BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The following article is provided by Zach Bartscherer and Courtney Durham Shane, senior officers at The Pew Charitable Trusts, where they work on the energy modernization project.

Key Points: 
  • Louisiana, long known as a major U.S. energy producer, is looking to extend that reputation well into the 21st century by nurturing a growing industry with immense economic potential: offshore wind.
  • In meetings and presentations in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, the group discussed the transformative potential of the offshore wind industry in Louisiana, including by spotlighting companies in the state with the expertise and capabilities to supply the components and services needed to harness offshore wind.
  • The domestic offshore wind industry has more than two dozen active offshore wind leases in federal waters, which means more chances for state and regional companies to supply the goods and services necessary to build them out.
  • Louisiana Wind Energy Week also marked the kickoff for the state's offshore wind supply chain study, a comprehensive review of the state's potential to capitalize on its supply chain advantages and further advance its involvement with the industry.

Atropos Health Redefines Data Quality With Two Scoring Metrics, Bridging The Gap For Transparent Evaluation of Data Use In Evidence and Prediction Generation

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

Existing literature identifies two gaps in data grading: the need for quantitative data grading scores and scoring mechanisms that can be run in an automated fashion and at scale.

Key Points: 
  • Existing literature identifies two gaps in data grading: the need for quantitative data grading scores and scoring mechanisms that can be run in an automated fashion and at scale.
  • Atropos Health solves this with its transparent methodology:
    The RWDS rates a dataset's overall quality and completeness across a range of metrics.
  • Atropos Health provides both RWDS and RWFS/FitQ to guide users to appropriate data sources for analysis.
  • Across the growing Atropos Evidence™ Network, users can now evaluate which dataset may be most appropriate for their given query.

One of NZ’s most contentious climate cases is moving forward. And the world is watching

Retrieved on: 
Monday, February 12, 2024

The Supreme Court overturned lower court rulings which had struck out Smith’s ambitious claim seeking to establish civil (tort) liability for those emitters’ contributions to climate change.

Key Points: 
  • The Supreme Court overturned lower court rulings which had struck out Smith’s ambitious claim seeking to establish civil (tort) liability for those emitters’ contributions to climate change.
  • With the Supreme Court decision, Smith has won the right to present his full case before the High Court.

The case against the corporate emitters

  • Smith argued the activities and effects of the corporate defendants amount to three forms of “tort” or civil wrong: public nuisance, negligence, and a new form of civil wrong described as a “proposed climate system damage tort”.
  • Read more:
    Children's climate change case at the European Court of Human Rights: what's at stake?
  • The first two causes of action – public nuisance and negligence – have long lineages in the common law.
  • A key plank of the corporate emitters’ argument was that the courts “are ill-suited to deal with a systemic problem of this nature with all the complexity entailed”.

The challenges of establishing causation

  • Questions of causation and proximity have been stumbling blocks for litigants overseas attempting to bring similar tort claims to Smith’s.
  • In this case, the seven corporate emitters are associated with around 30% of total New Zealand emissions.
  • The court suggested that there may be scope for adjusting the causation rules to better reflect the nature of modern environmental issues like climate change.

What role for tikanga and where now?

  • Recent Supreme Court decisions have accepted and applied tikanga as the “first law of New Zealand” including in relation to environmental protection.
  • The Court followed that approach in this case, accepting that crucial aspects of Smith’s case rely on tikanga principles.
  • The court pronounced that “addressing and assessing matters of tikanga simply cannot be avoided”.

Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. Announces Alignment with FDA on Registrational Program for Treatment of Stroke Patients

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 6, 2024

NEWTOWN, Pa., Feb. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HSDT) (“Helius” or the “Company”), a neurotech company focused on delivering a novel therapeutic neuromodulation approach for balance and gait deficits, announced today that it has concluded its interaction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on optimizing the development plan for its stroke program which aims to evaluate the effects of cranial-nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (“CN-NINM”) delivered using PoNS Therapy® on gait and dynamic balance in chronic stroke survivors. Helius’ registrational program includes two controlled studies. The clinical program will leverage a randomized, controlled, double blinded investigator-initiated trial (“IIT”), led by Dr. Steven Kautz at the Medical University of South Carolina (“MUSC”) and a Company-sponsored study to enroll approximately 100 subjects. Dr. Kautz’s IIT began enrollment of 60 participants in September 2023 with the collaboration of Dr. Mark Bowden at Brooks Rehabilitation as a second site.

Key Points: 
  • “Vetting the registrational program and design of our clinical studies with the FDA is an important milestone for Helius and meeting the agency’s expectations will give us the most efficient path to delivering PoNS Therapy to stroke patients,” said Dr. Antonella Favit-Van Pelt, Helius’ Chief Medical Officer.
  • Across all stroke patients in the database, 69.2% of patients experienced at least a 5-point FGA improvement, which is larger than the 4.2-point minimal detectable change usually seen in stroke patients.
  • “One of our chief objectives is to optimize access to PoNS Therapy for stroke patients suffering from gait and balance deficit in North America.
  • PoNS received breakthrough designations in both multiple sclerosis and stroke in the United States, potentially benefiting, with a new indication, an estimated 90% of stroke patients who are covered by Medicare.
