Unlabelled: Biochar has high potential for long-term atmospheric carbon storage in terrestrial environments, contributing to meeting the UK and global greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. This study investigates the greenhouse gas emissions and techno-economics associated with biochar produced from food waste anaerobic digestate using hydrothermal carbonisation followed by high-temperature post carbonisation. Owing to high moisture contents, digestates are challenging to valorise.

The treatment landscape for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has expanded dramatically over the last decade, with a wide range of effective treatments now available. Clinical management of CLL varies widely depending on patient profile, meaning the optimal treatment in Arab patients, who tend to be young and often present with comorbidities, including diabetes and obesity, requires specific considerations. In the absence of regional guidelines, a group of experts from across the Gulf region and one international expert from Germany convened to discuss and agree upon a position statement for venetoclax-based fixed-duration treatment strategies for Arab patients with CLL.
