Summary: The emerging field of wearable devices for monitoring bioanalytes requires the miniaturization of biochemical sensors. Currently, only one commercially available electrochemical wearable monitoring medical device for bioanalytes is available, and it faces challenges such as large electrode size and limited parallel monitoring. To address these issues, we have combined a non-referenced, single polarizable electrode with a fin-shaped field-effect transistor and achieved successful monitoring results.

Summary: This study presents a one-pass continuous flow strategy to directly form block copolymer nanoaggregates from monomers. A significant improvement in continuous flow dialysis, achieved by developing an inline dialysis purification system, enables the fully continuous operation and high throughput operation. The developed system is at least 4-5 times faster than conventional dialysis and reduces the required amount of solvent by almost an order of magnitude compared to conventional methods.

Summary: This study developed a facile and scalable strategy for one-step construction of targeted liposomes using a versatile microfluidic mixing device (MMD). The method was validated by successfully constructing a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeting indocyanine green (ICG)-liposome. The technique showed versatility and efficiency in preparing multifunctional targeted liposomal nanoplatforms for molecular imaging and disease theranostics.

Summary: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a heterogeneous environment connecting billions of devices, making it a prime target for attackers and facing threats such as impersonation and DoS attacks. Continuous authentication is crucial for session security, especially for device-to-device authentication to mitigate DoS threats while preserving privacy. This research proposes a secure protocol leveraging device features for continuous authentication, which proves robust against security threats and maintains reasonable computational costs.

Summary: In patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), hemodialysis treatment accelerates the loss of residual kidney function and increases protein intake, leading to the retention of uremic toxins. Protecting residual kidney function, implementing a low protein diet on non-dialysis days, and gradually transitioning to kidney replacement therapy (KRT) can be effective strategies to reduce the concentration of uremic toxins in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

Summary: Establishing a chronic kidney disease registry can be challenging, but utilizing a registry for end-stage kidney disease patients can provide crucial information on severe health conditions and healthcare costs. The lack of kidney replacement therapy registries in some countries leads to global inequities in access to treatment. Latin American countries have made progress in setting up and training for kidney replacement therapy registries.
