News ReleaseBenzinga
U.S. cannabis sales in 2021 topped $25 billion and are forecasted to reach $33 billion by the end of 2022. The industry’s rapid expansion has increased demand for buying and leasing cannabis properties. Finding suitable retail space is an issue many cannabis business owners face. 420 Property has made the search more convenient by listing cannabis real estate and businesses available to buy or rent. This property management company connects you with financial institutions to fund your business and professionals to help you with zoning and making the right investment decisions. Navigating Zoning Requirements for Cannabis Properties Zoning laws regulate land uses, enforcing certain restrictions on the property. Although your state’s law permits cannabis sales, a locality has specific zoning requirements. Each municipality enforces restrictions on properties, such as enabling cannabis businesses to operate only on specific streets, determining how and where the business can be advertised and prohibiting the business from being located within 1,000 feet of a school. The numerous limitations placed on cannabis business owners make it difficult for them to set up operations. Navigating local zoning requirements and finding the ideal site for your business is best achieved by working with a property management company. Getting into the Cannabis Industry the Right Way Setting up a cannabis business is a long-term investment that requires you to choose the best method of acquiring real estate. That helps you budget and increases your chances of success. Cannabis Real Estate for Sale Buying cannabis real estate requires you to find a green-zoned property. The ideal way to finance it is with cash. Some banks are allowed to issue loans to cannabis businesses, but they’re accompanied by high fees and interest rates. Investors can choose from several premium cannabis real estate listings in California, New Jersey, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and Michigan. If those listings aren’t suitable, more are available on 420 Property. Cannabis Real Estate for Lease One of the benefits of leasing a property for your cannabis business is that you’re not concerned about the market tanking and decreasing the value of your property. Leasing retail space also requires you to have less upfront capital than buying real estate. Exiting an unsuccessful venture is more viable if you rent rather than own the property. But a major challenge entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry face is high rent. Fortunately, it’s possible to find affordable cannabis retail space to rent. You can visit 420 Property ’s website for a larger selection of real estate to lease. Cannabis Businesses for Sale Setting up a cannabis company from scratch and acquiring all the licenses, equipment and establishing a client base can be an arduous and lengthy process. You can circumvent those challenges by buying an existing cannabis business. Choose a cannabis business for sale or check out 420 Property to connect with a broker who will help you find a great offer. Cannabis Investment Opportunities Instead of setting up a business and being involved in the operations, you can profit from the cannabis industry as an investor and earn passive income. Select the best cannabis investment opportunity and let your money work for you. 420 Property lists numerous investment options for you to explore. Cannabis Real Estate Has Massive Growth Potential Considering that some experts predict the cannabis industry will reach $70 billion in annual sales by 2030, demand for cannabis real estate is rising. You require the assistance of a property management company that will provide guidance about zoning requirements and assist in finding real estate that suits your needs. You can find cannabis listings, financing, insurance, and cannabis real estate brokers on 420 property Contact Details Benzinga +1 877-440-9464 info@benzinga.com Company Website http://www.benzinga.com

News ReleaseElsevier
New ‘Confidence in research: researchers in the spotlight’ report by Economist Impact, supported by Elsevier, reveals researchers’ outlook on global research landscape and concerns around misinformation, online abuse and widening of inequalities. Researchers are concerned about the challenges of greater public interest in scientific research, but the majority believe it has never been more important for them to engage in debate and help counter false information. The landmark ‘Confidence in research: researchers in the spotlight’ report published today finds that nearly two thirds of scientific researchers surveyed (63%) feel the pandemic has increased public attention on research. But only 38% think that better public understanding of research will be a legacy of the pandemic. (i) Conducted by Economist Impact and supported by Elsevier, a global leader in scientific publishing and information analytics, the report combines the findings from a global survey of over 3,000 scientists, scholars and researchers on how the pandemic has affected the practice of undertaking and communicating research in the face of increased public scrutiny. The full report includes recommendations for potential solutions from a Global Expert Panel of researchers, academic leaders, science organisations and policy makers. Being published in a peer-reviewed journal is the most important marker of reliability according to 74% of researchers surveyed. The study also reveals that more than half of researchers (52%) feel the pandemic increased the importance of publishing research early, prior to peer review, and many – particularly women, early career researchers and those in Global South countries – feel the pandemic has widened inequalities in, and access to, funding in their fields. More than half of respondents expressed concern about the challenges of over-simplification(52%) and the politicisation of research (56%) because of increased public attention and social media focus on research and the research process. As a result, many say they now lack confidence in their ability to communicate their findings to the public in this new environment. Fewer than one in five researchers (18%) participating in the study feel highly confident in communicating their findings on social media. This is against a background of nearly a third (32%) of respondents having experienced, or knowing a close colleague who has experienced abuse after posting research online. Half of all researchers surveyed (51%) say they feel a responsibility to engage in debate online and over two thirds (69%) believe the pandemic has increased the importance of separating quality research from misinformation. In fact, misinformation has become such a concern globally in recent years that nearly a quarter of academics (23%) now see publicly countering it as one of their primary roles in society, compared to just 16% who said this was the case before the pandemic. Alongside supporting the landmark survey by Economist Impact, Elsevier partnered with leading science and research organisations (ii) to bring together world-renowned experts, academic leaders and early career researchers to explore the impact of the pandemic on researchers and to identify potential areas of action to help the research community and enhance confidence in research. Economist Impact has combined the findings from the global survey with the insights from the extensive stakeholder dialogue to develop recommendations, which are set out in the ‘Confidence in research: researchers in the spotlight’ report published today. These include: Providing formal communications training to give researchers the tools and guidance to communicate ethically, effectively and with confidence, and incentivising strong communication skills as part of career development; Providing support for researchers in the face of online abuse by drafting clear codes of conduct and guidance on how to manage online interaction; Embedding the right incentive and reward structures to ensure that researchers’ contribution to furthering confidence in science receives appropriate recognition, in particular their role in teaching, public engagement and participation in the peer review process; Promoting collaboration and impact by providing financial incentives for researchers to collaborate in larger teams and facilitate quality trials and studies over quantity; Prioritising equity and diversity by directing research funding to countries and research communities that need it most; Adopting more digestible summaries and user-friendly formats to make it easier for policymakers, journalists or the general public to better understand and identify quality research; Prioritising consistency in R&D spending to ensure that researchers can properly plan their research, staffing and infrastructure needs. Laura Hassink, Managing Director of Scientific, Technical and Medical Journals at Elsevier, said: “The pandemic showed just how important quality research is for addressing global challenges and accelerating progress for society. Science is advancing at an extraordinary pace but that has brought new pressures on researchers such as tackling damaging misinformation, handling public scrutiny, and communicating their work with confidence. The Economist Impact report can be a helpful stimulus as all stakeholders in research come together to turn recommendations into action. At Elsevier, we are committed to supporting the research community to tackle these challenges and thank our expert partners and the thousands of academic leaders, scientists and researchers who lent their invaluable perspectives to this important collaboration.” Tracey Brown, Director, Sense about Science, and chair of a Global Expert Panel that discussed the findings said: “People who use research evidence need to know what weight they can put on it, and the pandemic exploded the numbers of people who use research evidence by millions. Researchers had to bring decision makers, the public and reporters in on all those questions about how reliable a study is, and how convincing its findings are. And they did this – they did it incredibly well the world over, with innovation and determination, but at some price. This research is a step to figuring out how to take the benefits forward, and address the challenges that make it unnecessarily difficult to talk about what we know and how.” Jonathan Birdwell, Regional Head of Policy Research & Insights for EMEA, Economist Impact said: “The pandemic demonstrated the research community’s ability to come together and solve global problems. It increased public attention on that community like never before, presenting opportunities for open science and policy influence, but also challenges around higher volume, speed and demand for simple stories. But do researchers have confidence to embrace a more public-facing role? And are their support structures and incentives fit-for-purpose amidst this new landscape? Our research finds that many researchers want to solve societal problems, influence policy and boost public understanding of research. But to do so confidently, they need more time to devote to communication, support in the face of online abuse and recognition of their public-facing contributions.” Notes to editors Statistical references / methodology (i) Economist Impact’s research was conducted with 3,144 active researchers globally between May and August 2022, spanning 100 countries and dozens of fields of expertise. (N.B. active is defined as having published an article within the last three years). This quantitative research was informed by a literature review and supplemented with qualitative in-depth interviews with a range of independent research experts, plus a Global Advisory Board. (ii) In addition to the quantitative survey and expert interviews, insights were also gathered from six regional roundtables led by Elsevier’s regional convening partners: Chinese Association for Science of Science and Science & Technology Policy (China) Japanese Association for the of Advancement Science (Japan) Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, (Netherlands) Körber Stiftung (Germany) Research!America (United States) Sense about Science (UK) Combined, these roundtables featured the perspectives of around 200 researchers covering approximately 14 countries. (iii) The survey findings, insights from the qualitative in-depth interviews and the regional roundtables were discussed by a Global Expert Panel, convened by Elsevier, which contributed recommendations for action and further exploration. These were collated by the Economist Impact and set out in the full report. More information on the methodology of the study and a full list of the experts consulted can be viewed via the report.

News ReleaseSunshine Biopharma Inc.
The generic drug market has been growing since 1984 when the Hatch-Waxman Act encouraged manufacturing generics and developed a framework to regulate them. Apart from name difference, generic drugs work the same as an already marketed brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Generic drug manufacturers can apply to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permission to produce drugs when a patent expires. Generic drugs typically cost 80% to 85% less than branded drugs. If you look at your medications, chances are you will find one or more generic drugs such as ibuprofen, famotidine, metformin, metoprolol and amphetamine salt combo. Growing Global Generic Drugs Market The popularity, need for and use of these drugs are fueling the growth of the global generic drug market, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.24% from 2022 to 2027. The market is expected to be worth $311.8 billion this year and $442.3 billion by 2027. Companies like Sol-Gel Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: SLGL), Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) and Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ: SBFM) are researching, running trials and releasing products to meet demand. Strategic Acquisition By Sunshine Biopharma As the market continues to grow, strategic acquisitions like Sunshine Biopharma ’s recent purchase of Nora Pharma Inc. could help shape the future of the generic drugs market. Nora Pharma is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunshine after the acquisition of its outstanding shares. The purchase price of approximately $21.9 million was paid by cash, Sunshine Biopharma common stock, and an earn-out amount. Nora Pharma is one of North America’s fastest-growing generic pharmaceutical companies, according to the news release issued Oct. 20. This acquisition allows Sunshine Biopharma to expand its operations into generic prescription drugs and biosimilars. “The strategic acquisition of Nora Pharma significantly expands our revenue stream and is expected to generate multiyear top-line and bottom-line growth going forward,” Sunshine Biopharma CEO Steve Slilaty said. “This acquisition gives Sunshine a solid position in the generic prescription drugs industry and brings us closer to our objective of becoming a fully integrated pharma company.” Nora Pharma Founder and President said Sunshine will provide additional expertise that will help Nora with its accelerated growth plan to provide high-quality, affordable medicines to the Canadian market. Nora Pharma has 36 employees working at its 15,000-square-foot Health Canada-certified facility and offers over 50 pharmaceutical products, including generic prescription drugs, over-the-counter products and biosimilars. Nora Pharma and its service arm, which commercializes under the name Lea Solutions, will continue to operate without changes. “Nora Pharma will operate as a subsidiary of Sunshine Biopharma, with Mr. Chamoun as president,” Slilaty said. “We are happy to have the Nora employees join the Sunshine Biopharma family.” About Sunshine Biopharma Sunshine Biopharma (NASDAQ: SBFM) is a fully integrated pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines in a variety of therapeutic areas, including oncology and antivirals. In addition to working with the University of Arizona to develop a treatment for COVID-19, the company also develops Adva-27a, a unique anti-cancer compound. Sunshine Biopharma reports that tests conducted to date have demonstrated the effectiveness of Adva-27a at destroying multidrug-resistant cancer cells, including pancreatic, small-cell lung, breast and uterine sarcoma cancer cells. Clinical trials for pancreatic cancer indication will be conducted at McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada, the company said. Sunshine Biopharma is also engaged in developing a novel anti-cancer mRNA called K1.1. The company says the data collected to date has shown that K1.1 mRNA is capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro, including multidrug-resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR), ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (OVCAR-3) and pancreatic cancer cells (SUIT-2). Studies using nontransformed (normal) human cells (HMEC) have shown that K1.1 mRNA had little or no cytotoxic effects. K1.1 mRNA is readily adaptable for delivery to patients using the proven mRNA vaccine technology. Learn more about the company here.

Flu season has almost always been a predictable part of every winter, but the COVID-19 pandemic threw things out of whack. The 2020-2021 flu season was practically non-existent due to COVID-19 precautions and lockdowns, and last year’s flu season was definitely mild compared to pre-pandemic years. Recently, Best-Selling Author and Medical Contributor Dr. Ian Smith teamed up with Mucinex on a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the upcoming cold and flu season and some resources that can help. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/c4AY6pLO1kU Many health experts are predicting the 2022-2023 flu season will be a severe one, due to several factors. The main reason the flu basically disappeared the last two years was the behavior changes people made to avoid COVID – staying home, avoiding public gatherings, wearing masks, and not traveling. That also prevented the flu virus from spreading like usual. Those measures have been mostly abandoned – in addition, without the last two ‘flu seasons’ many individuals’ immunity to seasonal flu will be decreased. It is possible that we could see a higher rate of severe illness due to the flu this year. Many experts have looked to Australia, where flu season runs from April to September. They are just coming out their most devastating flu season in five years, which could be a precursor as to what we can expect to see in the U.S. The best way to prevent and limit the effects if you do contact the flu is to get vaccinated. It can take up to two weeks for the vaccine to be most effective after administration, and since the influenza virus is already circulating, it is best to do this as soon as possible. Key preventative measures like washing your hands often and covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and sneezing into your elbow if you don’t have a tissue can be extremely effective in preventing the spread of germs. If you do find yourself with flu-like symptoms, such as cough and congestion, there are options available to help you feel better and over-the-counter remedies are the first stop. While over-the-counter remedies don’t cure the flu virus, they can go a long way towards helping treat the symptoms. Dr. Ian’s go-to is Mucinex Extended-Release Tablets, because they are clinically proven to last up to 12 hours. As the #1 pharmacist recommended expectorant, Mucinex Extended-Release Tablets relieve chest congestion and thin and loosen mucus, which can provide relief for your chest congestion, making your cough more productive. People must use over-the-counter products as directed. If symptoms persist, you should contact your healthcare professional and get checked out if deemed necessary. You can find Mucinex online at Mucinex.com or stop by Walmart or your local pharmacy retailer. About Dr Ian Smith Dr. Ian Smith is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling books, SHRED: THE REVOLUTIONARY DIET, and SUPER SHRED: The Big Results Diet, and BLAST THE SUGAR OUT. Dr. Smith’s highly anticipated newest book, The Clean 20, became an instant New York Times best seller, helping hundreds of thousands of people reduce bad sugars from their diet, lose weight, lower blood sugar levels, and cut the cravings. Dr. Smith was appointed by President Obama to a second term on the prestigious President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. He is currently the medical contributor and co-host of the nationally syndicated television show The Rachael Ray Show. He is a former co-host of the Emmy award winning syndicated daytime talk show, The Doctors. He also served as the medical/diet expert for six seasons on VH1’s highly-rated Celebrity Fit Club, and is the creator and founder of the national health initiatives The 50 Million Pound Challenge and The Makeover Mile. Dr. Smith is the former medical correspondent for NBC News network and for NewsChannel 4 in New York, where he filed reports for NBC Nightly News and The Today Show as well as WNBC’s various news broadcasts. He has appeared extensively on various broadcasts including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, Dr. Oz, Steve Harvey Show, The Talk, Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN, MSNBC and many more. He has written for various publications including Time, Newsweek, Men’s Fitness, and the New York Daily News, and has been featured in several other publications including, People, Redbook, Details Magazine, Essence, Ebony, University of Chicago Medicine on the Midway, Cosmopolitan, and Black Enterprise.
