The researchers examined the use of footwear that incorporates force-sensing resistor sensors to classify lower limb disorders affecting the knee, hip, and ankle joints. The outcomes of the study reveal promising findings for future gait analysis and injury diagnosis, and the potential of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) and machine learning techniques for improving the assessment of lower limb injuries, and thereby furthering SDG3.

The authors put forward a mathematical model for examining the impact of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services on reducing the transmission of waterborne diseases such as enteric diarrheal disease (EDD). It is found that wastewater and sewage treatment (WST) control has the most significant impact in terms of WASH interventions employed. The findings have could have very important public health potential and tie in strongly with the goals of SDG 6.

In Alzheimer's disease research, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers Amyloid beta (Aβ), Tau, and pTau are well-validated, and this study demonstrates that a Z-score based harmonization approach can effectively standardize CSF and amyloid imaging data across multiple cohorts, providing consistent biomarker cut-offs and comparable GWAS results to traditional methods, without introducing spurious findings.
