The ProSomnus device effectively positions the jaw forward during sleep, preventing airway collapse and addressing sleep apnea issues. Liptak emphasized the significance of the FDA clearance, which allows for insurance reimbursement and categorizes the ProSomnus device as a therapeutic solution for sleep apnea and snoring.

The company has a strong foundation of scientific data supporting the efficacy of its device. Financially, ProSomnus has reported record revenues and a remarkable 46% year-to-date growth, demonstrating its commitment to cost reduction and maintaining a robust bottom line.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals shared details of IND clearance for Phase 2 trial of TNX-2900

Tonix Pharmaceuticals

Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to delve into the significant development involving the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s clearance of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for TNX-2900. This innovative drug represents a proprietary magnesium-enhanced formulation of intranasal oxytocin, designed to address Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in children and adolescents. Dr Lederman was quick to highlight the importance of this milestone, noting that TNX-2900 had already been granted Orphan Drug designation by the FDA back in 2022. The IND clearance paves the way for a crucial Phase 2 study, aimed at determining the optimal dosage for TNX-2900 in treating PWS. This study will involve approximately 36 PWS patients, thoughtfully divided into four distinct groups, each comprising around nine patients. Within these groups, one will receive a placebo, while the remaining three will be administered varying dosage regimens of TNX-2900. Tonix Pharmaceuticals' strategic plan includes the intention to collaborate with a partner to further advance TNX-2900 through its clinical development for PWS. This collaborative effort underscores the commitment to addressing a pressing medical need, as PWS stands out as the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity. Importantly, PWS affects both males and females equally, spanning all races and ethnicities. This complex syndrome arises due to the absence of expression of specific genes located on the paternally acquired chromosome 15. In essence, this groundbreaking development in the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of better outcomes for children and adolescents grappling with this challenging condition, demonstrating Tonix Pharmaceuticals' dedication to advancing medical science and improving the lives of those affected by rare diseases.

Professor David Nutt presents his insights into psychedelic medicine - Neural Therapeutics

Neural Therapeutics Inc.

Neural Therapeutics Scientific Advisory Board Member Professor David Nutt presents fascinating insights into psychedelic medicine and its potential uses. His pioneering research, influencing Australia's adoption of psychedelic medicines, underscores a pivotal moment in mental health care. Nutt highlighted the historical journey of psychedelics, from widespread research in the 1950s and 60s to their banning due to misperceptions about safety and efficacy. This ban, tied to political motives, stifled research for decades. Recent studies, however, have rekindled interest, demonstrating the low harm and high efficacy of psychedelics compared to other substances, particularly in clinical settings. Professor Nutt's work reveals significant breakthroughs in treating conditions like treatment-resistant depression, addiction, and alcoholism using psychedelics like psilocybin and mescaline. His team's studies show unprecedented success rates, often with just a single dose, offering hope for those with chronic mental health issues. These findings are supported by neuroimaging studies that illustrate how psychedelics promote neuroplasticity, enabling the brain to forge new, healthier thought patterns. This revival of psychedelic research marks a revolution in mental health treatment, offering new pathways for those who have not benefited from traditional therapies. The Australian regulatory body's recent approval of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression exemplifies this shift. Nutt's presentation, a blend of historical context, scientific evidence, and a call for compassionate use, heralds a new era in mental health care, emphasizing the potential of psychedelics to transform lives. For further reading, Nutt recommends his co-edited book on psychedelics in psychiatry and a forthcoming book for the general public. The presentation is introduced by Neural Therapeutics CEO and Director Ian Campbell. Neural Therapeutics is a drug-discovery company focusing on plant-based active substances with the goal of delivering beneficial, over-the-counter dietary supplements and psychedelic-based therapeutic medicines to treat serious mental ailments where no significant treatment is available today.

New Report Highlights Weight Stigma in Media and Calls for Change

Media Empathy Foundation

A new national survey conducted for the Media Empathy Foundation sheds light on pervasive weight stigma in media, revealing that individuals with higher body weight perceive negative stereotypes, body shaming, weight blaming and exclusion from leading roles in TV and other forms of media. The report, titled “Weight Stigma and Media: Assessing the Impact”, draws attention to harmful impact and emphasizes the need for more inclusive and respectful representations across all channels. The study surveyed more than 1,200 U.S. adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, a demographic that accounts for 42% of American adults within the range of obesity according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The findings reveal a concerning pattern of problematic media portrayals with potentially detrimental consequences and underscores the need for consistent, compassionate, and accurate representation of individuals with higher body weight in media. The findings were discussed by a panel of leaders in media (Deborah Roberts, Al Roker and David Sloan) and academia (Rebecca Puhl, PhD and Holly Lofton, MD) at the Edge in NYC. “Weight stigma in the media exists in both blatant and subtle ways, reinforcing harmful attitudes and societal weight bias of people with higher body weight. There is a clear need for more respectful and compassionate media portrayals of people of diverse body sizes,” said Rebecca Puhl, PhD, Deputy Director for the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Health and Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Connecticut. Key findings from the report include: High Prevalence: Most respondents assert that social media (73%), TV shows and movies (65%) and TV news (55%) often or sometimes perpetuate negative stereotypes about individuals with higher body weight. Only a small minority (5% or less) feel that this never happens. Health News Stereotyping: Respondents say that health news reports tend to blame people for their weight (70%) and suggest that all people with higher body weight are unhealthy (79%). Terminology Matters: A notable 88% of those surveyed find the term “fat” to be offensive or inappropriate, more so than “morbidly obese”, while “plus-size” and “overweight” are seen as appropriate by more than half. Negative Personal Impact: One in three respondents report that media portrayals have made them feel disrespected, with about as many reporting negative effects on their body image and self-esteem. One in four report negative effects on their mental health. Desired Change: Respondents are calling on creators to focus on character attributes beyond body type and to eliminate weight-based stereotypes, humor, or derogatory portrayals, advocating for more inclusive roles and realistic character development, as well as emphasizing health and wellness without resorting to shaming. Holly Lofton, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Surgery and Director of the Medical Weight Management Program at NYU Langone Health added, “It’s important that health news media more consistently report on the complex causes of obesity rather than assuming it’s the result of poor willpower or self-discipline.” “The media industry shapes the way we think and has the power to create a more aware and supportive culture for people with higher body weight,” said Helene Ellison, Founder and President of the Media Empathy Foundation. “That’s our hope in bringing weight stigma to the forefront.” The report was produced for the Media Empathy Foundation by Langer Research Associates and was made possible thanks to the support of Novo Nordisk Inc.
