The timing of this crisis revealed by our ¹⁴C measurements, although only indicative at this stage, suggests that it occurred earlier at higher altitudes than in the lowlands due to marked topographic relief favoring drainage along the slopes. These results fit a climatic rather than anthropogenic origin of the vegetation opening in this region.

    Abstract Rates of false memory reports vary markedly in the published literature. In an effort to explain these differences, the present study investigated the effects of including different types of details in a false narrative upon subsequent false memory formation. Participants were assigned to one of four conditions in which the inclusion of self-relevant and/or specific details in a false event (putting a toy in a teacher's desk) was manipulated. Participants engaged in a standard memory recovery procedure over three interviews, involving recall for three true and one false event Upon completion, 68.2% of participants in self-relevant groups were judged as having created memories or images about the false event, as compared with 36.4% in non-self-relevant groups. Subjective ratings of memory intensity were higher for self-relevant groups, and self-relevant participants were less likely to correctly guess the false event. These findings indicate that including self-relevant details in suggested childhood events increases the likelihood that such events will be accepted as false memories.
