Article Synopsis
- Anti-drug antibodies linked to treatment failure in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients on anti-TNF agents were analyzed in a large UK study involving 1058 participants.
- The study found that patients who developed antibodies to their first anti-TNF drug were more likely to also develop antibodies to their second anti-TNF drug, indicating a potential pattern of immunogenicity across different treatments.
- Introducing an immunomodulator when switching anti-TNF therapies boosted treatment persistence in patients with immunogenicity, suggesting that combined therapies may enhance outcomes in IBD management.
With the increasing installation of weather-dependent renewable sources such as solar and wind power, the ability to produce electricity on demand to balance any shortfall in supply is becoming more important. Anaerobic digestion is a low-carbon energy source with the potential to be flexible to meet this need. An investigation was conducted into the response of two laboratory-scale anaerobic digesters at loading rate of 2.

The plant was built in 2013 and continues to operate to date, processing urban food waste and generating biogas for use in a community café. The plant was monitored for a period of 319days during 2014, during which the operational parameters, biological stability and energy requirements of the plant were assessed.
