NEFECON(R) Included in National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL)

November 29, 2024
HONG KONG, Nov 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On November 28, the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced the "National Reimbursement Drug List (2024)" (NRDL), which will officially take effect on January 1, 2025. NEFECON(R), the first etiological treatment for IgA nephropathy developed by Everest Medicines, was successfully included in the NRDL. This milestone signifies a breakthrough in advancing the standardization of IgAN treatment and improving accessibility and affordability, offering hope for millions of IgAN patients in China. NEFECON(R) has been prescribed in mainland China since May this year and has been approved in Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea and in Singapore under the trade name Nefegan(R).NEFECON(R) is the first ever treatment for IgAN to receive full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the first non-oncology therapeutic to receive breakthrough therapy designation in China by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), underscoring its globally leading position and exceptional clinical value. Recently, at the 2024 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting, data from the open-label extension (OLE) phase of the NefIgArd Phase 3 trial demonstrated that patients undergoing a second course of NEFECON(R) treatment experienced similar benefits in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation and proteinuria reduction as observed after the initial treatment, with good tolerance. These findings further validate the feasibility and efficacy of long-term treatment strategies, aligning with recommendations from the "KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for The Management Of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) And Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV)", highlighting NEFECON(R)'s innovation and clinical value in IgAN treatment. NEFECON(R) was also listed as the only treatment proven to reduce the levels of pathogenic forms of IgA and IgA immune complexes.IgAN is highly prevalent in Asia and is one of the main causes of kidney failure in young adults in China. Statistics show that with approximately 5 million IgAN patients in China and over 100,000 newly diagnosed patients annually, there is a significant unmet clinical demand. Since NEFECON(R)'s first prescription was issued in Mainland China in May 2024, the product has demonstrated strong market performance. According to Everest Medicines' interim report, NEFECON(R) achieved RMB1.673 billion in sales within its first month, reflecting widespread recognition of its therapeutic benefits and the significant demand for innovative therapies among Chinese patients.With NEFECON(R)'s successful inclusion in the NRDL, its accessibility and coverage in China are expected to increase significantly, driving sustained and robust commercial revenue growth for Everest Medicines. This milestone not only strengthens the company's leadership in nephrology but also injects new momentum into optimizing resource allocation and promoting synergistic development. As reimbursement coverage leads to expanded market penetration, this development is poised to be a key catalyst in unlocking the full value of the company's core products, further accelerating the reevaluation of its market potential.NEFECON(R) included in the NRDL is a testament to Everest Medicines' differentiated commercial strategy. Another core product, XERAVA(R) (eravacycline) is the world's first fluorocycline antibiotic for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections, continues to excel in the field of complicated intra-abdominal infections. According to the recently released final report of the "Comprehensive Evaluation Project on the Clinical Application of Eravacycline", the drug demonstrated an impressive overall treatment effectiveness rate of 90.1%, further affirming its clinical value and safety. As of the first half of 2024, XERAVA(R) achieved cumulative sales of RMB2.33 billion, underscoring its strong market acceptance and potential.In the autoimmune disease portfolio, VELSIPITY(R) continues to make steady progress in its commercialization journey. In October, under the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, VELSIPITY(R) received approval from the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration and is now available for use in three designated medical institutions within the Greater Bay Area. Earlier this year, VELSIPITY(R) was also approved for use in Macau and Singapore. In addition, Everest Medicines recently submitted a new drug application (NDA) for VELSIPITY(R) in Hong Kong and plans to submit an NDA in Mainland China by the end of the year. As Everest Medicines' third commercialized product, VELSIPITY(R) is poised to become a key growth driver, with significant market potential expected to unfold as its adoption expands further.Everest Medicines continues to make significant strides in innovative R&D, with its proprietary mRNA development platform now fully localized. The company's first personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16, has Initiated an Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT). Additionally, EVER001, a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor being developed globally for the treatment of renal diseases, marks another important advancement. Everest Medicines will host an investor call on December 4th to discuss the results of the Phase 1b/2a clinical study of EVER001 in primary membranous nephropathy, highlighting its potential to drive future growth.Driven by the inclusion of NEFECON(R) in the NRDL and the continued progress of its core pipeline, Everest Medicines' business model demonstrates its resilience and strength. The company remains steadfast in fulfilling its commitments to investors while strengthening market confidence in its innovation and long-term growth potential. With a diversified focus on renal, infectious, and autoimmune diseases, Everest Medicines is harnessing its robust commercialization platform to fuel growth, steadily advancing toward its vision of becoming Asia's leading global biopharmaceutical company.

Supra is like an old friend that holds a special place in my heart. While other manufacturers were putting their beautiful new prototypes which they were going to introduce through the paces, I was driving an old Supra that was no longer in production. So even though Toyota had no plans to make a new Supra, just like a lot of other die-hard Supra fans around the world, I secretly wanted to make it happen. The new GR Supra was born through testing at Nürburgring, and I can honestly say that it is a car that is fun to drive and better than ever."

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease Launched in South Korea JCN Newswire

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease Launched in South Korea

November 29, 2024
TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov 28, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the humanized anti- soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” has been launched in South Korea. LEQEMBI received the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) approval in May 2024 for treatment in adult patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or mild AD dementia (early AD).LEQEMBI selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils*), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are a major component of Aβ plaques in AD, thereby reducing both Aβ protofibrils and Aβ plaques in the brain. LEQEMBI is the first approved treatment shown to reduce the rate of disease progression and to slow cognitive and functional decline through this mechanism.It is estimated there were approximately 900,000 dementia patients in South Korea in 2021,1 with one in ten people over the age of 65 suffering from dementia,1 and one in five from mild cognitive impairment (MCI).2 It is reported that Alzheimer’s dementia patients account for about 70% of all dementia patients.2 The average annual nursing care/medical costs per dementia patient is estimated to be 21.1 million South Korean Won (KRW), while the cost for patients with severe dementia reaches 33.1 million KRW.1Eisai serves as the lead of LEQEMBI development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. In South Korea, Eisai Korea Inc. will distribute the product and conduct information provision activities.Eisai Korea Inc. has been a pioneer in the field of dementia for many years, focusing on activities such as raising disease awareness. In recent years, Eisai Korea Inc. has been working with various stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, academic societies, patient groups, care centers, health checkup companies, and diagnostic companies, to create a dementia ecosystem that promotes AD awareness and early diagnosis/treatment. Eisai Korea Inc. will first launch this drug in the private market, including the establishment of a Patient Assistance Program, to deliver lecanemab to patients awaiting the treatment, aiming to make an impact not only on patients but also on their caregiving families and South Korean society.* Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.3 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.4About LecanemabLecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).Lecanemab is approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Great Britain for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). The treatment’s approvals in these countries was based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results. The most common adverse events (>10%) in the lecanemab group were infusion reactions, ARIA-H (combined cerebral microhemorrhages, cerebral macrohemorrhages, and superficial siderosis), ARIA-E (edema/effusion), headache, and fall.Lecanemab is marketed in the U.S., Japan, China, Great Britain and others, and is under regulatory review in 17 countries and regions, including the European Union. In November 2024, the treatment received positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending approval.Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for ADEisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for ADSince 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody back-up was signed in May 2015.About Eisai Co., Ltd.

Pemerintahan Biden Desak Ukraina Turunkan Usia Wajib Militer Menjadi 18 Tahun “`

November 28, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Pemerintahan Presiden Biden mendesak Ukraina untuk menurunkan usia wajib militer menjadi 18 tahun untuk mengimbangi pertumbuhan militer Rusia hampir tiga tahun setelah invasi skala penuh Rusia.Seorang pejabat senior mengatakan kepada The Associated Press pada hari Rabu bahwa "perhitungan sederhana" situasi Ukraina membutuhkan penurunan usia wajib militer dari usia saat ini 25 tahun untuk memperluas kekuatan tempurnya yang kalah jumlah.Pejabat tersebut, yang berbicara dengan syarat anonim, mengatakan Ukraina gagal memobilisasi dan melatih cukup tentara untuk mengganti kerugian di medan perang dan mengimbangi kekuatan Rusia yang semakin besar.Pada bulan April, Presiden Ukraina Volodymyr Zelenskyy menandatangani undang-undang yang menurunkan usia wajib militer dari 27 menjadi 25 tahun untuk mengisi kembali pasukannya yang menipis.Namun, penurunan usia wajib militer minimum membuat beberapa warga Ukraina khawatir bahwa mengambil lebih banyak pemuda dari angkatan kerja dapat semakin merusak ekonominya yang sudah Beberapa pejabat Ukraina melihat dorongan dari AS sebagai bagian dari upaya Barat untuk mengalihkan perhatian dari keterlambatan mereka sendiri dalam menyediakan persenjataan dan peralatan lainnya.Bahkan dengan lebih dari 1 juta warga Ukraina yang sekarang bertugas, termasuk Garda Nasional dan unit lainnya, pejabat Ukraina mengatakan mereka membutuhkan sekitar 160.000 pasukan tambahan untuk mengimbangi di medan perang.Tetapi pemerintahan Biden percaya mereka mungkin membutuhkan lebih banyak lagi, dengan mengatakan bahwa mengatasi kekurangan tenaga kerja Ukraina jauh melampaui kebutuhan untuk Juru bicara Dewan Keamanan Nasional Sean Savett dalam sebuah pernyataan mengatakan pemerintah akan terus mengirimkan persenjataan ke Ukraina tetapi percaya bahwa "tenaga kerja adalah kebutuhan terpenting" bagi Ukraina."Jadi, kami juga siap untuk meningkatkan kapasitas pelatihan kami jika mereka mengambil langkah-langkah yang tepat untuk mengisi pasukan mereka," kata Savett.Gedung Putih telah menggelontorkan lebih dari $56 miliar dalam bantuan keamanan ke Ukraina sejak awal dan diperkirakan akan mengirimkan miliaran dolar lagi ke Kyiv sebelum Biden meninggalkan jabatannya dalam waktu kurang dari dua bulan. telah mengatakan bahwa ia akan mengakhiri perang dengan cepat ketika ia menjabat pada 20 Januari 2025, meskipun beberapa pihak khawatir bahwa ia mungkin tidak akan terus memberikan dukungan militer kepada Ukraina.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Israel Menembak di Lebanon ke Arah ‘Tersangka’ yang Diduga Melanggar Gencatan Senjata yang Sudah Masuk Hari Kedua “`

November 28, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Israel menembak pada hari Kamis ke arah "tersangka" di Lebanon selatan yang diduga melanggar kesepakatan gencatan senjata antara Israel dan Hizbullah.Juru bicara IDF Arab, Avichay Adraee, menulis di X bahwa "dalam satu jam terakhir, sejumlah tersangka terlihat tiba, beberapa di antaranya dengan kendaraan, ke beberapa daerah di Lebanon selatan, yang merupakan pelanggaran kesepakatan tersebut."Militer Israel dan Lebanon telah memperingatkan warga Lebanon yang mengungsi untuk tidak kembali ke desa-desa yang telah dievakuasi di – di mana pasukan Israel masih berada setelah invasi darat mereka pada awal Oktober – sampai pasukan tersebut mundur. Kesepakatan yang ditengahi oleh AS dan Prancis dan disetujui oleh Israel pada Selasa malam, menyerukan penghentian pertempuran selama dua bulan pertama dan mengharuskan Hizbullah untuk mengakhiri kehadiran bersenjata di Lebanon selatan, sementara pasukan Israel harus kembali ke sisi perbatasan mereka."Pasukan IDF menembak mereka," kata Adraee. "Pasukan IDF yang dikerahkan di wilayah Lebanon selatan menegakkan setiap pelanggaran perjanjian gencatan senjata." Ia juga suatu zona yang membentang di sepanjang perbatasan Israel-Lebanon yang harus dihindari warga Lebanon untuk sementara waktu."IDF tidak bermaksud untuk menargetkan Anda, dan oleh karena itu, pada tahap ini, Anda dilarang untuk kembali ke rumah Anda dari garis ini ke selatan sampai pemberitahuan lebih lanjut," tambah Adraee. "Siapa pun yang bergerak di selatan garis ini – akan membahayakan dirinya sendiri."Tank-tank Israel menyerang enam area di wilayah tersebut Kamis pagi, melukai dua orang, mengutip media pemerintah Lebanon dan sumber-sumber keamanan.Gencatan senjata antara Israel dan Hizbullah memasuki hari kedua, dengan kelompok teroris Lebanon itu mengatakan bahwa pejuangnya "tetap sepenuhnya siap untuk menghadapi aspirasi dan serangan musuh Israel" dan akan memantau penarikan pasukan IDF "dengan tangan di picu," menurut Reuters.Konflik di Lebanon dimulai ketika Hizbullah, yang didukung oleh Iran, melancarkan serangan ke utara Israel setelah Hamas menyerang Israel pada 7 Oktober 2023. Sejak pertempuran bolak-balik dimulai, Israel telah membunuh banyak pemimpin Hizbullah, selain menurunkan infrastrukturnya di Lebanon. Dengan mengakhiri konflik dengan Hizbullah, mengatakan Hamas akan berdiri sendiri di Jalur Gaza, membuka jalan bagi pasukan Israel untuk mendapatkan kembali sandera yang tersisa di sana.Ribuan warga Lebanon yang mengungsi akibat perang kembali ke rumah mereka pada hari Rabu ketika gencatan senjata mulai berlaku, mengendarai mobil yang dipenuhi barang-barang pribadi, menurut Associated Press."Itu adalah 60 hari yang buruk dan mengerikan," kata Mohammed Kaafarani, yang mengungsi dari desa Lebanon, Bidias, kepada AP. "Kami sampai pada titik di mana tidak ada tempat untuk bersembunyi.""Kami tidak peduli dengan puing-puing atau kehancuran. Kami kehilangan mata pencaharian, properti kami, tetapi tidak apa-apa, semuanya akan kembali," tambah Fatima Hanifa, seorang penduduk yang tinggal di dekat Beirut.Di Israel, suasana hati dilaporkan lesu, dengan warga Israel yang mengungsi khawatir bahwa Hizbullah belum dikalahkan dan tidak ada kemajuan menuju pengembalian sandera yang ditahan di Gaza."Saya pikir masih belum aman untuk kembali ke rumah kami karena Hizbullah masih dekat dengan kami," kata Eliyahu Maman, yang mengungsi dari kota utara Kiryat Shmona, yang terpukul keras oleh pertempuran selama berbulan-bulan, kepada AP.’ Danielle Wallace, Louis Casiano dan Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Rusia Meluncurkan Serangan Rudal dan Drone Besar-besaran ke Infrastruktur Energi Ukraina

November 28, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Rusia melancarkan serangan "masif" lainnya terhadap infrastruktur energi Ukraina pada hari Kamis, menyebabkan pemadaman listrik bagi lebih dari satu juta rumah tangga, menurut pejabat Ukraina.Serangan Kamis, yang melibatkan lebih dari 200 rudal dan drone, menandai serangan dalam waktu kurang dari dua minggu.Menteri Energi Herman Halushchenko mengatakan di Facebook bahwa "serangan terhadap fasilitas energi terjadi di seluruh Ukraina." Dia menambahkan bahwa pemadaman listrik darurat telah diterapkan di seluruh negeri.Wilayah yang terkena dampak meliputi wilayah Lviv di Ukraina barat, wilayah Rivne di barat laut, wilayah Volyn yang berbatasan, dan wilayah Ivano Frankivsk di barat, menurut The Associated Press. mengatakan rudal jelajah Kalibr dengan amunisi cluster, yang melepaskan banyak bom kecil di area yang luas, menghantam target sipil. Dia menggambarkan serangan itu sebagai "eskalasi yang berbahaya."Zelenskyy meminta negara-negara Barat untuk mempercepat pengiriman persenjataan pertahanan udara yang dijanjikan sebagai tanggapan atas serangan tersebut."Setiap serangan semacam itu membuktikan bahwa sistem pertahanan udara dibutuhkan sekarang di Ukraina, di mana mereka menyelamatkan nyawa, dan bukan di pangkalan penyimpanan," kata Zelenskyy di Telegram.Andrii Yermak, kepala menuduh Rusia menimbun rudal dengan maksud untuk melancarkan perang selama musim dingin. Dia juga mengatakan Rusia "dibantu oleh sekutu mereka yang gila, termasuk dari Korea Utara."Bukan hal yang tidak biasa bagi Rusia untuk menyerang Ukraina selama bulan-bulan musim dingin yang keras dalam upaya untuk menolak akses warga sipil ke persediaan air panas dan air minum.Serangan-serangan itu juga bertujuan untuk menghancurkan produksi rudal, drone, kendaraan lapis baja, dan aset militer lainnya di Ukraina.Dalam hampir tiga tahun perang, hampir setengah dari infrastruktur energi Ukraina.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

AS menjatuhkan sanksi kepada 21 sekutu Maduro lainnya yang dituduh melakukan penindasan pasca-pemilihan di Venezuela

November 28, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Amerika Serikat telah menjatuhkan sanksi kepada 21 sekutu tambahan Presiden Nicolás Maduro, menuduh mereka pada hari Rabu melakukan beberapa tindakan represif yang dilakukan pejabat Venezuela sebagai tanggapan atas pemilihan bulan Juli.Para pejabat keamanan dan tingkat kabinet yang dikenai sanksi oleh Departemen Keuangan termasuk kepala badan pemasyarakatan negara, direktur badan intelijen, dan menteri Kantor Presiden Maduro. Mereka bergabung dengan puluhan warga Venezuela yang terkena sanksi, termasuk kepala pengadilan tinggi negara, menteri, dan jaksa.Pemerintahan Biden pekan lalu mengakui kandidat oposisi Venezuela Edmundo González sebagai "presiden terpilih" negara itu. AS juga pada hari Rabu memberlakukan pembatasan visa pada individu tambahan yang dituduhnya melakukan tindakan setelah pemilihan 28 Juli.Meskipun demikian, ia dan pemerintahnya menolak untuk menunjukkan penghitungan suara yang mendukung klaimnya.González meninggalkan Venezuela pada bulan September untuk pengasingan di Spanyol setelah surat perintah penangkapan dikeluarkan untuknya terkait dengan penyelidikan tentang penerbitan penghitungan suara. Mantan diplomat, yang mewakili partai-partai oposisi utama, mengklaim telah memenangkan pemilihan presiden dengan selisih yang cukup besar.Pada bulan September, pemerintah AS menjatuhkan sanksi terhadap 16 sekutu Maduro, menuduh mereka menghalangi pemungutan suara dan melakukan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia.Efek dari sanksi individu dan pembatasan visa yang diumumkan pada hari Rabu tidak jelas. Loyalitas Maduro yang sebelumnya dihukum masih memegang kekuasaan di pemerintahan Venezuela.Para anggota parlemen Venezuela pada hari Selasa melanjutkan perdebatan tentang sebuah RUU yang akan mengkatalogkan sanksi ekonomi sebagai kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan dan memungkinkan penuntutan siapa pun yang menyatakan dukungan untuk tindakan tersebut.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Tendangan Bola Kepala Merusak Daerah Otak yang Terkena CTE Bisnis

Tendangan Bola Kepala Merusak Daerah Otak yang Terkena CTE

November 28, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - CHICAGO, 27 November 2024 — Sundulan bola dalam sepak bola mungkin menyebabkan kerusakan otak yang lebih besar daripada yang diperkirakan sebelumnya, menurut sebuah studi yang akan dipresentasikan minggu depan di Radiological Society of North America (). Sundulan merupakan teknik yang banyak digunakan dalam sepak bola di mana pemain mengontrol arah bola dengan memukulnya menggunakan kepala. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, penelitian telah dilakukan yang menunjukkan hubungan antara benturan kepala berulang dan penyakit neurodegeneratif, seperti ensefalopati traumatik kronis (CTE). “Potensi efek dari benturan kepala berulang dalam olahraga jauh lebih luas daripada yang diketahui sebelumnya dan memengaruhi lokasi yang mirip dengan tempat kita melihat patologi CTE,” kata penulis senior studi Michael L. Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., profesor radiologi di Columbia University Irving Medical Center di New York. “Ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran akan efek samping yang tertunda dari benturan kepala.” Meskipun penelitian sebelumnya telah mengidentifikasi cedera pada materi putih otak pada pemain sepak bola, Dr. Lipton dan rekan-rekannya menggunakan pendekatan baru untuk teknik pencitraan otak canggih yang disebut diffusion MRI untuk menganalisis mikrostruktur di dekat permukaan otak. Untuk mengidentifikasi bagaimana benturan kepala berulang memengaruhi otak, para peneliti membandingkan MRI otak dari 352 pemain sepak bola amatir pria dan wanita, dengan usia antara 18 hingga 53 tahun, dengan MRI otak dari 77 atlet olahraga non-benturan, seperti pelari. Pemain sepak bola yang menyundul bola pada tingkat tinggi menunjukkan kelainan pada materi putih otak yang berdekatan dengan sulkus, yang merupakan alur dalam di permukaan otak. Kelainan di wilayah otak ini diketahui terjadi pada cedera otak traumatis yang sangat parah. Kelainan tersebut paling menonjol di lobus frontal otak, area yang paling rentan terhadap kerusakan akibat trauma dan sering terkena dampak selama sundulan sepak bola. Lebih banyak benturan kepala yang berulang juga dikaitkan dengan kemampuan belajar verbal yang lebih buruk. “Analisis kami menunjukkan bahwa kelainan materi putih merupakan mekanisme di mana sundulan menyebabkan kinerja kognitif yang lebih buruk,” kata Dr. Lipton. Sebagian besar peserta studi tidak pernah mengalami gegar otak atau didiagnosis dengan cedera otak traumatis. Ini menunjukkan bahwa benturan kepala berulang yang tidak menyebabkan cedera serius masih dapat memengaruhi otak secara negatif. “Studi ini mengidentifikasi kelainan struktural otak akibat benturan kepala berulang pada atlet yang sehat,” kata Dr. Lipton. “Kelainan tersebut terjadi di lokasi yang paling khas dari CTE, dikaitkan dengan kemampuan yang lebih buruk untuk mempelajari tugas kognitif dan dapat memengaruhi fungsi di masa mendatang.” Hasil studi ini juga relevan dengan cedera kepala dari olahraga kontak lainnya. Para peneliti menekankan pentingnya mengetahui risiko benturan kepala berulang dan potensi mereka untuk membahayakan kesehatan otak dari waktu ke waktu. “Mendeskripsikan potensi risiko benturan kepala berulang dapat memfasilitasi keterlibatan olahraga yang lebih aman untuk memaksimalkan manfaat sambil meminimalkan potensi bahaya,” kata Dr. Lipton. “Fase selanjutnya dari studi ini sedang berlangsung dan memeriksa mekanisme otak yang mendasari efek MRI dan faktor-faktor perlindungan potensial.” Penulis bersama adalah Bluyé Demessie, A.B., M.S., Walter F. Stewart, Ph.D., Richard B. Lipton, M.D., Molly E.

Academic Labs (AAX) Selected as the Official Educational Sponsor for the 2024 World Chess Championship in Singapore

November 28, 2024
SINGAPORE – November 28, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Academic Labs (AAX), the trailblazing EduFi ecosystem built on the Solana blockchain, proudly announces its sponsorship of the 2024 World Chess Championship, taking place in Singapore from November 25 to December 13. As one of the main sponsors alongside Google, AAX celebrates this landmark event that sees global tech giants supporting the prestigious chess tournament for the first time in its history. The 2024 World Chess Championship: Ding Liren vs. Gukesh Dommaraju This year’s championship showcases a gripping battle between the reigning Chinese world champion Ding Liren and the 18-year-old Indian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju. Ding, hailing from Wenzhou, China, has dominated the Chinese chess scene from 2009 to 2016 and claimed the world champion title in 2023 by defeating Ian Nepomniachtchi. Gukesh, on the other hand, is the youngest-ever Candidates Tournament winner and aims to make history as the youngest classical world champion, potentially surpassing the legendary Garry Kasparov’s record. The championship, held in Singapore, is expected to draw an audience of 200 million viewers across more than 80 countries, with an estimated 40 million viewing hours. The event’s unprecedented global interest underscores chess’s enduring appeal and ongoing resurgence, unparalleled since the iconic 1972 World Championship. “As a project founded by born and bred Singaporeans, we are immensely proud to sponsor this landmark event taking place in our city,” said Kingston Kwek, Chief Visionary Officer of AAX. “Having a strong local sponsor creates an impactful ‘wow’ factor right here at home. It’s an honor to celebrate the beauty and global appeal of chess, which continues to inspire and challenge millions.” Chess: A Game of Global Reach and Technological Significance With over 500 million players worldwide, including 100 million on the online platform Chess.com, chess enjoys an immense global following. The 2024 championship, featuring a faceoff between champions from chess powerhouses China and India, is poised to attract massive viewership from these two nations – critical markets for AAX, given their vast populations. Moreover, chess has been pivotal in developing Artificial Intelligence (AI). The game’s perfect blend of well-defined rules and complex strategy makes it an ideal testbed for AI algorithms before scaling up to real-world challenges. AI techniques originally designed for chess, such as the Minimax algorithm and Alpha-Beta pruning, have found extensive applications in robotics, game theory, and decision-making systems. Chess AI has advanced pattern recognition capabilities, with implications spanning computer vision and natural language processing. To date, chess remains a crucial benchmark for evaluating state-of-the-art AI models. Academic Labs: Pioneering EduFi on Solana, Bolstered by Recent Milestones Academic Labs (AAX) stands at the forefront of the EduFi revolution as the first ecosystem of its kind on the Solana blockchain. By harnessing Web3 technology, AAX aims to democratize education, making it more engaging, accessible, and community-driven. The project has recently achieved significant milestones, boasting over 100,000 registered users, a 250,000-strong community, and 5,000 Daily Active Users. The sponsorship of the 2024 World Chess Championship is set to significantly impact Academic Labs’ future growth and development. By aligning itself with one of the most prestigious events in the chess world, AAX is positioning itself as a key player in the intersection of education, technology, and strategic thinking. The global exposure gained through this sponsorship will help AAX reach a wider audience, attracting chess enthusiasts and learners from around the world to its platform. As the championship unfolds, AAX will have the opportunity to showcase its innovative approach to education, demonstrating how its EduFi ecosystem can enhance the learning experience and foster community engagement. Moreover, the association with a high-profile event like the World Chess Championship will boost AAX’s credibility and reputation within the education and technology sectors. This increased visibility and trust will help AAX to forge new partnerships, attract top talent, and secure further investments to support its growth and expansion. In the long term, the exposure and connections gained through the World Chess Championship sponsorship will serve as a catalyst for AAX’s growth, helping it to establish itself as a leader in the EduFi space. As more people discover the benefits of decentralized education and the power of Web3 technology, AAX will be well-positioned to capitalize on this growing trend and drive the adoption of its platform on a global scale.

TOKYO, Nov 28, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") announced today the launch of its DCR(1) Etch System 9060Series. This system, which leverages Hitachi High-Tech's plasma etching(2) technology and expertise, has been developed to achieve precise control over the horizontal (isotropic) etching process in dry environments, aimed at applications such as the high-aspect(3) three-dimensional structures used in advanced semiconductor devices.With the 9060 Series, Hitachi High-Tech will support manufacturing process advancements for cutting-edge semiconductor devices, which are becoming increasingly minute and more complex, and will help customers toovercome the challenges they face, from R&D through to mass production.Product Development BackgroundSemiconductor devices have become increasingly miniaturized over the past half century and beyond, with the processing dimensions of integrated circuits now at nanometric levels. This, in turn, necessitates controllability over the etching process at the atomic-layer (angstrom) level. In addition, the likes of 3D-NAND(4) and 3D-DRAM*5structures are used for semiconductor memory devices to improve density by making the elemental structure three- dimensional. As a result, the dry etching process used to manufacture semiconductor memory devices requires isotropic (horizontal, even) etching, which is precisely controlled at the atomic-layer level, in addition to conventional anisotropic (vertical) etching.The 9060 Series maintains the low-damage, high-precision plasma etching technology cultivated by Hitachi High-Tech over many years while achieving isotropic etching at the atomic-layer level, thereby helping our customers whomanufacture advanced semiconductors with highly integrated three-dimensional structures by shortening development periods, reducing costs, and improving productivity.Key Features1. Achieves high throughput processing and low equipment footprint*6Typically, when performing isotropic etching in dry environments, it is necessary to alternate between low temperatures for adsorption of radicals*7 and high temperatures for thermal desorption, which means time is requiredfor heating and cooling. To resolve this problem, the 9060 Series incorporates a unique wafer-cooling mechanism andinfrared lamp within a single vacuum reactor, enabling the temperature of the wafer being etched to quickly alternate between low and high temperatures. This enables high-throughput isotropic etching of various materials and lowers the footprint of the equipment.2. Achieves high-precision isotropic processingIn addition to isotropic processing through heating and cooling via the wafer-cooling mechanism and infrared lamp, the system also utilizes plasma etching technology—one of Hitachi High-Tech's strengths—to achieve isotropic processing with high surface reaction speed and highly precise control. This makes it possible to control the shape of the openings and bottom of the wafer pattern at the atomic level, which is essential to fabricate detailed three-dimensional structures.With the 9060 Series as well as our other high-performance etch systems and technology, Hitachi High-Tech iscontinuing to respond to our customers' various manufacturing needs for the development and mass production of semiconductor devices.We will continue to provide innovative and digitally enhanced solutions to our products for the upcoming technology challenges, and create new value together with our customers, as well as contributing to cutting-edge manufacturing.(1) DCR (dry chemical removal): A method used to advance both vertical and horizontal etching by utilizing chemical reactions in a dry environment.(2) Plasma etching: A technique used to fabricate detailed patterns using ions and chemical reactions by separating gases in a vacuum chamber.(3) High-aspect: Generally, refers to the aspect ratio of a rectangle. Here, it refers to the ratio of depth to width (depth/width) of patterns to be etched on wafers. A high aspect means this ratio is a high value, which makes it very difficult to manufacture and measure.(4) 3D-NAND structure: A type of non-volatile flash memory. Refers to a NAND flash memory in which memory cells are arranged vertically as well as horizontally to increase storage density.(5) 3D-DRAM structure: A type of volatile memory. A structure in which bits are stored vertically to achieve high density.(6) Footprint: The amount of space taken up by a piece of equipment.(7) Radical: An atom or molecule with unpaired electrons.

The World Bank estimates that global B2C e-commerce sales will reach US$6 trillion by 2024, with Mainland China leading the way – over a quarter of retail consumer goods sales occur online. In collaboration with the HKECIC, the study aims to help Hong Kong businesses explore new markets and seize opportunities. The HKTDC will continue to support local companies in engaging with e-commerce and taking advantage of growth opportunities on the global stage.”From June to August 2024, the HKECIC and the HKTDC conducted phone and online interviews with 352 local trade and manufacturing companies to assess the development of Hong Kong companies’ cross-border e-commerce operations, while also detailing the challenges they face and identifying the support services they require.Driving significant sales growth in the next two yearsAs network technology has become more widespread, while electronic payment services are now ubiquitous and e-commerce platforms have come to offer an ever-expanding range of services, even new entrants and smaller businesses can easily develop cross-border e-commerce operations on a global basis. 90.0% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could raise their total sales revenue in the next two years.The surveyed companies in general indicated that cross-border e-commerce positively impacts their expansion plans whether via broader sales channels (69.0%), new market opportunities (50.3%), or enhanced brand awareness (48.9%).Reaching out to global markets: Focusing on the Mainland and ASEANHKTDC Principal Economist Wing Chu, who led the study, said, “The scope of cross-border e-commerce business for Hong Kong companies spans all parts of the world, covering markets, such as Mainland China (75.2%), ASEAN (53.0%), the US (42.2%), Japan (30.9%) and the EU (30.0%). Looking ahead, respondents generally agreed that, for the next two years, Mainland China (61.6%) and ASEAN (44.3%) offer the greatest growth potential. The surveyed companies generally hope to make use of risk management to meet market competitiveness and the challenges outlined, such as insurance for cargo transportation or payments (39.8%), e-commerce promotion (34.4%) and logistics services for both delivery and product returns (33.5%).”Coping with online and offline challengesCross-border e-commerce operators must confront a variety of practical issues relating to both online and offline procedures, including goods delivery, platform charges, exchange rates and refunds as well as market, regulation and financing issues.Of the companies surveyed, 38.4% said that customs clearance procedures in Mainland China and foreign markets are complex, with 31.3% indicating that product returns involve complicated procedures and / high costs, and 29.8% finding it difficult to manage practical issues, such as the international delivery of small orders.Regarding the issues of platform charges, exchange rates and refunds, the high commission rates charged by third-party e-commerce platforms and long payment periods were identified as challenges by 51.1% of respondents. Meanwhile, 46.6% said fluctuating exchange rates or high exchange costs were problems they faced during their cross-border e-commerce operations. 28.4% were concerned about the expansive costs about refund policy.In addition, companies must contend with a wide range of difficulties. Majority of the surveyed companies (84.9%) noted that developing cross-border e-commerce presented market-related challenges, such as keen market competition. Meanwhile, 54% indicated regulatory issues, and 41.2% encountered financial challenges.Leveraging Hong Kong's advantages to unlock global e-commerce opportunitiesIn addition to the questionnaire, HKTDC also interviewed a number of companies engaged in cross-border e-commerce or related businesses. According to expert’s opinion, though the mainland market is huge in scale, the competition is keen. Overseas opportunities abound, such as the advanced economies of Europe and America have mature online shopping markets and e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia.In addition, online sales strategies tailored to target markets are of prime importance, including the collaboration with KOL or influencers and using short-form videos to attract consumers.The study also highlighted Hong Kong's excellent logistics capabilities and extensive air cargo network as well as its well-developed financial markets and diverse financing services, which are well-suited to meeting the financial needs of e-commerce. Meanwhile, Hong Kong serves as an ideal gateway for foreign products entering Mainland China, with the Hong Kong brand enjoying a competitive edge in the region.Photo download: https://bit.ly/3Bb95BADr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (left) and Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (right)Dr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (second left); Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (second right); Wing Chu, Principal Economist, HKTDC (first left); and Cynthia Chin, General Manager, HKECIC (first right)References- HKTDC Research Portal https://research.hktdc.com/en- Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg1OTQ2Mzk3MwAbout HKECICThe HKECIC was established in 1966 under the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation Ordinance (Chapter 1115).
