SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Marler Clark filed the first Salmonella Lawsuit linked to Salmonella Newport – tainted Onions from Thomson International of Bakersfield.  Marler Clark, national Salmonella attorneys, are working with Craig Murphy of Murphy & Murphy on behalf of Keith Robert Willis of San Diego who became sick on July 1 with Salmonella Newport after consuming Thomson red onions.  Mr. Willis continues to be ill.

Investigators in the U.S. and Canada have been collaborating to identify the source of this outbreak. On July 30, 2020, Canadian health officials announced that they had determined red onions from the U.S. to be the potential source of the Canadian outbreak. The Canadian investigation has also prompted a recall warning by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Building on this information, and on epidemiologic information on the U.S. outbreak from CDC, the FDA’s traceback investigation was able to identify Thomson International, Inc. as a likely source of contaminated red onions in the U.S. There have, to date, been 396 reported cases in the United States and 114 in Canada.

United States:

Total Illnesses: 396
Hospitalizations: 59
Illness Onset Date Range: July 12, 2020
States with Cases: AK (6), AZ (14), CA (49), CO (10), FL (3), ID (5), IL (10), IN (2), IA (15), KS (1), KY (1), ME (4), MD (1), MI (23), MN (10), MO (6), MT (33), NE (5), NV (5), NY (4), NC (3), ND (5), OH (7), OR (71), PA (2), SC (1), SD (11), TN (5), TX (1), UT (61), VA (4), WA (2), WI (5), and WY (11).

Canada:

Total Illnesses: 114
Hospitalizations: 16
Illness Onset Date Range: Mid-June and mid-July 2020.
Provinces with Cases: British Columbia (43), Alberta (55), Manitoba (13), Ontario (2), and Prince Edward Island (1).

Thomson International, Inc. of Bakersfield, California is recalling Red, Yellow, White, and Sweet Yellow Onions shipped from May 1, 2020 through the present. The onions are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

«I am extremely excited to welcome three new brokerages to the Coldwell Banker brand. We are at a crucial moment where it is no longer enough to have conversations about diversity, and brands like Coldwell Banker must act. This program will increase diversity among our brokerages, supporting minority, women, LGBTQ+, and veteran entrepreneurs. When we increase diversity among our broker-owners and focus on a culture of inclusion brokerages will better serve groups that are traditionally underrepresented as home and property owners. Coldwell Banker can help build wealth for diverse communities and promote equal opportunity for all.»

– M. Ryan Gorman, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate

«The Omni Group has helped build generational wealth for the Latino community in Orange County for many years.

It sets us up for success as a woman-owned business that values diversity and we look forward to many years ahead of serving the Grand Island community. I’m excited to work with the bright, supportive team at Coldwell Banker.»

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific LLC, a precision biosciences company committed to transforming cancer management announced today that it has been selected as a finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020, a peer-reviewed awards program from the publisher of Fierce Biotech and Fierce Pharma.  miR Scientific was recognized as a Finalist in the category of Medical Device Innovation for its revolutionary liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect and grade prostate cancer non-invasively.  

The competition highlights companies that demonstrate innovative life sciences solutions, technologies, and services that have the potential to make the greatest impact. 

The miR Sentinel Prostate Test solves an acute real-world problem involving the disease management of prostate cancer, a screened disease that represents the highest number of new cancer cases diagnosed annually and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the US. 

The current standard of care for the diagnosis of prostate cancer relies on inaccurate PSA blood tests to trigger very invasive, high risk and costly core needle biopsies, which for the most part are unnecessary. Current standards are utilized by less than half of the age-eligible male population in the US, further compounding health inequity and the opportunity to identify dangerous cancers earlier to allow for better outcomes. 

The innovative Sentinel Prostate Test developed by miR Scientific is non-invasive and can, with over 90% accuracy, detect prostate cancer as well as classify the risk category of malignancies based on a single urine specimen and without the need for invasive biopsies. 

The awards program’s applications were reviewed by an exclusive panel of executives from major biotech and pharma companies including Astellas, Accenture, AstraZeneca, Angiocrine Bioscience, Biotech Research Group, NIHR Clinical Research Network, Medidata Solutions and PPD. All applications were evaluated based on the following criteria: effectiveness, technical innovation, competitive advantage, financial impact, and true innovation. A full list of judges can be found at  https://fiercelifesciencesawards.secure-platform.com/a/page/judges 

Winners will be announced in the 2020 Innovation Report set to publish by Fierce Life Sciences on September 14, 2020. 

«We are honored by the decision of the award committee to select miR Scientific as a Finalist for the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020» said Sam Salman, Chairman and CEO of miR Scientific. «Our miR Sentinel Prostate Test powers a comprehensive disease management platform that is accurate, non-invasive, standalone and scalable. As a result, our platform provides clear and actionable answers to the most pressing questions that are on every patient and provider’s mind: Is cancer present and if so, how severe is it and what is next. Our technology can achieve quick and accurate answers to all of these questions from a single urine specimen, which should empower far broader engagement with all eligible men, including tens of millions of men who are not currently receiving the potentially life-saving benefits of early detection.  Aided by our proactive engagement with the urology and oncology communities, we have developed a game-changing technology that we are confident will forever change the standard of care for urological cancers.» Mr. Salman added that «miR Scientific is an impact minded organization and we believe this technology is poised to improve the lives of millions of men worldwide. Awareness and recognition are the first steps in the long road to broad adoption of innovative technologies, so we are thankful to the award committee for naming us a finalist for the prestigious Fierce Innovation Award –  Life Sciences Edition 2020.» 

The miR Sentinel Test is expected to be commercially available in the United States later this year and in select markets in Europe and Asia beginning in 2021. 

About miR Scientific: miR Scientific, LLC is a precision bioscience company that is committed to transforming cancer management globally.  The Company has developed a proprietary, non-invasive platform for the effective disease management of urological cancers. The platform is powered by the miR Sentinel Prostate test, a liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect, classify, and monitor prostate cancer based on the interrogation of small-non-coding RNAs extracted from urinary exosomes. miR Scientific is the only company with the interoperable products and services necessary to revolutionize the standards of care supporting urologic oncology. Such new standards are much needed given the debilitating prevalence and disease burden of prostate and bladder cancers globally.
