Rationale: Biologics are becoming increasingly important in the management of severe asthma. However, little is known about the systemic immunometabolic consequences of Th2 response blockage.
Objectives: To provide a better immunometabolic understanding of the effects of mepolizumab and omalizumab treatments by identifying potential biomarkers for monitoring.
Olefin-paraffin separation is a critical yet energy-intensive process in the chemical industry, accounting for over 250 trillion BTU/year of global energy consumption. This work explores the use of redox-active nickel maleonitriledithiolate complex for olefin-paraffin separations. Key performance factors, namely the electrochemical oxidation of the complex and the olefin capture utilization fraction, were systematically quantified.

In contrast, there is still no clear consensus on the existence of sex-related differences in the effectiveness of antidepressant treatments for these disorders. This real-world study used filled prescription sequences to compare antidepressant medications between women and men at a medication level according to their acceptability (ie, combination of efficacy and tolerability).

One explanation for the low mortality rates of these healthcare workers emphasizes their specialized medical knowledge and greater access to healthcare while a second emphasizes their generally higher level of education. We evaluated the extent to which general educational level accounts for the lower all-cause mortality rates of US healthcare than non-healthcare workers.
