Health and Early Retirement: Evidence from French Data for individuals
Health status during the working life plays a major role in the retirement decision. Significant links between professional paths, retirement age and retirement conditions (disability pension, inability pension, reduced-rate pension, or full rate by age) can be highlighted by logistic models regressions and a typology of the professional careers of the 1940-generation of the French Social Security insured, whose the insurance period is insufficient to fulfill the full-rate pension criterion.health status, incomplete careers, retirement timing, Social Security

Unemployment and Invalidity after 50: Two Alternative Routes for Senior Citizens in Poor Health to Leave the Labour Market? ,
Among the 55-64 year olds, poor health is a reason for leaving the labour market early within the framework of schemes such as Early Retirement for Certain Employees (CATS) or Early Retirement for Asbestos Workers (CAATA), but also by way of an absence from the workforce (sick pay and invalidity pensions respectively). It is interesting to single out the controlling factors for participation in or absence from the labour market after 50 and the link between poor health and occupational status. The prevalence of functional limitations in everyday activities leads to a more pronounced exclusion of the over-50s from the labour market. Some of those aged between 55 and 59 on disability benefits become unemployed and do not look for work, in other words they are potentially exempted from job-seeking. This would confirm the hypothesis that some of those exempted from job-seeking are in poor health.Disability, Employment, Retirement Behaviors

Aux frontiÚres du mercenariat : éléments de contexte et trajectoires de trois «affreux» français de la sécession katangaise (1960-1963)
Ce mĂ©moire Ă©tudie les origines de lâengagement des combattants de nationalitĂ© française en faveur de la sĂ©cession du Katanga (1960-63), au moment de lâindĂ©pendance du Congo belge. RecrutĂ©s pour sâopposer Ă lâArmĂ©e nationale congolaise et aux Casques bleus de lâONU qui cherchent Ă faire rĂ©intĂ©grer la province par la force, ces hommes aguerris par quinze annĂ©es de guerre contre-insurrectionnelle vont sâavĂ©rer ĂȘtre les Ă©lĂ©ments clefs du dispositif militaire katangais. CentrĂ©e sur les « conditions objectives » de lâaction plutĂŽt que sur ses « fondements psychologiques », notre Ă©tude vise Ă mettre en lumiĂšre les « forces profondes » au grĂ© desquelles lâintervention des « affreux » a pris forme. Elle sâintĂ©resse en particulier Ă la trajectoire de trois figures remarquables du point de vue de l'historiographie de l'engagement armĂ© international : Roger Trinquier, Roger Faulques et Bob Denard.
InspirĂ©e de la sociologie du champ intellectuel et militant dont elle contribue Ă montrer la pertinence pour lâĂ©tude du fait militaire transnational, notre recherche soutient que le sens de l'engagement ne peut ĂȘtre saisi qu'en replaçant la trajectoire de ces hommes au sein des diffĂ©rents niveaux de contexte dans lesquels elle sâest rĂ©alisĂ©e. Notre mĂ©moire montre que le recours aux « affreux » coĂŻncide avec le recul des vieilles puissances coloniales sur la scĂšne internationale et avec l'affirmation des nouveaux acteurs que sont les Ătats-Unis, l'URSS et l'ONU. L'engagement de ces hommes, dĂ©pourvus de statut officiel, apparaĂźt pour la France comme un moyen dĂ©tournĂ© de maintenir en Afrique des intĂ©rĂȘts et une influence contraire Ă la dynamique des indĂ©pendances.This thesis studies the case of three French combatants engaged in favor of the secession of Katanga (1960-1963), in the wake of Belgian Congoâs independence. These men were recruited to fight against the Congolese army and UN peacekeepers as those latter sought to reintegrate by force the province into a united Congo. Hardened by a decade of counter-insurgency warfare, the few dozens of French âaffreuxâ proved to be key figures in the Katangese military apparatus.
The thesis is informed by recent work in the sociology of intellectual and activist fields, and confirms the relevance of these methodologies in the study of transnational military service. Focusing on the objective conditions that structure practice rather than on the psychological dimensions of action, this research highlights the âdeep forcesâ according to which the intervention of the âaffreuxâ was shaped. The trajectories of these men are examined across the varying levels of context within which they took place: the history of decolonization and of the Cold War; the rapports between old European nations and emerging world powers regarding Africa; the principles, rules and rationale characterizing the foreign policy of France under the Fifth Republic.
Our thesis reveals that the use of the âaffreuxâ coincides with the decline of old colonial powers and with the affirmation of new players such as the United States, the Soviet Union and the UN on the international stage. The engagement of these men, without any official status, appears to France as a roundabout way to keep in place some of its interests and influence in Africa

Cephalic Tetanus from Penetrating Orbital Wound
Tetanus is a neurologic disorder caused by tetanospasmin, a protein toxin elaborated by Clostridium tetani. Cephalic tetanus is a localized form of the disease causing trismus and dysfunction of cranial nerves. We report the case of a man who presented with facial trauma, complete ophthalmoplegia, exophthalmos, areactive mydriasis, and periorbital hematoma. An orbital CT revealed air bubbles in the right orbital apex. The patient was given a tetanus toxoid booster and antibiotherapy. After extraction of a wooden foreign body, the patient developed right facial nerve palsy, disorders of swallowing, contralateral III cranial nerve palsy, and trismus. Only one case of cephalic tetanus from penetrating orbital wound has been reported in literature 20 years ago. When a patient presents with an orbital wound with ophthalmoplegia and signs of anaerobic infection, cephalic tetanus should be ruled out
