Adult age differences in memory for explicit and implicit sentence information.

Adult age differences in the processing of implicit sentence information were examined by testing recognition memory for stated and implied information. The effects of organization on such processing also were examined by presenting test sentences in a structured (story) or unstructured (unrelated sentences) format. No age differences were observed in memory for implied instruments-suggesting that aging has little effect on the processing and storage of such implicational information. In addition, structure had little effect on memory for implied information but interacted with age in determining memory for explicity stated instruments: Young adults remembered more explicit information in the structured condition.

[Posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder. A study of 11 cases (author's transl)]. / Les luxations-fractures postérieures de l'épaule. Etude anatomo-pathologique et thérapeutique à propos de 11 observations.

The authors have observed 11 cases of posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder. All were recognised easily except one. The lesions are described and the mechanism of the lesion is considered. Treatment was conservative in most cases, and gave satisfactory results.

[Bilateral recurrent anterior dislocation of the hip (author's transl)]. / Luxation antérieure non traumatique récidivante et bilatérale de la hanche. Une observation.

The authors report a case of bilateral recurrent anterior dislocation of the hip in a child suffering from Seckel's disease (bird-headed dwarf). There were no neurological abnormalities. The dislocations appeared to relate to coxa valga and dysplastic acetabula. Femoral osteotomies together with a shelf procedure were performed. The dislocations had ceased when the child was reviewed in a two-year follow-up.
