Abstract
OBJECTIVE Semantic tool knowledge underlies the ability to perform activities of daily living. Models of apraxia have emphasized the role of functional knowledge about the action performed with tools (e.g., a hammer and a mallet allow a "hammering" action), and contextual knowledge informing individuals about where to find tools in the social space (e.g., a hammer and a mallet can be found in a workshop). The goal of this study was to test whether contextual or functional knowledge, would be central in the organization of tool knowledge. It was assumed that contextual knowledge would be more salient than functional knowledge for healthy controls and that patients with dementia would show impaired contextual knowledge. METHODS We created an original, open-ended categorization task with ambiguity, in which the same familiar tools could be matched on either contextual or functional criteria. RESULTS In our findings, healthy controls prioritized a contextual, over a functional criterion. Patients with dementia had normal visual categorization skills (as demonstrated by an original picture categorization task), yet they made less contextual, but more functional associations than healthy controls. CONCLUSION The findings support a dissociation between functional knowledge ("what for") on the one hand, and contextual knowledge ("where") on the other hand. While functional knowledge may be distributed across semantic and action-related factors, contextual knowledge may actually be the name of higher-order social norms applied to tool knowledge. These findings may encourage researchers to test both functional and contextual knowledge to diagnose semantic deficits and to use open-ended categorization tests.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Apraxia is the inability to perform voluntary, skilled movements following brain lesions, in the absence of sensory integration deficits. Yet, patients with neurodegenerative diseases (ND) may have sensory integration deficits, so we tested the associations and dissociations between apraxia and sensory integration. METHODS A total of 44 patients with ND and 20 healthy controls underwent extensive testing of sensory integration (i.e., localization of tactile, visual, and proprioceptive stimuli; agraphesthesia; astereognosis) and apraxia (i.e., finger dexterity, imitation, tool use). RESULTS The results showed (i) that patients with Alzheimer's disease, corticobasal syndrome, or posterior cortical atrophy were impaired on both dimensions; (ii) An association between both dimensions; (iii) that when sensory integration was controlled for, the frequency of apraxia decreased dramatically in some clinical subgroups. CONCLUSION In a non-negligible portion of patients, the hypothesis of a disruption of sensory integration can be more parsimonious than the hypothesis of apraxia in case of impaired skilled gestures. Clinicians and researchers are advised to integrate sensory integration measures along with their evaluation of apraxia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Executive functions (EFs) play a key role in cognitive and behavioral functioning. Their multiple forms and implications for daily life behaviors mean they are sometimes equated with intelligence. Several elements even suggest that intellectually gifted children (IGC) may present better executive functioning than typical developing children (TDC, children with intelligence in the average range). However, no study has ever completely tested this hypothesis by a comprehensive assessment of EFs in IGC. METHOD Results of 30 IGC and 35 TDC aged from 6 to 16 years old were compared through a comprehensive assessment of EFs (inhibition, flexibility, and planning), comprising performance-based and daily life measures. RESULTS IGC did not differ from TDC in EF performance-based measures. However, they scored higher in parents' and some teachers' ratings, suggesting higher indicators of difficulties in daily life. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to expectations, high intellectual level does not appear to be associated with superior EFs. Surprisingly, parents and teachers of IGC reported more complaints about their executive functioning in everyday life. We put forward different hypotheses to explain this contrast. Further research is needed to better understand this phenomenon, in which neuropsychology has a fundamental role to play.

Abstract
Visuo-imitative apraxia has been consistently reported in patients with dementia, yet there have been substantial methodological differences between studies, while multiple, sometimes competing hypotheses have been put forward to explain this syndrome. Our goals were to study specific imitation deficits in groups of patients who have been selected and assigned to a group solely based on clinical criteria. We tested the effects of body part, bimanual imitation, asymmetry of the model, and body midline crossing, in patients with cortical atrophy of the temporal lobes (semantic dementia, SD), frontal-parietal networks (FPN, i.e., posterior cortical atrophy and corticobasal syndrome) or both (Alzheimer's disease, AD). Sixty-three patients and 32 healthy controls were asked to imitate 45 meaningless finger/hand, uni-/bimanual, asymmetrical/symmetrical, and crossed/uncrossed postures. SD patients had subnormal imitation scores. FPN patients showed frequent and marked deficits in most conditions, better performance with hand than finger postures (probably because of visuo-constructive deficits), and better performance with uncrossed than crossed configurations (probably because of body schema disorganization). Bimanual configurations were difficult for AD patients, not because of bimanual activity in itself, but rather because of the complexity of the model. The finding of dissociations in 34/63 cases (54%) suggests that some patients, even within the same clinical category, can have variable performance in imitation tests as a function of the abovementioned factors. Clinicians are advised to use tests with a large array of items to properly capture patients' imitation skills. This provides a new basis for future research to unpack which neurocognitive mechanisms are disrupted to cause specific patterns of impaired imitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research suggests that adults diagnosed with specific learning disorders, such as dyslexia or developmental coordination disorder (DCD), are at greater risk of emotional problems related to frustration and anger. AIMS The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of frustration intolerance beliefs among two groups of adults with a specific learning disorder (dyslexia or DCD), compared with typical adults. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Participants were 235 French adults (students or in employment) with dyslexia (Mage = 35.8 years, SD = 13.3; females = 63 %), DCD (Mage = 32.9 years, SD = 11.8; females = 58 %) or typical development (Mage = 33.2 years, SD = 12.7; females = 65 %), who completed an online self-report questionnaire. OUTCOMES AND RESULTS Analysis of variance revealed a significant between-groups difference, as both learning disorder groups had higher frustration intolerance beliefs than the typical adults. Post hoc analysis showed that participants with DCD scored higher than those with dyslexia on each type of frustration intolerance belief, while participants with dyslexia scored higher than typical adults on achievement frustration and discomfort intolerance. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results underline the usefulness of distinguishing between frustration intolerance dimensions, and of using rational emotive behavior therapy to reduce the irrational beliefs of people with DCD or dyslexia.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) or semantic dementia (SD) on their cognitive processes and the severity of their daily life activity impairments. Three types of tasks were administered to patients (SD = 15; AD = 31) and 30 healthy controls (HC): 1) informant-based scales and questionnaires, 2) a neuropsychological assessment exploring executive functions, episodic and semantic memory, and 3) a new original test featuring multi-step naturalistic actions and multitasking: the Sequential Daily Life Multitasking (SDLM). We predicted that patients with AD would mainly exhibit task perplexity, associated with episodic and executive deficits on the SDLM, while the behavior of patients with SD would mostly be characterized by object perplexity, associated with semantic memory deficits. Results showed that patients with AD or SD were impaired across all neuropsychological tests, particularly episodic memory in AD and semantic memory in SD. General performance on the SDLM also appeared dramatically impaired in both patient groups, and correlated with results of questionnaires about instrumental activities and memory impairments. However, specific qualitative measurements on the SDLM did not allow us to pinpoint different patterns of errors and behavior in patients with AD versus SD. We suggest that the inability of patients in both groups to perform the SDLM may derive from a constellation of disorders or else from more subtle impairment of cognitive and conative processes that requires further exploration.

Abstract
While imitation of meaningless gestures is a gold standard in the assessment of apraxia in patients with either stroke or neurodegenerative diseases, little is known about potential age-related effects on this measure. A significant body of literature has indicated that different mechanisms (i.e., executive functioning, visuospatial skills, sensory integration, body knowledge, categorical apprehension) may underlie the performance depending on imitation conditions (i.e., finger/hand, uni-/bimanual, symmetric/asymmetric, crossed/uncrossed configurations). However, neither the effects of these conditions on performance, nor the contribution of the abovementioned mechanisms to imitation have been explored in normal aging. The aim of the present study was to fill this gap. To do so, healthy adults (n = 103) aged 50 to 89 were asked to imitate 45 meaningless gestures. The authors controlled for general cognitive function, motor function, visual-spatial skills, executive function, sensory integration, body knowledge, and mechanical problem-solving skills. The results showed that asymmetry, body-midline crossing and, to a lesser extent, bimanual activity added an additional layer of difficulty to imitation tasks. After controlling for motor speed and cognitive function, age had an effect on imitation skills after 70 years old. This may reflect a decline in body knowledge, sensory integration, and executive functions. In contrast, the visuospatial and mechanical problem-solving hypotheses were ruled out. An additional motor simulation hypothesis is proposed. These findings may prove useful for clinicians working in memory clinics by providing insights on how to interpret imitation deficits. Lower performance after 70 years old should not be considered abnormal in a systematic manner.

Abstract
Recent works showed that tool use can be impaired in stroke patients because of either planning or technical reasoning deficits, but these two hypotheses have not yet been compared in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to address the relationships between real tool use, mechanical problem-solving, and planning skills in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD, n = 32), semantic dementia (SD, n = 16), and corticobasal syndrome (CBS, n = 9). Patients were asked to select and use ten common tools, to solve three mechanical problems, and to complete the Tower of London test. Motor function and episodic memory were controlled using the Purdue Pegboard Test and the BEC96 questionnaire, respectively. A data-transformation method was applied to avoid ceiling effects, and single-case analysis was performed based on raw scores and completion time. All groups demonstrated either impaired or slowed tool use. Planning deficits were found only in the AD group. Mechanical problem-solving deficits were observed only in the AD and CBS groups. Performance in the Tower of London test was the best predictor of tool use skills in the AD group, suggesting these patients had general rather than mechanical problem-solving deficits. Episodic memory seemed to play little role in performance. Motor dysfunction tended to be associated with tool use skills in CBS patients, while tool use disorders are interpreted as a consequence of the semantic loss in SD in line with previous works. These findings may encourage caregivers to set up disease-centred interventions.

Abstract
It is well-known that even toddlers are able to manipulate tools in an appropriate manner according to their physical properties. The ability of children to make novel tools in order to solve problems is, however, surprisingly limited. In adults, mechanical problem solving (MPS) has been proposed to be supported by "technical reasoning skills," which are thought to be involved in every situation requiring the use of a tool (whether conventional or unusual). The aim of this study was to investigate the typical development of real tool use (RTU) skills and its link with technical reasoning abilities in healthy children. Three experimental tasks were adapted from those used with adults: MPS (three different apparatus), RTU (10 familiar tool-object pairs), and functional knowledge (FK; 10 functional picture matching with familiar tools previously used). The tasks were administered to 85 healthy children divided into six age groups (from 6 to 14 years of age). The results revealed that RTU (p = 0.01) and MPS skills improve with age, even if this improvement differs according to the apparatus for the latter (p < 0.01 for the Hook task and p < 0.05 for the Sloping task). Results also showed that MPS is a better predictor of RTU than FK, with a significant and greater weight (importance weight: 0.65; Estimate ± Standard Error: 0.27 ± 0.08). Ours findings suggest that RTU and technical reasoning develop jointly in children, independently from development of FK. In addition, technical reasoning appears partially operative from the age of six onward, even though the outcome of these skills depends of the context in which they are applied (i.e., the type of apparatus).

Abstract
While several cognitive domains have been widely investigated in the field of aging, the age-related effects on tool use are still an open issue and hardly any studies on tool use and aging is available. A significant body of literature has indicated that tool use skills might be supported by at least two different types of knowledge, namely, mechanical knowledge and semantic knowledge. However, neither the contribution of these kinds of knowledge to familiar tool use, nor the effects of aging on mechanical and semantic knowledge have been explored in normal aging. The aim of the present study was to fill this gap. To do so, 98 healthy elderly adults were presented with three tasks: a classical, familiar tool use task, a novel tool use task assessing mechanical knowledge, and a picture matching task assessing semantic knowledge. The results showed that aging has a negative impact on tool use tasks and on knowledge supporting tool use skills. We also found that aging did not impact mechanical and semantic knowledge in the same way, confirming the distinct nature of those forms of knowledge. Finally, our results stressed that mechanical and semantic knowledge are both involved in the ability to use familiar tools.

Abstract
In everyday life, we are led to reuse the same tools (e.g., fork, hammer, coffee-maker), raising the question as to whether we have to systematically recreate the idea of the manipulation which is associated with these tools. The gesture engram hypothesis offers a straightforward answer to this issue, by suggesting that activation of gesture engrams provides a processing advantage, avoiding portions of the process from being reconstructed de novo with each experience. At first glance, the gesture engram hypothesis appears very plausible. But, behind this beguiling simplicity lies a set of unresolved difficulties: (1) What is the evidence in favour of the idea that the mere observation of a tool is sufficient to activate the corresponding gesture engram? (2) If tool use can be supported by a direct route between a structural description system and gesture engrams, what is the role of knowledge about tool function? (3) And, more importantly, what does it mean to store knowledge about how to manipulate tools? We begin by outlining some of the main formulations of the gesture engram hypothesis. Then, we address each of these issues in more detail. To anticipate our discussion, the gesture engram hypothesis appears to be clearly unsatisfactory, notably because of its incapacity to offer convincing answers to these different issues. We conclude by arguing that neuropsychology may greatly benefit from adopting the hypothesis that the idea of how to manipulate a tool is recreated de novo with each experience, thus opening interesting perspectives for future research on apraxia.

Abstract
The present study discusses the presence of different constraints on action selection during object use versus object transport. Sixteen left brain-damaged (LBD) patients, 10 right brain-damaged (RBD) and 35 healthy controls were examined on a grip preference test consisting of a grasping-to-transport and a grasping-to-use condition. Assessment included a general praxis testing (pantomime production, object utilization gesture recognition and object use). We also reported the case of a close-head injury patient (DR) with an atypical behavioural pattern. Our results supported the different constraint hypothesis. While several LBD and RBD patients performed inappropriate grips in the grasping-to-transport condition, only two patients (L2 and DR) used inappropriate grips in the grasping-to-use condition. No correlation was found between the two conditions of the grip preference test and measures of the general praxis testing. The discussion focuses on the nature of constraints on grip selection during object use and object transport.

Abstract
It has been suggested that both conceptual knowledge and the ability to infer function from structure can support object use. By contrast, we propose that object use requires solely the ability to reason about technical ends. Technical ends (e.g., cutting) are not purposes (e.g., eating), but the technical way to achieve them. This perspective suggests that there is no mutual relationship between technical ends and purposes since the same purpose (e.g., writing) can be achieved thanks to distinct technical ends (graving, tracing), and, inversely, the same technical end (e.g., tracing) can achieve different purposes (making up, writing). Thus, conceptual knowledge might determine which technical end is usually associated with a given purpose. To contribute to the discussion, we described the behaviour of a female patient with left temporal lobe lesions and bilateral frontal lobe lesions following a closed-head injury. Conceptual knowledge was impaired. She encountered difficulties in demonstrating the use of objects in isolation (e.g., using a screwdriver without the screw). The presence of a recipient (e.g., using a screwdriver with the screw) improved her performance. The performance was also normal when asked to perform unusual applications of objects to achieve a goal for which the usually applied object was not provided (e.g., screwing a screw with a knife). Consistent with the theoretical framework supported here, her performance profile suggests an intact ability to reason about technical ends (i.e., utilization), in the presence of a defective ability to determine the usual relationship between technical ends and purposes (i.e., usage).

Abstract
A direct plasma injection liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of a new triazole antifungal agent, voriconazole, using an internal surface reversed phase column. Therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole is relevant for patient management, especially in the case of drug-drug interaction. The method is easy to perform and requires 10 microL of a plasma sample. The chromatographic run time is less than 9 min using a mobile phase of 17:83 v/v acetonitrile-potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer, 100 mM, pH 6.0 and UV detection at 255 nm. The fl ow rate was 1 microL/min. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 0.5-10 microg/mL (r2 = 0.977). A good accuracy (bias < or = 7.5%) was achieved for all quality controls, with intra-day and inter-day variation coefficients inferior to 6.7%. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.2 microg/mL, without interference of endogenous components. The stability of voriconazole in plasma stored at different temperatures was checked. Finally, the possibility of direct injection of plasma samples into the column permits a reduction in reagent consumption and in analytical steps, and hence in analytical error.

Abstract
A rapid and stereospecific HPLC micromethod to quantify flurbiprofen enantiomers was developed. Both flurbiprofen enantiomers and indomethacin, used as internal standard, were extracted with methylene chloride from 100 microL of acidified plasma. The resolution of the R- and S-forms was performed on a bonded vancomycin chiral stationary phase (Chirobiotic V) with 20% of tetrahydrofuran in ammonium nitrate (100 mM, pH 5) as mobile phase. Calibration curves were linear in the range 0.5-10 microg/mL for both enantiomers. A good accuracy (< or = 5%) was obtained for all quality controls, with intra-day and inter-day variation coefficients equal or less than 7.7%. Recovery of both enantiomers was found in the range 77.4-86.3%. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.25 microg/mL for both enantiomers, without interference of endogenous components. This validated micromethod has been successfully applied for quantifying R- flurbiprofen and S- flurbiprofen in rat plasma.

Abstract
A specific reversed phase-high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of clozapine (CZP), loxapine (LXP), zuclopenthixol (ZPT) and flupenthixol (FPT) in plasma. These four antipsychotic drugs are frequently used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric diseases. Carpipramine, a dihydrodibenzazepine, was used as an internal standard (I.S.). A liquid-liquid procedure was used to extract the drugs from human plasma. The analysis was performed on a XTerra MS C18 column with UV detection. Calibration curves were linear in the range 50-1000 microg/l. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 15 microg/l for clozapine and loxapine and 20 microg/l for zuclopenthixol and flupenthixol. The coefficient of variation (CV) for intra- and inter-day precision was 7.2% or less with accuracies within 10% for the three concentrations.This isocratic and rapid method (run time<10 min) is useful for the management of acute intoxication.

Abstract
New N-phenyl(alkyl)-5-(dialkylamino)methyl-2-amino-2-oxazolines, 5a-e, have been synthesized from the corresponding 3-phenyl(alkyl)carbamoyl-2-iminooxazolidines 2. A two-stage hydrolysis reaction led finally to the corresponding ring-opened N-phenyl(alkyl)-N'-[1-(3-(dialkylamino)-propan-2-ol)]ureas 4. The oxazoline ring was regenerated through an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution involving an halogen atom introduced by the reaction of thionyl chloride on 4. Pharmacological properties of 5a-e were evaluated on histaminic and adrenergic receptors in guinea-pig trachea and rat aorta. Compounds 5b and 5e showed a selective anti-histaminic effect on guinea-pig airways, but a significant response was obtained for a concentration >10(-6) M. No pharmacological activity was obtained with oxazoline 5c whereas oxazolines 5a and 5d seemed to present a non-selective effect on the contractile mechanism of the smooth muscle cell.

Abstract
The dissociation constants of new 2-amino-2-oxazolines were determined by capillary electrophoresis (CE) as a new technique. A method based on a linear model has been used in the CE determination. A series of eight 2-amino-2-oxazolines are investigated to determine their ionization constant. Among them, three new oxazolines synthesized are presented. The Ka values were obtained from the plots of reciprocal effective mobility against inverse concentrations of protons. The potentiometric method (PM) was performed as a comparative method. No significant differences were observed between the determined dissociation constants using both methods. Thus, the pKa values have been found to vary between 8.55 and 8.68.

Abstract
A rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of buflomedil in human plasma is described. It requires a single liquid-liquid extraction step from 1 mL of plasma with diethyl ether followed by chromatography on a Nova Pak C(18) reversed-phase column and detection by ultaviolet light. Metoclopramide was used as internal standard. The method is sensitive with a quantification limit at 500 ng/mL. It was used for the determination of buflomedil in biological fluids in poisoning cases.

Abstract
Mirtazapine is a new centrally acting noradrenergic and specific serotonin antidepressant, with an active demethyl metabolite. For toxicological purposes, a specific and accurate RP-HPLC assay was developed for the simultaneous plasma determination of these compounds. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 50-500 ng/ml. A good accuracy (bias <10%) was achieved for all quality controls, with intra-day and inter-day variation coefficients less than 8.3%. The lower limit of quantification was 20 ng/ml, without interferences with endogenous or exogenous components. This rapid method (run time <12 min) was used to manage three intoxications involving mirtazapine.

Abstract
Porphyrias are the result of inherited enzymatic defects of the heme's biosynthesis chain. A porphyria crisis with abdominal pain and neurological or psychiatric signs may be precipitated by drugs. Our purpose is to list the main drugs which may precipitate phorphyria crisis, specifying which are contraindicated such as cefalosporins, anaesthetics, anti epileptic and anti tubercular drugs, and which are doubtful because of conflicting results published in literature. In any case it is necessary to verify any prescription before giving a drug to a patient with porphyria.

Abstract
The best known morbid effect of glucosephosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) deficiency is hemolysis induced by oxidative drugs. When prescribing drugs for G-6PD deficient subjects, two points should be kept in mind: different genetic variants of G-6PD deficiency entail different susceptibility to the hemolytic risk from drugs; thus a drug found to be safe in some G-6PD deficient subjects may not be equally safe in others; the risk and severity of hemolysis is almost always dose-related. The purpose of this paper is to underline the main drugs that cannot be safely administrated to G-6PD deficient subjects. They can be separated in drugs that must be avoided by G-6PD deficient subjects (such as sulphonamides, quinolones, nitrofurantoin), and drugs that do not systematically precipitate hemolysis but must nevertheless be prescribed with caution.

Abstract
The 2-aryl-3-indoleacetamides FGIN-1-27 and FGIN-1-43 have already been characterized in-vitro as potent and specific ligands for the mitochondrial DBI receptor. This affinity was associated with psychotropic properties in several rodent behavioural tasks (in particular anxiolytic action) via enhancement of GABA transmission through neurosteroid production. The synthesis of new 3-aryl-3-pyrrol-1-ylpropanamides 1a-i, analogues of FGIN-1-27 and FGIN-1-43, is described in four steps starting from the corresponding arylaldehydes. Preliminary evaluation of these compounds in behavioural studies (spontaneous locomotor activity and anxiolytic activity) in mice was also undertaken.

Abstract
Venlafaxine, a second-generation antidepressant, acts by inhibition of the reuptake of presynaptic noradrenaline and serotonin. The main metabolite, O-desmethylvenlafaxine was found biologically active. For toxicological purpose, a rapid specific and accurate RP-HPLC assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of venlafaxine and O-desmethylvenlafaxine in human plasma. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 0.2-4 microg/ml. A good accuracy (<8%) was achieved for all quality controls, with intra-day and inter-day variation coefficient less than 10%. Finally, no interference was observed with other psychotic drugs encountered in acute poisoning. This rapid method (run time <10 min) was used to manage four voluntary intoxications involving venlafaxine.

Abstract
New 5-dialkylaminomethyl-2-amino-2-oxazolines have been synthezised in two steps from the corresponding dialkylamines. They were evaluated in-vitro as H1-antagonists. Compounds 1c, 1d and 1j significantly antagonized histamine-induced contraction of guinea-pig trachea with a rightward shift of the concentration-response curve to histamine. Compound 1f, 5-[(4-benzyl-1-piperidinyl)methyl]-2-amino-2-oxazoline, induced an increase in acetylcholine Emax (the maximal response to acetylcholine 10(-3) M) and a shift to the left of the concentration-response curve. The lack of effect of this compound on histamine-induced contraction rules out a non-selective potentiation of the contraction mechanisms. Preliminary structure-activity results were reported partly based on physicochemical results.
