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.

This article discusses the manifestation of apathy-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) mouse models through the assessment of nest-building behavior, highlighting differences in nesting proficiency and anhedonia between tau transgenic mice lines, suggesting apathy-like phenotypes in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

This Article supports SDG 3 by showing that mobile health clinics can be a feasible and effective way of providing hepatitis C services to underserved, at-risk populations who face barriers to care. Policymakers should consider implementing such programmes in order to increase diagnosis and treatment rates and improve outcomes among these populations.
