$WTER 420 with CNW – Federal Report Shows Legalization Hasn’t Increased Youth Marijuana Use

A report from the CDC shows that cannabis consumption among teens has decreased during the years after states legalized recreational marijuana use.

According to the biannual Youth Risk Behavior Survey that was released on Friday, cannabis consumption increased between 2009 and 2013 then declined between 2013 and 2019. The data thus supports the case from backers that asserted that the creation of a regulated cannabis market would not influence youth consumption as prohibitionists had previously warned.

The survey also found that the rate of marijuana use recorded no change among teens and high school students between 2009 and 2019 despite consumption methods diversifying. When the analysis was done using another method, cannabis consumption declined during the 2009-2019 period.

The results confirmed the need to carry on the promotion of cannabis legalization and the regulation of community safety benefits as well as public health and with focus on limiting youth access.

The CDC report also shows 21.7 % of students in high school admitted to consuming cannabis in the last 30 days, while 29.2% reported to have consumed alcohol in the same period window. For lifetime use however, marijuana consumption is represented at 36.8%/

SAM, a prohibitionist group, stated that the data was a legalization negative. This is in spite of the figures showing that marijuana use hasn’t grown among teens with more states legalizing its use.

However, the analysis does not account for the fact that the CDC failed to include and observe lifetime alcohol use at any stage and the data was excluded from the report in 2019. The reason for this being that Youth Risk Behavior Survey coordinators decided to not include the question, this is including other changes that were made to the questions for the survey in the year 2018. However, no specific reason was given as to why the members decided to make the decision to do so.

In comparison though, alcohol use surpassed marijuana use. Therefore, making the assumption that trends of consumption would be the same is not far-fetched.

According to previous studies that focused on rates of teen use after cannabis legalization, there was a clear decrease in consumption. However, a related absence of evidence indicates an increase.

For instance, a study that collected data from the State of Washington ascertained that the decline in consumption of cannabis might be explained by the regulations that replaced the illegal market, which made marijuana lose its appeal.

This research is likely to come as good news to cannabis industry players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) who felt it was wrong to say marijuana legalization would increase teen use of the substance.

$GNPX Why Healthcare Professionals Should Utilize Social Media

As you join medical school, one of the first things that you will undergo during the orientation period is watching instructional videos. The videos are always about social media and what you should do and what you should not do as an upcoming healthcare professional. For long periods now, healthcare worker, were advised against the use of social media, especially when at work.

As a physician, there are some things that you are not supposed to do at all costs. For instance, you are not supposed to post the patients’ personal information, expose medically vital information, and disclose the patient’s image without their permission. However, social media does have a place in the life of a medical worker.

The use of social media is becoming an important tool that you should start familiarizing yourself with as a health worker. Several things that are found on social media are exciting and amazing that you, as a physician, can use to help your patients.

A good number of patients share their stories and create awareness of what they have gone through during their sickness. Furthermore, some patients who have recovered have formed community-based groups to help those patients who are having it rough. The groups are inspiring and motivating people, and you as a physician should also not be left out.

Initially, you may have seen social media platforms as areas where people can only throw their pictures having fun and going on trips. Things have now changed; today you will find live interviews, question and answer live videos for students, individuals talking of their difficult moments and how they managed, and more so the social impact organizations. Several people are now using social media arenas to collaborate with others, encourage those who are low and also make other noticeable progress.

Since most of the healthcare professionals have a busy schedule, using social media may be a challenge to them. However, you can create your own time as a physician and use the platform to make an impact in the lives of others. You can use social media to spread a message of hope to some of your patients who are almost giving up.

Medical institutions should start teaching their students how they can use social media in a more positive way. As you can see, social media is gaining popularity day in and day out, and medical schools need to take advantage of this. It is the moment medical schools must join the trails and highlight to their students the essence of incorporating social media while impacting the lives of patients.

They should teach their students from the start of what to do instead of focusing alone on what should not be done using social media. You may never know what benefits social media will bring, but we can assure you it will positively impact the lives of millions of people. You can also link with other physicians in different locations and learn new things about medicine and its various uses. This will help you gain more information as a physician, and you will significantly help your patients. A look at the social media presence of companies like Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) shows how important social media can be in all walks of life.

$MEDS Augments B2B Services with New Bundled, COVID-responsive Employee Wellness Package

  • Pharmaceutical supplies and services innovator Trxade Group Inc. has announced a new B2B resource that bundles telemedicine services that may prove particularly useful for companies during the ongoing pandemic period
  • Trxade Group’s new Bonum+ platform combines the power of telehealth consultation, AI-driven COVID-19 risk assessment and streamlined personal protective equipment purchasing to help manage employees’ care and performance
  • The company is an emerging web-based presence in the wellness market that builds trust and independent pharmacy purchasing power through drug pricing transparency
  • The company has achieved more than 50 percent penetration among the nation’s approximately 22,000 independent pharmacies.

Trxade Group (NASDAQ: MEDS) is expanding the B2B functionality of its supply chain trading platform through a first-of-its-kind bundled service that combines telehealth performance, a COVID-19 risk assessment tool and a personal protective equipment (“PPE”) purchasing tool to help businesses better deal with the medical needs of their internal corporate structures during an era of pandemic and beyond.

The company’s Bonum+ platform (http://nnw.fm/05X5O) builds on the Bonum Health Hub wellness brand that has established a web-accessible medical consultation service in conjunction with an online prescription pharmaceutical presence (http://nnw.fm/vBxt6) and the company’s app-accessible DelivMeds same-day / mail order pharmaceuticals delivery service (http://nnw.fm/YTRRS).

“This platform resolves a fundamental trust problem impacting employer’s safety and security policies, allowing companies to more effectively combat COVID-19 concerns in the workplace,” Bonum Health President Ashton Maaraba stated in the company’s most recent announcement. “Looking forward, we plan to continue to expand the breadth of services offered by Bonum Health, including adding a digital health hub with next-generation prescription concierge services.”

The Bonum+ platform centralizes communication and provides tools for COVID-19 contact tracing that helps companies assess employee risk profiles and respond as necessary with new PPE resources. The platform also offers health recommendations and connects employees with board certified physicians when needed, utilizing integrated artificial intelligence to streamline processes.

Trxade Group has distinguished itself as a web-based presence in the wellness market that emphasizes transparency in the pharmaceutical purchasing pipeline, empowering subscribers to assess drug prices and supply availability to make best product ordering decisions.

The company’s flagship platform has achieved more than 50 percent market penetration in attracting nearly 12,000 of the United States’ estimated 22,000 independent pharmacies so far, helping them to become more competitive with large pharmaceutical retail chains.

“Our platform lets these independents know that they’re receiving a fair price from competing suppliers on fair payment terms and often with next day delivery,” Founder, Chairman and CEO Suren Ajjarapu said in a recent earnings conference call (http://nnw.fm/exAAa). “We believe this radical price transparency, economy of scale and competition amongst suppliers leads (to) up to 10% reduction in pharmacies’ total annual drug purchase costs, with a drug-level savings of up to 90% on certain pharmaceutical products.”

Trxade Group thereby saves pharmacists from labor-intensive cost comparisons between pharmaceutical distributors on a repetitive basis, profiting through a fee structure similar in nature to the ones employed by merchandising pioneers such as PayPal and Visa.

The company’s second quarter financial report notes that revenues increased 244 percent year-over-year for the quarter, and by 199 percent sequentially from the first quarter of the year.

“We believe that we are well positioned to execute upon the immense opportunity facing us today, supporting critical public health efforts nationwide,” Maaraba stated.

$POAI Maximizing the Value of Drug Patents Before Losing Exclusivity

When you lose your drug patent exclusivity, it does not mean that you have lost your income when. Your anxiety may be awakened if only a new drug competitor enters the market. However, you can still ensure that your product still reaps big profits even if your drug patent is approaching loss of exclusivity. These are some of the ways you can maximize product value as a loss of exclusivity looms:

Early Planning

You should start developing your loss of exclusivity plans for your product at least two years before your drug patent expires. You can begin to implement this plan before you lose your exclusivity. If you wait till the last minute, you will minimize the efficiency of your efforts to build another drug brand relationship.

Venture into Over-the-Counter Drugs (“OTC”)

If you release an OTC drug into the market, it will allow you to access a broader range of customers. It will also lighten your concerns about your insurer repayment. However, you will incur some costs taking your OTC drugs to the market. These costs can be covered adequately and efficiently by the expanded and bigger market.

Create New Supply System

If you consider innovating how drugs are supplied, you will be able to keep the generic competition at a halt. For instance, antipsychotic drug developers came up with a longer-lasting version that has to be administered only four times annually. The merits in terms of patient conformity can make your branded drug to be adored over the generics that don’t offer a long-lasting solution for patients.

Stop Sales & Marketing

You may also decide to stop your sales and marketing activities but focus on adjusting your invention levels. Your medicines will remain in the market but without your previous sales and marketing strategies. This will allow you to reduce your expenditure but still maintaining your drug presence in the market. It is one of the best-liked loss of exclusivity plans in situations where there is a more significant competition from the generics and where competing with them directly is a problem.

Consider the Generic Market

Your drug company can create its own generic version of a drug that is about to face the loss of exclusivity in order to mitigate the adverse effects of losing patent exclusivity. There are different types of generics, and your company can opt for one that suits it:

  • Licensed generics- you enter a contract with a generic competitor to come up with the generic. Hence you also allow the generic competitor to enter the market earlier than expected.
  • Branded generics- You create a generic drug that is given its brand and sold at a lower price than the original brand.
  • Authorized generics- You provide a private licensed firm with a generic produced by your own company’s production facilities.

These are some of the strategies that you can adopt while you are facing drug patent expiration. It will also help you when you choose these strategies at the earliest time possible. Monitoring the market in case of any changes should also be one of your focus if you want to maximize your profits when you find yourself in this scenario. How do biomedical companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) handle this transition? One can only speculate!

$DRIO Mistakes to Avoid When Planning a Drug Launch

Launching a new product is always a huge undertaking. Though your company has managed to enter the market on several occasions, not every moment will resemble or will be successful as other moments. As you launch your new drug into the market, several factors must be put in place to ensure that your drug launch is successful. Note that without following proper launching procedures, your entry into the market may fail.

Though mistakes are sometimes inevitable, you should try to avoid them during this important function. If your firm is gearing towards launching its novel drug or expanding into new markets, some of the mistakes to avoid for your launch to be successful are:

Excluding the Big Image

In any investment, it is always essential that you keep your eye on the big picture. In the drug industry, the bulk of things that you need to put in place for the drug launch to be successful can be a big load to you. You should therefore always put your primary focus on the main aspects of your drug launch and let other non-essential issues to be done behind the scenes.

However, you should also note that only focusing on main issues and ignoring other parts may greatly backfire. This is why you should go for a step-by-step procedure since focusing on the main image alone will imply that you follow a slow but thorough process. If you take a step-by-step approach, you will ensure all the stages are appropriately handled before you move to the next step.

Operating in The Vault

For you to achieve and have a successful launch of your novel drug into the market, working with all the parties concerned is essential. When you actively involve all the teams taking part in the launch of your project, you can be assured of an excellent product outcome. Keep all the communication avenues open to all the parties involved. There will be continuous sharing of vital insights and information, and this will help one team solve the other’s shortcomings in case one arises.

For instance, the team in charge of brand management in your firm can share their insights with the marketing team. In the pharmaceuticals, it is always essential that you keep communication rolling so that each member speaks the same narrative. The division of labor is still vital if you want to be successful, and it will help your product to gain milestones in the market for decades.

Insufficient Product Information

Your marketing and sales team should always be knowledgeable about the product that you are about to release into the market. Your sales team should also have the potential of looking for interested physicians for your product. For this to happen, adequate preparations must, therefore, be put in place. Furthermore, it would be best if you determined how your product will perform in the market to know the areas where to shift your focus. Having a vision of how your drug will perform in the market will also help you identify possible issues. In this way, you will have the best opportunity to handle them hence save you from unnecessary fears.

Startups in the pharmaceutical or biomedical fields need to study how entities like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) execute product launches without breaking the bank.

$WTER 420 with CNW – Cannabis Sales in California Rise Significantly as Lockdown Measures Remain in Place

During the last quarter, California raked in $208.4 million in tax revenue from cannabis. In comparison, this figure was slightly higher when compared with revenue from the first quarter of the year, the CDTFA reported last Wednesday.

Despite many industries declining in output or failing, the cannabis market seems to be operating at even greater efficiency, as the report from California shows.

The $208.4 million did not factor in tax revenue that was collected by each jurisdiction. In the first quarter of 2020, tax returns were $205.9 million, this is including the $26.9 million in cultivation tax, $107.4 million in cannabis excise tax as well as $71.6 million in sales tax.

Since retail sales for cannabis were put into effect, the state has amassed $1.45 billion in marijuana tax revenue. The figure is inclusive of sales, excise and cultivation taxes.

In line with a recent study, if bans on marijuana businesses were lifted, the revenue would increase. As for now though, 75% of counties and cities in the state still implement cannabis market bans. This is despite a statewide vote carried out in 2016 that legalized the plant for adult use.

While the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration analysis showed growth in revenue, the Legislative Analyst’s Office released a report on the same that cited a 7% decline in the same time period. However, they did not take into account sales tax and exclusively focused on cultivation and excise tax revenue. This accounts for the difference in the findings of the agencies.

The analyst who did the LAO report, Seth Kerstein, stated that they chose to omit data from sales tax citing problems with the accuracy of the methods used to acquire that data.

In Illinois, legal cannabis purchases are increasing steadily. The state of Illinois launched cannabis retail sales earlier this year in January. In July, it experienced an additional record-breaking month with recreational marijuana sales in the month adding up to an estimated $61 million. This number, was higher than the previous month’s record, which raked in a whooping amount of about $47 million.

Additionally, in Oregon, a similar trend in cannabis sales is being experienced by officials, in the middle of the global health pandemic. The data that was reported in May indicated that the adult-use cannabis sales had grown by a 60% margin.

Analysts say sector players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) will feel vindicated since the industry has always asserted that having a regulated marijuana market will open untold economic benefits for states.

$GNPX Pandemic Warning Signs We Missed

You never knew that there would be a pandemic, and you had never seen anything like this before. No one would ever have imagined a thing like this will strike. However, before COVID-19 hit the world, several people had already issued warnings about the pandemic. Those people included medical experts, famous authors, and presidents. These people were issuing warnings in conferences, televisions, and government reports. Here are some of the seven warning signs about the pandemic that we ignored:

UNC Specialists warned about the emergence of coronavirus (2015-2016)

A famous coronavirus epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina had been warning about the outbreak for several years. In a remarkable article termed as the Nature Medicine, the epidemiologist predicted a possible risk of SARS-COV re-emergence from the viruses circulating in the population of bats. In 2016 in a paper known as PNAS, he further warned that the virus outbreak was on the loose and showed potentialities that could greatly affect human beings.

TED Talk by Bill Gates “We are not ready” (2015)

Bill Gates delivered a TED talk in 2015 with the title “The next outbreak? We are not ready.” Gates said that the greatest risk of a global pandemic that is highly infectious was nearing. Gates reminded the world about the warning a year and eight months later in a World Economic Forum in Switzerland. In 2017 (October), at the American Society of Human Genetics conference, Bill Gates also mentioned the emergence of a deadly pandemic while addressing the members.

Bill Gates also talked about the need to come up with new mechanisms to help fight the pandemic. He spoke about the need to develop vaccines and other therapies quickly and further offered new vaccine development ideas using the adenovirus-associated DNA and RNA or even editing genes.

Fauci’s Speech at Georgetown (January, 2017)

Antony Fauci gave a public lecture at Georgetown University with the heading “Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration.” The main message in his speech was that there would be a big challenge in handling the pandemic. Fauci also added that the upcoming regimes would have the same challenges previous administrations had.

“Coming of the Next Plague” by the Atlantic

A catching story was written by a proper scientist for the Atlantic in 2018 about “The coming of the next plague: is the US prepared?” Ed Yong, the author at Atlantic, referred to the H1N1 flu that attacked Mexico and caught the U.S. by surprise. Yong talked of the H1N1, which had spread for months and had not been noticed in the U.S. Yong added that the White House had become a home to a conspiracy-minded president, which was not to be underestimated.

Remarks by Alex Azar DHHS secretary (April, 2019)

In 2019 at the Biodefense summit, Azar asked,” What keeps you awake in the biodefense world?” and the response was the Pandemic flu. He concluded by saying, “I think everybody in this summit shares the same concern.”

China Cases Detected by NCMI (November, 2019)

In November 2019, a confidential report was circulated by the National Center for Medical Intelligence that warned of a contagious disease in Wuhan, China. The report was issued to the National Security Council, White House, and to Mark Esper, the Defense Secretary, who denied its awareness.

Pandemic warnings in FEMA reports (2019)

In an event managed within the National Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment report, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had predicted that a new virus pandemic having no vaccine would lead to inadequate medical supply, strain health centers, and cause economic shutdowns.

Had these warnings been heeded, who knows how better prepared the world might have been before COVID-19 struck? It would be eye-opening to hear what biomed companies like Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) think about the usefulness of such early warnings.

$POAI Artificial Intelligence Could Help Eradicate COVID-19

The use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) has increased over the years. This has enabled researchers to have the computing powers of higher orders than what was there when COVID-19 first struck. Today, artificial intelligence has significantly been used to find different patterns within large information sets. Furthermore, artificial intelligence is instrumental in helping you to understand better any information that is not characterized. AI can also be used in predicting trends and patterns of the various phenomenon, and this could hold the key to finding a solution to COVID-19.

Incorporating Artificial Intelligence in COVID-19 research

Artificial intelligence works even better with a set of information that has been well characterized. It will help you in picking up trends and patterns, especially when dealing with well-organized sets of data. One laboratory has been using AI in building dynamic, physics-based protein models. The models are to help come up with molecules that can help eradicate COVID-19 viruses as they interact with cells. Additionally, chemistry studies are also capable of generating information that can be used with the AI that can create a tight loop between computing and experimental work

Researchers can, therefore, use artificial intelligence to peruse through thousands of possible therapies in-store to come up with something novel to fight the virus. Both the physics and chemistry methods can be used with Artificial Intelligence to come up with a concrete and complete solution. Benevolent Artificial Intelligence recently identified “baricitinib,” an arthritis drug, as a possible therapy for COVID-19. The drug is in a phase three trial and its results are yet to be received. The process of using an already approved drug, such as baricitinib, was for the procedure to be faster and straight forward to find a drug that could quickly fight the pandemic.

How AI will spur baricitinib as a potential remedy for COVID-19

Baricitinib has the potential to deal with coronavirus in two ways: it may stop some of the kinases that the virus is using to gain access into the human cells, and it may also help in moistening the immune system overreactions as it has been in severe COVID-19 cases. In a nutshell, this drug has both the anti-inflammatory and antiviral combination in it.

Benevolent Artificial Intelligence also revealed that the movement of baricitinib within the kidney and liver showed that it could be combined with other antivirals, such as Remdevisir, without causing adverse effect to those organs. Such bulk information and research could not be possible without the help of artificial intelligence, according to one researcher.

Use of AI to generate lead compounds

Some companies are also aiming to use artificial intelligence in creating a purpose-built molecule to fight COVID-19, and the process has already shown some success. AI can also be employed in every step of drug discovery, development and in the demographic analysis that can be used to track COVID-19. The company has used the structure of the virus obtained from the SARS outbreak in 2003 to begin its drug finding process. All this progress has been due to the use of AI, which is now looked at as a potent tool in this fight. It wouldn’t be surprising if other biomed companies, such as Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), are already using AI in their own operations.

$POAI Exclusive Resources Provide Personal Profiling, Tools to Improve Patient Outcomes

  • POAI, Helomics builds AI-driven models that predict drug response, patient outcome
  • Company tests patient tumor, generates comprehensive picture that oncologists use to individualize therapy
  • Key to individualized insight is POAI’s Tumor Drug Response Profiling (“TDRP”) platform, NGS-based genomic profiling, unmatched cancer knowledge base

Guided by the mantra that “cancer is personal — we believe therapy should be too,” Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) subsidiary Helomics focus on building AI-driven models that will predict drug response and patient outcome of individual tumors. With the largest tumor inventory in the world, POAI leads the way in providing a functional precision medicine approach that harnesses the power of an individual patient’s tumor to personalize their cancer treatment plan.

POAI works closely with oncologists to provide key information to help improve their patients’ odds in their fight against cancer. Helomics current clinical test platform offers a powerful, proprietary approach that tests a patient’s unique tumor, then combines drug-response profiling and genomic profiling of that tumor to generate a comprehensive picture that an oncologist can use to individualize therapy and improve positive outcomes.

Oncologists rely on these personalized profiles to help reduce the risk that a patient receives ineffective therapies as well as to identify alternatives when a typical treatment recommended for certain types of cancer cannot be tolerated.

A key component in Predictive Oncology’s ability to offer such individualized insight is the company’s Tumor Drug Response Profiling (“TDRP”) platform, which it combines with the latest NGS-based genomic profiling and POAI’s vast cancer knowledge-base of 150,000 tumors. Exclusive to POAI, these resources provide a more functional approach to precision medicine and allow an oncologist to reach beyond genomics alone in providing cancer-treatment recommendations.

In addition, every tumor tested by POAI and Helomics adds data to the company’s unparalleled D-CHIP knowledgebase, which contains anonymized molecular and drug-response profiles from more than 150,000 cancer cases. This invaluable information provides researchers in pharma, biopharma and diagnostic companies actionable insights to help discover better targeted therapies as well as contribute to key developments in clinical trials, companion diagnostics, and biomarkers.

POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through the company’s Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a road map to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is utilizing artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage, gene-therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new treatment options for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes that currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The company’s lead product candidate, “GPX-001” (“quaratusugene ozeplasmid”), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). GPX-001 has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. GPX-001 has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for GPX-001 for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R)) for patients with “EFGR” mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone.

$NETE What Many Don’t Know About Electric Vehicles

You may not have considered buying an electric car probably because you lack enough information about them. Furthermore, several myths and misconceptions have been spread around, and these may have made you shy away from these vehicles. However, here are some of the facts that you did not know about electric cars. Having a glance at this article will enhance your knowledge about electric vehicles:

Electric vehicles may be more expensive to buy than diesel and gas cars, but you will realize that they are cost-effective in terms of maintenance and eliminating the cost of fuel. Furthermore, electric vehicles are exempted from some taxes, and you will be given some incentive packages. What makes electric cars to be expensive is the cost of their batteries. However, their battery cost has drastically reduced, making these cars cost-effective for you. Surveys have also shown that in the next ten years, the price of electric vehicles will significantly drop even further.

Various models of electric cars are expected to rock the market every year. You will therefore have a variety of models to choose from. Furthermore, the number of the electric vehicles going to flock the roads in the next five years is huge as other sixty new models are about to be released on the market. Besides, they are also going to have spectacular speeds with some models cruising up to 300mph.

Your desire is always to have a quality car at a friendly price. It is the reason why most electric car dealers are offering you financial incentives for you to go for these cars. For instance, in the U.S., the government will provide you with some tax incentives when you purchase one of these cars. Additionally, the entire Europe is also offering you appealing incentives when you buy an electric vehicle. Most of the countries are offering these incentives as a strategy to promote environmental conservation since these cars do not emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

You will no longer have the stress of branching to a charging station to charge your car because it is now easier to charge your vehicle at your home or your workplace. In the U.S., you can install a level 2 charging station at your home while in Europe you can have a 1-3 phase depending on the size of your residence. You can also do the same installation at your place of work. By doing this, you will only be making stopovers for snacks but not charging your car.

You may decide to use your electric car battery to power your home. By connecting it to your solar panels, you will have enough power which you can use in your house and also at your charging station. Your car will be helping in transporting you and at the same time helping you to generate energy at your residence.

You now know some of the fascinating facts about electric cars that you did not know before. It is now essential you consider owning one as it will be beneficial to you. It is no wonder that sustainable companies like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) are willing to work with electric vehicle companies since they share a desire to conserve the environment.

$DRIO Ethical Considerations in Human Biospecimen Collection

As researchers are frantically looking for a COVID-19 vaccine and other treatments, safety, and health ethical issues of patients must be highly considered. Some ethical issues, like the anonymity of patients, must be handled with proper attention so as not to affect the esteem of any individual. As a researcher, before using any patient in your clinical trials, you must first obtain written consent from them. You may risk your job in acquiring the biospecimen from patients if you do not seek permission from them.

Also, you should familiarize yourself with your country’s legal and ethical laws regarding human subjects. For instance, several states have different bodies that give consent to research involving human subjects. However, it is always essential to remain professional and uphold high standards in every discipline that you are involved in.

Types of Specimen Researchers Collect

Potential samples that you may receive are excess materials from a process that your subject is already undertaking. In several countries, for you to obtain human biospecimen, you first need to get the donor’s consent. The remaining samples after the test have been conducted are not recollected for research again. However, other regulations that govern the re-use of these samples in a study must also be adhered to.

In the U.S., samples from corpses are not considered as human research; hence they can be exempted from the ethical issues regarding human subjects. In Europe, the samples from post-mortems are regarded as gifts, and if you have to use them in research, the ethical issues regarding human specimen must be strictly followed. In the UK, using samples from the deceased will require you as a researcher to seek informed consent from their next of kin and the samples to be used must also be stored at the Human Tissue Authority licensed headquarters.

Quality of Samples

Initially, biobanks were used as storage of the specimen for in-house studies. Since most of the researchers are putting their focus on personalized medicine, researchers require high-quality informatics specimen. Due to the differences in the specimen collection and storage methods, various researchers are focusing on standards to ensure they have quality and reliable samples.

Organizations, such as the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories, were established to focus on harmonizing and identifying quality standards. The body also ensures the researchers are well informed on the ethical issues and innovation by offering them some education.

Quantity of Samples

All research requires a large number of samples. Furthermore, the quantity should not affect their quality. The samples should also be of different varieties that match the situation under study. Besides, researchers also need to use demographics and clinical information to help support their research. The reliability of information obtained from human samples will depend on the consistency and quality to be analyzed.

Established biomedical companies like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) have mastered all the research standards applicable in the U.S., and startups in this space need to borrow a leaf from these companies if they are to stay out of trouble.

$GNPX Florida Approves Release of Engineered Mosquitoes to Combat Viral Diseases

Some of the infectious ailments spread by mosquitoes such as yellow fever, Zika, Chikungunya, and dengue are growing concerns in the U.S. and globally. To successfully combat these diseases, you will have to deal with their vectors effectively. Recently, permission was granted to the piloting program in Florida to release genetically modified mosquitoes to the environment. The initiative is to help combat the spread of these infectious diseases.

The proponent of this project is Oxitec which aims at controlling and combating insect pests such as the medflies, mosquitoes, and diamondback moths. The project has been fully supported by the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District Board of Commissioners (“FKMCD”). The project is now going to be brought to reality after ten years of thorough planning.

Oxitec is planning to release male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that are homozygous for self-limiting genes to the environment. After the Oxitec males mosquitoes are released in the environment, they will fertilize the female breeding mosquitoes. After fertilization, the gene will be adopted by both mosquitoes of which they will all turn out to be heterozygous. The female species will eventually die while the male will continue living. They will continue mating with other female progenies till the female species inherit 50% of their genes.

The remaining 50% of the female mosquitoes will maintain their population since they will not be affected by these male species. However, it would be best if you asked yourself this critical question; how many times will the male species be released to make this population control strategy essential in controlling these vectors?

Field trials have been performed by Oxitec in Brazil and Cayman Islands and have indicated that the method can be more productive. But you should ask yourself, will the strategy be useful in large areas like the Florida Keys or the whole Florida State? An additional question that you should also think about is that how many male specie mosquitoes will be required to run the project successfully? And how much will it cost for the program to be efficient?

However, the project will pave ways for other technologies that may make good impacts on these problems. One area that will have to be improved from the project is the removal of antibiotics from the procedure. It was noted that Oxitec mosquitoes were bred with the help of tetracycline to suppress the self-limiting gene. Tetracycline presence in the breeding of male mosquitoes could tamper with their fitness; hence more mosquitoes will be required for the process to be effective. If the project by Oxitec fails to succeed, it will be more cumbersome for other approaches of mosquito controls to be successful.

Another researcher has also developed the sterile insect technique (“SIT”), which is capable of producing 100% sterile male species that are also fit enough. The technology has demonstrated that it does not need antibiotics and can also be released in the form of eggs. The eggs can also be preserved for at least a year before being released. By combining these two technologies, controlling vectors can be successful, hence bringing a reduction in the diseases being spread by mosquitoes. The disease burden facing humanity is likely to go down if this project, together with the work being done by companies like Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) yields positive outcomes.
