A research team from Penn State College of Medicine will use $200,000 to further develop a topically applied therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
more effective and less expensive treatment option for more than four million diabetic patients in the U.S
distinguished professor of neural and behavioral sciences
diabetics often experience slower and insufficient healing of wounds
difficult to administer and rarely prevent progression of the disease
McLaughlin’s novel therapeutic — a topical therapy that can be easily applied by patients or caregivers in the home — aims to target the underlying cause of the disease
Pre-clinical studies showed the topical therapy decreased healing time and improved wound quality
The funds are part of the University City Science Center’s QED Proof-of-Concept Program
The Science Center typically receives up to 50 applications annually from 22 universities and research institutions across Pennsylvania
which aims to prepare the most promising new technologies for commercialization to transition from bench to bedside faster
McLaughlin’s team was one of three awarded funding out of 12 selected finalists. Additional finalists from the College of Medicine included Jeffrey Neighbors and Elias Rizk
who also received critical support in developing their proof-of-concept plans
The team will use the funds to complete dermatological toxicology studies before moving into clinical trials next year. During that time, the Penn State Center for Medical Innovation and the Science Center’s experienced team of business advisors will provide guidance to the team so they can position their technology for an exit into a startup or licensing agreement with an industry partner
McLaughlin’s patented technology will utilize a streamlined U.S
Food and Drug Administration approval pathway
which means it could reach patients faster because of previously published data
Sassani and Zagon are the founders of ElkosRX
a startup company aimed at developing their novel technology for treatment of diabetic wounds

for the purpose of maintaining the objectivity and the integrity of research at The Pennsylvania State University

The new major order to Liberate Fori and Zagon Prime seem to be glitched
The Helldivers 2 Liberate Fori Prime and Zagon Prime Major Order is up
requiring players not just to liberate those two planets
We'll explain the particulars of how to liberate Fori and Zagon Prime in Helldivers 2 from the Terminids below
and why you might not be able to get to one or both planets
at time of writing a Major Order to Liberate Fori Prime and Zagon Prime in Helldivers 2 is live - but you might not be able to get to both worlds
other worlds in the Mirin Sector need to be liberated to push back the frontline to Zagon Prime.
This is why the current Major Order seems so daunting that many were wondering at first (including us) if it was a glitch - the community will have to liberate multiple planets in just a couple of days
This will only be possible with a lot of hard work (and the hope that Joel won't interfere)
Either way, if you need to liberate Fori Prime, Zagon Prime, or the worlds leading up to them as part of the newest Helldivers 2 Major Orders
then the process is relatively simple - land on those worlds and complete full operations - as in
but the mission chains that they're part of
and the only way that the community has of saving those worlds before the ever-encroaching deadline

podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University
none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life
As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games
reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine
He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook
they should probably add another just to be safe
and that’s what happened to Gregory Telman on Day 1a of the €888 888poker LIVE Bucharest Main Event
The massive cooler propelled Telman near the top of the chip leaderboard where he would stay most of the day
finishing with 410,000 and the second-biggest stack of the surviving 23 players
who ended up bagging the chip lead with 427,500
Konstantinos Vatseris knocked out two players with a set of jacks on his way to finishing with 260,500
Other big stacks include Viorel Gavrila (337,500) and EPT champion Razvan Belea (291,000)
Alexandru Budai (105,000) and Alexandru Stoian (76,500) are further down the leaderboard
Those who will have to try again on another flight include Gabriel Penescu
who took an early chip lead but failed to survive the day
Those who didn’t survive the 11 45-minute levels and any new hopefuls still have three more starting flights to jump into the event
There is also a turbo Day 1d flight that will feature 20-minute levels
The remaining players from the four starting flights then combine for Day 2 on August 13
There was plenty of action on the opening flight here in the Romanian capital

A Penn State College of Medicine research-based startup ElkosRx is working to bring its topical treatment for early-stage diabetic foot ulcers to the market
People with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes often experience suppressed wound healing
This means that for 25% of diabetics who get a foot ulcer
an open sore that’s usually located on the bottom of the foot
“Most of the effort in the field is in late-stage wounds
which get infected and are harder to treat
so the probability of success is really low,” ElkosRx co-founder and CEO Mark Lane said
“There is this unmet need for a treatment that targets these early-stage wounds to improve the quality and speed of healing
and that will hopefully reduce the recurrence and severity of wounds.”
found through their research that a pre-existing generic oral drug known as Naltrexone can be re-purposed for topical use to speed up the wound healing process for diabetic foot ulcers
“Following our discovery of elevated serum levels of Opioid Growth Factor (OGF) leading to reduced wound closure
we are particularly excited that we can restore these biological tissue repair processes to normal in diabetes patients using a topical therapy,” said McLaughlin
knowing that this therapy is safe and effective
as well as FDA-approved for other purposes
We are planning on a fast-track to clinical trials in the near future.”
Because the drug has already been tested for safety
ElkosRx has been able to follow an abbreviated pathway for regulatory approval to use the drug as a topical treatment
the ElkosRx team successfully completed a formulation known as a GNP formulation
which the FDA has reviewed and approved for use in a clinical trial
“The really interesting thing about this company
in addition to the fact that it’s a low-risk
is that we have been able to get to this point where we can enter into clinical trials with just small grant funding,” Lane said
“We really moved very quickly and efficiently.”
ElkosRx is a current participant in the Invent Penn State Startup Leadership Network’s 2022 Board of Advisors program
“The advisory board consists of experts in non-clinical
reimbursement — all things that are very important for us as we bring this potential therapy to the market,” Lane said
“We’ve got a really fantastic board of advisers that provided us with lots of good insights into things we could do better and maybe differently as we progress.”
The startup has also worked with the Penn State College of Medicine’s Center for Medical Innovation for advice and support
Lane said ElkosRx is currently working to raise funds to conduct their first clinical trial
which will be their next major milestone as a company

Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donations
Brooklyn-based, Antiguan-born photographer Rashida Zagon captured the return of the festivities for Gothamist.
Steel pan players at J'Ouvert in Brooklyn. The early-morning celebration of Carnival returned on September 5, after a two-year hiatus.
Revelers welcomed the return of in-person celebrations.
“It gives you a full memory of being back in your homeland,” said Rochelle Brown at J’Ouvert in Brooklyn. Brown is originally from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “Each Caribbean island has Carnival. And being away from your homeland, and getting this one opportunity — this one to celebrate, hang with friends, and people you don’t even know. It’s all about the fun day. It’s all about the celebration.”

Gothamist is a website about New York City news
The Chinese military released an image on 3 December showing a PLANAF Y-8Q aircraft attached to a division under the Eastern Theatre Command dropping a new type of guided depth charge during a recently held live-fire training exercise
the weapon deployed appears to be the same as the one seen in a China Central Television (CCTV) report broadcast on 15 May
where several examples of a new depth charge – the designation of which has yet to be revealed – were shown on loading trolleys
The shape and description of the weapon suggests that it is very similar to a Russian ‘Zagon’ guided depth charge
controllable fins in the tail section enable the weapon to be steered as it descends through the water
guided by an active acoustic homing system installed in the nose
The Russian ‘Zagon 2’ weapons are assessed to have a relatively small 35 kg warhead
but the use of a shaped charge will substantially increase their effectiveness in penetrating a submarine pressure hull
Open-source information suggests that the weapons can be guided to their target if dropped within 450 m of a submarine

Janes Intelligence SummaryA fortnightly update featuring the latest analysis
the jaws on the sidelines dropped one by one
everyone watching the team from Maine was scrambling for the event's roster to see exactly who was No
Without a single college offer of any shape
On a weekend which featured some real talent
such as national recruits like Savon Huggins
Zagon showed time and time again that his name belongs with the blue-chip elite
He stepped up against some deep and talented programs
Problem is that no one had ever heard of him outside the state of Maine
"I really began playing football in eighth grade," said Zagon
"I just began playing because I liked it
I really didn't know that much about it because I used to play soccer
Zagon says that he wasn't very good at football either at first
often confused and raw as an overwhelmed eighth-grader trying to learn the game
he played some quarterback but didn't even get a sniff of varsity action
he moved over to running back and made the varsity team
Eight-hundred yards and six touchdowns later
Cue his junior season: Zagon topped 1,000 yards on the ground
including a six-touchdown effort in one game early in the season
but he continues a lifelong passion for martial arts
who is an instructor in several such competition sports
While his father isn't what you'd call a football fanatic
he was willing to make the trek from Maine to central New Jersey to showcase his son's abilities on a bigger stage
showing good hands and an ability to make players miss with a wiggle of the hips and a burst of speed
Zagon has only received interest from a handful of schools
He's a freakish athlete in every meaning of the word -- a 6-foot-2
running the 100 meters in just under 11 seconds and competing in the high jump and long jump
the soft-spoken and well-mannered Zagon is focused on one thing and one thing only
"Playing for a college football powerhouse," Zagon said
"Some place with great fan support and where the team pushes you hard
Zagon said that he will begin to send his tape out soon to programs to help generate interest
The skills he showed in the 7-on-7 -- great hands
outstanding feet and breakaway speed -- are reminiscent of another player who generated minimal interest from BCS schools: Pitt's Dion Lewis
"I just am happy to be here and have a chance to go against great competition," Zagon said
I feel like I have something to prove."
Zagon then left the field after his team's final game in the early afternoon to walk around the facilities at Rutgers and check out the stadium and the football offices at the Hale Center
"I haven't really ever seen a big program up close," he said
It's been two trips up I-95 to New Jersey in as many weeks for Virginia Beach's Demetrious Nicholson
who last week was named MVP of the TEST Sports Clubs Premier Showcase event
Like last weekend's Badger Sports 7-on-7
the Premier Showcase was also held at Rutgers
Nicholson was the event's top player in the secondary
showing good hips and an ability to lock down on a receiver in tight coverage
"the 757" looks to have a star player as a true national recruitment begins to develop for the cornerback
"I haven't gotten tired of it yet," Nicholson said of the recruiting process
"It's a great feeling to know that all these schools are after you."
Nicholson has an impressive offer list as his recruitment gets set to take off
he got a call from the program on Saturday morning before arriving at the Badger Sports 7-on-7 event
telling me just what I can be a part of if I go there," Nicholson said
the Tar Heels are hoping that the Chesapeake cornerback will make the decision to commit to Chapel Hill as soon as possible
"They told me that they plan on taking two cornerbacks in this class and that if I want my spot
I need to decide real soon," Nicholson said
"They want me to make my decision sooner rather then later or else they say that maybe I will miss out."
Despite the pressure from programs like North Carolina
Nicholson said he will keep his options open but
Though he did say the Tar Heels are "kind of my leader." He has a strongly built and compact frame and blends strength and athleticism incredibly well
Nicholson has visited only one other program -- Rutgers
for the events he has attended the past two weeks -- but he plans on taking in Virginia Tech's spring game on March 26th
One of the most impressive performers on a stacked Maryland team was linebacker Darien Harris out of DeMatha High in Hyattsville
and Harris showed good mobility and recovery speed
He even registered an interception in one of the games for Maryland 1 on Saturday morning
reading the ball well and breaking to the pass nimbly
He also used his long arms to provide tight coverage and jam open space
Harris boasts just a single offer from Syracuse but his performance at the event showed a player who wasn't afraid to match up against much larger athletes -- Harris often covered the other team's tight end or largest receiver
and he showed good enough footwork to hang with much smaller and more shifty players
He registered 67 tackles and seven sacks for head coach Bill McGregor last year
as DeMatha advanced to their ninth straight championship game in Maryland
Harris has visited several programs and looks forward to a busy spring and summer of checking out campuses
Wake Forest sticks out in his mind because of the small campus and the "vibe of the student body." He also has built a good relationship with Maryland and attended junior day at Rutgers
("I really liked the facilities there and the team's mindset is similar to the one at DeMatha.")
Harris expects more offers to be coming soon as his tape gains momentum
with strong interest coming from Maryland
Event organizer Baron Flanery of New Level Athletics was raving about the potential of the player and his performance in the morning session
Deontay McManus of Dunbar (Maryland) is claiming verbal offers from Maryland and Michigan
He is set for the Nike Combine this summer and will be long-jumping this spring
McManus showed good size and caught the ball very well as one of the youngest players at the event

Helldivers 2 players were just celebrating a win
and game master Joel has turned up right on cue to put them straight back to work
Players have 72 hours to liberate both Fori Prime and Zagon Prime
and they'll get 35 medals if they pull it off.
"With the TCS securing our citizens' lives," the missive from high command begins
by culling the Terminid population and harvesting the E-710 they provide."
Liberating two planets may not sound like much
and both are thankfully filled with bugs rather than the often more annoying Automatons
but Fori Prime and Zagon Prime aren't exactly waiting on a silver platter
We're going to have to chew through multiple planets to get to them
we only just lost one of them – Estanu
the Helldivers 2 community will have to leapfrog off either Estanu or Crimsica
Estanu is the current frontrunner since it's about 41% liberated at the time of writing
and then move onto either Oshaune or Nivel 43
and then we can finally assault Zagon Prime.

Hannah Zagon knows her mommy now gets tired easily because of the ouchies in her head and lungs called cancer
the firm’s first female partner in litigation
She was juggling an 80 percent schedule at work
the demands of family life and the commute from the suburbs to the city
and she decided to slow down and join True North Communications as an in-house employment lawyer
she got a headache so painful she had to leave work and vomited in the car on the way home
infrequent headaches over the previous six months and sometimes a slight tingling in her left arm and a left finger
she got a phone call telling her to come to the doctor’s office with her husband
had so much swelling around it that the midline of her brain had shifted
she was told she had stage 4 primary lung cancer that had metastasized to her brain
after having brain surgery to remove the largest tumor
who had been diagnosed with lung cancer six months earlier
Together they decided to raise money to find a cure
but they soon realized there wasn’t an organization that targeted donations exclusively for lung cancer research
“There is a stigma,” said Zagon
“People don’t necessarily want to contribute to lung cancer research because they think [people bring] it on themselves
But I’m living proof that people don’t bring it on themselves.”
Zagon had become one of the approximately 22,000 people each year who have never smoked but are diagnosed with lung cancer
The disease is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States
killing more Americans each year than breast
Eighty-five percent of newly diagnosed patients die within five years
yet it receives comparatively few research dollars: In 2001
approximately $1,200 was spent on research per lung cancer death
compared to $8,190 per prostate cancer death and $11,425 per breast cancer death
LUNGevity planned its first benefit for Oct
The organization grossed nearly five times that amount
the foundation partnered with the American College of Chest Physicians in awarding two $10,000 research grants for lung cancer research
Levy didn’t live to see their success
assembled a board of directors and started exploring other partnership opportunities
with the goal of becoming a national organization
Zagon is still involved in the bigger issues of the foundation
but she has had to step back from the daily operation to focus on her health
and the fluid is back in her lungs and the disease is in her brain
guardedly hopeful.” She has already lived longer than most people diagnosed with stage 4 cancer do
and says she is “just going to give it every shot that I have
She’s trying to do everything she can to make her daughter’s life as normal as possible
But when Hannah throws her penny in the fountain at the mall

In the run-up to the 22 November presidential election in Romania
leaders of Transylvania's Magyar community are campaigning for an autonomous Szeklerland
But in a region where Magyars and Romanians live happily side by side
the local population appears largely indifferent to demands for independence
the road linking Brasov to Covasna is redolent with the aroma of Kurtos Kalacs (sweet buns sprinkled with caramelized sugar) and homemade potato bread
This is the historic route to the country of the Szeklers
whose National Council recently voted to adopt a national anthem
a coat of arms and a flag for the "future autonomous Szeklerland." Zagon
one of the largest villages in Covasna country has about 5,000 inhabitants
almost as many Hungarians and about 40 Roms
Politicians in Zagon are proud of the fact that the village is run by a multi-ethnic team with a Magyar mayor
Both men have known each other since they shared the same bench in primary school
and we have never had any ethnic issues with the Magyars and the Gipsies," explains the deputy mayor
"I can honestly say that I don't understand this Szeklerland business
I was talking about what's been happening with a policeman from the Magyar community
does that mean that I will earn twice as much as my Romanian colleagues?'" Almost everyone in Zagon can speak Romanian and Hungarian
and fluency in both languages is virtual pre-requisite for local government jobs
the streets are busy with carts and tractors loaded with potatoes
the principal product of the land that is the main source of income for most of the inhabitants of Zagon — and there is hardly any talk of politics in the village where conversation is invariably dominated by discussion of the potato crop and growing conditions
several men are working on the roof of a house
which will soon be home to young mixed couple: Sorina
"There is no problem when the husband is Hungarian and the wife is Romanian or vice versa
so they can't hate each other — not like they claim on the TV," insists Gabriela Cretu
a former teacher in the village nursery school
who feels the calls for an independent Magyar community have been orchestrated by nationalists in Budapest
Tartoli Bila was sitting quietly in the shade
The 75-year-old who has always lived Zagon does not know what to make of the campaign for autonomy
where everyone does the same work and where he has spent most of his life
and the Romanian girls marry the Magyar men
and the Romanian lads go after the Magyar girls
Independence for Szeklerland is impossible****
which can be identified by an old election poster fluttering outside in the breeze
the chairman of the local branch of the National Liberal Party (NLP)
Mugurel Grigorescu who works as building manager in Covasna
told us he wants to put "a spanner in the Hungarians' works" — but he does not feel he is involved in an ethnic dispute
"ordinary people who are too busy working the land
This question of independence for the Szeklers has been stirred up by a handful of politicians
Let's see how they manage on the income they bring in — and without electricity too." Grigorescu is convinced that an independent Szeklerland is impossible: "You can't have a state within a state
you can't have an independent state without an independent economy
They depend on Romania for everything: for gas

the leaders of the UDMR (the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania) has been campaigning for an autonomous Szekler territory
but the people of Zagon seem to be largely unaware of their existence
this indifference is due to the fact that Romania's Hungarian minority already benefits from an extensive bill of rights which include state recognition of the Hungarian language — which allows Hungarian speakers to to use their native language in court
and enables their children to attend special Hungarian schools or Hungarian language classes in other schools — and state acknowledgement of the need to protect and promote Szekler culture
which encourages Hungarian language newspapers
and radio and TV stations — a provision also extends to national TV channels
which have special hours for Hungarian programming
It is the continuation of this policy that will probably ensure that Zagon will remain the sleepy village that it is today
