Age-Related Cognitive and Volumetric Changes in the Brain of African Grasscutter ( (Temminck, 1827)).

The African grasscutter (AGC) () is the second largest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. It is bred for its organoleptic and culinary properties but also serves as a research model. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between age-related changes in brain weight, brain volume, and spatial and nonspatial memory performance in the AGC.

An in-country humanitarian neurosurgical services as model for low-and-middle-income countries: The case of Cote d' Ivoire.

•Initiated in 2019, Humanitarian neurosurgery in Cote d'Ivoire is entirely supported by national non-governmental entities.•Free neurosurgical care is made possible through fundraising campaigns operated via social networking platforms.•Humanitarian neurosurgical activities in Cote d'Ivoire target children with hydrocephalus and neural tube defects.

Classification of the terminal arterial vascularization of the appendix with a view to its use in reconstructive microsurgery.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the arterial vascularization of the appendix, in order to propose a classification of the different vascular types of the appendix for the realization of free transfer in reconstructive microsurgery.

Materials And Methods: We achieved the removal as a monobloc of the cecum, of a part of the ileum, and the upper colon, then conducted the intra-arterial injection of a mixture composed of minium, and went on to the dissection of 25 specimens of appendix from West Africa. We analyzed the appendicular territory vascularized by the different discovered arteries.
