Brazil Targets Doubled Tax Revenue from Online Gambling iGame

Brazil Targets Doubled Tax Revenue from Online Gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - Brazil’s tax authority, the Receita Federal (RF), projects a substantial increase in tax revenue from licensed online gambling by 2026. This projection comes after a reported 235% surge in taxes collected in Q1 2026 from the 87 active licenses within the Brazil Bets market, according to SBC Noticias Brazil. The federal government collected R$2.5bn (£350m) in taxes related to betting between January and February, a significant rise from the R$756m (£108.4m) gathered in the corresponding period of 2025. January alone contributed R$1.49bn, with February yielding R$1.04bn. Analysts have suggested a possible seasonal dip in February, potentially linked to the Carnival festivities. This sharp increase is attributed to the ongoing maturation of Brazil's regulated betting framework, which is now in its second year of full operation under Law No. 14,790/2023. Market growth has been a primary factor, with the number of fully licensed operators growing from 49 at the start of 2025 to 87 by February 2026, leading to improved channelization and tax collection. New fiscal measures were approved by Congress at the end of 2025 through Law No. 224/2025, introducing a gradual increase in the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) tax. The rate is set to rise from 12% to 13% in 2026, with a goal of reaching 15% by 2028. According to RF Secretary Robinson Barreirinhas, the initial phase of this incremental adjustment is anticipated to generate an additional R$260m in tax revenue solely in 2026, bolstering the government's confidence in betting as a reliable source of fiscal income. Based on current trends, the RF estimates that tax income from betting could range between R$11bn and R$13bn by the close of 2026, provided that sustained player demand supports the incremental tax increases. This represents a steady year-on-year growth from the R$9.95bn collected in 2025, rather than an exponential leap. Fuel to political fires For policymakers, this trend highlights a broader objective: to strike a balance between revenue generation and regulatory oversight as Brazil continues to refine its gambling framework amidst political discussions regarding the social implications of gambling. The Brazil Bets market is also undergoing several governance changes as it enters the spring season. In March, the PT government appointed Dario Durigan as the new Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and the Economy, following Fernando Haddad's acceptance of the PT Party's nomination to run for governor of the State of São Paulo. Concurrently, Daniele Cardoso has been confirmed as the new Secretary of the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), the federal body responsible for regulating Brazil’s betting market, concluding months of industry speculation. Collectively, the fiscal growth and the institutional changes signify a market transitioning rapidly from its launch phase to policy consolidation, as Brazil Bets continues to develop under increased political and regulatory scrutiny.

Eisai and Nuvation Bio Announce Marketing Authorisation Application for Taletrectinib for the Treatment of Advanced ROS1-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Validated by the European Medicines Agency

TOKYO and NEW YORK, NY., Mar 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”), a human-centered global leading research-based pharmaceutical company working in the neurology and oncology therapeutic areas, and Nuvation Bio Inc. (NYSE: NUVB, Corporate Headquarters: New York, NY, CEO: David Hung, M.D., “Nuvation Bio”), a global oncology company focused on tackling some of the toughest challenges in cancer treatment, today announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated the Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1-positive (ROS1+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The filing will follow a standard review timeline.Taletrectinib (marketed as IBTROZI® in the U.S. and Japan) is a highly selective, next-generation oral treatment for patients living with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC.1 In January 2026, Eisai and Nuvation Bio announced they had entered into an exclusive licensing and collaboration agreement in Europe and additional countries* outside the U.S., China and Japan to extend the global reach of taletrectinib. Following this filing to the EMA, additional filings are planned for the U.K., Canada and other regions included in Eisai’s licensed territories.Across Europe, nearly 400,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year with NSCLC accounting for 80% of cases.2,3 It is estimated that approximately 2% of patients with NSCLC have ROS1+ disease.4,5“The validation of the MAA is a significant moment for patients in Europe with ROS1+ NSCLC,” said Terushige Iike, Chief Business Officer of Eisai Co., Ltd. “With its efficacy and safety profile, we believe taletrectinib has the potential to become a standard of care therapy for the thousands of patients living with this aggressive disease in Europe. We look forward to working closely with the EMA during the review process with the goal of making this treatment available to appropriate patients who urgently need targeted options.”The application is based on data from the two pivotal Phase 2 clinical studies, TRUST-I and TRUST-II, evaluating taletrectinib in patients globally.6,7 Results from a pooled analysis of the TRUST clinical program were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in April 20258, and Nuvation Bio anticipates near-term disclosure of updated data reflecting even longer patient follow-up, further building on the depth and durability of responses observed to date. Additionally, given the comprehensive nature of the taletrectinib clinical dataset and based on favorable feedback received at a pre-submission meeting with the CHMP Rapporteur and Co-Rapporteur, the accepted MAA will be considered to support full approval.“Having seen the meaningful impact taletrectinib has already made for patients with ROS1+ NSCLC in the U.S., China and Japan, we are thrilled to partner with Eisai and have an accepted MAA for review in Europe,” said David Hung, M.D., Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvation Bio. “This accepted filing represents an important milestone in our global development strategy and brings us one step closer to delivering this highly selective, next-generation oral therapy to more patients who need it in Europe and around the world.”In June 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to taletrectinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC across lines of therapy, following a Priority Review and double Breakthrough Therapy designations. Taletrectinib is also approved for patients with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC in Japan, where it is marketed by Nippon Kayaku, and in China, where it is marketed by Innovent Biologics under the brand name DOVBLERON®.* Eisai’s licensed territories: Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Russia, Turkey, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and IndiaAbout ROS1+ NSCLCEach year, more than one million people globally are diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of lung cancer.9 It is estimated that approximately 2% of patients with NSCLC have ROS1+ disease.4,5 About 35% of patients newly diagnosed with metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC have tumors that have spread to their brain.10 The brain is also the most common site of disease progression, with about 50% of previously treated patients developing central nervous system (CNS) metastases.10,11About TaletrectinibTaletrectinib is an oral, potent, CNS-active, selective, next-generation ROS1 inhibitor therapy. On June 11, 2025, following Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designations for both TKI-naive and TKI-pretreated disease, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved taletrectinib for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC. Learn more about taletrectinib in the U.S. at IBTROZI.com. 1About the TRUST Clinical ProgramThe TRUST clinical program comprises three registrational studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of taletrectinib. TRUST-I (NCT04395677) and TRUST-II (NCT04919811) are Phase 2 single-arm studies evaluating taletrectinib for the treatment of adults with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC in China (N=173) and globally (N=189), respectively. The primary endpoint of both studies is confirmed objective response rate (cORR) as assessed by an independent review committee. TRUST-IV (NCT07154706) is a Phase 3 placebo-controlled study evaluating taletrectinib for the adjuvant treatment of adults with resected early-stage ROS1+ NSCLC. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and China. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival as determined by investigator, and the primary completion date is estimated to be in 2030. Nuvation Bio is also sponsoring TRUST-III (NCT06564324), a confirmatory randomized Phase 3 study evaluating taletrectinib versus crizotinib in 138 patients in China with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC who have not previously received ROS1 TKIs.6,7About Eisai Co., Ltd.Eisai's Corporate Concept is "to give first thought to patients and people in the daily living domain, and to increase the benefits that health care provides."

Fatal liver events occurred in 0.6% of patients. Median time to first onset of AST or ALT elevation was 15 days (range: 3 days to 20.8 months).Increased AST or ALT each led to dose interruption in 7% of patients and dose reduction in 5% and 9% of patients, respectively. Permanent discontinuation was caused by increased AST, ALT, or bilirubin each in 0.3% and by hepatotoxicity in 0.6% of patients.Concurrent elevations in AST or ALT ≥3 times the ULN and total bilirubin ≥2 times the ULN, with normal alkaline phosphatase, occurred in 0.6% of patients.Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal ILD or pneumonitis can occur. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.3% of patients, including 1.1% Grade 3/4. One fatal ILD case occurred at the 400 mg daily dose. Median time to first onset of ILD/pneumonitis was 3.8 months (range: 12 days to 11.8 months).ILD/pneumonitis led to dose interruption in 1.1% of patients, dose reduction in 0.6% of patients, and permanent discontinuation in 0.6% of patients.QTc Interval Prolongation: QTc interval prolongation can occur, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. IBTROZI prolongs the QTc interval in a concentration-dependent manner.In patients who received IBTROZI and underwent at least one post baseline ECG, QTcF increase of >60 msec compared to baseline and QTcF >500 msec occurred in 13% and 2.6% of patients, respectively. 3.4% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time from first dose of IBTROZI to onset of ECG QT prolongation was 22 days (range: 1 day to 38.7 months). Dose interruption and dose reduction each occurred in 2.8% of patients.Significant QTc interval prolongation may occur when IBTROZI is taken with food, strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors, and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc. Administer IBTROZI on an empty stomach. Avoid concomitant use with strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc.Hyperuricemia: Hyperuricemia can occur and was reported in 14% of patients, with 16% of these requiring urate-lowering medication without pre-existing gout or hyperuricemia. 0.3% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time to first onset was 2.1 months (range: 7 days to 35.8 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) Elevation: Myalgia with or without CPK elevation can occur. Myalgia occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 11 days (range: 2 days to 10 months).Concurrent myalgia with increased CPK within a 7-day time period occurred in 0.9% of patients. Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients with myalgia and concurrent CPK elevation.Skeletal Fractures: IBTROZI can increase the risk of fractures. ROS1 inhibitors as a class have been associated with skeletal fractures. 3.4% of patients experienced fractures, including 1.4% Grade 3. Some fractures occurred in the setting of a fall or other predisposing factors. Median time to first onset of fracture was 10.7 months (range: 26 days to 29.1 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on literature, animal studies, and its mechanism of action, IBTROZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.ADVERSE REACTIONSAmong patients who received IBTROZI, the most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥20%) were diarrhea (64%), nausea (47%), vomiting (43%), dizziness (22%), rash (22%), constipation (21%), and fatigue (20%).The most frequently reported Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (10%), decreased neutrophils (5%), and increased creatine phosphokinase (5%).DRUG INTERACTIONSStrong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors/CYP3A Inducers and Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use.Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid concomitant use with PPIs and H2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer locally acting antacids at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking IBTROZI. OTHER CONSIDERATIONSPregnancy: Please see important information in Warnings and Precautions under Embryo-Fetal Toxicity.Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose.Effect on Fertility: Based on findings in animals, IBTROZI may impair fertility in males and females. The effects on animal fertility were reversible.Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of IBTROZI in pediatric patients has not been established.Photosensitivity: IBTROZI can cause photosensitivity. Advise patients to minimize sun exposure and to use sun protection, including broad-spectrum sunscreen, during treatment and for at least 5 days after discontinuation.

The Divide Between AGA and Sportsbooks Deepens as Bet365 Leaves iGame

The Divide Between AGA and Sportsbooks Deepens as Bet365 Leaves

(AsiaGameHub) - The American Gaming Association (AGA) has seen a decline in its membership at a time when the trade group and the industry are facing pressure from multiple fronts. The offshore gambling market continues to operate, sweepstakes casinos have faced challenges but are persisting, and significantly, the prediction market sector has experienced substantial growth, posing a threat to the interests of traditional sportsbook businesses. The Clash Between Traditional Businesses and Prediction Markets Interestingly, it is this latter development that has led to a division between the AGA and its members, with DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics Betting & Gaming, and now bet365 withdrawing from the organization. While no party has publicly detailed their reasons, the fact remains that the AGA's adversarial stance towards prediction markets has coincided with a stated interest in the sector by major sports betting companies. DraftKings and FanDuel relinquished their licenses in Nevada to focus on their prediction market endeavors elsewhere, each launching a dedicated platform, with Fanatics subsequently following suit. This naturally raises the question: Is Bet365 planning to launch its own prediction market platform? The possibility exists, though there have been no official indications thus far, with bet365 not being registered with the National Futures Association, for example, nor having submitted an application to do so. However, even if bet365 is still exploring the option, this does not preclude the company from eventually entering the space. Prediction markets are widely regarded as the next significant business opportunity for sports betting companies, with both DraftKings and FanDuel maintaining a generally optimistic outlook for their future in this area. These companies have expressed cautious skepticism that prediction market platforms would ultimately undermine the sports betting sector, asserting that they represent a distinct market segment. Meanwhile, state regulators, attorneys general, and members of Congress have continued to pursue actions against the sector. This article is provided by a third-party.

Minnesota State Capitol May Offer Tax Relief for Charitable Gambling and Reduce Ticket Prices iGame

Minnesota State Capitol May Offer Tax Relief for Charitable Gambling and Reduce Ticket Prices

(AsiaGameHub) - Participants in bar bingo, pull tabs, or meat raffles often believe their money supports a good cause, regardless of whether they win, by funding local charities. However, this is not necessarily true, according to advocates for charitable gambling in Minnesota. They claim a significant portion of that money actually goes to the state as taxes. A long-awaited charity gambling tax relief currently being considered at the Minnesota State Capitol may now address this issue. Close to $200M in Tax a Year “Our tax burden is quite high,” stated Rachel Jenner, executive director of Allied Charities of Minnesota. She added that their organizations “sent about $196 million to the state last year.” According to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board, charitable gambling, described as “any gambling activity conducted by Minnesota nonprofit organizations to raise funds for charitable purposes”, generated almost $5 billion in gross receipts in the last fiscal year from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The board reports that nearly 3400 nonprofits used charitable gambling to generate close to $145 million for local community causes. Jenner indicated that approximately 85% of that revenue was returned to players of bingo, raffle, pull-tabs, paddlewheels, or tipboards as winnings. Conventional gambling activities, such as poker tournaments or “casino nights,” are prohibited for fundraising. After paying out prizes, organizations also have operational and staffing expenses. In 2025, charitable gaming groups paid over $208 million in taxes and fees, of which $196 million was directed to the state. This results in a considerably smaller amount for direct community aid. Jenner said that in total, roughly 1,100 charitable organizations divided about $147 million for local donations. The State Takes More Than the Charities “Every year, the state takes more than the charities,” Jenner stated. “We want our organizations to be able to keep more of their money.” The effect is being felt locally; the Northeast Minneapolis Lions Community Foundation reported $1.5 million in profits last year but paid $949,310 in state taxes. This left $531,000 to be distributed to over 60 community groups. “It’s just frustrating when $500,000 goes to the community, and $1 million goes to the state,” commented gambling manager Marisa Peck. “It’s just a big shocking number, that’s for sure.” Advocates state that most charitable gambling organizations face a tax rate of 33.5%, which Jenner contends is higher than the rate for many large corporations. She also highlights that, unlike standard businesses, these groups cannot write off expenses. “We’re Looking to Modernize the Meat Raffle Limits” While lawmakers at the Capitol are debating potential tax relief, which might be financed by future revenue from legalized sports betting, another urgent issue is under discussion: adjusting the price of meat raffle tickets. Weekly meat raffles attract big crowds across the state, with participants hoping to win a large package of meat. However, Bob Adams of the Coon Rapids Map Bandit Wrestling Club says the meat packages have recently gotten smaller. After purchasing the meat and covering staffing costs for the raffles, less money remains, leading to reduced profits for the organizations. As a result, a price increase is needed. Nonetheless, raffles operate under strict limits that have been enforced since the 1980s. “We’re looking to modernize the meat raffle limits”, Jenner said. A proposed bill at the state capitol would increase those limits. Currently, charities can charge a maximum of $2 for a meat raffle ticket, but the new legislation would permit an increase to $5. This change would also raise the prize limit from $70 per round to $200. Charities would still have the option to charge one or two dollars per ticket if they believe it would draw the largest crowd. The new bill would provide them “an opportunity to get creative with how they want to play the games and what kind of prizes they want. The bill must still undergo several more steps before it reaches the Senate floor, but the Senator who wrote the bill expresses confidence it will pass this session, and advocates hope the new limits will be implemented as early as this fall.

This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures and trade war uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.The global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patient experiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.European BusinessesDuring the year ended 31 December 2025, the European market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$1,887.0 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$268.0 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2024. This geographic market accounted for 50.5% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase of revenue from the European market was mainly attributable to the increase in sales order volume driven by the launch of new products, such as digital dentures, and our state-of-the-art digital workflows.The Group has been the frontrunner to provide comprehensive digital solutions offerings, ranging from numerous minimal invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners, and is well positioned to capture the opportunities arising from the accelerated digitalization trend of the dental industry. The Group continues to aggressively gain market share from international and domestic competitors through our established dental ecosystem solutions with a focus on education and digitalization, which is available within close proximity to our clients; effectively meeting our clients’ high expectations through our various onshore and offshore resources. The Group is committed and will continue to equip ourselves to provide the state-of-the-art digital solutions offerings to the dental community in the market.North American BusinessesDuring the year ended 31 December 2025, the North American market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$696.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$55.7 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2024. This geographic market accounted for approximately 18.6% of the Group’s total revenue.A significant portion of our business in the North America region comprises higher-end products manufactured domestically by MicroDental Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“MicroDental Group”). While demand for discretionary cosmetic treatments remained soft throughout 2025, our centralized digital workflows and network-wide production oversight enabled us to deliver enhanced service quality and operational efficiencies to our North American customers.Our diversified supply bases in the US, China, Vietnam and Thailand continue to provide greater flexibility to navigate US tariff uncertainties — an advantage that sets us apart from competitors. Although digitalization of imported product lines drove growth in mass market cases, implementation of the US tariff in April 2025 introduced new uncertainties and contributed to a slow growth in sales for our import-focused business unit.Greater China BusinessesFor the year ended 31 December 2025, the Greater China market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$615.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$46.8 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2024. This geographic market accounted for approximately 16.5% of the Group’s total revenue.The Mainland China market faced headwinds from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition and the situation started to stabilize in the second half of 2025. This also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong (which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits in Hong Kong). The Group’s has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and stay focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, ensuring long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The Group is optimistic in its mid/long-term outlook for this market in particular where the latest procurement-related government measures are expected to (i) standardize the pricing of dental prosthetics and develop price transparency, which would level the playing field; (ii) allow the Group’s leading brand name and reputation to be a key consideration for its client and customer; and (iii) have the Group benefit from its large production team and its ability to allocate resources efficiently according to the customer or client.Australian BusinessesFor the year ended 31 December 2025, the Australian market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$289.1 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$24.4 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2024. This geographic market accounted for approximately 7.7% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of new digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and the revenue contribution from the acquisition of Digital Sleep which is partially offset by the depreciation of AUD against HK$ by 2.4% compared with the year ended 31 December 2024.Through our various brands, which offer onshore-and offshore-made products, at multiple price points ranging from economy and standard to premium/boutique, the Group is able to effectively penetrate the entire Australian market. We have invested in local production capacity to provide faster service to our customers, and to provide choices around where the products are made. The Group is one of the largest players in the Australian market and is a preferred supplier to the major corporate dental groups in the market.Other MarketsOther markets primarily include Thailand, Indian Ocean countries, Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore. For the year ended 31 December 2025, these markets recorded a revenue of approximately HK$248.9 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$182.4 million as compared with the year ended 31 December 2024. This geographic market accounted for approximately 6.7% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Other markets was primarily driven by the revenue contribution from the newly acquired Hexa Ceram.Future Prospects and StrategiesThe global macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and potential tariff changes continuing to create headwinds. However, the Group’s geographically diversified production footprint and global distribution network position us strongly to navigate these challenges. Unlike many competitors reliant on single-country manufacturing, our operations across China, Vietnam and Thailand (including the newly acquired Hexa Ceram) provide superior resilience and flexibility. This strategy, combined with our ability to adapt quickly to local market conditions, enables the Group to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities across regions.The dental industry has continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience, underpinned by irreversible demographic trends, including aging populations and increasing awareness of oral health, which drive consistent long-term demand. Building on our record 2025 performance, the Group is well placed to sustain momentum and further strengthen its market leadership.Digitalization remains an irreversible industry trend that is accelerating consolidation of the dental prosthetics industry. We are at the forefront of this transformation, with digital solution cases now representing approximately 35–40% of total volume. Our centralized digital workflows, intra-oral scanner partnerships, proprietary solutions and global education centers have enhanced operational efficiency, reduced turnaround times and delivered superior customer experiences. These initiatives create high entry barriers and will continue to drive margin expansion and market share gains in the coming years.Following the successful integration of Hexa Ceram (Thailand’s largest dental laboratory, acquired in January 2025) and Digital Sleep Design (Proprietary nylon oral appliance to treat obstructive sleep apnea), our Southeast Asian presence and specialized capabilities have been significantly strengthened. This expansion, coupled with our diversified supply bases in the US, China, Vietnam, and Thailand, provides enhanced flexibility to address potential trade and geopolitical risks while supporting faster regional delivery.Looking ahead, the Group remains committed to reinforcing its worldwide leading position through a multi-dimensional approach. We will continue to pursue selective acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships to expand and complement our product offerings, particularly in our high-growth clear aligner, Trioclear, while strengthening our distribution and sales networks. Ongoing investments in mass-scale production facilities, AI, automation, research and development, and digital innovation will drive efficiency gains and secure our position at the forefront of the industry.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry.

New York Lawmakers Introduce Measures to Alleviate Gambling-related Harms iGame

New York Lawmakers Introduce Measures to Alleviate Gambling-related Harms

(AsiaGameHub) - The New York State Assembly has passed a comprehensive package of legislative measures intended to mitigate gambling-related harm and enhance consumer protections, coinciding with the continued expansion of betting throughout the state. New Bills Aim to Boost Player Protections in Growing Betting Sector The initiative, spearheaded by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and the Racing and Wagering Committee, proposes a series of reforms to encourage responsible gambling by casinos and mobile operators. Legislators stressed that the swift rise of online sports betting has introduced new dangers, necessitating more robust regulatory oversight. A central element of the legislative package is streamlining the procedure for people who wish to stop gambling. The proposed reforms would allow residents to file self-exclusion requests remotely, eliminating the requirement for in-person appearances and making it easier for individuals to restrict their access. Further provisions are designed to enhance security and accountability for betting platforms. Operators would be mandated to implement more rigorous identity verification and adopt systems to monitor for risky betting patterns. Lawmakers assert these protections would aid in spotting early indicators of addiction and stopping it from worsening. The Assembly also tackled gambling advertising. New regulations would bring marketing standards for mobile sportsbooks in line with those for traditional casinos. Specifically, video ads would be required to show a problem gambling helpline number for the entire duration of the advertisement, guaranteeing that help information is constantly visible. New Measures Aim to Boost Treatment Access and Player Awareness Another major component focuses on improving access to treatment. The proposed bill would mandate that commercial health insurance policies include coverage for outpatient gambling addiction services. Officials highlighted that patchy coverage has made treatment unaffordable for many, leaving them to face steep personal expenses or skip care altogether. To foster greater transparency, betting services would also be obliged to provide customers with comprehensive monthly activity statements. These reports would detail information like deposits, withdrawals, and net winnings or losses, offering users a more transparent view of their behavior. Additionally, the package advocates for the establishment of an independent task force to study proposition bets, which are wagers on events not directly related to game results. Authorities raised concerns that these bets might be more susceptible to manipulation, presenting potential risks to consumers and the market's fairness. In a wider push for awareness, the Assembly also took steps to designate March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month in New York. Proponents of the legislation argue that the measures strike a balance between fostering industry growth and safeguarding public health, prioritizing prevention, transparency, and access to support.

Las Vegas Expected to Host Super Bowl Again in 2029 iGame

Las Vegas Expected to Host Super Bowl Again in 2029

(AsiaGameHub) - Las Vegas is moving closer to hosting another Super Bowl, with league owners anticipated to confirm the Nevada city as the location for the 2029 championship game during meetings scheduled for next week. Allegiant Stadium Poised for Second Super Bowl in 2029 Discussions between The National Football League (NFL) and local officials have been ongoing for months, and sources indicate that the final decision is largely a formality. A formal vote is expected at the upcoming gathering in Phoenix, with representatives from the Las Vegas Raiders and city leadership anticipated to be in attendance. If approved, the game will be held at Allegiant Stadium. This would mark the second time the venue hosts the NFL’s premier event in a relatively short period. The stadium, which opened in 2020 after the Raiders relocated from Oakland, has become a prominent site for major sporting and entertainment events. Las Vegas previously hosted the Super Bowl in February 2024, where the Kansas City team achieved a thrilling overtime victory against San Francisco. That event was widely considered a success, attracting hundreds of thousands of attendees and providing a significant boost to the local economy. It is estimated that the influx of fans, media, and corporate partners resulted in substantial spending across hotels, entertainment venues, and transportation services. In addition to football, Allegiant Stadium has already established a strong reputation for hosting high-profile events such as wrestling championships, major concerts, and upcoming collegiate championship games. This growing portfolio of events has strengthened the city's standing as a consistent host for large-scale spectacles. NFL Owners to Review Rule Changes Alongside Super Bowl Plans The NFL typically rotates the Super Bowl among cities that possess modern stadiums and favorable weather conditions. Las Vegas has now joined cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta in this select group. The league had previously suggested a return to the city following the 2024 game, indicating a long-term confidence in the market. While the Super Bowl decision is expected to be a major focus, league owners will also deliberate on a variety of proposals related to game competition. These include potential modifications to kickoff rules and expanded options for teams attempting onside kicks. Discussions are also underway regarding contingency plans for officiating and replay systems in the event of labor disputes among referees. Looking ahead, the Super Bowl schedule is already set for the coming years, with upcoming games slated for California and Georgia before the 2029 event. If the vote confirms Las Vegas as the host city, it would further solidify the city's increasing prominence on the global sports stage and reinforce its reputation as a leading destination for major events.

How to Choose the Right Savings Account for Your Money Goals in Singapore ACN Newswire

How to Choose the Right Savings Account for Your Money Goals in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing where to place your savings in Singapore is an important financial decision that requires careful consideration. With many banks offering different types of accounts, it is easy to get confused. However, picking the right one is the first step to reaching your financial goals, whether you are saving for a dream wedding, a new home, or a retirement fund.The good news is that you no longer need to spend a whole afternoon waiting at a bank branch. You can now open a bank account online in just a few minutes using your phone or computer. Here is a simple guide to help you choose the best account for your needs in 2026.Identify Your Financial HabitsBefore focusing on interest rates, consider how you manage your money on a daily basis. Savings accounts in Singapore usually fall into two categories:The Active Saver: These accounts give you high interest rates, but you have to make a few mandatory transactions each month. Usually, you need to credit your salary and spend a set amount on your credit card.The Passive Saver: These accounts help you earn bonus interest just for keeping your money in the account and letting it grow. You do not need to worry about credit card spending or paying bills.Compare Interest RatesBefore opening a bank account online, make sure you compare the interest rates. Many basic accounts offer low interest rates. To make your money grow, you should look for bonus interest.For example, a high-interest account can offer between 2% and 5% depending on the rules you follow. If you have SGD 50,000, the difference between a basic account and a high-interest one could be hundreds of dollars in extra cash every year. Always check the effective interest rate, which tells you the real amount you will earn after all the levels are counted.Look for Welcome PromotionsBanks in Singapore are always competing for your business. When you open a bank account online, you can often grab a welcome gift, such as cash credits or rewards. These promotions are a great way to get a head start on your savings. Just make sure to check the dates, as many of these flash deals only last for a few months.Check the Fees and MinimumsEven a great account can lose you money if you are not careful about fees. Before you sign up, check for these three things:Minimum balance: Most accounts require maintaining a certain amount of money in the account at all times. If the balance drops below this limit, the bank may charge you a monthly fee.Initial deposit: Some accounts require at least SGD 1,000 to get started.ATM access: Make sure the bank has plenty of ATMs near your home or office so you do not get charged for using the machine of another bank.Open an Account OnlineOnce you have picked the right account, the final step is to fill out your application. In Singapore, you can use Singpass MyInfo to fill out your application automatically.When you open a bank account online, your details, such as your NRIC, address, and income, are pulled directly from the government database, thus reducing paperwork. Most accounts are approved almost instantly, and you can start using your new digital card right away.Final ThoughtsChoosing a savings account is not just about finding the highest interest rate. It is about finding the one that fits how you live. If you are a busy professional who already uses a credit card, an active account is perfect. If you just want to set your money aside and forget it, a passive account is better.By taking 10 minutes to compare your options today, you can ensure that every dollar you earn works as hard as you do.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

(SeaPRwire) - 國務卿馬可·盧比奧於週五抵達法國,出席七國集團(G7)外交部長會議,他將在會上就美國對當前伊朗戰爭的優先事項傳達明確訊息。在會議召開前的幾天裡,其他成員國對這場戰爭採取了明顯不同的方針。幾乎所有華盛頓的夥伴——英國、加拿大、法國、德國、義大利和日本——都對美國和以色列的軍事行動反應謹慎,並拒絕參與進攻性行動,儘管他們也譴責伊朗的行為。在週四出發前,盧比奧為會談定下了對抗性的基調:"我不為法國、德國或日本工作……我感興趣的是讓美國人民高興。我為他們工作,"他在發布於X平台上的一段影片中說道。這種分歧引起了唐納德·川普總統的不滿,他一直敦促盟友做出更多貢獻,特別是在保障荷姆茲海峽等關鍵海上航線安全方面。雖然一些國家已表示願意支持防禦性或海上安全行動,但它們並未參與直接的軍事打擊。"美國不斷被要求提供戰爭援助,而我們也做到了。但當我們有需要時,卻沒有得到北約的積極回應。有幾位領導人說伊朗不是歐洲的戰爭。好吧,烏克蘭也不是我們的戰爭,但我們對那場戰爭的貢獻比任何人都多,"盧比奧補充道。"如果伊朗停止威脅全球航運,荷姆茲海峽明天就可以開放,這是一種暴行,也是對國際法的違反。所有這些關心國際法的國家,都應該對此採取行動,"他在登上前往法國的飛機前說道。這番言論為一場本就因華盛頓與其最親密盟友之間在如何處理伊朗衝突問題上摩擦日益加劇而備受關注的峰會定下了基調。盧比奧以嚴峻的措辭闡明了利害關係。"伊朗與美國的戰爭已經持續了47年……伊朗一直在全球各地殺害美國人、襲擊美國人,"他在白宮內閣會議上表示,並補充說允許德黑蘭獲得核武器將是"對世界不可接受的風險"。但甚至在盧比奧抵達會議之前,歐洲官員就已經表明了截然不同的方針。"我們需要退出戰爭,而不是進一步升級,因為對世界上每個人來說後果都相當嚴重,"歐盟委員會副主席卡亞·卡拉斯週四在G7會議場邊的簡報會上表示。"這只能通過外交途徑解決……坐下來談判,找到出路,"她補充道。盧比奧的論述與卡拉斯傳達的訊息之間的對比,凸顯了塑造此次會議的核心緊張關係。美國官員表示,盧比奧帶著一個超越伊朗議題的更廣泛議程參加會談。據一位以背景方式向 Digital 發言的國務院發言人稱,盧比奧將利用此次會議"推進美國的關鍵利益",並推動關於烏克蘭和中東戰爭、"國際責任分擔"以及G7整體效能的討論。該發言人表示,美國還預計將強調海上安全,包括荷姆茲海峽和紅海的航行自由,同時敦促盟友在衝突地區和國際組織中承擔更大份額的責任。歐洲官員則強調了這場衝突更廣泛的風險。法國外交部長讓-諾埃爾·巴羅表示,G7的討論將基於近期一份譴責伊朗行動的聯合聲明,同時也會處理海上安全擔憂。他說,"討論將提供一個機會,重新審視已在G7層面達成一致的立場……包括伊朗對海灣國家發動的無理攻擊……我們對此予以最強烈的譴責。"巴羅補充說,部長們還將重點關注保障全球航運路線的安全。"我們也將有機會討論海上安全和航行自由……包括一項國際任務……以嚴格防禦的姿態確保海上交通暢通,從而幫助緩解能源價格壓力,"他說。卡拉斯呼應了這種全球性框架。"世界上所有國家都以某種方式受到這場戰爭的影響……停止這場戰爭符合每個人的利益,"她說。她的言論也指出了危機的相互關聯性。"俄羅斯正在情報方面幫助伊朗……現在還用無人機支持伊朗,"她說,將伊朗衝突與烏克蘭戰爭聯繫起來。據路透社報導,這種不確定性已經影響到峰會的結構,官員們放棄了發布統一最終公報的計劃,以避免暴露分歧。分析人士表示,這些分歧反映了聯盟內部更深層次的結構性緊張關係。"歐洲批評了唐納德·川普對伊朗的'極限施壓'策略,同時卻追求一種失敗的外交方式,這種方式使得該政權得以擴張其恐怖主義網絡並更接近核門檻狀態,"亨利·傑克遜學會的高級研究員巴拉克·西納告訴 Digital。"這反映了歐洲在該地區投射力量能力的缺乏,特別是在保衛荷姆茲海峽方面。"西納補充說,多年來對華盛頓的依賴,隨著美國轉變其戰略優先事項,使歐洲日益暴露於風險之中。"多年來在國防方面的投資不足和對美國的依賴,造成了一種依賴性,而華盛頓日益將此視為對其自二戰以來為歐洲保障的和平的背叛,"他說。"隨著美國將其與以色列的關係置於北約之上,結果可能是聯盟的進一步侵蝕、對烏克蘭支持的減少以及歐洲面臨日益增大的經濟壓力。"他警告說,眼前的考驗將在G7會議本身到來。"在如何回應伊朗以及任何美國支援請求問題上的分歧,很可能暴露出更深層次的大西洋兩岸分裂,"西納說。"'史詩狂怒行動'展示了川普總統集結盟友聯盟以消除共同威脅——在此案例中是伊朗政權——並穩定國際貿易的能力,"美國優先政策研究所首席研究官兼美國安全主任雅各布·奧利多特告訴 Digital。"西歐未能參與保障荷姆茲海峽安全尤其令人震驚,因為這些國家比我們更依賴它,"他補充道。"與此同時,'史詩狂怒行動'的歷史性成功喚醒了我們中東夥伴的新信心,以根除來自伊朗政權的威脅,並共同努力塑造一個更和平、更繁榮的地區。"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。

Fujitsu develops high-sensitivity, high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in defense and disaster prevention JCN Newswire

Fujitsu develops high-sensitivity, high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in defense and disaster prevention

KAWASAKI, Japan, Mar 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the development of a world-leading, high-sensitivity and high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in the defense and disaster prevention fields. This sensor is a Type-II superlattice (T2SL) infrared sensor with over 1 million pixels, capable of detecting both mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) light. Its high-sensitivity allows it to clearly capture minute thermal differences of 0.05°C or less, enabling high-precision monitoring day and night. This over 1-megapixel dual-band T2SL infrared sensor is the first of its kind in the world.The newly developed technology boasts dramatically enhanced detection and identification performance, with applications spanning a wide range of fields. For example, when applied to optical sensor systems mounted on satellites or aircraft, it can contribute to the creation of new value across diverse areas, including early assessment of disaster situations and environmental monitoring.Integrating this sensor into monitoring devices for defense and disaster prevention enables accurate detection of thermal changes, such as identifying precursors to human activity or object movement, locating people during disasters, detecting early forest fires, and monitoring tsunamis. This contributes to improving information gathering capabilities and strengthening defense and disaster prevention. Additionally, by visualizing thermal distribution and changes over time with exceptional precision, the sensor is anticipated to play a vital role in tackling societal issues like infrastructure inspection and problems with analytical equipment, while also driving progress in scientific research.This technology was developed under contract as part of the "PROTOTYPE OF WIDE BAND AND HIGH RESPONSIVITY PHOTO-DETECTORS" from Acquisition Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA), Japan Ministry of Defense, to which Fujitsu has completed delivery of the prototype sensor.Starting in fiscal year 2026, Fujitsu plans to leverage the manufacturing technology of this sensor to develop new products and market them for use in monitoring cameras.BackgroundIn the security sector, which underpins a safe and secure society, there is a demand for advanced sensing technologies that can detect various threats early and accurately capture their precursors. However, with the diversification of monitoring scenarios and the increasing complexity of targets, there is a need for even higher resolution sensors and improved identification capabilities through simultaneous detection of multiple wavelengths. The ATLA initiated a research prototype project to establish technology that enables target detection and identification over longer distances and wider areas than existing systems. Fujitsu, which has developed and mass-produced high-sensitivity infrared sensors, was awarded this project and has now successfully completed its development.Overview of the developed sensorInfrared sensors capture infrared radiation spontaneously emitted by objects with heat, visualizing their surface temperature distribution. Fujitsu has leveraged the characteristics of T2SL, a compound semiconductor with a superlattice structure that allows for material property control, to develop a unique dual-band sensor. The superlattice structure, where different semiconductor materials are layered at the nanometer (one billionth of a meter) level, offers high sensitivity, as well as excellent control over detection wavelengths and manufacturability. By selecting a combination of semiconductor materials with a large energy offset in their band structure (i.e., Type-II Superlattice, T2SL), it is possible to detect infrared light, which has lower energy than visible light.This sensor can detect MWIR and LWIR wavelength bands, with high-sensitivity capable of detecting temperature differences of 0.05°C or less. By simultaneously detecting two wavelengths with a single pixel, it can accurately detect and identify targets that would otherwise be obscured by background noise during detection with single-wavelength sensors. Furthermore, by advancing miniaturization of elements through the development of manufacturing processes and mounting technologies suitable for delicate T2SL materials, Fujitsu has achieved high-resolution with over 1 million pixels, enabling the capture of more distant targets.This infrared sensor, simultaneously achieving high-sensitivity, high-resolution, and dual-band detection, is suitable for monitoring applications in defense, disaster prevention, and other fields requiring high discrimination performance.Furthermore, this world-first technology from Fujitsu will drive further advancements in the sensitivity, multi-band and high-resolution capabilities of conventional infrared sensors, enabling a diverse range of product developments.Figure: Dual-band T2SL infrared sensor and example imagesAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

During the Reporting Period, the commercialization of HuaTangNing (dorzagliatin tablets), the Company’s core product – the global first-in-class innovative anti-diabetes medicine, glucokinase activator (GKA) – advanced comprehensively across all fronts, the Company’s independent commercialization team was efficiently and seamlessly established in its first year of operations, the Company’s R&D pipeline continued to be enriched, and the Company’s financial performance achieved a historic breakthrough, successfully entering a new stage of profitability, injecting strong momentum into the innovative development of the global diabetes treatment field.Dr. Li CHEN, Founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, stated: “2025 is a remarkable year in the commercialization operation of Hua Medicine. The Company has successfully advanced from R&D to commercialization driven organization and achieved the fully independent capacity in commercialization of global first in class novel glucose homeostasis regulator HuaTangNing. With strong market execution and product competitiveness, we have achieved nearly triple-digit growth in sales volume and revenue over 2024 when the commercialization was farmed out to sales and marketing partners. At the same time, the Company has made key progress in global market expansion through registration of drozagliatin in Hong Kong and position it toward 700 M population in south-east Asia. We continue to expand the clinical application of glucose homeostasis regulation technology and engage in new indications such as early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and Frailty. The first-in-disease efforts in GCK-MODY and Frailty set the new innovation course of Hua Medicine in the next 5 years.” Business Highlights and Operational Progress- Fully Powered Commercialization, Historic Breakthrough in ProfitabilityOn January 1, 2025, the Company assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing, allowing the company to consolidate both operational and strategic control over market execution in China. The Company successfully built a professional sales team covering 10 sales regions around the country, focusing on marketing, medical affairs and commercial operation. Through an AI-empowered digital commercialization platform, operational efficiency and sales productivity were greatly enhanced, injecting new vitality into the Company’s commercial development.Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. Since its launch in October 2022, HuaTangNing has been prescribed to over 500,000 patients through 3,000+ hospitals, community centers, pharmacies and online channels.Sales performance exceeded expectations, with 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing sold during the reporting period, representing a 91% increase over the fiscal year 2024. This growth was achieved at the same price for both periods, underscoring strong demand and successful execution of Hua’s commercial strategy.In terms of profitability, the Company’s gross profit reached approximately RMB280.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 125%. Thanks to expanded production scale and optimized manufacturing processes, the Company’s gross margin improved to 56.9%, increasing by 8.2 percentage points as compared to 48.7% for the year of 2024. Selling expenses increased only by RMB12.3 million to RMB165.5 million, reflecting a significant positive trend towards profitability when our selling expenses in the 2025 fiscal year represents only 33.6% of revenue, whereas in the 2024 fiscal year, our selling expenses represented approximately 59.9% of revenue. In fiscal year 2025, our commercialization efforts achieved profits of approximately RMB114.9 million (as defined by gross profits less selling expenses). Although we expect to continue to increase personnel to our commercialization team, we expect this profitability trend in our commercial operations in mainland China to continue.Following the termination of the collaboration with Bayer at the end of 2024, dorzagliatin achieved a record-high sales volume. Profit before tax increased to RMB1,106.4 million for the fiscal year 2025. We ended fiscal year 2025 with a cash position of approximately RMB1,092.3 million.- Accelerated Global Layout, Strengthened Core Rights and InterestsThe Company took a key step in global expansion. On February 27, 2026, dorzagliatin (trade name: MYHOMSIS®, was successfully approved for marketing by the Hong Kong regulatory authority. The Company plans to officially launch the product in the Hong Kong market by the middle of 2026 and further expand to Asian regions. In addition, the Company submitted a new drug registration application in Macau in 2025.The Company also made new progress in intellectual property protection. In February 2026, the patent term extension (PTE) application for dorzagliatin was formally approved by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, thereby the core patent protection period of dorzagliatin extended to April 2034 and an additional 5-year market exclusivity obtained, which provides a strong guarantee for the product’s long-term market competition.In 2025, dorzagliatin was recognized as national innovation and an effective therapy for chronic diseases by the regulatory authorities in China. Accordingly, the same NRDL price was offered for the calendar years 2026 and 2027. Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. The Company will continue to safeguard the product’s market competitiveness and patient accessibility and accelerate the popularization of the drug among patients.- Advancement of Real-World Studies, Continuous Validation of Clinical ValueReal-world evidence (RWE) studies continue to corroborate the key role of dorzagliatin in improving glucose-dependent pancreatic islet secretion function, and demonstrate its efficacy in diabetes prevention, remission, and delaying or preventing diabetes complications.The RWE study sponsored by Hua Medicine HMM0701 with 380 T2D patients was fully enrolled in 2025. The interim analysis, as reported at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA), showed that 86% of such patients were taking two or more antidiabetic drugs and 41% of such patients were using insulin. After a 6-month treatment, a significant improvement of glycemic control was observed with HbA1c reduction from 8.1% to 7.3% with the mean time-in-range (TIR) levels increasing to over 70%. Thus far, the studies have demonstrated that when dorzagliatin is administered in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, such patients have experienced significantly improved post-meal glucose levels and improved β-cell function.Separately, a mechanistic study with dorzagliatin (employing double-tracer measurement) was conducted in the United States to provide scientific evidence of hepatic glycogen formation in T2D patients with an average of 17 years of diagnosed diabetes. In this study, patients were treated with dorzagliatin twice daily for 6 weeks. The results showed that dorzagliatin increased direct glucose flux to hepatic glycogen implying the improvement of restoration of hepatic Glucokinase (GK) function. Together with the clinical research data that dorzagliatin improves early phase insulin release and GLP-1 secretion, recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients offers an important path in controlling post-meal glucose excursion and provides a unique opportunity in controlling diabetes complications, such as diabetes kidney diseases and mild cognition impairment.The RWE sponsored by Hua Medicine (HMM0601) has completed clinical trials with over 2,000 subjects, with average diabetes duration of 7.9 years and above 30% having disease duration more than 10 years. The initial results suggest that dorzagliatin is safe and well tolerated in Chinese T2DM patients. There were no new adverse effects observed in the study and the incident rate remains as low as what was observed in Phase III clinical trials. Patient adherence was generally high, with a mean adherence rate of approximately 95%. In this study, 80% of the participants have used one or more oral anti-diabetes medicine, and 20% used insulin. Dorzagliatin demonstrated good efficacy and safety not only in the overall population but also in elderly, obese, and hyperglycemic patient populations, whether used as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin, and other medications. The topline results will be reported at the 2026 American Diabetes Association.- Deepened Clinical R&D, Continuous Expansion of New IndicationsNew Indication for Dorzagliatin – MODY-2 Patients.Medical experts in mainland China and Hong Kong have conducted independent clinical and preclinical studies of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 treatment. MODY-2, also called GCK-MODY, is a monogenic disease in which patients have a genetic defect of glucokinase gene (GCK) which results in elevated blood glucose and significant reduction of the second phase insulin secretion. The population of GCK-MODY patients is approximately 1.7 million in China. These patients are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and represent an unmet medical need given that currently available medications are not effective. In clinical studies with MODY-2 patients, China investigators have reported that dorzagliatin is effective in reducing blood glucose levels to normal levels in MODY-2 patients who previously failed to manage their elevated blood glucose levels when treated with metformin, TZD, DPP-IV inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors. Additional results demonstrated that a single dose of dorzagliatin improved overall glucose sensitivity and second phase insulin secretion significantly in GCK-MODY patients, suggesting a unique mechanism of action of dorzagliatin to regulate GLP-1 secretion. Based on such results, Hua Medicine has communicated and reached a consensus with the CDE at NMPA to file the IND submission of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 patients in 2026.Dorzagliatin for Diabetes Prevention.Prevention of diabetes is an important focus at Hua Medicine. There are approximately 1.12 billion people living with prediabetes worldwide. We have initiated SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong in pre-diabetic (IGT) subjects and in early diabetes patients. These studies represent first-in-disease studies. In this double-blinded placebo-controlled study, we will evaluate the blood glucose management and pancreatic function under IVGTT and OGTT conditions to better define the clinical treatment baseline and endpoints. We expect to complete this study in 2026 and explore the opportunity to file IND applications of dorzagliatin for diabetes prevention in China and Asian Pacific regions thereafter. Dorzagliatin for Neurodegenerative Diseases.MCI shows approximately 15.5% prevalence among elderly people in China and approximately 22% in the US, and is common in T2D patients with a 45% incidence rate. The development of dorzagliatin for neurodegenerative disease is a new focus in our drug discovery efforts. Through the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and Mendelian Randomization (MR) study, we have realized the important role of GCK gene activation in the prevention of memory loss and cognitive impairment in humans. It has also come to our attention that post-meal glucose excursion is closely related to Alzheimer disease and dementia. The bio-energy balance in the brain is largely dependent on the glucose homeostasis control in the peripheral organ and the neural network communication in the central and peripheral system via spatial temporal management. Impaired glucose homeostasis and diabetes conditions result in a reduction of glucose transporter expression and insulin receptor expression in the brain, which can be prevented by low dose dorzagliatin. We have realized the potential of dorzagliatin in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and will initiate these first-in-disease clinical studies in the future.Dorzagliatin for Frailty.Frailty is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by reduced tolerance to internal and external stressors. Approximately 17% of Americans and 11% of Asians over the age of 50 suffer from frailty, while pre-frailty affects roughly 50% and 47% of these populations, respectively. It is not a single-organ disease, but the consequence of dysregulated multisystem homeostasis. Genetic evidence supports the causal effects of glucokinase (GK) activation on lowering frailty risk. We plan to initiate clinical studies in the future to advance dorzagliatin’s application in frailty.Development of combination therapy for diabetes and complications.Dorzagliatin rescues pancreatic function in glucose insulin secretion and GLP-1 secretion, as evidenced by clinical and basic research results. It also improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic insulin resistance through recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients. The combination of dorzagliatin with DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists have demonstrated effective regulation of lipid metabolism. Studies in combination with anticancer PI3K inhibitors have also offered unique benefits for glucose homeostasis management.- Diversified Product Pipeline, Innovative Layout for Future GrowthHua Medicine continues to enrich its pipeline layout based on core products. The Company has accelerated the R&D of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dorzagliatin and metformin as a twice-daily therapy for Type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone, to further improve patient medication compliance. The product is supported by the strong results of the loose-dose combination in both Phase III clinical trials and real-world use. The Company has submitted an IND application to NMPA, and the GMP commercial manufacturing process has been successfully carried out, preparing for the pivotal bioequivalence study for NDA filing in 2027. Clinical studies have shown that the combination of dorzagliatin and metformin can better control blood glucose, reduce postprandial blood glucose and improve fasting blood glucose, providing new clinical value for optimizing blood glucose homeostasis endpoints.We have advanced our 2nd generation GKA as a once daily therapy for patients with obesity, leveraging dorzagliatin effects in improved glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion in the pancreas and in the intestine. The MAD study of the 2nd generation GKA was initiated in the United States with first-patient-in in December 2025, and we expect to report topline data by the middle of 2026.Meanwhile, the Company is also exploring combination therapy regimens of dorzagliatin with GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors and other drugs. In a recently published clinical trial in China, researchers reported the superior benefits of our dorzagliatin in combination with semaglutide as compared to semaglutide alone in a 12-week study. The combination group showed superior results across several key measures, including glycemic control, bodyweight related indicators and β-cell function.Financial Summary- Revenue generated by the Company was approximately RMB 492.9 million from the sale of approximately 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing, increases of approximately 93% and 91% respectively, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Gross profit generated by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately RMB280.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 125%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, and gross margins rose to 56.9%.- Profit before tax increased by approximately 542% to approximately RMB1,106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,092.3 million as of December 31, 2025.- Expenditures incurred by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approximately RMB433.4 million.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine's and its products' future expectations, plans and prospects.

The medical-record entry and generation products powered by the medical large model delivered a 10-fold YoY increase in full-annual medical record generation at a single campus of a leading Class III hospital. The commercial insurance AI agent platform recorded a 37-fold YoY increase in case processing volume. In deep cooperation with a leading insurance group, the expense control rate was effectively raised to approximately 20%, delivering more than $145 million in incremental cost management compared with traditional review methods, comprehensively empowering insurance institutions to refine their medical risk management operations.Continued R&D Investment Strengthens the Technology MoatTo consolidate its industry-leading position, the Company continued to invest heavily in R&D in 2025. Full-year R&D expenses exceeded $55.09 million, accounting for 75% of the Company's adjusted operating expenses, while R&D personnel accounted for 69% of the total workforce. This sustained investment drove breakthroughs across multiple technology areas. For example, in the MedBench 4.0 evaluation, the Company ranked first place in three technical paradigms: "Medical AI Agent," "Medical Large Language Model," and "Medical Multimodal Large Model," earning a "Triple Crown."Outlook: Deepening the Technological Foundation and Expanding Application BoundariesLooking ahead, Unisound will continue to deepen its "Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application" strategy. On the technological front, the Company will continue to increase strategic investment in foundational large models and strive to maintain a world-class level. On the application front, it will use the large-scale expansion of MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) and AI agents as its core growth engine, driving exponential growth in its AI in Daily Life and AI in Healthcare businesses. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the establishment of a recurring revenue system through models such as API calls and Token-based billing, and regards opportunities in consumer-facing (C-end) products as a second growth curve to further expand its commercialization boundaries.Between Q2 and Q3 2026, Unisound will launch a native AI agent large model for programming and office applications, which is expected to double both intelligence density and token production efficiency.

Mississippi’s Online Sports Betting Efforts Remain Stalled for Third Consecutive Year iGame

Mississippi’s Online Sports Betting Efforts Remain Stalled for Third Consecutive Year

(AsiaGameHub) - Discussions in Mississippi over legalizing online sports betting have once again hit an impasse. For the third year in a row, the Mississippi House has passed bills to introduce mobile wagering in the Magnolia State, only to see the Senate block them as usual. Though most observers believe Mississippi online sports betting is inevitable, any legislation faces major hurdles. Supporters Contend That Online Betting Is Already Occurring Legislators in the House contend that mobile betting is already occurring in Mississippi via unlicensed offshore sites that provide no benefit to the state's economy. Advocates for legalization further argue that oversight is needed to guarantee proper safeguards for consumers and help Mississippi align with other states. Representative Casey Eure, the sponsor of this year's legislation, emphasized the tangible advantages of legalization. He said that regulated platforms would create a safe marketplace and increase state income. Eure's initial bill permitted casinos to collaborate with several online partners, whereas his alternative measure limited such partnerships while proposing to reduce casino taxes from 8% to 6%. Financial benefits served as a primary justification for legalization. Advocates said the additional revenue could bolster the state's Public Employees' Retirement System and fund other public initiatives. They reasoned that since online sports betting is already widespread, the state should collect those tax revenues and allocate them wisely. Opposition from Current Casinos Stays Firm Even with efforts to address concerns, opposition is still strong. Numerous senators regard the existing casino industry as a vital economic engine for the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River region. These establishments create thousands of employment opportunities, making legislators wary of changing the current system. Additionally, local casinos wield considerable political clout and resist ceding ground to out-of-state competitors. Senator David Blount, chair of the Senate Gaming Committee, continues to be a vocal opponent. He insists that mobile betting would erode the fundamental business model sustaining casino profitability. He worries that if individuals can wager from home, they'll have no incentive to visit physical casinos. The proposal also vied for attention with pension reform, education tax credits, and other fiscal issues, relegating it to a lower priority. We permit gambling in this state to generate employment, stimulate investment, and boost tourism. Mobile sports betting creates zero jobs. Senator David Blount At the same time, the divide between Mississippi and neighboring states keeps growing. Other jurisdictions are testing various regulatory frameworks. Some have broadened online access to multiple types of gambling, while others have tightened restrictions on unlicensed operators. Mississippi's current laws, by contrast, originate from 2018, when on-site casino wagering was considered a prudent initial move. This article is provided by a third-party.

在HelloNation中,Pagosa Springs房地產專家Mike Heraty討論選擇牧場物業的關鍵因素 Business

在HelloNation中,Pagosa Springs房地產專家Mike Heraty討論選擇牧場物業的關鍵因素

(SeaPRwire) - 科羅拉多州帕戈薩斯普林斯, 2026年3月25日 — 除了單純的面積和風景之外,什麼才是成功購買牧場的真正關鍵?《HelloNation》一篇文章透過土地表現、功能性與長期可用性的角度探討此問題。文中,來自Engel & Völkers Pagosa Springs的地產專家Mike Heraty分享了買家如何更有效地評估科羅拉多州西南部牧場物業的洞見。 文章指出,儘管面積往往是首要關注點,但單憑面積並不能決定價值。在科羅拉多州西南部,聖胡安山脈的壯麗景色固然動人,但具生產力的牧場物業取決於土地在不同季節的表現。文章鼓勵買家跳脫面積限制,專注於可用性、永續性及與長期目標的契合度。 評估牧場物業時,水資源取得被強調為最關鍵的因素。可靠的水源(如溪流、泉水、灌溉溝渠或水井)能支撐牲畜、野生動物及土地的長期健康。文章特別強調理解水權的重要性,指出水權直接影響水資源的使用與保護方式。若缺乏可靠的水資源取得及明確的水權界定,即使廣大的土地也可能難以有效運作。 土壤品質是另一項關鍵要素。文章解釋,土壤品質會影響牧草生產、侵蝕風險及土地整體恢復力。在聖胡安山脈周邊地區,土壤深度與排水狀況可能差異極大。觀察現有的草類與植被能幫助買家了解土地長期以來的表現。健康的植被生長往往象徵水分平衡與妥善的土地管理。 坡度與地形同樣塑造了土地的可用性。起伏的地形通常更利於放牧與牲畜活動,而陡峭的坡地可能僅提供景觀價值卻缺乏實用性。靠近杜蘭戈(Durango)的狼溪滑雪場(Wolf Creek Ski Area)或煉獄度假村(Purgatory Resort)的牧場物業,常因海拔變化影響積雪與徑流。評估坡度能幫助買家理解圍籬需求、設備進出及水流模式。 全年通行性是文章討論的另一項重點。許多牧場物業依賴私人道路、通行權或季節性維護。文章建議買家確認全年通行性,並釐清維護責任歸屬。通行性影響日常運作、緊急服務及長期可用性,尤其在冬季更為重要。 對許多買家而言,交通便利性也扮演關鍵角色。文章提到,帕戈薩斯普林斯的史蒂文斯機場(Stevens Field)可容納私人飛機(包括中小型商務噴射機),常被牧場業主及分時產權計畫使用。儘管帕戈薩斯普林斯的史蒂文斯機場不提供商業航班服務,但杜蘭戈-拉普拉塔縣機場(Durango-La Plata County Airport)提供額外交通連結,支持經常出差的業主。 棲地多樣性同時促進土地健康與野生動物保護。樹木、灌木叢與自然覆蓋物能保護牲畜免受天候影響並提升放牧效率。對保育或休閒有興趣的買家被建議評估棲地分布狀況,以及其如何支持科羅拉多州西南部常見的野生動物活動模式。 現有設施需仔細檢視。圍籬、畜欄、穀倉與進出點會影響牧場物業的即時使用性。在「山景現代住宅」與牧場環境結合的地區,文章指出住宅建築應兼顧舒適性與農業用途。設計精良的山景現代住宅能將現代設計與實用布局融合,配合日常牧場運作。 公用設施與基礎建設的重要性往往超出買家預期。水井、污水系統與電力供應影響全年功能性。在更偏遠地區可能需要離網解決方案,因此規劃至關重要。可靠的基礎建設支持穩定使用並降低長期成本。 文章總結,選擇科羅拉多州西南部合適的牧場物業需要平衡美景與實用性。當買家評估面積、土壤品質、坡度、水權及全年通行性,並結合地點與生活型態目標時,更可能找到同時支撐景觀與自身願景的土地。 這篇名為《如何選擇合適的牧場物業》的文章,收錄了科羅拉多州帕戈薩斯普林斯地產專家Mike Heraty於《HelloNation》中的洞見。 關於HelloNationHelloNation是首屈一指的媒體平台,連結讀者與各行各業值得信賴的專業人士及企業。透過融合教育內容與說故事的創新「教育廣告(edvertising)」模式,HelloNation提供由專家主導的文章,啟發並賦能讀者。涵蓋從居家裝修、健康到商業策略與生活型態等主題,HelloNation聚焦在社區中產生深遠影響的領導者。 消息來源:HelloNation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。

Analysts Forecast Coexistence for Prediction Markets and Conventional Sportsbooks iGame

Analysts Forecast Coexistence for Prediction Markets and Conventional Sportsbooks

(AsiaGameHub) - Prediction markets are gaining traction, capturing considerable attention in the betting space. Analysts think these emerging platforms won’t present immediate challenges to traditional sportsbooks, since regulated operators such as DraftKings and FanDuel keep holding onto their core customer base. That said, while casual bettors are mostly uninterested, seasoned players are exploring new possibilities. Prediction Markets Offer Unique Advantages For professional bettors, moving to prediction markets comes with several key advantages. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket let users act as the house instead of the customer. Rather than betting against fixed odds, knowledgeable bettors can set prices, handle risk, and make money from the activity of less-experienced traders. High-volume bettors can also get around stricter betting limits on traditional apps, potentially boosting their total earned revenue and capital turnover. A recent webinar led by Citizens analyst Jordan Bender explored how prediction platforms disrupt established industry dynamics. Isaac Rose-Berman, a very experienced bettor, explained that even a brief streak of success could lead to restrictions, smaller bet limits, and fewer chances to expand strategies that used to work. Prediction markets typically lack such constraints. A trader can use substantial capital, influence the market, and weather short-term setbacks. The structure rewards those who understand pricing and timing, even though it carries added risk. However, analysts caution that the broader shift is not as significant as most players are content to stick with familiar offerings. Major Sportsbooks Likely to Remain Relatively Unimpacted Younger demographics are increasingly drawn to prediction markets. According to Canzhi Ye, co-founder of PY Research, attracting younger users could bring significant long-term financial benefits. While they often spend less than other groups, platforms that retain their attention could see rising revenues in the future as these individuals’ disposable income grows. Although download trends for major sportsbook apps have softened in recent months, broader data points to coexistence rather than disruption. Sportsbooks maintain their advantage through their extensive market presence, well-known brands, and established relationships with professional sports organizations. They also boast far greater accessibility, making them more popular with casual users. The prediction market sector could also narrow significantly. While dozens of platforms are now vying for market share, experts argue that consolidation is inevitable. Such a development would mirror how the U.S. sportsbook industry eventually centered around several high-profile operators. Citizens analysts also expect established betting companies to leverage their resources and expand into prediction-style offerings, displacing smaller competitors.
