Vascular neurocognitive disorders and the vascular risk factors
Dementias are clinical neurodegenerative diseases characterized by permanent and progressive transformation of cognitive functions such as memory, learning capacity, attention, thinking, language, passing judgments, calculation or orientation. Dementias represent a relatively frequent pathology, encountered at about 10% of the population of 65-year olds and 20% of the population of 80-year olds.
This review presents the main etiological forms of dementia, which include Alzheimer form of dementia, vascular dementia, dementia associated with alpha-synucleionopathies, and mixed forms. Regarding vascular dementia, the risk factors are similar to those for an ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, age, alcohol consumption, cerebral atherosclerosis/ arteriosclerosis.
Several studies show that efficient management of the vascular risk factors can prevent the expression and/ or progression of dementia. Thus, lifestyle changes such as stress reduction, regular physical exercise, decreasing dietary fat, multivitamin supplementation, adequate control of blood pressure and serum cholesterol, and social integration and mental stimulation in the elderly population are important factors in preventing or limiting the symptoms of dementia, a disease with significant individual, social, and economic implications

Effect of maleic anhydride–aniline derivative buffer layer on the properties of flexible substrate heterostructures: Indium tin oxide/nucleic acid base/metal
This paper presents some investigations on the properties of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) based heterostructures deposited on flexible substrates. The effects of two types of maleic anhydride–aniline derivatives (maleic anhydride-cyano aniline or maleic anhydride-2,4 dinitroaniline) buffer layer, deposited between indium tin oxide and (G) or (C) layer, on the optical and electrical properties of the heterostructures have been identified.The heterostructures containing a film of maleic anhydride-2,4 dinitroaniline have shown a good transparency and low photoluminescence in visible range. This buffer layer has determined an increase in the conductance only in the heterostructures based on (G) and (C) deposited on biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate substrate

Line Defects in Molybdenum Disulfide Layers
Layered molecular materials and especially MoS2 are already accepted as
promising candidates for nanoelectronics. In contrast to the bulk material, the
observed electron mobility in single-layer MoS2 is unexpectedly low. Here we
reveal the occurrence of intrinsic defects in MoS2 layers, known as inversion
domains, where the layer changes its direction through a line defect. The line
defects are observed experimentally by atomic resolution TEM. The structures
were modeled and the stability and electronic properties of the defects were
calculated using quantum-mechanical calculations based on the
Density-Functional Tight-Binding method. The results of these calculations
indicate the occurrence of new states within the band gap of the semiconducting
MoS2. The most stable non-stoichiometric defect structures are observed
experimentally, one of which contains metallic Mo-Mo bonds and another one
bridging S atoms
