Researchers found that elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations enhance grass growth in savannah ecosystems even under dry conditions. The study suggests that higher CO2 levels help these grasses use water more efficiently, allowing them to sustain productivity during periods of reduced rainfall.
The FDA has granted approval to a wearable sensor capable of monitoring both blood glucose and ketone levels simultaneously, marking the first authorization of its kind. The device is designed to give users continuous, real-time readings without separate testing tools for each metric.
The FDA has authorized the Libre Duo 10 Day Continuous Dual Glucose Ketone Monitoring System for diabetes patients aged 2 and up.
