    Abstract The future of rural youth employment is a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa because structural transformation is slow. However, youth employment is rarely considered in terms of institutional economics or in a long-term perspective, both of which are essential for analysing structural change. Little research has focused on employment issues and how they are affected by the type of rural areas, and especially the farming potential. This paper seeks to identify the main institutional determinants of youth transitions. We examine the assets and opportunities, internal or external to the family, available to young people. Combining a theoretical framework based on institutional economics with a comparative and historical methodology can reveal structural change in rural areas. The research draws on original longitudinal data collected in four rural areas in Senegal and Zambia in order to analyse transitions to adulthood among three successive cohorts of youth. While the majority of youth employment policies focus on improving young people's skills, the long-term analysis reveals the institutional changes regarding access to land, capital and knowledge, as well as the redistribution of value and social protection. The analysis points to the importance of taking account of structural characteristics and related institutions when addressing the challenge of employment for future cohorts of youth.

    Abstract Case: Although rare, a medial malleolus fracture plus ipsilateral Achilles tendon rupture has been described in previous case reports. We present a unique case of an open bimalleolar fracture dislocation with ipsilateral Achilles tendon rupture after a motorcycle crash. His Achilles injury was diagnosed intraoperatively during external fixator placement. He presented in a delayed fashion to our institution, where he underwent open reduction internal fixation and Achilles tendon reconstruction.
    Conclusion: Although most commonly described with isolated medial malleolus fractures, Achilles tendon injuries can also be associated with bimalleolar ankle fractures. These associated injuries are frequently missed.

    Abstract Episodic memory decline is an early marker of cognitive aging in human. Although controversial in animals and called "episodic-like memory", several models have been successfully developed, however they rarely focused on ageing. While marmoset is an emerging primate model in aging science, episodic-like memory has never been tested in this species and importantly in aged marmosets. Here, we examined if the recall of the what-when and what-where building blocks of episodic-like memory declines in ageing marmosets. We developed a naturalistic approach using spontaneous exploration of real objects by young and old marmosets in the home cage. We implemented a three-trial task with 1 week inter-trial interval. Two different sets of identical objects were presented in sample trials 1 and 2, respectively. For the test trial, two objects from each set were presented in a former position and two in a new one. We quantified the exploratory behaviour and calculated discrimination indices in a cohort of 20 marmosets. Young animals presented a preserved memory for combined what-where, and what-when components of the experiment, which declined with aging. These findings lead one to expect episodic-like memory deficits in aged marmosets.

    Abstract Objectives: The rising prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders increases pressure on primary care services. In France, patients with musculoskeletal disorders are referred to physiotherapist (PT) by family physician (FP). To improve access to musculoskeletal care, a new model of task sharing and shifting is implemented between FPs and PTs for patients with acute low back pain. This new model enables French PTs to expand their usual scope of practice by receiving patients as first-contact practitioner, diagnosing low back pain, prescribing sick leave and analgesic medication. The aim of this study is to investigate the acceptability of FPs and PTs regarding this new model.
    Design: A cross-sectional survey design was used. Acceptability was measured using a questionnaire on the perception of the model and the perception of PTs' skills to manage low back pain. Descriptive analyses were performed to compare results among participants.
    Setting: French FPs and PTs working in multidisciplinary primary healthcare centres were invited to complete an online survey.
    Participants: A total of 174 respondents completed the survey (81 FPs and 85 PTs).
    Results: A majority of participants had a positive perception of the task sharing and shifting model. A majority of the participants were mostly or totally favourable towards the implementation of the model (FPs: n=46, 82% and PTs: n=40, 82%). The perceived level of competencies of PTs to manage acute low back pain was high. The confidence level of FPs was higher than that of PTs regarding PTs' ability to adequately diagnose low back pain, refer patient to physiotherapy and prescribe sick leave or analgesic medication.
    Conclusion: Based on this limited sample of participants, there appears to be good acceptability of the task sharing and shifting model for acute low back pain. Additional studies are needed to better determine the factors affecting the acceptability of such a model.

    Abstract Evobrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has shown therapeutic potential in relapsing multiple sclerosis. This analysis aimed to develop pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD; BTK occupancy [BTKO]) models of evobrutinib and simulate PK and BTKO profiles under alternative dosing regimens. Data were obtained from two phase I evobrutinib studies in healthy adult participants (Japanese and non-Japanese). Overall, 2326 observations were available from 76 participants; n = 42 from Study MS200527_0017 Part A received evobrutinib 25, 75, or 200 mg once-daily oral doses for 6 days while fasted; n = 18 from Study MS200527_0019 and n = 16 from Study MS200527_0017 Part B received single evobrutinib 75 mg oral doses with food (low-fat meal) and while fasted. Population PK/PD modeling for evobrutinib concentrations and BTKO (fraction unbound) were performed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. The effect of once-daily/twice-daily regimens and doses of 10-200 mg on BTKO were simulated. A two-compartment model with sequential zero-first order absorption and first-order elimination adequately described the data. Bioavailability increased by 49% with food compared with when fasted. There was no difference in PK parameters between Japanese and non-Japanese participants. The BTKO profile of evobrutinib was described by the irreversible binding population model. The simulated percentage of participants with minimum BTKO increased in a dose-dependent manner across the BTKO thresholds of interest (70%, 80%, 90%, and 95% occupancy). Evobrutinib doses of 25 mg once-daily, 50 mg twice-daily, or 75 mg twice-daily while fasted are possible choices for further development, assuming BTKO ≥70% at trough is needed to achieve efficacy.
