Post-approval safety studies: why they matter
Intravitreal therapies are invaluable for treating diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Often clinical trials do not provide sufficiently large patient populations to assess specific safety concerns, hence the need for post-authorisation safety studies, as shown with long-acting corticosteroids.
Cost-effective drone toolkits for stream habitat monitoring — enabling scalable, high-resolution assessments
Cost-effective monitoring is critical for tracking stream health. Our new UAV-based toolkit enables rapid, high-resolution habitat assessment using only an off-the-shelf drone, making routine ecological monitoring more accessible and scalable.
Buried deep freshwater reserves beneath salinity-stressed coastal Bangladesh
In large parts of the coastal zone of Bangladesh the shallow groundwater is salty, but in places there is deep groundwater that is fresh. We used electromagnetic methods to explore where deep groundwater is fresh versus saline to better understand this potential resource.
