Introduction: Hyperglycemia is common in acute ischemic stroke, and associated with unfavorable outcome. However, the optimal glucose level is not known and cellular effects of hyperglycemia under hypoxia are largely unclear. We assessed how the extracellular glucose concentration affects cultured neuronal networks under experimental in vitro conditions, to provide a starting point for assessment of mechanisms at the neuronal network and cellular levels.

- Hemodialysis patients often use arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for dialysis access, but high blood flow through AVFs can lead to complications over time.
- A new implantable device with a magnetic ring was developed to non-invasively control an AVF valve by transmitting torque, and tests were successfully conducted on arm and sheep cadavers.
- The prototype demonstrated effective valve closure capabilities through varying skin thicknesses, indicating its potential for non-invasive control and prompting the need for in vivo studies to evaluate its practical functionality.
