- - Biological sex plays a major role in how diseases like chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury develop and respond to treatments, with hormones such as estrogen and testosterone affecting kidney functions differently for males and females.
- - Understanding and including sex as a biological factor in research is essential for improving data analysis and treatment strategies, leading to more personalized and effective healthcare for both sexes.
- - This paper aims to provide researchers with guidelines on effectively incorporating sex as a biological variable in their studies, which can enhance understanding of kidney diseases and contribute to better clinical outcomes through precision medicine.
Galvanising pot roll bearings are subjected to severe deterioration due to the corrosion of the bearing materials in liquid Zn, resulting in maintenance stops that can cost thousands of pounds per hour in downtime. Dynamic wear testing in molten Zn-Al and Zn-Al-Mg was conducted to assess the corrosion and wear resistance of three material pairs using a bespoke testing rig. The materials investigated in this study were Wallex6 coated with WC-Co, stainless steel 316L coated with AlO, and as-received Wallex6 and Wallex4 alloys.

We aimed to assess the proportion of institutions that provided public health degrees with climate and health education, the annual number of students trained in climate and health, and the extent to which students had climate and health knowledge during 2023-24.
Methods: From Nov 1, 2023, to March 15, 2024, our online survey quantified climate and health education in public health schools that provide degrees across all WHO regions.
