Eyesight Technologies partners with GloboConnect to bring AI-driven safety to Oil & Gas Fleets – Geektime

August 21st, 2020 11:58 am

In the commercial fleet world, driver safety is above all, and it becomes even more crucial when a semi-trailer is hauling a couple of tons of dangerous or hazardous materials cross country. As weve witnessed in the past, the potential spills caused by the Oil & Gas industry fleets can cause immense environmental damage, if or when a mistake is made. Just the threat of a catastrophic oil spill hitting the news is poised to doom public opinion against the trucking company and supplier. Further highlighting the necessity for hazardous material drivers to stay alert and safe on the road, creating a potential problem that demands an innovative solution.

Israeli company Eyesight Technologies, which leverages AI and computer-vision technologies for a safe driving experience, announced that its partnering with French fleet management conglomerate GloboConnect, a leading provider of telematics systems for fleets.

"The partnership is a major part of our effort and investment to improve road safety," said Yannick GUIDEZ CEO of GloboConnect. "The addition of Eyesight Technologies' driver monitoring solution to our telematics capabilities enables us to extend our driver safety solutions to include monitoring inside the cabin, allowing our customers to ensure better driving practices and the safer transport of dangerous goods in the oil and gas trucking industry."

The joint venture will focus efforts towards developing a driver monitoring telematics device, tailored for the Oil & Gas industrys fleets. The device will combine Eyesight Technologies' computer vision and AI-based driver monitoring system (DMS) along with Globo's telematics infrastructure and hardware to improve road safety for an estimated 50,000 vehicles in oil & gas fleets.

"This partnership is another meaningful step towards creating safer driving environments in the fleet industry," said David Tolub, CEO of Eyesight Technologies. "An aftermarket DMS solution is a valuable addition to existing telematics offerings, increasing the safety and efficiency of fleets."

Heads or Tails – – The choice is up to you – – – Heads – Part #2 – GoErie.com

August 21st, 2020 11:58 am

Many of the animals, birds, and insects that are part of the Natural World have unique and useful uses and features related to their heads. This article covers a few of these which might explain such things as why a Dog tilt their heads when they hear a sound, and the Owl and the Praying Mantis are the only predators that have a special bone structure that is quite useful for them.

Now that I have covered Tails in article #1 let's move to the other half of our discussion on some of the unique features found in animals, birds, and insects in the natural world.

Just seeing a Dragonfly must be terrifying if you are a gnat, mosquito, or other small bugs. To us, humans, they are unique insects that are mostly quite nice to see. The eyes of a dragonfly take up 90% of its head. Their eyesight is the key to its hunting, and flying skills allow them to have a 95% success rate when hunting. They use this sight to judge the speed and trajectory of the target prey and adjust their flight to intercept the prey and snag it from the air.

The Common Mole's nose, found at the pointed end of its head, is the only part of its body it is not uncomfortable with. Despite devastating blindness and inadequate tactile sensitivity, the moles excel at finding food sources. Scientists have found that except for a few species of dogs such as the Bloodhound, which can tell the direction a smell comes from and follow it, the common mole may be the only animal with what is known as natural stereo smelling ability.

Look around, and maybe you can turn your head to the left or right and move it up and down with ease. You can also move your eyes around in many different directions, and a few of us can even cross our eyes. In the animal world, there are loads of various kinds of eyes that see the world in distinctive ways. Owls cannot move their eyeballs around in their sockets very well. Yet they do have particularly good night vision. Their eyes are positioned on the front of their heads like many of their fellow predators. They have what is thought of as binocular vision.

While Owls might not be able to move their eyeballs, they more this makeup for this by turning their heads up to 270 degrees to the right or left. That is more than twice what we humans can do. The owls have what is called a pivot joint in their bone structure that allows this broad range of movement. There is only one other predator that can do this. It is the Praying Mantis.

What is magnetite? It is a naturally occurring mineral that reacts to magnetic fields. Scientists believe that many animals may have small amounts of it in their brains, allowing them to sense the magnetic fields produced by the earth. However, Dolphins and some whales have magnetic rocks in their heads. Bats and birds (especially pigeons) can navigate vast distances without any clues as to where they are other than the presence and shape of the magnetic fields, which they sense using the magnetite in their brains. Dolphins and many species of whalecan navigate enormous miles of open ocean by using these same, but larger, rocks of this substance within their brains. They are navigating by the magnetic fields they have used during their entire life. They may even think they are in the open and deep waters but can be dangerously close to the shore.

Have you ever noticed that many species of Birds head-bob when they are walking? The term head-bobbing is used for the apparent back and forth movement of their head as they walk and is a bit of a misnomer. The birds do not bob their heads, ---instead, they move their body forward and leave their head behind. They then thrust their head forward past their body. This crazy behavior is thought to help critical aspects of their vision during their forward movement.

If you happen to see a deer bobbing its head, it is not like a bird. A deer's pupils are not like humans; instead, they are more oval and oriented horizontally to give them a wider field of view. We humans can see about a 120-degree range of vision. Having their eyes on the side of their head plus having the oblong pupils, a deer has close to a 300 degrees range. While this gives them a wider angle of vision, it does impact their vertical sight. That is one reason hunters sometimes use a tree stand. Because of this vertical limit, they bob their head to improve their vertical vision.

When you are out on Presque Isle, I am willing to bet that many of my readers think they see an eagle flying overhead. Well, most times, you have spotted a turkey vulture and not an eagle. While looking somewhat like an eagle, they have a genuine bald head while the eagle has white feathers. At close range, they resemble the wild turkey, hence their name. They are the only scavenger bird that cannot kill their prey. This is because their feet are like chickens and not an eagle's or a hawk's. Instead, they have a powerful beak that can tear through even the most robust cowhide. They also have an extraordinary sense of smell that allows them to locate a dead animal from over a mile away.

Monkeys use faces like name tags. They all boast the most colorful faces in the mammal kingdom, and they are not just for show. Like humans, they distinguish friend or foe by facial features, which have evolved to be uniquely distinctive in their close-knit communities.

Why do dogs tilt their heads when they hear sounds. The human ear is engineered to pick up a sound so efficiently that you do not need to turn toward the sound to capture it. That is not so with a dog. Dogs have flaps that partially or entirely cover the ear canal and serve as a barrier to sound. Luckily, the canine ear flap is moveable so the dog can easily make the necessary adjustment and tilt its head toward the sound.

Rabbit ears have a unique shape. Yes, they are long. However, they also have a curve that turns them into satellite dishes place upon a bunny's head. Their shape helps catch and amplify all sounds. Because rabbits are prey species, they must continuously monitor for small sounds that may show a predator is near. They also need to know where the sound is coming from. The length and their ability to move, turn and tilt their ears give rabbits a directional location of the sound. They also use their ears to signal other rabbits. People who have rabbits often tell that rabbits "waggle" their ears at their humans to get interaction from them.

In ending, I know there are many more different and interesting facts about animals, and I may in the future gather in some others and post here on Goerie.com.

See you on the park!!

Bronx son survived gunshot wound to head, but recovery took its toll, and his life – WPIX 11 New York

August 21st, 2020 11:58 am

QUEENS A Bronx mother, who watched her only son rally from a gunshot wound to the head on July 4, 2019, mourned his loss outside the Queens rehab center where he spent the final months of his life.

He lived this for 13 months, Nicole Backmon said of her son Sammy, 21, outside the Park Terrace Care Center in Corona, Queens. He was a warrior.

Sammy Backmon was one face of gun violence in a city where most victims dont make headlines.

At age 20, he suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was hit by a bullet while coming home to the family apartment on Hull Avenue in the Bronx; he was celebrating the Fourth of July holiday.

He was walking home from the train and shots were fired, his uncle, Alex Rodriguez, said, and he got hit in the back of the head.

Sammy Backmon spent weeks in the intensive care unit at St. Barnabas Hospital, where he suffered brain damage that affected his speech, memory, mobility and eyesight.

The vision was really, really bad, Sammys uncle recalled. He couldnt see anything, except for a blurry silhouette.

But the family said Sammy Backmon improved remarkably after spending two months at Burke Rehab in White Plains. He was later transferred to the facility in Queens that accepted Medicaid payments.

His vision gradually got much better.

In February, wearing a helmet on his damaged skull, family cell phone videos showed physical therapists helping Sammy Backmon to start walking again.

He was almost walking independently, his mother said.

But the young man was having recurring issues with blood clots and circulation.

He made it through the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in new York without getting sick, but it did have an impact on his general health.

When COVID hit, PT really slowed down, Sammys uncle recalled. He started gaining weight, he wasnt moving, his circulation wasnt good.

Surgery to put a steel plate in Sammy Backmons head was repeatedly delayed.

On June 26, Sammy Backmon enjoyed a reunion with his extended family, dining outdoors in the Bronx after a visit to a medical clinic there.

His uncle took videos, joking it was Quarantine Friday, while one of Sammy Backmons little cousins ran around the table.

In late July, Sammy Backmon finally underwent the surgery to put the plate in his head where a piece of his skull used to be.

The family said it was a success.

But on August 10, Nicole Backmon got a call she wasnt prepared for.

Sammy Backmon, her only son, was dead at 21.

They think he had a seizure, Nicole Backmon said.

Sammy Backmons death certificate said he died of complications from a gunshot wound. His family wants an autopsy performed, and theyve started a GoFundMe page to defray funeral expenses.

His mother wants the public to know he endured a lot during the months he spent in a long-term care facility.

My son suffered in silence, Nicole Backmon said. He didnt tell me everything.

Bird deaths from wind turbine’s drop when one blade is painted black – PoliticalLore.com

August 21st, 2020 11:57 am

The problem of mass death of birds from a wind turbine could be resolved through painting one blade black. That makes it easier for birds to avoid a deadly encounter, say the findings published in Ecology and Evolution.

The recent study found that painting one of the four white blades on a wind turbine black significantly decreases the number of dead birds by 72 per cent.

In fact, wind farms would kill twice as many bats as they do birds, the figures would be: 111 333 birds per turbine per year, and 222 666 bats per turbine/year, according to Mark Duchamp, head of Save the Eagles International.

According to the researchers from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research conducted a trial on the remote island of Smola comparing how many birds were killed by four painted turbine compared to their untouched neighbours.

During seven and half years, the researchers regularly scoured the bottom of the turbines with specially trained sniffer dogs to identify any bird carcasses. The difference between periods when one of the four blades was painted black was impressive.

For the eight turbines included in the research four painted and four left bare a total of 1,275 searches were conducted between 2006 and 2016.

A total of 82 carcasses were found and statistical analysis revealed the birds which benefit the most from the pained blades are raptors and large soaring birds.

This includes eagles and vultures, who have been high-profile casualties of wind turbines. No white-tailed eagle carcasses were recorded after painting the blades.

The study also found that while the number of dead birds dropped at painted turbines, it did not trigger a spike in the number of casualties at neighbouring turbine zones. As the scientists suggest, the reason painting a single blade works is due to a phenomenon called motion smear.

This means that, although birds often have exceptional eyesight, the rotating blades appear invisible. Birds have extremely high-resolution eyesight in their peripheral field of vision, and the front-facing eyesight is not as good.

Thus, within assumed open airspace, birds may therefore not always perceive obstructions ahead thereby enhancing the risk of collision, the study says.

To Win, Decide Which Fear You Can Live With – Forbes

August 21st, 2020 11:57 am

Author and Motivational Speaker, Chad Foster

Chad Fosters life took a detour when he went blind in his late teens. Now hes an executive at Red Hat, the worlds largest open source software company, an author, and a motivational keynote speaker. His memoir, Blind Ambition (published by HarperCollins Leadership), will publish in early 2021.

I had the opportunity to interview Chad recently. Here are some of the highlights of that interview:

Jill Griffin: Take us back to when you lost your sight

Chad Foster: I was studying at the University of Tennessee when my eyesight really began fading. I was diagnosed at three-years-old with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eye condition, and doctors told my parents Id eventually go blind.

For me, it was really just an intellectual concept, because I played sports, drove a car, and other things people take for granted. I thought maybe Id be an outlier, but my eyesight started failing in college. Going blind changed the course of my life. It was a pretty dark time, but the fire inside of me didnt flame out.

Griffin: It must have been a challenging period. What was your response?

Foster: It was dreadful. Beyond the striking emotional challenges, I was a visual learner, which wasnt useful as a blind guy. So I changed my major from pre-medicine to business. My mom read all of my business books to tape, I recorded the lectures, and I listened to the books and lectures multiple times. It turned out I was a better blind student than sighted student. I made straight A's and the Deans List, and upon graduation moved to Atlanta to work for Anderson Consulting (currently Accenture). I was terrified my support system was gone, I didn't know Atlanta, I was working in an industry requiring significant travel. Ultimately, I had to decide which fear I could live with. The fear of failing, or the fear of not knowing my potential.

Griffin: So you became more comfortable with the fear?

Foster: I learned to get comfortable with discomfort. When I was in college, my well-intended parents built a basement for me, just in case I didn't make it in the world. I started thinking of it as the loser basement, and vowed to never spend a day there. If we let others control our expectations for ourselves, whether that be our well-meaning parents or society, where will we end up? We need to live life based on our own vision of greatness.

Griffin: Andersen Consulting is a prestigious Fortune 500 company. What do you think made them seek you out?

Foster: Outstanding companies look for intelligence, drive and a willingness to try. When I explained my journey during the interview, any doubts about my determination were extinguished. In tech its easy to find a developer, but skills have a short shelf life because what will technologies look like in ten years? Whats important is finding people who are smart, naturally curious, and determined. The landscape changes so quickly that hiring for skills is less durable than hiring for traits.

Griffin: Tell me about the software you developed that Oracle said was impossible?

Foster: I taught myself to engineer my own software, and I got so good at it that people would seek me out. One day a colleague called. They had a customer with a blind employee who couldnt do his job because of a problem between their customer relationship management software and screen-reading software.-

So, I said, Yeah, I'll talk to the client, and then I started doing what I always do, which is dig for a solution.

A year or two later, I got an email asking for help with Siebel, and I responded casually saying, I've done this before.

So, we all hopped on a call me, the prospective client and their technical account manager from Oracle, the vendor of the screen-reading software, and my former client and they said, Weve talked to Oracle and the maker of the screen-reading technology and, it's not possible. And then my client said, Actually, Chad's already done it, and I've been using the technology for the last two years. Oracle started sending me clients after that.

Griffin: You were the first blind graduate of the Harvard Business Schools Program for Leadership Development. What did you learn there?

Foster: There are no black and white answers in the world of leadership. Weve got to think about and manage shades of grey. We explored the nuances of real-world business cases and observed them from many different vantage points. I learned a lot from the faculty, as well as my fellow executive classmates.

Griffin: Youre publishing your first book. Can you tell me about that?

Foster: Blind Ambition is a memoir, because the best way for people to digest the lessons Ive learned is to hear the stories from my life. Fundamentally, we all become the stories that we tell ourselves. Its about how I learned resilience by attending the school of hard knocks, being able to distinguish whats inside my sphere of influence, such as my ability to use a computer, write code, and get on stage and deliver an inspirational keynote without notes, and learning how to accept and even embrace things that are outside my sphere.

If you tell yourself youre a victim, that's how youll be. If you tell yourself I've got this, I'm owning this blindness thing, and Ill make it look good, then that's how youll be. And its a self-fulfilling prophecy, because we all become the stories playing in our minds. We can choose to move our mindset from victim to visionary.

We have to be prepared to reinvent ourselves. My blindness came in terrible wrapping paper, but its a gift that enables me to help others in a way thats not otherwise possible.

Griffin: What are some of the major themes that you touch on in your workshops?

Foster: The number one pillar is dealing with change. When going blind, I had to deal with the loss of my self-identity. I never aspired to grow up and be a blind guy, so I had to create a vision of greatness that included my blindness. All of us have faced the question what do you want to be when you grow up? No one said, I want to be a blind guy. But when life changes, we have to figure out how to visualize success. Now, I provide a framework for building resilience. Creating some space to be mindful and intentional about that allows us to respond to challenges more effectively. Coupled with strategy, effort, determination and a plan, its a winning formula.

Griffin: What inspired you to give motivational keynotes in front of thousands of people?

Foster: My tipping point was giving the graduation speech at Harvard. I had a feeling Id be elected so, being a Type-A personality, I met with a professional speaker and prepared my talk before we even voted. When I was elected, I delivered a very moving keynote. One classmate was so moved that he decided to commission an opera inspired by my story. Several others shared how Id inspired them as they faced traumatic situations. I was also moved a feeling of electricity coursed through my body, and I knew I was doing the right thing. At that point I saw how powerfully I could help others if I were to be intentional about it.

American Society of Clinical Oncology Exclusively Cites myChoice CDx in New Recommendations for Patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancer – BioSpace

August 21st, 2020 11:55 am

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a global leader in molecular diagnostics and precision medicine, announced today that the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has exclusively included Myriads myChoice CDx test in its new recommendations on the use of PARP inhibitors for the treatment and management of certain patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The new recommendations, based on clinical trial results, were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

The guideline, titled PARP Inhibitors in the Management of Ovarian Cancer: ASCO Guideline, where myChoice CDx was the only named commercial companion diagnostic, states that women with ovarian cancer and germline or somatic mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes and/or genomic instability as determined by Myriad myChoice CDx are recommended by ASCO for PARP inhibitor therapy. The guideline includes myChoice CDx guided management in both newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer.

We are thrilled to be a part of the rapidly changing landscape in guiding treatment for patients with ovarian cancer. The new ASCO guidelines highlight the large number of recent studies that have gone into improving ovarian cancer patient outcomes, said Thomas Slavin, M.D., FACMG, DABCC, senior vice president of Medical Affairs for Myriad Oncology.

According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. In the United States, it is estimated there will be 21,750 new cases diagnosed and around 13,940 deaths in 2020. A woman's risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about one in 78 and the chance of dying from ovarian cancer is about one in 108.

About Myriad myChoice CDx Myriad's myChoice CDx is the most comprehensive homologous recombination deficiency test, enabling physicians to identify patients with tumors that have lost the ability to repair double-stranded DNA breaks, resulting in increased susceptibility to DNA-damaging drugs such as platinum drugs or PARP inhibitors.

New Study from the Broad Finds PRS is Critical Component to Predicting a Range of Diseases – Clinical OMICs News

August 21st, 2020 11:55 am

Scientists at the Broad Institute have discovered that it isnt enough just to test for mutations to find coronary artery disease, breast cancer or colorectal cancerinstead, its also critical to test for the many small changes across the genome to produce polygenic risk scores (PRS).

The findings are presented in a new study, published Aug. 20 in Nature Communications, and led by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital, and by San Francisco-based genetic testing company, Color.

Amit Khera, M.D., associate director of the Broad Institutes Program in Medical and Population Genetics and leader of a research group within the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and senior author on the study, said he will soon begin offering patients testing based on the findings.

Khera is working with a team of geneticists and genetic counselors in the hospitals Preventive Genomics Clinic to offer a clinical test developed by Color that assesses both monogenic and polygenic risk for heart disease.

This research has real clinical implications for genome interpretation, Khera said. Weve found that the traditional approach of only looking for monogenic risk variants misses an important part of the picture. A persons polygenic risk also plays a crucial role in predicting the development of disease. I suspect that evaluating both will soon become standard in clinical practice.

For the study, researchers focused on breast cancer, coronary artery disease, and colorectal cancer because each disease is associated with what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a tier 1 genomic condition, meaning there are specific genetic mutations associated with higher risk for developing the condition, according to researchers.

The relationship between the mutations that cause these three genomic conditions and the risk of developing each disease is relatively well understood, authors of the study said. But until now, few researchers have investigated how the interplay between these monogenic variants and someones polygenic risk affects the likelihood of developing disease.

For the study, researchers reviewed genetic information from 80,928 individuals who either participated in case-controlled Color or U.K. Biobank studies, to find the presence of monogenic variants and a patients polygenic risk. The risk score was determined to significantly affect the likelihood of developing a disease associated with a tier 1 genomic condition.

Think about a monogenic variant as a brick, said Julian Homburger, a Color data scientist and co-first author of the paper. A polygenic risk score, then, is like stacking sheets of paper. You can still get to the same sizein this case, the likelihood of developing a diseaseits just a different mechanism. And, what we show is that if you have both of these, they stack on top of each other and contribute to an even greater risk.

Alicia Zhou, CSO at Color and co-author of the paper said the next logical step after testing patients is to monitor them closely, with earlier and more frequent screening. The current approach to screening for genomic conditions is fairly crude, she said. With better information about the risk of genomic diseases, we can refine screening and treatment for people, and hopefully improve patient outcomes.

OpGen Announces CE-IVD Marking and Commercial Launch in Europe of its Own Developed Molecular Diagnostic SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB for Detection of the…

August 21st, 2020 11:54 am

- Own developed SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB for COVID-19 uses real-time PCR (RT-PCR) technology on open PCR platforms, designed to provide results in approximately one hour

- 100% Sensitivity and 97.3% Specificity demonstrated in isolated RNA

- Inclusion of PCR-Compatible Universal Lysis Buffer (PULB) in the kit as a workflow option allows labs to circumvent the need for extraction equipment and reagents

GAITHERSBURG, Md., and HOLZGERLINGEN, Germany, Aug. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OpGen, Inc., Inc. (Nasdaq: OPGN, OpGen), a precision medicine company harnessing the power of molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics to help combat infectious disease, announced today that its subsidiary Curetis GmbH has obtained the CE mark certification in the European Union for its own SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Developed and manufactured by Curetis team in Germany, the SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB uses real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology for qualitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus isolated from oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider or for screening of asymptomatic individuals. This kit can be used with RNA isolated by performing standard RNA isolation processes, as well as with oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swabs collected in PCR compatible viral transport medium treated with PCR-Compatible Universal Lysis Buffer (PULB) provided in the kit. Including PULB in the kit as a workflow option allows labs to circumvent the need for extraction equipment and extraction kits/reagents, thereby providing operational and workflow efficiencies, time and cost savings. The kit is designed to provide time to results in approximately one hour, and it runs on open real-time PCR instruments such as the QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System and the Bio-Rad CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System.

The CE-IVD Marking is an important step in advancing our efforts to support critical COVID-19 testing; the Curetis SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB provides additional testing capacity in countries that recognize the CE Mark to test patients, said Johannes Bacher, COO of OpGen.

By launching this new product in Europe, we are committed to helping our distributors and customers to expand the availability of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing, and our own-developed CE-IVD marked SARS-CoV-2 Kit with PULB is expected to help increase availability of these much-needed tests," said Oliver Schacht, PhD, CEO of OpGen. Our customers will benefit from an optimized workflow and a test that delivers great performance and significantly shorter time-to-result at favorable economics compared to many of the commercially available open PCR platform COVID-19 tests including the BGI SARS-CoV-2 kit. Having access to our own SARS-CoV-2 kit allows us to have that product distributed rather than the BGI test kit which we will cease distributing effective immediately.

About OpGen, Inc.OpGen, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD, USA) is a precision medicine company harnessing the power of molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics to help combat infectious disease. Along with subsidiaries, Curetis GmbH and Ares Genetics GmbH, we are developing and commercializing molecular microbiology solutions helping to guide clinicians with more rapid and actionable information about life threatening infections to improve patient outcomes, and decrease the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant microorganisms, or MDROs.

Organigram Joins Medical Cannabis by Shoppers Inc. and TruTrace in Effort to Track Source and Genetics of Cannabis Used by Medical Patients – Business…

August 20th, 2020 6:57 am

MONCTON, New Brunswick--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc. (the Company or Organigram), a leading licensed producer of cannabis, is pleased to announce it has partnered with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers(Shoppers) on Phase 2 of Shoppers Pilot Program powered by software partner TruTrace Technologies Inc. (CSE: TTT; OTCQB: TTTSF) (TruTrace).

The program is designed to genetically finger-print all participating cannabis products, tracking them throughout the supply chain, from genome to patient, in order to provide real-time information about the composition of each cannabis product used by Medical Cannabis by Shoppers customers.Organigram will provide cannabis products to Shoppers for use in the tracking program.

Standardized and validated testing of medical cannabis, ensuring consistent quality and efficacy, are critical to the products value as a viable treatment option. Likewise, product information such as strain composition and potency can help healthcare practitioners and patients make more informed and confident decisions about their medical cannabis treatment regimens.

Organigram is proud of our long-standing commitment to our medical cannabis community. From the development of innovative products to the support offered by our patient care team and programs, patients and their needs are at the heart of our medical cannabis business, says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. We also recognize how critical consistency is to patients and their healthcare providers so are pleased to partner with Shoppers, providing our products so that they can be followed from raw material to finished product, to offer them important, useable product insights.

Using Trutraces StrainSecure system, the program collects plant testing data and performs genomic verification in plant batches which are then registered in a blockchain-enabled database for intellectual property protection and strain validation. All information gathered from the plants, including their molecular and chemical makeup, can be tracked via the technology.

As jurisdictions around the world have begun to legalize and adopt cannabis as a medical treatment, there has been an influx ofnew breeders and growers and a profusion of new cannabis strains, each with a different representation of at least 500 known metabolites. Subtle changes in the chemical expression of various strains, whether by genetic structure or environmental conditions, may have significant clinical effects on the patients using this treatment option.With so many strains available, and with relatively limitedinformationon strain composition or genetic lineage and their relation to their chemical output, patients havelittleability to control what they aretaking over time.

In the absence of assigned drug identification numbers (DIN)for cannabis products, quantifying the genetics and metabolomics, as well as potency and equivalencies ofcannabis products is of interest to producers, distributors, shippers, government agencies, payers, clinicians and patients.

Maintaining an effective traceability ecosystem about these details throughout the supply chain is a component of providing consistent medicine, says Engel.

Using TruTrace technology, Shoppers has partnered with University Health Network in Toronto (UHN) to launch Medical Cannabis Real World Evidence (MCRWE), a new ground-breaking study on cannabis and health which will track outcomes with TruTrace validated product for the first time in history.

This novel observational study is targeting a minimum of 2,000 patients who will be followed over a 24-week period. Enrolled patients will have access to certain fully verified products on the Medical Cannabis by Shoppers platform, which have been tested for detailed cannabinoid and terpene profiles.More information about the study can be found here.

Will Rice College O-Week moves online after two advisors test positive for COVID-19 – The Rice Thresher

August 20th, 2020 6:57 am

Photo Courtesy Jeff Fitlow

By Rishab Ramapriyan 8/18/20 9:18pm

On Tuesday, Will Rice College announced that the remainder of Orientation Week activities will be conducted fully online. The announcement came after a second Will Rice O-Week advisor tested positive for COVID-19 this morning.

According to the Dean of Undergraduates Bridget Gorman, this decision was not mandated by the Rice University administration, but rather reached locally by the Will Rice magisters and O-Week coordinator team. In their email to the Will Rice advising team and new student cohort, the coordinators said that this decision was made out of an abundance of caution.

We take this action to minimize the risk to your own health and to limit further spread of the virus, the coordinators wrote.

Advisors and new students living on-campus are restricted to their floors as mandated campus-wide, but they are still able to use outdoor spaces, according to Rahul Popat, the Will Rice College President. As long as students follow the guidelines set by the Culture of Care Agreement, they are free to exit their rooms.

Vice President of Administration Kevin Kirby, who chairs the Crisis Management Advisory Committee, said that Rices team of 17 contact tracers promptly responded to both Will Rice cases. Any individuals who met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for close contact (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) were quarantined and tested using a molecular test (polymerase chain reaction test). A few additional advisors who believed that they had been in contact with the COVID-19-positive students voluntarily quarantined themselves, according to Kirby. All of the quarantined students have tested negative and there have been no additional cases in the Will Rice community as of this morning.

New students and advisors had all received an antigen rapid test from CVS on move-in day, but antigen tests have a lower sensitivity and specificity than molecular tests. As such, all O-Week participants will undergo a follow-up molecular test by the end of this week. However, the entire Will Rice advising team and new student cohort will be tested via the molecular test either today or tomorrow as a precaution, according to Kirby. Results from Rices molecular tests, which are provided by Houston Methodist and Baylor Genetics, are returned within 48 hours, but Kirby said that the tests are often being returned in 24 hours.

We'll go through the whole college and test everybody, Kirby said. We'll see if there are any [COVID-19 positive students] that have been missed or any new infections and sort of sweep through and get everybody today or tomorrow. And these tests are very accurate.

According to Kirby, there was an additional Will Rice advisor who tested positive for COVID-19, however this student had fully recovered from a previous COVID-19 infection and Student Health Services determined that they did not pose any risk for transmission, according to Kirby. The CDC notes this possibility in their guidance on discontinuing isolation measures.

Recovered persons can continue to shed detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens for up to 3 months after illness onset, albeit at concentrations considerably lower than during illness, in ranges where replication-competent virus has not been reliably recovered and infectiousness is unlikely, the CDC writes. Studies have not found evidence that clinically recovered persons with persistence of viral RNA have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to others.

Following this guidance, Kirby said that this additional Will Rice advisor was not isolated, but continues to be monitored.

Kirby said that 833 new students were given rapid tests on Saturday and Sunday, and three students tested positive. Those who tested positive could either move in to Sid Richardson College, the designated isolation housing, or return home. No more than two students have occupied Sid Rich at any point thus far, Kirby noted.

Campuswide, there have been 4,595 tests administered between August 1 and August 17, and 11 people (3 staff, 7 undergraduates, 1 graduate student) have tested positive, based on a recent update from Crisis Management. Kirby said that Rice will be administering 4,500 tests per week by the first week of classes.

Gorman said that two restrictions have been added to the campuswide O-Week program as precautionary measures. First, all remaining cross-college events have been canceled for the week. Second, students will not be allowed to eat meals together in the college commons, and must eat meals in their dorm rooms or outdoors in a physically-distanced manner.

We're testing everybody this week, as we're doing every week, Gorman said. So we're going to know in the next couple of days whether we're seeing any more spread or whether it's just these two cases at Will Rice.

Gorman said that she hopes to remove the restriction on college commons dining after O-Week, but will decide after more test results are returned.

I think by the weekend after we've gone through and gotten the test results back on everybody on campus and we get a sense about where we're at, we will make a decision at that point, Gorman said. But in preparation, just in case, we are going to ramp up our outside furniture.

Kirby said that while the COVID-19 positivity rate is substantially lower on campus than in Houston, it is important to continue all safety precautions and adapt to changing conditions.

We have to be very careful and wary right about that and we need to not have a false sense of optimism here, Kirby said. That's why it's important that we continue to do all the safety precautions ... and we continue to do our testing rigorously and often. We're prepared to make changes like we already have. I'm sure we'll continue to make changes over the course of the fall semester.

[8/18/2020 at 11:15 p.m.] The story was updated with correct information about the movement of on-campus students. Will Rice President Rahul Popat clarified that on-campus students are not restricted to their rooms.

[8/18/2020 at 11:45 p.m.] The story was updated with information about an additional Will Rice advisor who tested positive for COVID-19, but was determined to not pose any risk for transmission.

[8/19/2020 at 3:10 p.m.] The story was updated with statistics from on-campus COVID-19 testing.

Whitby student welcomes A-level U-turn – but still left in limbo over his future – Whitby Gazette

August 20th, 2020 6:57 am

A-level student Kilian Robinson.

Kilian Robinson, 18, of Egton, consistently achieved the highest possible grades for his subjects Biology, Chemistry and Maths over the past two years.

But he was horrified on Thursday to discover that his centre assessment grades had been reduced from A*A*A* to ABB by the controversial Government algorithm, despite him not once attaining anything lower than an A.

He said today (Tues) that Imperial College London had indicated they would keep his place on a Biological Scienes course open to him if he successfully appealed.

Yesterday's Governments U-turn means Kilian has attained his grades and fulfilled his side of the bargain.

He is now waiting to hear back from Imperial College London, having emailed them after the dramatic climbdown was announced.

They said they would honour my offer if I got the grades now Ive got them," he said.

The fight isnt over. Everyone is anxious about it and what if the course is full?

Its a massive problem, yes Ive got my grades but its still to be resolved.

Coronavirus: Cold temperatures are where Covid-19 thrives – Stuff.co.nz

With investigations into a coolstore and freight as a potential pathway for the latest outbreak of Covid-19, what does science say about surfaces and refrigeration?

Surfaces at a Mount Wellington coolstore are being tested for Covid-19 in an effort to uncover the route of the virus back into the community.

Americold in Mount Wellington, Auckland, where a south Auckland man with coronavirus works.

A worker at the coolstore has tested positive for the disease. How he caught it is still a mystery. The possibility it could have come in on overseas freight arriving at the coolstore is being investigated.

Were not ruling that out, said Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield, We want to get to the bottom of that.

The coolstore environment has been swabbed and test results are expected back today.

Yesterday, three other workers from the coolstore returned positive tests for Covid-19.

It's possible the workers were either infected by contaminated goods, or the virus was brought into the workplace after it was caught elsewhere, possibly by the man who was first diagnosed.

Two branches of the coolstore have been closed. One in Mount Wellington, where the man worked, and another close to Auckland Airport.

Genomic sequencing is still underway, but as of yesterday afternoon there hasnt been a link between genome patterns of cases in border quarantine and the genome pattern of the coolstore-related cases.

University of Auckland professor Shaun Hendy said the fact the source of the outbreak hadnt been identified yet was concerning.

Tests are still ongoing to trace the pandemics source.

To date, the genomic information suggests this cluster is not linked to a managed isolation and quarantine facility. The business itself is linked to international freight, air and sea, which does suggest that this is a possible entry route, whether via packaging, or more likely, via person-to-person.

Like many things Covid-19 related, the science of transmission isnt clear-cut; what studies have been done are often laboratory-based.

Surface transmission is considered a lower risk for virus transmission than person-to-person contact but cold environments, such as meat works, have been at the centre of overseas clusters.

Cant touch this

New Zealands news came as China has again claimed it has found the virus on the outer packaging of frozen prawns imported from Ecuador.

Chinas state television said it was found during a routine inspection of a restaurant in Wuhu city.

Its not the first report of this in China. Since July, several other Chinese cities have also reported cases, including the port cities of Xiamen and Dalian leading to imports from three suppliers being suspended.

After nucleic acid sequence analysis and expert judgment, the test results suggested that the container environment and the outer packaging of the goods of the three companies were at risk of contamination by the new coronavirus, and the companies food safety management system was not in order, the General Administration of Customs said in a statement.

The director of the organisation, Bi Kexi, told reporters: "Experts believe that the results do not mean they are contagious but that the companies' food safety management systems are not well implemented," Bi Kexin, director General Administration of Customs said.

For international packaging to be the cause of this outbreak, a chain of events would need to have taken place. Enough of the virus landing - on packaging - perhaps through a person coughing droplets onto a surface - would be the first step. The droplets would need to remain viable throughout the journey to the New Zealand coolstore.

Then the virus on the packaging would need to find a pathway to a person, possibly through someone touching the package and then touching their face.

Studies have been done on how long the virus survives on different surfaces. Traces of the virus were detected on plastic and steel up to three days after contamination and on cardboard for up to one day.

In chilled conditions, the virus can survive longer. One study looking at the survival time of the virus in a test tube found at 4C, the virus survived for 14 days. At 37C it lasted just one day.

The other factor is the amount of virus on a surface. A recent letter published in The Lancet suggests the risk of surface transmission has been exaggerated.

None of these studies present scenarios akin to real life situations, the letter said.

The Rutgers University professor of microbiology, biochemistry and molecular genetics Emanuel Goldmans issue was that in real life the amount of virus would likely be several orders of magnitude smaller.

While saying he believed in erring on the side of caution, he thought the risk was low.

In my opinion, the chance of transmission through inanimate surfaces is very small, and only in instances where an infected person coughs or sneezes on the surface, and someone else touches that surface soon after the cough or sneeze (within one - two hours).

While the risk is considered low, its still a possibility.

In a Chinese mall, several people caught the virus in January despite not being in direct contact with the one person at the mall who was known to have it. A restroom and elevator buttons were considered to be places where these people may have touched contaminated surfaces.

Covid and chill

Cold work environments have been at the centre of outbreaks. The exact reasons why arent clear, although theres plenty of speculation.

In the US 17,358 cases of coronavirus were recorded from meat and poultry factory workers.

An abattoir in Germany was closed after 1500 workers were infected and in Melbourne at least three abattoirs were closed after outbreaks occurred. Abattoir-related outbreaks have also occurred in the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Denmark and the Netherlands.

There are a few factors likely to be at play and theyre not related to dead animals.

Physical distancing on a production line can be hard as often people work shoulder-to-shoulder. Shifts are long, and casualised employment can make people less likely to stay home when ill because they cant afford time off.

Background noise can mean shouting is needed to communicate, increasing the risk of droplet spread. Air filtration systems push air around, potentially spreading droplets further.

No sunlight and cold conditions extend the life of the virus.

The conditions at the New Zealand coolstore where cases have emerged may not be identical to overseas abattoirs, but there's a chance cold may play a role in giving any virus in the environment a chance to live longer.
