Blind Review and PathPresenter Partner to Eliminate Expert Witness Bias in Pathology Malpractice Cases

PathPresenter

Blind Review, LLC, the secure digital platform for eliminating expert witness bias, and PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, today announced a strategic partnership ushering digital pathology into the medical malpractice space. This alliance will revolutionize how pathology expert reviews are conducted in malpractice cases, transforming it from the old-school, glass-slide model to a cutting-edge, digital model that increases efficiency, streamlines access, and simplifies the traditional pathology review. Blind Review specializes in removing hindsight, financial, and party-identity bias from expert witnesses through a proprietary digital platform and customized process. Once onboarded to the platform, experts are digitally placed into the shoes of the treating physician. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Importantly, the process prevents the expert from knowing what comes next without first committing to an opinion based only on the records available at that point in the care – eliminating hindsight bias. PathPresenter is a secure and scalable multi-tenant enterprise pathology workflow platform that has been developed by pathologists with deep domain knowledge and experience. Trusted by over 45 tier-one medical institutions, PathPresenter is the most comprehensive image management/viewing suite available for clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research. Pathologists play a critical role in reviewing medical malpractice cases for disease diagnosis or when timing of an injury or cause of death is in question. PathPresenter has taken the desktop microscope and transformed it into a state-of-the-art digital viewer that pathologists can access anytime, anywhere to review microscopic evidence in a legal case. Utilizing PathPresenter’s cloud-based, clinical consultation platform, Blind Review’s proprietary process is far more efficient and eliminates the risks and limitations that come with glass slides. “Juror’s trust in experts has fallen to levels below where they were before the pandemic, and we continue to see very large, unexpected verdicts,” says Blind Review’s CEO and attorney-founder, Stephanie Franckewitz. “Independent research supports that a blinded expert doubles the chances of a favorable verdict because jurors perceive them as significantly more credible. We are proud to partner with PathPresenter, and we are in good company, as many of the world’s elite medical institutions use PathPresenter on a day-to-day basis in their pathology departments.” “PathPresenter’s partnership with Blind Review brings the practice of expert pathology review within the medical malpractice space into the 21st century,” adds Patrick Myles CEO of PathPresenter. “Whether in the courtroom or in the pathology lab, expert opinion is all about trust. By partnering with Blind Review, we’re enabling a never-before-seen way to restore jurors’ trust in experts.” About Blind Review, LLC Blind Review is the digital platform that provides the infrastructure to eliminate expert witness bias in medical malpractice cases. We deliver a strong competitive advantage to the trial teams who share our vision: Unbiased, reliable, and trustworthy expert opinions. Blind Review digitally places the expert into the shoes of the treating healthcare provider. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Simple and intuitive, our cloud-based interface allows robust customization, with the ability to deliver our unique Blind Review process across multiple specialties within a single case. Blind Review’s platform includes seamless integration with a secure cloud-based Radiology PACS system and Digital Pathology system, with state-of-the-art viewers.

Centre for Neuro Skills Promotes Dr. Stefanie Howell to Director of Research Integration

Centre for Neuro Skills

Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a leader in traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation services, today announced the promotion of Stefanie N. Howell, Ph.D., CBIS, to director of research integration. “Stefanie has been integral to Centre for Neuro Skills’ research program, looking closely at how we can not only improve the lives of our patients but people with brain injuries everywhere,” said David Harrington, president and CEO of Centre for Neuro Skills. “I’m excited to see the outcomes of our research efforts and how this can give us new insight into improving patient care. Since joining CNS in 2016, Howell has coordinated and designed clinical research studies, written manuscripts and provided education focused on methods for facilitating recovery and maximizing patient outcomes. Howell was promoted to Senior Neuroscientist in 2022 and now oversees the integration of CNS’ original research to expand understanding of brain injury, its causes and best treatment practices in the clinical setting. CNS’ ongoing research includes: Effects of Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Stroke CNS researchers evaluate the durability of outcomes obtained during post-acute rehabilitation following stroke and TBI. This will also determine if rehabilitation outcome is associated with future occupational status, life quality, cognitive function, and overall health, including rehospitalization. Traumatic Brain Injury and the Gut Microbiome Years after a brain injury, some individuals develop a complex set of conditions that prevent them from absorbing essential amino acids. The purpose of this study is to determine if altering the diet in these individuals can change their amino acid absorption and reduce symptoms and markers of neuroinflammation. Effects Of Aerobic Exercise and Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury Exercise contributes to overall health and protects and heals the brain, but the response to exercise may change after a brain injury. Through examining exercise and how it facilitates recovery, CNS hopes to determine the individual response to exercise (and how it has changed), in order to better tailor therapy to each person. Outcome Biomarkers After Brain Injury Patients consent to providing biological samples to help identify biomarkers in blood, saliva, and other tissues that will help CNS increase diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, tailor patient care and determine how much treatment is necessary. This study will allow clinicians to foresee potential risks that may inhibit recovery and aid intervention effectiveness, allowing CNS to better evaluate current and novel therapeutic interventions. Sleep Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Sleep-wake disturbances have been identified in up to 80% of those with brain injuries. Sleep problems are linked to impaired attention, decreased cognitive functioning (including memory and attention) and overall diminished response to rehabilitation. This study will determine the nature of sleep-wake disturbances post injury. Researchers may then identify whether disturbances are related to the type, location, or time since the injury, as well as the impact sleep has on outcome and responsiveness to rehabilitation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Following Traumatic Brain Injury This is a noninvasive technique of neurostimulation, which uses low amplitude direct current to alter brain cell firing. Studies suggest that tDCS is a painless technique for electrically stimulating the brain with almost no risk of harm. This form of therapy has been studied as a treatment modality for stroke patients but there is less evidence in literature for effectiveness in treating traumatic brain injury. This project will analyze the effects of a three-week program of tDCS on motor recovery and attention/concentration in individuals following a traumatic brain injury.

NeuroOne Medical Technologies' (NASDAQ: NMTC) Innovative Brain Monitoring Tech Developing And Commercializing Electrodes

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to neurological diseases, epilepsy is among the most common worldwide. At last check, about 50 million people suffer from this chronic non-communicable disease, with close to 80% living in low to middle-income countries. The risk of premature death among epilepsy patients is as much as three times higher than non-suffers. There are treatments for the seizures experienced by patients – 28 FDA-approved drugs at last count – but they don’t work for everyone. About one-third require surgery. It is those patients and others suffering from neurological disorders that Minnesota-based NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corp.(NASDAQ: NMTC) is targeting with its medical technology. The company designs and manufactures high-definition, minimally invasive thin film electrodes which are used for intracranial monitoring. The electrodes are implanted inside the skull to record brain activity. That data helps surgeons better locate and remove the brain tissue causing seizures without impacting the rest of the brain. NeuroOne’s electrodes are intended to diagnose and treat several neurological conditions including epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremors. The company believes it has an edge over the current electrodes in application because they are thin, flexible and less bulky. Better Than The Original? NeuroOne’s Evo Cortical Electrode portfolio consists of various configurations of strips and grid electrodes, which are made with thin polyimide film — which, in a study by the Mayo Clinic, demonstrated reduced inflammation to the brain versus traditional silicone electrodes as the material is flexible, thin and weighs less. The electrodes are cleared by the FDA for recording, stimulation and monitoring of brain activity for less than 30 days. With the technology, doctors can identify the right foci zones to determine the best treatment for patients. The company says its technology provides new options for surgical placement and potentially smaller incisions, lower inflammation compared to the bulky electrodes on the market, and also enables the pairing of diagnosis and therapeutics in one offering unlike other competitive technologies. With proven placement accuracy and enhanced signal quality, physicians can capture the vital data they need to support more confident diagnoses, according to NeuroOne. NeuroOne is among a handful of medical technology companies that are taking novel approaches to treating brain diseases. Aneuvas Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ATITK) is one example. It's developing new technology to fill and heal aneurysms. Hong Kong-listed MicroPort NeuroTech Ltd. is another example, working on technology to help doctors overcome potential issues during hemorrhagic strokes. Meanwhile ORSIM develops a specialist flexible bronchoscope simulator to help train and support anesthesiologists. NeuroOne pegs its market opportunity at $100 million for diagnostic use. Other markets the company is looking to enter including ablation, drug delivery and spinal cord stimulation for back pain are already generating revenue in the billions of dollars. Future Applications On The Horizon The company recently received clearance from the FDA to use an sEEG electrode to record electrical activity in the brain for less than 30 days but also to ablate brain tissue in an effort to reduce or eliminate a patient’s seizure activity using the same device. This will hopefully reduce the number of surgeries and hospitalizations a patient has to experience. This system has the potential to ablate nervous tissue in other areas of the body. NeuroOne has already commented that they will pursue additional applications, starting with facial pain. In addition, the company has commented that they are developing a drug delivery electrode that can monitor the electrical activity of the brain after delivery of the drug or gene therapy. This technology could also be helpful for pharmaceutical and biotech companies in helping identify in the early phases of development if the therapy shows efficacy. This could save the company millions of dollars in development and clinical study costs earlier in the development process. In addition, NeuroOne is also expanding its efforts into spinal cord stimulation for chronic back pain, last year announcing it successfully completed an animal implant of its novel thin film paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation. The devices are intended for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgery syndrome and intractable low back and leg pain. NeuroOne reports that results demonstrated the feasibility of the placement of a thin film paddle lead intended to treat chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgeries. The company said more testing would be completed to optimize the design and placement. The company is also developing a percutaneous (through a needle) paddle lead placement system which would eliminate the need for an incision in the patient's back. The preliminary benchtop testing for this percutaneous approach has also been successfully completed. In January, NeuroOne presented a poster on pre-clinical experience with thin-film paddle leads at the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS). Millions of people suffer from epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremors and other neurological disorders, yet the treatments today largely fall short. NeuroOne is committed to changing that with its minimally invasive approach. It hopes its innovations will not only transform the treatment of brain diseases but also enhance patient outcomes, reduce procedural invasiveness and streamline diagnostic and therapeutic processes for patients around the globe.

ImmuPharma CEO Tim McCarthy discusses financial stability and promising drug developments

ImmuPharma PLC

ImmuPharma PLC (AIM:IMM) chief executive Tim McCarthy provides an extensive update during an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, focusing on the financial, business, and portfolio developments of the company. McCarthy clarified that the company is in a strong financial position, dismissing rumours of needing a highly dilutive fundraising. He emphasized that ImmuPharma has sufficient funding for its needs, supported by a business model reliant on developing drugs to a stage attractive to larger pharmaceutical companies for further development and market introduction. This strategy, according to McCarthy, is expected to generate non-dilutive upfront payments and royalties from licensing agreements, particularly for their P140 platform focused on autoimmune diseases like lupus and CIDP (Chronic Idiopathic Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). McCarthy detailed progress on the lupus program, including changes to their clinical study approach and discussions with the FDA, highlighting the uniqueness of their molecule's mechanism of action. This uniqueness, McCarthy pointed out, has garnered interest from big pharma, distinguishing their lupus treatment from others that failed due to efficacy or side effects issues. Moreover, he announced advancements in the CIDP program and the company's intention to achieve orphan drug designation for it, promising significant market potential despite its smaller patient population compared to lupus. The CEO also touched on an early-stage anti-infective program, underscoring the evolution of ImmuPharma's drug portfolio over the last two and a half years under his leadership. This transformation involved corporate restructuring, significant cost reductions, and strategic focus on developing a diversified drug portfolio. McCarthy concluded by affirming the company's position as substantially undervalued based on its developmental and financial assets, particularly highlighting a major interest in the oncology company Incanthera, which recently secured a substantial commercial deal with AS Watson.

Immunic to reveal promising MS treatment data in two poster presentations at ACTRIMS Forum 2024

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc CEO Dr Daniel Vitt joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of data from the Phase 2 CALLIPER and CALVID-1 trials of vidofludimus calcium the company will present at the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) Forum 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida, from today. Vitt highlighted the significant potential of the drug in treating multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly in relation to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. The CALLIPER study focuses on the effects of 45 milligrams of vidofludimus calcium in patients with progressive MS, emphasising the importance of progression independent of relapse activity. October's interim biomarker data, specifically neurofilament light chain (NFL), which is related to neuronal death, was mentioned as a key aspect of the first poster. This data aims to correlate NFL reduction with the likelihood of future disability outcomes in progressive MS patients. The overlap between the CALLIPER study and the Phase 2 CALVID-1 trial, outlined in the second poster, explores the role of EBV reactivation in MS and fatigue symptoms. Vidofludimus calcium's potential to prevent EBV reactivation and reduce fatigue in MS patients is a significant finding, with implications for post-COVID syndrome as well. The CALVID-1 study also examined Vidofludimus calcium's effects on fatigue in patients treated for SARS-CoV-2, revealing a positive impact. Presenting at the ACTRIMS Forum 2024, an important scientific conference for MS research, underscores the relevance and potential impact of Immunic Inc's findings in the MS and broader medical communities.
