AUSTIN, Texas, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Quali, the Infrastructure Automation at Scale™ company, and BEACON RED, an EDGE Group Company that provides solutions to tackle complex national security threats, have entered into a relationship to provide cybersecurity and services for governments, military, and critical infrastructure projects in the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC). Under the terms of this partnership, BEACON RED and Quali will deliver a joint solution that enables customers to set up complex cyber range and interoperability testing scenarios for GCC area customers, which will strengthen cybersecurity support for critical deployments and management of secured environments.

“By integrating Quali CloudShell into our offering, what would have taken days or weeks to configure, now can happen with a touch of a button,” De Almeida continued. “Together, we will further enhance our mission to protect our national-security clients from increasingly complex and destructive cyberattacks. Our focus will be to prevent, disrupt, and withstand cyberattacks, increasing our clients’ ability to maintain operational resiliency.”

This agreement will help us to continue our extraordinary growth together.”

In addition, Middle East customers will now have access to Quali products through BEACON RED’s implementation team, providing safe and supported infrastructure deployments to address current threats, like cyberattacks and remote working conditions that make environments more prone to vulnerabilities. BEACON RED also employs one of the region’s most distinguished cybersecurity subject matter experts, who can deploy Quali software for cyber range and interoperability use cases.

WHR Group Releases Employee Relocation Benchmark Results

MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Group, Inc. (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, conducted a Global Mobility Benchmark study surveying some of the largest U.S. companies from a variety of industries. Findings shed light on how companies have changed their employee relocation policies, even during 2020 and a pandemic. Respondents included […]

Relocation benefits are still going strong even with the COVID-19 pandemic.
85% of companies offer some type of home sale benefit to transferees.
67% of respondents have experienced a talent shortage but include their mobility program in candidate recruitment strategies.
Lump sum benefits are trending but often used as a complement to basic relocation benefits versus a standalone benefit package.

Over 57% surveyed have an international relocation program, and 88% have expatriate or international permanent transfer policies. Over 50% found immigration laws to be the most challenging part of international relocations with Africa and Asia reported as the most challenging. For Africa, immigration laws and political climate were reported as creating the greatest challenges. For Asia, immigration laws and language barrier created the greatest challenges. Temporary housing; destination services and settling in; household goods; Visa and immigration assistance; and tax assistance are considered core benefits for international transfers and assignments.

Of the 68.5% offering destination closing costs, 76.5% don’t cap this benefit, even though capping the support is a way to control organizational costs. Most companies reported creating benefit packages based on the average transferee, not always considering individual cultures and family dynamics. This can lead to policy exception requests by employees.

Comparison of Advanced Aesthetic Technologies, Inc.’s 2.5% Agarose Gel with Hyaluronic Acid Filler for the Correction of Moderate to Severe Nasolabial Folds Reveals Equivalent Results

Results of Split-Face Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of 2.5% Agarose Gel Filler for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds Published in Peer Reviewed Journal BROOKLINE, Mass., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Advanced Aesthetic Technologies, Inc.

Results of Split-Face Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of 2.5% Agarose Gel Filler for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds Published in Peer Reviewed Journal

BROOKLINE, Mass., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Advanced Aesthetic Technologies, Inc. (AAT), a leader in aesthetic gel implant technology, is proud to announce that Algeness^® VL (2.5% Agarose Gel) demonstrated equivalent efficacy, safety, and usability compared to those of NASHA-L based on a split-face study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

“Agarose gel filler is a naturally occurring polymer gel with a three-dimensional structure similar to the extracellular matrix, which achieves its duration without the need for crosslinking. Our objective with this study of 66 patients was to determine the efficacy and safety of 2.5% agarose gel filler for the correction of nasolabial folds as compared with NASHA-L. Our assessments included assessment of the nasolabial fold (NLF), Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS), Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS [blinded investigator]), as well as subject satisfaction, adverse events, and usability,” according to lead investigator Nicolò Scuderi MD of the Department of General and Plastic Surgery at the University of La Sapienza, Rome, Italy.

Among the 66 participants in the study, 46 individuals or 66.7% were available for evaluation at 3 months, when mean change in WSRS was identical for both products (−1.1 ± 0.4 for 2.5% agarose; −1.1 ± 0.4 for NASHA-L). Scores for each product remained similar across all time points and began to return to baseline between 7 and 8 months. GAIS score followed a similar pattern, rising between months 7 and 8 (2.7 ± 0.6 for 2.5% agarose at month 7 and 3.3 ± 0.5 at month 8, vs. 2.7 ± 0.6 for NASHA-L at month 7-3.3 ± 0.5 at month 8). The longevity of both fillers was confirmed by Ultrasound. All adverse events were transient in nature and resolved within 15 days, most events were mild in nature, and the number and severity of events was similar between the two fillers. According to Dr. Scuderi, “We continue to be impressed with the clinical outcomes of the novel Algeness® range of dermal fillers. This is the first 100% natural, biocompatible and biodegradable filler on the market to date, which differentiates it from other injectable products.”

U.S. based investigator Brian Kinney, MD, FACS, Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, in Beverly Hills, CA, adds, “These results add to the growing body of evidence that confirms that Algeness® (2.5% agarose gel filler) has a high safety profile and is well tolerated by patients. We concluded that this unique dermal filler compound had a longevity which was equivalent to one of the most widely used fillers, NASHA-L a hyaluronic acid.”

Doug Abel, CEO of AAT commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of this important study which demonstrate that in this initial clinical study, the results with 2.5% agarose gel are equivalent to those of NASHA-L. This is another significant milestone demonstrating the efficacy and performance of our proprietary Algeness^® technology. This notable recognition from three internationally respected plastic surgeons reconfirms the durability of the Algeness^® technology and secures its place as a differentiator in the global dermal filler market. We have begun the process to pursue both US FDA approval for Algeness® and, through our strategic Partner, registration in China.”

Algeness^® is a patented family of fully resorbable injectable gel implant dermal fillers that are 100% natural, providing advantages in terms of safety, skin rejuvenation, and natural looking results both at rest and during facial movement. Typical clinical advantages include minimal swelling upon injection and immediately visible results. Algeness^® holds a CE Mark and is currently distributed in over 30 countries worldwide.

Our lead products, the Algeness^® family of injectable implants, are the culmination of more than 10 years of scientific and clinical research and were developed with the goal of providing aesthetic injectors advances in the ability to achieve deep structural support, clean definition, and exceptional clinical outcomes where the result at the time of treatment is the final outcome.

Blue California Opens New Possibilities in Functional Food and Beverages Following Dihydroquercetin (DHQ) GRAS Status

Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., May 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue California’s Taxifolin BC-DHQ® with super antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties is now Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in a range of foods and beverages following a letter of no objection from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Naturally found in a variety of fruits […]

Naturally found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), also known as taxifolin, is a flavonoid commonly found in apples, olive oil and red onions. As a flavonoid, taxifolin possesses powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may support immune health.

“This GRAS status is good news for consumers and brands alike, because it opens new doors for brands to create products that will excite health-conscious consumers,” said Dr. Linda May-Zhang, research, science and innovation officer at Blue California. “DHQ is a powerful antioxidant that has a greater antioxidant capacity when compared to vitamin C, and it is ideal in a variety of on-trend food applications, including beverages, yogurt and chocolate products.”

Health-conscious consumers are actively exploring new functional food and beverages for supporting immune health and wellness. Immune health will remain a top priority for consumers as 64% of global consumers are looking to improve their immunity over the next 12 months, reported by FMCG Gurus, Top Ten Trends for 2021, Dec. 2020.

DHQ seeks and neutralizes free radicals in the body, and its unique molecular structure makes it especially effective at preventing cellular damage. It can also play an important role in skin health since it protects cells and stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin.

“Taxifolin BC-DHQ has much to offer as a powerful antioxidant in food and beverages as it provides improved color stability for beverages, extends shelf life, and enhances flavor,” said May-Zhang. “Not only is DHQ regarded as a promising ingredient to immune health, it may also be used in cosmetic applications for anti-aging and UV-protection.”

Blue California offers food and beverage manufacturers its high purity Taxifolin BC-DHQ made by a sustainable process. Innovation partner Conagen developed a clean, reliable, and scalable DHQ using its proprietary bioconversion process, resulting in a sustainable production method.

“Conagen is unlocking novel compounds from nature which are more sustainable and offer better options for ingredient applications, said Dr. Casey Lippmeier, vice president of innovation at Conagen. “Our ability to rapidly scale-up and commercialize this and other novel ingredient solutions demonstrates our strength as a strategic service partner.”
