Multiple myeloma is a bone marrow-based plasma cell tumour that develops from asymptomatic pre-cursor conditions smouldering myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance and all are characterised by the presence of a monoclonal protein in the blood. Diagnosis and distinction between these conditions is based on blood tests, the bone marrow biopsy and cross sectional imaging. There are various risk stratification models that group patients with smouldering myeloma into risk groups based on risk of progression to symptomatic disease. Management is mainly observational for patients with smouldering myeloma although clinical trials for high-risk disease may be available. Restaging is required if evidence for progression., (© 2024 British Society for Haematology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) is a problematic weed in turfgrass systems due to its adaptability and high seed production. Turf managers use non-chemical control practices, but these are often ineffective. Herbicides and plant growth regulators are commonly used to remove annual bluegrass, but this can lead to herbicide resistance. A collection of 21 papers published in Crop, Forage, & Turfgrass Management covers various topics related to annual bluegrass, including seed biology, the use of plant growth regulators, herbicide efficacy, and resistance surveys. These papers provide valuable insights for improving weed management strategies. [Extracted from the article]
