This article underscores the need to screen early for balance issues and fall risk in patients with Alzheimer's, as these patients are more prone to falls. The end goal is to promote earlier screening so as to better improve their quality of life.

SDG 3.3 is to end the AIDs epidemic, this study shows that of 793,902 people with HIV in Kenya included in the study >25% had low level viraemia, which is associate with a higher risk of virological failure. By defining virological supression as <50 copies/mL earleir interventions could be implmented, such as the use of dolutegravir, which could lead to epidemic control

OKA is a potent neurotoxin and has a profound effect on cognitive dysfunction in Zebrafish. 4D and 10D OKA treated zebrafish show significant changes in gene expressions related to neuroinflammation. OKA exposed zebrafish display a substantial number of proteins that are involved in contributing to AD pathology. OKA-induced AD in zebrafish model can be used as a screening tool to explore further underlying possible mechanisms.
Climate change is one of several drivers of recurrent outbreaks and geographical range expansion of infectious diseases in Europe. We propose a framework for the co-production of policy-relevant indicators and decision-support tools that track past, present, and future climate-induced disease risks across hazard, exposure, and vulnerability domains at the animal, human, and environmental interface.

This research studied different heating systems in China and Europe. The sensitivity analysis found that electrifying heating systems with heat pumps can reduce household heating costs and mitigate European cities’ dependence on natural gas, providing policy recommendations on future building cost-effective retrofits and heating electrification in Europe.

To plan for an uncertain future, life scientists are often required to use the output from climate models to develop recommendations for policy. The authors explain best practice for use of these models, this research supports SDG 2, 13, 14 and 15.

PLMP leverages the interdependencies in the semantic network to project markers from the social discourse level (tweets) to the word level, allowing for a richer interpretation of the online sentiment. The authors apply PLMP to analyze online discourse around three major events: #MeToo, #FridaysForFuture, and #Covid19
