Drinking water and sanitation services in high-income countries typically bring widespread health and other benefits to their populations.
This Viewpoint supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 by discussing the effects of the FDA's approval of aducanumab, a treatment for early-stage Alzheimer's disease, despite its limited clinical benefit, as well as the decision of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to restrict coverage to individuals enrolled in clinical trials. The authors note that these decisions have led to a confusing landscape for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
This Article supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 by estimating the incidence and risk factors for vascular cognitive symptoms among first-ever stroke survivors in China, and shows an association of post-stroke cognitive impairment with age, education, and region (western China had higher rates of post-stroke cognitive impairment relative to other regions).

Human immunodeficiency virus and Simian immunodeficiency (SIV) are highly immune evasive viruses with few vulnerabilities. Cytomegalovirus vector-programmed MHC-E-restricted CD8+ T cells can mediate complete replication arrest of primary SIV infection with subsequent viral clearance; this approach may be promising for putative vaccines or immuno-therapeutics against HIV.
Interesting paper that reviews the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and socioeconomic conditions in 120 countries for elderly men and women.
Good paper on how electroencephalography monitoring is being used as a method to diagnose Alzheimer's.
TB is often reported in people with HIV, in whom isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is a treamtent regimen used to prevent TB infection. However, when mothers with HIV recieived IPT during their pregnancy, their babies were associated with an increased risk low birth weight, preterm birth, and becoming under weight. Males seemed to be particularly effected. This brings into question the use of IPT in pregnant women with HIV as the health-care communitry seeks to reach SDGs 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
