Claustrophobia

• TULSA is a “one-and-done” procedure, performed in a single session that takes a few hours, and no hospital stay is required.
• At less than 7,700 Lbs and 80 inches high, MAGNETOM Free.Max is the most lightweight, compact whole-body scanner ever offered by Siemens Healthineers.
• I commend the teams at Siemens Healthineers and Profound as they work to achieve the convergence of their respective diagnostic and interventional MR technologies.
• We look forward to collaborating with Profound to help expand access to TULSA as well.

• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterised by a narrowing or obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, which interrupts breathing resulting in decreased oxygen uptake and poor sleep quality.
• Incannex has designed IHL-42X, a combination of dronabinol (synthetic THC) and acetazolamide, for treatment of OSA.
• A video presentation of IHL-42X for the treatment of OSA has been uploaded to the Incannex website, link here: https://www.incannex.com/clinical-trail/ihl-42x-osa/ .
• This gave Incannex the confidence to proceed with a multisite Phase 2/3 clinical trial further investigating safety and efficacy of IHL-42X in patients with OSA.

• When that happens, Israeli troops will begin a dangerous new phase of the military campaign against Hamas fighters in a densely populated urban terrain that includes closely packed buildings above ground and a troubling maze of tunnels below.
• But on Oct. 29, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces said its troops had attacked Hamas gunmen in a tunnel and killed Hamas fighters who emerged from a tunnel to attack their positions in northwest Gaza.
• And on Nov. 5, 2023, Israel reported that three Hamas fighters emerged from a hidden tunnel and ambushed Israeli troops behind what its forces had thought were the front lines.

Hamas plans a trap below ground

• From news reports, researchers and both Israeli and Hamas sources, it seems clear that Hamas has systematically built a complex underground city fortified with strong defenses beneath Gaza.
• Hamas fighters have reportedly lined the tunnels with transport rails to move rockets to locations where they can be launched from firing pads concealed by trap doors.
• Even if only some of those claims are true, it is clear that Hamas has built a formidable subterranean fortress beneath Gaza City that is meant to be a trap for the Israelis as well as a refuge for Hamas.

Israel’s plans to defeat the tunnel fortress

• In 2013, for example, Israeli troops unearthed a particularly large invasion tunnel that began nearly three-quarters of a mile (1 km) inside the Gaza border, and was 72 feet (22 meters) deep.
• It burrowed under the border wall and was detected nearly 60 feet (18 meters) below the surface 1,000 feet (300 meters) inside Israel.
• In 2014, Israeli troops fought underground during a 51-day ground invasion of Gaza waged to destroy some of the tunnels.
• During that campaign, Israeli troops were surprised by the requirements of tunnel warfare, according to an analysis by the Rand Corporation think tank.
• The Samur unit has been working for years to develop sensors that can detect underground tunnels, booby traps and explosives.
