    International audienceMultiple functionality of tungsten polyoxometalate (POM) has been achieved applying it as interfacial layer for solution processed high performance In 2 O 3 thin film transistors, which results in overall improvement of device performance. This approach not only reduces off-current of the device by more than two orders of magnitude, but also leads to a threshold voltage reduction, as well as significantly enhances the mobility through facilitated charge injection from the electrode to the active layer. Such a mechanism has been elucidated through morphological and spectroscopic studies

    Intracranial Aneurysm Classifier Using Phenotypic Factors: An International Pooled Analysis

    Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are usually asymptomatic with a low risk of rupture, but consequences of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are severe. Identifying IAs at risk of rupture has important clinical and socio-economic consequences. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of patient and IA characteristics on the likelihood of IA being diagnosed incidentally versus ruptured. Patients were recruited at 21 international centers. Seven phenotypic patient characteristics and three IA characteristics were recorded. The analyzed cohort included 7992 patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that: (1) IA location is the strongest factor associated with IA rupture status at diagnosis; (2) Risk factor awareness (hypertension, smoking) increases the likelihood of being diagnosed with unruptured IA; (3) Patients with ruptured IAs in high-risk locations tend to be older, and their IAs are smaller; (4) Smokers with ruptured IAs tend to be younger, and their IAs are larger; (5) Female patients with ruptured IAs tend to be older, and their IAs are smaller; (6) IA size and age at rupture correlate. The assessment of associations regarding patient and IA characteristics with IA rupture allows us to refine IA disease models and provide data to develop risk instruments for clinicians to support personalized decision-making
