Global trends in marine turtle nesting numbers vary by region, influenced by environmental or anthropogenic factors. Our study investigates the potential role of past temperature fluctuations on these trends, particularly whether warmer beaches are linked to increased nesting due to higher female production (since sea turtles have temperature-dependent sex determination). We selected the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) due to its wide distribution, strong philopatry and vulnerability to environmental changes.

This review will discuss heart failure, introduce a new drug finerenone, and discuss clinical studies with a focus on its effects on heart failure. Heart failure is a condition or syndrome characterized by an impairment of the pumping ability of the heart, thus no longer keeping up with the demands of the body. There are several types of heart failure; among them are heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, with mildly reduced ejection fraction and with preserved ejection fraction.

Background: This study explored how gender inequalities in health systems influence women's experiences of obstetric violence in Ghana. Obstetric violence is recognised as a major public health concern and human rights violation. In particular, it reduces women's trust and use of health facilities for childbirth, thereby increasing the risks of maternal and neonatal mortality.

Fisher's general principle for sex allocation holds that population sex ratios are typically balanced because parents producing the rare sex are benefited and the rare sex alternates over time. In species that have temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), thermal reaction norms need to be adjusted at the population level to avoid extremely biased sex ratios and extinction. Extant species with TSD experienced drastic climatic changes in the geological past and must necessarily have mechanisms of adaptation.
