Dr.Friend Puppy, Exhibits at Global Pet Show, Targeting Overseas Markets

Seoul, Korea – August 14, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) -The premium sleep and healthcare brand Dr.Friend’s pet sleep care product, Dr.Friend Puppy (owned by World Home Doctor Corp.), will be actively targeting overseas markets from the second half of the year. Dr.Friend Puppy will participate in the SUPER ZOO in Las Vegas, USA from August 14-16 to actively promote Dr.Friend’s unique sleep & healthcare technology. SUPER ZOO is one of the most established and prestigious pet industry trade shows in North America. It has been held since 1950, and it is considered the largest pet industry show in North America. It continues to be one of the most productive and vibrant shows yearly. Following CES2024 in January and IHS2024 in March, Dr.Friend Puppy will participate in Super Zoo to introduce its unique pet sleep care technology and pet humanization philosophy to pet industry stakeholders around the world. In particular, Dr.Friend Puppy is a pet-specific sleep care product that incorporates Dr.Friend’s sleep care technology, such as grounding technology and natural material technology. This has the advantage of harmonizing the natural characteristics of pets that are healthiest when they are in nature with the characteristics of their living environment. Dr.Friend’s core natural functional material technologies, such as charcoal wool with antibacterial properties and natural wool, are optimally proportioned to enhance pet sleep care without using chemicals such as memory foam, so pets can feel comfortable and stable sleeping environments every day. In addition, a water-repellent technology that coats a thin film on top of the fabric tissue is also applied to prevent contaminants that may occur due to the nature of the pet’s living environment from penetrating the surface of the fabric, making it more hygienic and convenient to use. By compensating for the disadvantage of sharing the same living environment as the owner, such as an apartment, pet grounding allows pets to get enough natural interaction in the comfort of their home. Dr.Friend will highlight various uniqueness and differentiation of Dr.Friend Puppy, such as realizing the value of pet humanization to ultimately maintain health, prevent various diseases, and reduce medical costs. “Dr.Friend’s grounding and natural material technology continues to gain scientific credibility through anti-inflammatory and stress relief studies that we have been conducting since 2018,” said Kim Ji Youn, CEO of Dr.Friend, who is participating in the exhibition. “In particular, the stress relief effect paper published in Biomedicines, an SCI-level journal, is showing high interest among animal healthcare professionals such as US veterinarians.” She also said, “As we are currently discussing clinical trials with domestic and foreign medical organizations to help improve pets’ health, we will actively promote the advantages of our sleep care technology and healthcare principles to expand cooperation opportunities with various buyers and partners.” After the Super Zoo exhibition, Dr.Friend Puppy will also participate in Pet Fair Asia, August 21-25 in Shanghai, China, expanding its growth strategy to the Asia Pacific region. Pet Fair Asia is Asia’s largest international pet products exhibition, and along with the Super Zoo, it is one of the world’s largest and most influential pet shows. This year’s event will be the largest since its inception in 1997, and Dr.Friend will present its authentic sleep &healthcare value and technology to more than 100,000 buyers and visitors, exploring opportunities to expand sales and establish strategic partnerships. About Dr. Friend Dr. Friend is a sleep care functional bedding brand that combines ergonomic functions and premium materials.

Cựu đại sứ Mỹ ‘bi quan’ về tương lai của Ukraine

(SeaPRwire) -   Cựu đại sứ tại Nga John Sullivan tin rằng bế tắc ở Ukraine là điều tốt nhất mà phương Tây có thể hy vọng trong tương lai gần Mối quan hệ tồi tệ giữa phương Tây và Nga không có khả năng cải thiện trong tương lai gần và Washington không có phương tiện hiệu quả nào để “ép buộc” Moscow theo ý muốn của mình, đặc biệt là vấn đề Ukraine, cựu đại sứ của Washington tại Nga, John Sullivan, đã tuyên bố. Trong một cuộc phỏng vấn với tạp chí Foreign Policy, được công bố vào thứ Ba, Sullivan tuyên bố rằng chính phủ của Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin là một “chính phủ cực kỳ khó khăn để đối phó” do phong cách đàm phán của họ, mà ông tuyên bố là dựa trên những yêu cầu “tối đa”. “Nếu có điều gì đó chúng tôi có thể làm để gây áp lực lên Nga để họ khuất phục trước ý muốn của chúng tôi, chúng tôi đã làm điều đó đối với Ukraine. Bây giờ chúng tôi sẽ đe dọa họ bằng gì? Chúng tôi đã đánh [Putin] bằng rất nhiều gậy về Ukraine. Nếu tôi có thể đưa ra những cây gậy tốt hơn, chúng tôi đã sử dụng chúng ở Ukraine ngay bây giờ,” Sullivan tuyên bố, dường như ám chỉ các lệnh trừng phạt mà Mỹ và các đồng minh đã áp đặt lên Nga kể từ khi bùng phát chiến sự giữa Moscow và Kiev. Ông nói rằng ông dự đoán rằng “Putin sẽ không thỏa hiệp về Ukraine” bất kể các quốc gia NATO làm gì trong những nỗ lực thuyết phục ông ta, bởi vì “không phải bản chất của ông ta là thỏa hiệp về những vấn đề quá cơ bản đối với ông ta với tư cách là một cá nhân và quan niệm của ông ta về nước Nga.” Cựu nhà ngoại giao đưa ra một số kịch bản tiềm năng để giải quyết xung đột, chẳng hạn như “ngừng bắn mà không nhượng bộ hoặc công nhận bất kỳ lãnh thổ nào là của Nga” hoặc một “chương trình hỗ trợ quy mô lớn cho Ukraine thông qua một chương trình cho vay mới kiểu cho vay-cho thuê.”  Tuy nhiên, ông lưu ý rằng “tất cả phụ thuộc vào một đối tác ở Điện Kremlin sẵn sàng đàm phán,” và “Putin sẽ không làm điều đó.” “Tôi bi quan về tương lai ở Ukraine bởi vì không bên nào vào lúc này đang muốn đàm phán. Cho đến nay, người Ukraine không thể đẩy người Nga ra khỏi lãnh thổ Ukraine mà họ kiểm soát. Nhưng mặt khác, người Nga đã không thể tiến hành bất kỳ cuộc tấn công lớn nào để chiếm thêm lãnh thổ của Ukraine. Vì vậy, bế tắc là điều tốt nhất mà chúng ta có thể hy vọng trong tương lai gần,” ông kết luận. Sullivan đã làm đại sứ tại Nga từ năm 2019 cho đến khi ông rời Moscow vào tháng 9 năm 2022. Trước khi trở về Mỹ, chỉ sáu tháng sau khi xung đột Ukraine nổ ra, Sullivan thừa nhận rằng mối quan hệ giữa Moscow và Washington đã rơi vào mức thấp nhất mọi thời đại.  Moscow đã nhiều lần nói rằng một trong những mục tiêu chính của chiến dịch quân sự chống lại Kiev là đảm bảo an ninh của Nga trước mối đe dọa từ việc mở rộng NATO về phía biên giới của nước này. Một mục tiêu khác, họ cho biết, là để bảo vệ người dân Nga sinh sống ở các vùng lãnh thổ Ukraine trước đây khỏi sự đàn áp của lực lượng Kiev, điều này bắt đầu sau cuộc đảo chính Maidan ở Kiev vào năm 2014. Moscow cũng nhấn mạnh rằng họ sẵn sàng giải quyết xung đột bằng con đường ngoại giao, mặc dù theo các điều khoản của họ. Ngoại trưởng Nga Sergei Lavrov cho biết vào cuối tháng 7 rằng bất chấp lập trường của phương Tây về xung đột Ukraine và các lệnh trừng phạt mà họ áp đặt lên Moscow trong hai năm qua, Nga vẫn sẵn sàng đối thoại và hợp tác với các nước phương Tây, bao gồm cả các vấn đề an ninh. Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

"Today, we're not just launching a new tool; we're setting a new standard for sustainable business and investing," added Marco Koeder, Chief Marketing Officer.

“LEQEMBI” (Lecanemab) Approved for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease in the United Arab Emirates

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug 14, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the Ministry of Health and Prevention in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has approved humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody “LEQEMBI®” (lecanemab) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Treatment with LEQEMBI should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD), the population in which treatment was initiated in clinical trials.LEQEMBI selectively binds to soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils*), as well as insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils) which are a major 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 in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Israel, and is being marketed in the U.S., Japan, and China.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) In the UAE, it is reported that 4.09% of those over 60 years old have dementia.(3) AD is considered the most common cause of dementia, typically accounting for 60-70% of cases.(4)Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. Biogen will commercialize LEQEMBI in the UAE.* 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.(5) Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.(6) About lecanemab (LEQEMBI®)Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).LEQEMBI’s FDA approval was based on Phase 3 data from Eisai’s, global Clarity AD clinical trial, in which it met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with statistically significant results.1,2 The primary endpoint was the global cognitive and functional scale, Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). In the Clarity AD clinical trial, treatment with LEQEMBI reduced clinical decline on CDR-SB by 27% at 18 months compared to placebo. The mean CDR-SB score at baseline was approximately 3.2 in both groups. The adjusted least-squares mean change from baseline at 18 months was 1.21 with LEQEMBI and 1.66 with placebo (difference, −0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.67 to −0.23; P<0.001). In addition, the secondary endpoint from the AD Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Scale for Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS-MCI-ADL), which measures information provided by people caring for patients with AD, noted a statistically significant benefit of 37% compared to placebo. The adjusted mean change from baseline at 18 months in the ADCS-MCI-ADL score was −3.5 in the LEQEMBI group and −5.5 in the placebo group (difference, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.8; P<0.001). The ADCS MCI-ADL assesses the ability of patients to function independently, including being able to dress, feed themselves and participate in community activities. The most common adverse events (>10%) in the LEQEMBI group were infusion reactions, ARIA-H (combined cerebral microhemorrhages, cerebral macrohemorrhages, and superficial siderosis), ARIA-E (edema/effusion), headache, and fall.LEQEMBI is approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong and Israel for the treatment of MCI due to AD and mild AD dementia. Eisai has also submitted applications for approval of LEQEMBI in 11 countries and regions. A supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for intravenous maintenance dosing was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2024, which was accepted in June 2024. The rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for maintenance dosing of a subcutaneous injection formulation, which is being developed to enhance convenience for patients, was initiated in the U.S. under Fast Track status in May 2024.Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen.

Moscow sẽ tiếp tục ủng hộ việc thành lập một Palestine độc lập – Putin

(SeaPRwire) -   Lãnh đạo Nga đã có cuộc hội đàm với Chủ tịch Ủy ban Palestine Mahmoud Abbas, người đang ở Moscow trong chuyến thăm chính thức Moscow ủng hộ việc giải quyết hòa bình tất cả các cuộc xung đột, bao gồm cả những cuộc xung đột ở Trung Đông, Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin tuyên bố vào thứ Ba trong cuộc gặp với Chủ tịch Ủy ban Palestine Mahmoud Abbas. Putin ca ngợi mối quan hệ “lâu đời, sâu sắc của Nga với thế giới Ả Rập, và đặc biệt là với Palestine,” đồng thời nói thêm rằng điều đó gây ra “sự lo ngại lớn rằng một thảm họa nhân đạo đang xảy ra ở Palestine ngay lúc này.” Những lời bình luận được đưa ra sau khi Abbas đến Moscow trong chuyến thăm chính thức kéo dài ba ngày. Theo nhà lãnh đạo Nga, gốc rễ của cuộc xung đột Gaza có từ rất lâu và là kết quả của việc các nghị quyết quốc tế bị bỏ qua liên quan đến việc thành lập và tạo ra một quốc gia Palestine độc lập. “Để thiết lập hòa bình lâu dài, đáng tin cậy trong khu vực, cần phải thực hiện tất cả các nghị quyết của Liên hợp quốc, trước hết là phải thành lập một Nhà nước Palestine độc lập,” Putin nhấn mạnh. “Chúng tôi đã duy trì lập trường này trong một thời gian dài và nó đã không thay đổi theo những thay đổi của môi trường chính trị.”  Tổng thống Nga cho biết tình hình ở Gaza đang “gây lo ngại lớn” do thương vong hàng loạt trong dân thường, chủ yếu là phụ nữ và trẻ em. Theo Liên Hợp Quốc, số người chết đã gần 40.000 người, ông lưu ý. “Chúng tôi làm mọi điều có thể để hỗ trợ người dân Palestine. Như bạn biết, chúng tôi đã gửi khoảng 700 tấn viện trợ nhân đạo,” Putin kết luận. Abbas cảm ơn chính phủ và người dân Nga, nói rằng: “Chúng tôi cảm thấy rằng Nga là một trong những người bạn thân nhất của người dân Palestine.”  Ông chỉ ra rằng kể từ năm 1947, hơn 1.000 nghị quyết đã được Đại hội đồng và Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hợp Quốc thông qua. “Chỉ có một nghị quyết, nếu được thực hiện, có thể đã giúp người dân Palestine đảm bảo quyền lợi của họ,” Abbas nói, đồng thời cho biết thêm rằng “tuy nhiên, do áp lực từ Hoa Kỳ, nhiệm vụ này đã thất bại.”  Các quốc gia phương Tây ủng hộ nhà nước Palestine đã ủng hộ Ủy ban Palestine, được quốc tế coi là đại diện của người dân Palestine, nhưng là đối thủ của Hamas và chỉ kiểm soát một phần Bờ Tây. Hiện nay, Nhà nước Palestine được 146 thành viên Liên Hợp Quốc và một nửa số thành viên G20 công nhận, bao gồm Trung Quốc, Ấn Độ, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, Nam Phi và Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ. Thủ tướng Israel Benjamin Netanyahu đã tuyên bố sẽ không cho phép thành lập một nhà nước Palestine hoạt động đầy đủ. Tuy nhiên, chính quyền Israel đã chứng kiến sự sụt giảm hỗ trợ từ phương Tây do số người chết ngày càng tăng trong cuộc xâm lược gần đây vào Gaza.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Phỏng vấn của Trump với Elon Musk bị tấn công DDoS quy mô lớn: CẬP NHẬT TRỰC TIẾP

(SeaPRwire) -   Chủ sở hữu của X đã hứa hẹn một cuộc trò chuyện “rất giải trí” với cựu tổng thống Mỹ Cựu Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và tỷ phú công nghệ Elon Musk đã có một cuộc phỏng vấn tự do trên nền tảng X của Musk vào thứ Hai. Ba tháng trước cuộc bầu cử tổng thống Mỹ, chiến dịch tranh cử của Trump đã quảng cáo cuộc nói chuyện này là “cuộc phỏng vấn của thế kỷ.” “Cuộc trò chuyện trực tiếp” với Trump sẽ “không có kịch bản và không có giới hạn về chủ đề,” Musk viết trên X vào Chủ nhật, đồng thời cho biết thêm rằng nó “nên rất giải trí” và khuyến khích người dùng đăng câu hỏi và bình luận. Vài giờ trước cuộc phỏng vấn, Trump đã trở lại X và đăng một loạt video quảng bá chiến dịch của chính mình và tấn công phó tổng thống Mỹ và ứng cử viên của đảng Dân chủ Kamala Harris. Trump đã bị cấm khỏi X (khi đó được biết đến với cái tên Twitter) vào năm 2021 bởi ban quản lý trước đây của nền tảng này, và kể từ khi được Musk khôi phục vào năm 2022, ông chỉ chia sẻ duy nhất một bài đăng - một bức ảnh về bản khai báo của mình sau khi bị bắt ở Georgia vào năm ngoái. Cuộc phỏng vấn đã thu hút sự chú ý đáng kể, đặc biệt là từ những người phản đối Trump và Musk. Trong một lá thư gửi Musk trước đó vào thứ Hai, Ủy viên EU Thierry Breton đã cảnh báo rằng X có thể bị điều tra và phạt nếu cái gọi là “nội dung có hại” được lan truyền trên nền tảng này trong cuộc trò chuyện phát trực tiếp.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.
