'Siblings of the Exceptional’: Empowering Siblings of the Special Needs Children And Creating Lasting Impact

Siblings of the Exceptional

'Siblings of the Exceptional,' an organization dedicated to supporting siblings of special needs children, is making a significant difference in the community. Founded by Reema Patel, a 14-year-old American girl and rising sophomore, the organization focuses on raising awareness, providing resources and fostering inclusion for siblings of individuals with Cerebral Palsy and other special needs as well as their families. By emphasizing the organization’s goals and achievements it brings positive changes to the community and showcases the collective effort in supporting siblings of special needs. This approach allows them to promote a cause and create awareness about siblings of special needs within the community. According to recent statistical data by WHO, an estimated 1.3 billion people - or 16% of the global population worldwide - experience a significant disability today. People with disabilities have the right to the highest attainable standard of health as those without disabilities. However, the WHO Global report on health equity for people with disabilities demonstrates that while some progress has been made in recent years, the world is far from realizing this right for many people with disabilities, because they continue to die earlier, have worse health, and experience more limitations in everyday functioning than others. These poor health outcomes are due to unfair conditions faced by people with disabilities in all facets of life, including the health system in many countries. Countries have an obligation under international human rights law to address the health inequities faced by people with disabilities. Furthermore, the Sustainable Development Goals and global health priorities will not progress without ensuring health for all. Recognizing the significance of these numbers and the impact on families, Reema took it upon herself to provide a platform for siblings of these exceptional children to connect, share experiences, and find solace in a nurturing community. Through the efforts of 'Siblings of the Exceptional,' strides are being made to address these statistics, improve the lives of special needs children as well as their siblings and promote a more inclusive society. The Initiative to Bond special needs with Their Siblings ‘Siblings of the Exceptional' also focuses on fostering a special bond among special needs children and their siblings. Recognizing the importance of these relationships, the organization arranges events and programs that promote a stronger bond between the children with special needs and their siblings. By doing so, they create a supportive and inclusive environment for special needs and their families. The latest event took place on June 24th, 2023 in Pune, India where a generous amount of resources were donated by Reema Patel to the Buddy Center institute which is an initiative by Kunashini. The esteemed chief Guest, Dr Archana Kadam, praised Reema Patel's extraordinary efforts and offered valuable insights on raising awareness about Cerebral palsy and special needs. The event served as a platform to foster a sense of community and create lasting memories. Fundraising Efforts To date, 'Siblings of the Exceptional' has successfully raised approximately US $9,740. These funds have been instrumental in supporting numerous NGOs in India that work tirelessly to meet the basic needs of special needs children, providing them with vital resources, therapies, and a nurturing environment. This highlights the impact and effectiveness of the organization's fundraising efforts. The World too can join the Cause of 'Siblings of the exceptional". The dynamic Reema Patel passionately appeals to individuals, organizations, and a wider community to support the noble causes of 'Siblings of the Exceptional.' Donations and fundraising efforts play a pivotal role in enabling the provision of essential resources and services to special needs children in need. By contributing to the cause, you can make a tangible difference in their lives.

American Businesses Want Secure Borders and a Modernized Immigration System to Help Address Worker Shortages

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/cyDh_POE9fg There might as well be a giant “Help Wanted!” sign over the United States. The economy has bounced back from the pandemic lows, but companies have been struggling to meet their workforce needs to keep up with the surge in demand for everything from household products to cars. At the same time, the crisis level situation on our southern border is not abating, as the U.S. Border Patrol has seen 133,000 more border crossings through April of this fiscal year than during the same period of time in last year’s record-shattering totals. The U.S. currently has approximately 10.1 million job openings, while there are 6 million people unemployed and looking for work. The worker shortfall has also emerged as a key factor driving persistent inflation and higher interest rates. Securing our borders and modernizing our immigration system can help us confront these challenges. Many people wonder given the seriousness of these issues and the polarization in Congress if any real progress can be achieved on border security and immigration reform? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce believes not only that it can be done, but that it must be done. The immigration challenges we face today didn’t arrive at our doorstep overnight; they’ve been around for decades and have only grown in size and severity due to many years of congressional inaction. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is leading the LIBERTY Campaign (Legal Immigration and Border Enforcement Reform This Year) with over 430 national, state, and local business associations. The campaign launched with a letter calling upon Congress to address the crisis at our border and the critical workforce shortage before the year’s end. Many experts believe that expanding legal immigration to the U.S. would help spawn economic output by driving much needed labor force growth at a time when America’s population growth is stagnating. A nationwide media tour was conducted on June 20 th featuring Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, discussing why Congress cannot afford to wait any longer to secure our borders and modernize our broken immigration system. Topics that Neil Bradley from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce discussed included: How serious our border and legal immigration problems are. What the consequences will be if Congress foregoes fixing the problems on our borders and within our legal immigration system. How a modern, pro-growth immigration system will help address the chronic workforce issues plaguing many American employers today and other economic problems we’re suffering from. Why the Chamber launched the LIBERTY Campaign with over 430 other associations. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Pancreatic Cancer Trials & New Treatments Receiving Increased Funding as Incidences of Cancer Grows

STORM Partners

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary - Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death globally. The increasing incidence of this cancer across the U.S. and other parts of the world is one of the factors driving the need for the drugs used in the treatment. The increase in the geriatric population is one factor driving the pancreatic cancer treatment market growth. The incidence is significantly higher in the geriatric population above 65 years of age compared to other types of cancers. The increase in the number of patients suffering from the condition has increased the demand for the drugs used in treatment. A report from Fortune Business Insights said that this factor will be driving the growth for the next several years. The report projected that the global pancreatic cancer treatment market size was valued at USD 2.48 billion in 2022 and will grow to USD 6.85 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 15.7% during the forecast period. The report continued: “Companies engaged in manufacturing cancer drugs have increased their focus on R&D activities to develop new drugs for pancreatic cancer treatment. Additionally, the companies operating in the market have received approval from several regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) (U.K.), among others, thereby propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, new testing technologies are being adopted by hospitals and diagnostic centers to diagnose cancer. The increase in the diagnosis rates is driving the demand for drugs, thereby providing opportunities for the players.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech ® Inc. (ONCY – ONC.TSX), Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ: SHC), Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: CNTA), Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), Gilead Company (NASDAQ: GILD). Fortune Business Insights continued: “Shifting the focus of key players in extensive R&D activities to develop new drugs and an increase in funding for cancer research led to the development of new drugs for treatment. Additionally, several pharmaceutical companies are involved in clinical trials to develop new drugs and explore the potential of the molecule to treat the disease. It concluded: “Thus, with the increased funding for R&D activities, companies are focused on developing new drugs, thereby contributing to the overall rise in demand for drugs for pancreatic type of cancer treatment through 2029.” Oncolytics Biotech ® Inc. (ONCY - ONC) BREAKING NEWS: Oncolytics Biotech’s® Pelareorep Selected for Inclusion in Precision PromiseSM Pivotal Phase 3 Platform Trial – Adaptive clinical trial designed to accelerate registration pathways for pancreatic cancer therapies and expected to reduce cost of a Phase 3 study for pelareorep by ~50% compared to a traditional trial If successful, new clinical study expected to support approval of pelareorep in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel in first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer Data presented at SITC 2022 showed a near tripling of overall response rate for pelareorep + gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel + a PD-L1 inhibitor compared to historical control trials Oncolytics Biotech ® (trading on the NASDAQ under the Symbol ONCY and the TSX exchange under ONC) today announced pelareorep has been selected for inclusion as a new investigational treatment in Precision PromiseSM, an innovative adaptive Phase 3 clinical trial. The Precision Promise study is designed to evaluate pelareorep in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor and the chemotherapeutic agents gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. If successful, the clinical study is expected to support approval of the studied combination as a treatment for first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Precision Promise has a primary endpoint of overall survival and can include multiple investigational treatments as well as control arms evaluating: (1) gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel or (2) mFOLFIRINOX. Each investigational therapy is subject to pre-specified interim analyses prior to proceeding to the registrational portion of the trial. This design, which was developed with guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, minimizes the number of participants needed to generate licensure-enabling data, thereby accelerating late-stage development by up to two years and reducing costs compared to non-platform trials. “We are delighted at being selected by the Precision Promise panel of experts,” said Dr. Matt Coffey, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics Biotech. “Our next step is to engage with stakeholders to finalize the protocol for Precision Promise’s pelareorep-containing investigational treatment so that we can enter into this study. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to leverage Precision Promise, which we expect will allow us to reduce the time and costs needed to reach a potential approval.” Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA, President and CEO of PanCAN commented, “With a five-year survival rate of 12%, pancreatic cancer patients cannot afford to wait for new treatment options. This urgent unmet need was the driving inspiration behind the Precision Promise platform trial, which was designed specifically to identify, accelerate, and de-risk the development of promising pancreatic cancer treatments. We are thrilled to be bringing pelareorep into Precision Promise as a new investigational therapy to study against the current standard of care.” Dr. Thomas Heineman, Chief Medical Officer of Oncolytics Biotech, commented, “Prior trials in pancreatic cancer show pelareorep-based combinations outperforming historical controls on key metrics such as one and two-year survival and objective response rate. In addition, mechanistic data from these studies highlight how pelareorep’s immunologic mechanism of action allows it to synergize with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibition in this indication. I look forward to working with the Precision Promise team of investigators to seek to confirm the therapeutic value of pelareorep in a randomized setting so that we can potentially provide pancreatic cancer patients with a new treatment option.” CONTINUED …Read this full press release and more news for ONCY at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-oncy/ Other recent breast cancer developments in the biotech industry of note include: Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ: SHC) recently announced that the opt-in process for the January 2023 settlements of ethylene oxide claims against Sterigenics in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois is complete and Sterigenics has elected to proceed with the settlements. 879 of the 882 claimants eligible to participate in the settlement program have opted in.

TalkMarkets Announces Company Spotlight Featuring Evogene

TalkMarkets on EVGN

TalkMarkets.com announces a company spotlight series featuring Evogene (NASDAQ: EVGN ), an agri-tech (agricultural technology) and bio-tech company with a computational predictive biological platform technology that it leverages to five relatively early-stage subsidiaries: three of which have reached the commercialization phase. Today's article is titled, “ Evogene - A Company With Valuable Assets Trading At Zero Enterprise Value.” Key Highlights include: Trading at cash: The company's market cap is around $30 million, trading at around cash levels since mid-2022, following a very sharp 90%+ fall from its peak of around $9.50 in February 2021. The subsidiaries have real value, as evidenced by external investments from professional VC funds: investment into subsidiaries, suggest that Evogene's subsidiaries, Biomica and Lavie Bio, are each worth well more, than the market valuation of Evogene itself. Casterra, a subsidiary focused on genetically advanced castor seeds for oil production, has the highest potential for significant value creation in the short-term and just announced a large $9 million initial purchase order from a major oil company for seeds for growing biofuel. Evogene's technology platform, the Computational Predictive Biology platform (CPB), has significant value due to the company's extensive investment in research and development over two decades, and partnerships with leading ag-companies. The conservative valuation of Evogene and its subsidiaries, along with its technology, suggests a value well above $224 million, or over $5 per share, indicating a potential upside of over 6X. Recent positive developments, such as sales of Casterra seeds and investments in subsidiaries, indicate increasing cash flow for Evogene, reducing the risk of capital depletion.
