FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A new exploratory study, conducted by NetNoggin®, highlights patient and caregiver reported change in lung function, expectations, and lexicon for patients who have been on TRIKAFTA.

Marketing Director of NetNoggin®, Megan Newcomer, explains, «We’ve been tracking how TRIKAFTA has influenced the cystic fibrosis community in our new report, NetNog: #genesis® Cystic Fibrosis V2.0, but we wanted to release an exploratory study that analyzes if this market disruptor is truly perceived as a ‘game changer’ now that it has been on the market for more than nine months. We did an exploratory study shortly after TRIKAFTA was launched in October 2019, and saw the excitement and lexicon themes around TRIKAFTA being a ‘game changer.’ We thought it was appropriate now to look at TRIKAFTA again and compare the results to those we originally saw in October.»

The results of this exploratory analysis show that while TRIKAFTA met and even exceeded expectations for many patients, others were less satisfied by its effect. Visit https://netnoggin.net/exploratory-analysis to request the full exploratory analysis.

Additional results for TRIKAFTA’s disruption can be found in NetNoggin‘s syndicated, comprehensive report, NetNog: #genesis® Cystic Fibrosis V2.0, which includes updates to the patient journey due to TRIKAFTA, and puts the TRIKAFTA market disruption into context by highlighting the patient experience of those on TRIKAFTA as well as those not on TRIKAFTA.

The Power of Touchscreens: ISB Researchers Develop Game to Help Students Learn Molecular Biology

SEATTLE, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Molecular biology is complicated business, and teaching core concepts to students is undoubtedly challenging — even in non-pandemic times.

SEATTLE, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Molecular biology is complicated business, and teaching core concepts to students is undoubtedly challenging — even in non-pandemic times.

In response to this problem, ISB researchers have created a video game that teaches secondary students (grades 6-12) the key tenets of molecular biology in a fun, interactive and engaging way, and can be used by teachers as a supplemental aide to assist with complex lessons.

«The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology game can be used to asynchronously introduce critical concepts related to the flow of information from DNA to RNA to proteins, which are fundamental to understanding biology, evolution and human health,» said ISB Research Scientist Dr. Jacob Valenzuela. The game is free and web-based, and can operate on any smartphone or computer browser — though the game creators say it works best with a touchscreen.

EQUAL ACCESS TO STEM CONCEPTS

Valenzuela and his colleagues created this game with STEM equity in mind, and it directly addresses the challenge of scalability in STEM education. «We knew a web-based game would provide access to millions of students across the country and around the globe, particularly as internet connectivity continues to rise,» he said.

Initial indications of the game’s efficacy and engagement are extremely promising. Early beta test results showed that nearly 80 percent of students that played the game were more interested in learning about the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. Nearly 90 percent of students said they had fun playing the game, which is important to maintaining engagement.

«It was super fun! The music is super catchy,» said one high school senior.

«I think it’s cool that it shows the idea of mutation. I can definitely see it being a helpful tool for a freshman year biology class,» said another student.

Plus, teachers can monitor the performance of their students, and address specific areas that are proving to be a challenge.

«We spend a lot of time teaching the central dogma and how DNA codes for specific proteins,» said one high school teacher who teaches Agricultural Science and Biology. «This game would be so much fun to either use as a friendly competition within the class or as a supplemental activity to help solidify the ideas of the central dogma. It is awesome!»

FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology is ISB’s first iteration of a gaming platform, but there are a number of educational avenues to pursue with it as a template. For example, developers can create gaming frameworks for systems medicine, gut microbiome health, environmental sustainability, and any other topic area. «The opportunities are limitless. If we can think of it, we can create it,» Valenzuela said.

This work came about thanks to the Innovator Awards Program, which was created to catalyze the development of collaborative research for innovation and discovery within ISB. Valenzuela is the lead investigator of this project, and he worked closely with his collaborators Becky Howsmon, Wei-Ju Wu, Nyasha Chambwe, Jen Eklund and Lauren Bricker. Importantly, University of Washington undergraduate students did most of the coding for the game. Working to develop a game was a unique experience for the students, who gained valuable experience working with a diverse team, similar to a fast-paced startup environment.

The team’s expertise includes systems thinking, molecular biology, software development, and STEM practices.

«Thanks to funding from the Innovator Award Program, a cross-disciplinary team of scientists from several labs within and outside of ISB were able to work together with a common goal,» Valenzuela said.

Beige Page is Becoming the ‘Go To’ Conservative News Source

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The secret has been out a while now. With conservatives becoming increasingly disenchanted with a daily deluge of anti-Trump content, panic-inducing headlines about COVID-19 and protests, and tabloid-type stories – even on sites once considered hubs for conservative news – several websites have emerged to fill the gap for the tens of millions of conservatives that have felt abandoned by modern news outlets.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The secret has been out a while now. With conservatives becoming increasingly disenchanted with a daily deluge of anti-Trump content, panic-inducing headlines about COVID-19 and protests, and tabloid-type stories – even on sites once considered hubs for conservative news – several websites have emerged to fill the gap for the tens of millions of conservatives that have felt abandoned by modern news outlets. But one is beginning to stand out from among the rest – BEIGE PAGE.

Clean, concise, conservative – and updated continuously throughout the day – the recently launched BEIGE PAGE links only to the most essential news/opinion stories, as well as editorial cartoons, market/economic/polling data, and top movies and books. Enticing thumbnail graphics connect visitors to fun daily features such as trivia, sports odds, jokes, factoids, and inspiring quotes. And to ensure visitors are fairly and fully informed, BEIGE PAGE connects to nearly 150 leading news, commentary, and research websites across the political spectrum.

It all fits neatly onto a single reader-friendly web page (which, not surprisingly, is beige).

Even with no advertising or promotion, BEIGE PAGE is rapidly gaining legions of on-line followers worldwide through word of mouth. Web analytics showing an unusual cluster of visits from central Beijing suggest that BEIGE PAGE has also attracted interest from the Chinese government. One reason may be the site’s attention-grabbing headlines: «WHO’S YOUR DADDY, AL-BAGHDADI?», «SCRUTINY ON THE BOUNTY», «JOE SAID WHAT???», among many others.

BEIGE PAGE is the brainchild of Andrew Gilbertson, an Ivy League grad, former published cartoonist and self-proclaimed political junkie and citizen journalist, who already has three other creative million-view websites to his credit. «BEIGE PAGE leans conservative,» Gilbertson says. «But the truth is that every news outlet, without exception, advances its own unique political narrative. It’s all good, because America is a robust marketplace of diverse ideas and people deserve choice when it comes to news perspectives.»

«Too often, though, the massive mainstream media tend to drown out the views of at least half the country. BEIGE PAGE is here to change that,» Gilbertson explains. «We are the sane voice of the Silent Majority and a conduit to overlooked but important news stories, as well as worthy conservative publications and thought leaders, of which there are many. Knowledge and freedom go hand in hand, with ample opportunities for lighthearted moments along the way.»

Can a website like BEIGE PAGE continue to thrive in today’s polarized political environment? Gilbertson thinks so. «We invite intelligent readers of all political persuasions to visit BEIGE PAGE where they can become fully informed and experience the pleasures of la vie en beige. The Age of Beige is here. BEIGE PAGE is definitely a website of a different color.»

HIV/Hepatitis B Drug, Tenofovir, May Cause Kidney and Bone Damage: James Scott Farrin Ready to Fight for Victims

DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Gilead Sciences (Gilead) has recently come under fire for allegedly withholding a safer, more efficient drug than the highly toxic tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin is taking cases of users who took TDF and developed:

The Case Against Gilead and Tenofovir
Plaintiffs claim in the mid-90s, Gilead synthesized and tested two tenofovir-based drugs at the same time — tenofovir disoproxil fumarate («TDF») and tenofovir aladenamide fumarate («TAF»). Gilead found that patients needed about 12 times more TDF than TAF in order to basically achieve the same results. The study revealed that patients who were given TDF had a higher risk of long-term kidney, bone, and teeth injuries because it was given at a higher dose than TAF.

Between 2001 to 2015, Gilead produced 5 different TDF-based drugs making billions of dollars in profit. Recently, Gilead was able to get FDA approval for their «newer» and «safer» drug — tenofovir aladenamide fumarate, or TAF – which they allegedly knew was safer years ago and did not produce.

MELBOURNE, Fla., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Kadre «KK» Dixon was a healthy and athletic young woman who was having the model pregnancy.  She and Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant were looking forward to welcoming their daughter – until KK’s health suddenly began to take a turn. Around her 31st week of pregnancy, KK developed preeclampsia, suffered convulsive seizures, underwent emergency delivery, and almost died from a condition she had never heard of.

In honor of their daughter Kaari’s first birthday and the anniversary of KK’s traumatic birth experience, she is telling their story with one intent – to educate other women. KK especially wants young black women to know the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.

To support this awareness initiative, KK is launching her «I wish I knew» campaign. KK, Ja and baby Kaari will be the honorary chairs for the national Promise Walk for Preeclampsia™, the Preeclampsia Foundation‘s signature fundraiser, which will be held virtually on Saturday, August 29, celebrating the Foundation’s 20th anniversary.  KK is forming her own Promise Walk team and encouraging everyone to either form a team or join her team as they raise funds for the Preeclampsia Foundation, the nation’s only non-profit patient advocacy organization dedicated to education and awareness, improving healthcare practices, and catalyzing research around preeclampsia to find a cause and a cure.

With the support of the Foundation and in honor of Kaari’s first birthday on August 7, KK is sharing all that she wishes she had known about preeclampsia and the warnings she wants other women to heed. Read KK’s love Letter to Kaari and her complete story.

«I am not trying to frighten anyone. I believe knowledge is power. I want to empower you with the information you need to have the best possible outcome for you and your baby,» KK urged.

Join the family’s team JustDoIt4Kaari, or form your own, to win prizes and participate in the walk from wherever you are on Saturday, August 29.

About Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, affects about 1 in every 12 pregnancies in the United States. It is a leading cause of premature birth and maternal and infant death, taking the lives of 70,000 women and 500,000 babies worldwide each year. In the U.S., black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to have a poor outcome than white women.  It occurs sometime after the twentieth week of pregnancy and can occur up to six weeks postpartum. Many of the signs and symptoms, like swelling, headache and rapid weight gain, can be mistaken for normal discomforts of pregnancy.

About the Preeclampsia Foundation

The Preeclampsia Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2000 to improve the outcomes of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy by educating, supporting, and engaging the community, improving healthcare practices, and finding a cure. We envision a world where preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy no longer threaten the lives of mothers and babies. For more information, visit www.preeclampsia.org.
