Background: Mepolizumab is a therapy for severe asthma. We have little knowledge of the characteristics of people in the US that discontinue mepolizumab in clinical care.
Objective: To investigate the real-world efficacy and time to clinical discontinuation of mepolizumab, we evaluated individuals with asthma started on mepolizumab at the Cleveland Clinic.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding pest immigration is crucial for managing pests like the pollen beetle in oilseed rape crops, as this study focuses on their dynamics in Denmark and the UK.
- The research found that pollen beetles accumulate on plants more after budding, and that optical sensors are more effective for monitoring their presence than traditional methods.
- The study highlights the potential of optical sensors for early detection of pest issues, allowing for targeted control measures in oilseed rape farming.
Insect monitoring is critical to improve our understanding and ability to preserve and restore biodiversity, sustainably produce crops, and reduce vectors of human and livestock disease. Conventional monitoring methods of trapping and identification are time consuming and thus expensive. Automation would significantly improve the state of the art.
