Circulating Tumor DNA as Measurable Residual Disease in Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma

2 months ago | jamanetwork.com | Mark Roschewski |Dan L. Longo |James Armitage

Circulating Tumor DNA as Measurable Residual Disease in Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma: A Narrative Review Abstract Importance Achieving remission is the first step toward a cure in treating aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Radiographic imaging, such as fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans are the current standard to define remission at the end of therapy but lack specificity for lymphoma and cannot detect disease at the molecular level.
Improved prediction of PFAS partitioning with PPLFERs and QSPRs

Sep 26, 2024 | pubs.rsc.org | Trevor Brown |James Armitage |Alessandro Sangion |Jon A. Arnot

Improved prediction of PFAS partitioning with PPLFERs and QSPRs Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are chemicals of high concern and are undergoing hazard and risk assessment worldwide. Reliable physicochemical property (PCP) data are fundamental to assessments. However, experimental PCP data for PFAS are limited and property prediction tools such as quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) therefore have poor predictive power for PFAS.

Could my glasses be making my eyesight worse?

Apr 8, 2024 | medicalxpress.com | James Armitage |Nick Hockley

So, you got your eyesight tested and found out you need your first pair of glasses. Or you found out you need a stronger pair than the ones you have. You put them on and everything looks crystal clear. But after a few weeks things look blurrier without them than they did before your eye test. What's going on? Some people start to wear spectacles for the first time and perceive their vision is "bad" when they take their glasses off.

The impact of WEEE reforms on local authorities

Mar 20, 2024 | larac.org.uk | James Armitage

The recent government consultation on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has highlighted the role that local authorities may play in future household collections, while raising questions around resources, logistics and frequency. The purpose of the latest consultation is to find a way to divert small, mixed WEEE away from the residual waste stream and into recycling.
Strategies for tackling battery fires

Nov 28, 2023 | larac.org.uk | James Armitage |Reconomy brand Valpak

Earlier this month we saw another alarming fire caused by rechargeable batteries at a local authority facility. Starting in a metal storage skip, the blaze is sadly not a unique incident – in 2021, the ESA reported that 48 per cent of the 201 waste fires in the UK are caused by lithium-ion batteries. Crushed or water-damaged batteries are prone to combustion.

WEEE consultation - make your voice heard!

Aug 11, 2023 | larac.org.uk | James Armitage |Reconomy brand Valpak

With all the attention turned to packaging in recent weeks, it’s easy to forget that the wheels are also turning for WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment). But with the release of the government’s consultation on WEEE expected later this year, this is the time to think about what we hope to achieve through an update to the WEEE regulations. Local authority collections and HWRCs lie at the heart of the system, so it is important that councils make their voice heard.
