國會議員為遇害的奧默·諾伊特拉默哀,數千人在其家鄉猶太教堂哀悼 “`

(SeaPRwire) - 美國眾議院一群來自兩黨的議員在週二晚上為美以裔的歐默·諾特拉(Omer Neutra)默哀,他於2023年10月7日遭哈馬斯殺害,此前據信他還活著一年多。21歲的諾特拉是以色列國防軍(IDF)第7裝甲旅第77營的坦克排長,他是第一批響應哈馬斯襲擊的人員之一,該襲擊最終造成約1200人死亡,並最初導致250多名男女兒童被綁架。他的父母奧娜(Orna)和羅嫩(Ronen)在悲劇發生前幾天與Digital公司交談,他們相信他們的兒子在以色列國防軍長期評估他和他的坦克中另一名士兵尼姆羅德·科恩(Nimrod Cohen)已經遇害後仍然活著。紐約州民主黨眾議員湯姆·蘇奧齊(Tom Suozzi)代表諾特拉家族所在的選區,他在眾議院議事廳說:「420天來,歐默的父母和他的兄弟丹尼爾(Daniel)在數十萬其他人的愛與支持下,竭盡所能解救他們的兒子脫離囚禁。」「他們每天都在深深的悲傷和短暫的希望之間掙扎。他們從令人壓垮的焦慮轉變為堅定的決心。」蘇奧齊繼續說道:「就在幾天前,我們得知這位勇敢的年輕人,這道耀眼的光芒,這位勇敢的理想主義者,做出了最終的犧牲。」「歐默在過去的422天裡並非一直活著,他是在10月7日被謀殺的。」襲擊歐默坦克的畫面顯示,排長以及其他三人沙凱德·達漢(Shaked Dahan)、奧茲·丹尼爾(Oz Daniel)和尼姆羅德·科恩(Nimrod Cohen)被哈馬斯成員從軍車中拉出來。丹尼爾和達漢此前被評估在襲擊後已經遇害,根據以色列國防軍的說法,情報現在表明,大屠殺倖存者的後裔歐默也在2023年10月7日遇害。以色列軍方沒有說明他們是如何獲得這一新信息的,而科恩的命運仍然未知。週二,在歐默據報幾年前在那裡慶祝了他的成人禮的長島猶太教堂為歐默舉行的追悼會上,歐默的父親羅嫩說,這個消息讓他們「喘不過氣,空虛」。據報道,奧娜哭著說:「一年多來,我們一直在為你的存在注入生命,我美麗的男孩。」「在許多人的希望和愛之下,我們一直在繼續,繼續,繼續,讓你活著,從每個渠道呼喚你的名字,壓抑任何絕望的跡象,不停止呼吸或感受你不在的深痛。」她對出席追悼會的人說:「現在一切都清楚了。」「但不是我們希望的那樣。」奧娜和羅嫩將他們的兒子描述為有愛心、好朋友和運動員,但他們也強調了他的領導能力以及他在2023年10月7日的行為如何挽救了生命。據信,歐默的遺體仍然被哈馬斯扣押,與其他六名人質一起,其中只有三人目前被以色列國防軍評估為仍然活著,包括埃丹·亞歷山大(Edan Alexander)、薩吉·德凱爾-陳(Sagui Dekel-Chen)和凱斯·西格爾(Keith Siegel)。赫什·戈德堡-波林(Hersh Goldberg-Polin)的遺體在他與其他五人一起在8月份被發現死於加沙地帶的隧道中,被哈馬斯殺害後被找回。在週三找回以色他人質伊泰·斯維爾斯基(Itai Svirski)的遺體後,仍然有其他不明情況。伊泰·斯維爾斯基在2023年10月7日對貝埃里基布茲的襲擊中被俘。以色列國防軍證實他「被他的俘虜在囚禁中謀殺,他的遺體被扣押在加沙地帶」。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

英國殺嬰護士Letby因更多嬰兒死亡接受調查 News

英國殺嬰護士Letby因更多嬰兒死亡接受調查

(SeaPRwire) - 警方週三表示,目前正在服無期徒刑的露西·萊特比(Lucy Letby),因殺害七名嬰兒而被判刑,她已被問及更多嬰兒死亡事件。34歲的萊特比去年被判犯有謀殺罪,並在2015年6月至2016年6月期間,在切斯特郡切斯特伯爵夫人醫院新生兒科工作時,企圖謀殺另外七名新生兒,使她成為英國現代史上最惡劣的兒童連環殺手。她在今年早些時候的重審中被判犯有第八項謀殺未遂罪。在她被定罪時,警方表示他們正在對萊特比在醫院和利物浦婦女醫院(Liverpool Women’s Hospital)工作的整個時間進行進一步調查,以確定是否還有其他受害者。柴郡警方在一份聲明中表示:「我們可以證實,經協商後,露西·萊特比最近在獄中接受了警示性問話,這是關於對切斯特伯爵夫人醫院和利物浦婦女醫院(Liverpool Women’s Hospital)嬰兒死亡和非致命性倒塌事件的持續調查。」警方表示,將在適當的時候提供進一步的更新。目前,一項公開調查正在進行中,調查這些謀殺案是如何未被發現的,以及醫院對醫生在萊特比被捕前提出的關於萊特比的擔憂的回應。自從萊特比的審判以來,她的案件受到一些專家對檢方提出的醫療和統計證據的批評,一些媒體質疑她是否可能是司法錯誤的受害者。然而,倫敦上訴法院駁回了她推翻定罪的嘗試。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Hong Kong is also a place of scientific and technological innovation. The Global Innovation Index 2024 by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ranked the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster second globally for the fifth consecutive year. Hong Kong is an international trading and investment centre, so we need to provide a free and fair environment in which to do business. It is in our very interest to protect IP rights. The Business of IP Asia Forum brings together intellectual property professionals and business leaders from all over the world to discuss the latest developments in the IP world and to explore collaboration opportunities.”Mr Chan said in his opening remarks: “Our strategy for ensuring Hong Kong’s rise as a regional IP trading leader is built on two key pillars. First, enhancing IP infrastructure. We will update the Copyright Ordinance and the registered design regime to meet demand today and tomorrow. Legislative amendments will also be proposed to streamline IP litigation, allowing our courts to manage such cases more effectively. Second, we are building an IP savvy workforce and our Intellectual Property Department will work with the Qualifications Framework Secretariat to develop IP training materials for 23 industries. It will also advance our plans to introduce regulatory arrangements for local patent agents.”BIP Asia Forum promotes high-quality growthThis year’s BIP Asia Forum, themed “Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth”, features insights from industry leaders worldwide.During the “Policy Dialogue – Reimagining IP for Impact and Growth” session, Wang Binying, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said: “Global IP filings have shown mixed results in 2023. These figures prove that there is a continued willingness of investment in IP, and innovative movement worldwide in general. It also posed a question, how do we keep faster development and change downsides into positives' An important way to improve this trend is to do promote IP financing, in particular, financing high-risk, high-potential startups and emerging technologies.”The first day’s Plenary Session, titled “Unlocking Business Success with IPs”, features Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort; Guy Riddell, Managing Director of Peninsula Merchandising Limited; and Dr Na Wei, Senior Director of IP Licensing at Xiaomi.

Mr Karafilis said, “Anytime you’re looking at scaling a company, it’s about expanding your circle of competence. The way I did this was to hire experts and professionals in certain fields that then enabled that to expand. Something a bit different now in the AI era is that you can infinitely expand your competence. Using AI tools, you’re actually able to present to investors an ability to go into new markets, to produce new products, or to work on technical products that maybe you originally didn’t have any experience in.”Prof Jackson said: “AI is not a panacea or silver bullet. You have to use it selectively in a targeted way, because it’s new and we’re all learning how to use it in a supportive way. Artificial intelligence is not emotional intelligence.

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease in Mexico JCN Newswire

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease in Mexico

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the Federal Commission forthe Protection Against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS) in Mexico has approved humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease (AD)*.LEQEMBI selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils**), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are amajor component of Aβ plaques, 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. LEQEMBI is also approved and being marketed in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Great Britain.LEQEMBI’s approval is based on the large global Phase 3 Clarity AD study. In the Clarity AD study,LEQEMBI met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.(1),(2)Approximately 1.3 million people in Mexico are estimated to suffer from AD, accounting for 60-70% of all dementia diagnoses.3 AD most commonly affects individuals over the age of 65.(3)Eisai 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. Eisai and Biogen will co-commercialize and co-promote LEQEMBI in Mexico.*Collectively referred to mild cognitive impairment due to AD or mild AD dementia.**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.(4) Protofibrils cause injury toneurons 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.(5)About lecanemab (LEQEMBI®)Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulingamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).Lecanemab is approved and being marketed 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) ormild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). The treatment’s approvals in these countries was based onPhase 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.1,2 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 under regulatory review in 16 countries and regions, including the European Union. In November 2024, thetreatment received a 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 normaland 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. Eisaiserves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializingand 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.

Sweetness Affecting Both the Young and Old: Prevent Diabetes with LAC This World Diabetes Day ACN Newswire

Sweetness Affecting Both the Young and Old: Prevent Diabetes with LAC This World Diabetes Day

SINGAPORE, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - How much sugar does a Singaporean typically take in a day? In a recent speech by Health Minister Mr. Ong Ye Kung, Singapore is too sweet. While the average daily sugar intake of Singaporeans has fallen from 60g in 2018 to 56g in 2022, this number still works out to about 11 teaspoons of daily sugar consumption, about 10% higher than the ideal intake of less than 50g.Amid an ageing population, the younger generation in Singapore is also increasingly affected by this chronic condition, highlighting a growing national health concern related to sugar consumption.Sugar, a common mis-solution to anxiety, often provides a sense of fleeting comfort. The instant boost in dopamine from sugar can create a cycle of dependency, giving temporary relief from stress or anxiety but contributing to harmful physical effects, such as inflammation, weight gain, and insulin resistance.The overconsumption of sugar, combined with sedentary lifestyles and other unhealthy dietary habits have contributed to diabetes becoming a major global health crisis today – Alarmingly, diabetes rates are rising among the younger generation, including both teenagers and young adults, contributing to nearly half a million cases in Singapore. Astonishingly, 40% of Singaporeans remain unaware of their pre-diabetic status, an often silent condition that could lead to type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a chronic condition that if left unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, nerve damage or even vision loss. However, type 2 diabetes can be prevented through proactive lifestyle changes, including healthy eating, regular physical activity, so as to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.In line with World Diabetes Day on 14 November, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to highlight the importance of taking preventative measures against diabetes. By incorporating supplements that support blood sugar regulation and reduce carbohydrate absorption, along with a healthy diet and increased physical activity, individuals can maintain their glucose levels and maintain their metabolic health.LAC GlucoX is designed to support healthy glucose levels. Formulated with bitter melon and Fibersol-2, Banaba leaf, Gymnema, Chromium and Brown Seaweed, GlucoX helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and optimises glucose utilisation, supporting individuals in managing their blood sugar levels effectively.LAC Bitter Melon Formula, is formulated with Momordica Charantia Polysaccharide (MCP), a key compound from bitter melon known for its ability to support healthy blood glucose levels. It enhances the body’s ability to regulate insulin production and supports the overall metabolic health of individuals. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

(SeaPRwire) - 南韓總統尹錫悅在國會議員否決其行動後,撤回了戒嚴令。此前,尹錫悅誓言要消滅「反國家」勢力,此舉嚴重挑戰了國會,他指責國會同情北韓。路透社報導,週二晚間的戒嚴令遭到國會議長甚至尹錫悅自己黨派的領袖韓東勳的強烈反對,韓東勳與總統在處理近期醜聞的方面發生衝突。尹錫悅宣布後不久,人們開始聚集在國會大廈外,一些人高喊:「撤回緊急戒嚴!」並與軍隊發生肢體衝突。根據南韓法律,如果國會以多數票要求,總統必須解除戒嚴。參與投票的190名議員全部支持解除戒嚴。電視畫面顯示,在投票後,駐紮在國會的士兵離開了現場。五角大廈新聞秘書帕特·萊德少將表示,國防部長勞埃德·奧斯汀正在密切關注事態發展,美軍與南韓軍方保持著密切聯繫。萊德告訴記者:「美國政府正在與大韓民國聯繫。」萊德並未意識到駐紮在該國的28,500名美軍有任何兵力部署的變化。尹錫悅在深夜於YTN直播的未經預告的講話中表示,他別無選擇,只能採取斷然措施來保護南韓的自由和憲法秩序。他表示,反對黨劫持了議會程序,使國家陷入危機。他說:「我宣布戒嚴,以保護自由的大韓民國免受北韓共產主義勢力的威脅,以消滅卑鄙的親北韓反國家勢力,這些勢力正在掠奪我們人民的自由和幸福,並保護自由的憲法秩序。」他補充說,戒嚴將有助於「重建和保護」國家免於「陷入國家毀滅的深淵」。尹錫悅的這一出人意料的舉動讓人回想起自1980年代以來未曾見過的威權時代。自尹錫悅這位前首席檢察官於2022年上任以來,一直控制著南韓單議院的國會。反對派人士一再阻撓尹錫悅的議程,總統的支持率一直很低。Digital's Chris Pandolfo和美聯社及路透社為本報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
