With a third of its capital deployed, Risk & Return is transforming how we think about emergency response – TechCrunch

Posted: April 27, 2021 at 6:07 am

Disasters are, unfortunately, a growth business, and the frontlines that were once distant have moved much closer to home. Wildfires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes let alone a pandemic has forced much of the United States and increasingly large swaths of the world to confront a new reality: few places are existentially secure.

How we respond to crises can radically adjust the ledger of mortality for the people slammed by these catastrophes. Good information, fast response and strong execution can mean the difference between life and death. Yet, frontline workers often cant get the tools and training they need, particularly new innovations that may not wind their way easily through the government supply chain. Perhaps most importantly, they often need post-traumatic care far after a disaster his dissipated.

Risk & Return is a unique venture fund and philanthropic hybrid that has set its mission to seek and finance the next-generation of technologies to help first responders not only on the frontlines, but even after as they confront the strains both physical and mental from missions they undertake.

The family of organizations sees a spectrum from emergency workers in the United States to U.S. military veterans, all of whom share similar challenges and need solutions today solutions that can often be hard to finance for traditional VCs who arent aware of the unique needs of this community.

The group was founded by Robert Nelsen, who made his name as a co-founder and managing director of biotech VC leader ARCH Venture Partners, which last year announced a $1.5 billion pair of funds. Hes joined by board chairman Bob Kerrey, the former co-chair of the 9/11 Commission as well as former governor and senator of Nebraska, and managing director Jeff Eggers, a Navy SEAL who served as senior director of Afghanistan and Pakistan on President Barack Obamas National Security Council.

Nelsen had been thinking through the idea when he met Kerrey, who recalled the conversation happening during a fundraising event for Navy SEALs. There has been a lot of suffering for those who have been on the frontlines, Kerrey said. Bob had this idea, and I thought it was a really smart idea, to try to take a different approach to philanthropic efforts. They linked up with Eggers and the trio brought Risk & Return to fruition.

The venture fund is $25 million, with about 35% of it already deployed. The fund has had a big emphasis on mental health for first responders, with 75% of the companies funded broadly in that category.

The funds first investment was into Alto Neuroscience, which is developing precision medicine tools to treat post-traumatic stress. The fund has also invested in behavioral management startup NeuroFlow; alternative well-being assessment tool Qntfy; Spear Human Performance, which is a brand-new spinout focused on connecting commercial and health data sources to optimize human performance; and Xtremity, which is designing better connection sockets for prosthetics. The fund has invested in another six startups, including Perimeter, which I profiled a few weeks ago.

This isnt your typical venture portfolio, and thats exactly what Risk & Return wants to focus on. Eggers said that We love that type of technology since it has that dual purpose: going to serve the first responder on the ground, but the community is also going to benefit.

While many of the startups the firm has invested in obviously have a focus on first responders, the technologies they develop dont have to be limited to just that market. Kerrey noted that Every veteran is a civilian, [and] these arent businesses targeting the military market. Given the last year, its hard to find a human being in this pandemic that hasnt suffered at least some PTSD, referencing post-traumatic stress disorder. Sales to governments can be incredibly challenging, and the ultimate market for the kinds of specialized mental health services that frontline workers need may not be as commercially viable as one would hope.

While the government does research and innovation in this category, Kerrey sees a huge opportunity for the private sector to get more involved. One thing that you could do in the private sector that is difficult in the public sector is look for alternative therapies for PTSD, he said, noting that areas like psychedelics have intrigued the private sector even while the government would mostly not touch the category today. Risk & Return has not made an investment in that space at this time though.

Half of the returns from the fund will stream into Risk & Returns philanthropic arm, which writes grants to charities along the same thesis of aiding frontline workers both on the job and after it. The organizations hope that by approaching the complicated response space with a multi-pronged approach, they can match potential needs with different sources of capital that are most appropriate.

Weve increasingly seen this hybrid for-profit/nonprofit venture model in other areas. Norrsken is a Swedish foundation and venture fund that is investing in areas like mental health, climate change and other categories from the UN Sustainable Development Goals. MIT Solve is another program that is working on hybrid approaches to startup innovation, such as in pandemics and health security. While disasters are always looming, its great to see more innovation in financing this critical category of technology, such as in pandemics and health security.

Just like Ministers, MLAs and bureaucrats, boost your immunity with this alternative medicine – Asianet Newsable

Posted: at 6:07 am

Karnataka Ayush department has announced supply of its dependable medicine, Araq Ajeeb, an Unani medicine in boosting immunity to fight against Covid-19.

As per Mohammed Rafi Hakim, District Ayush Officer, Bengaluru, the medicine that comes in liquid form is being supplied to Ministers, MPs, MLAs and bureaucrats through all Ayush Hospitals across Karnataka. The medicine helps in clearing congestion and phlegm from the chest and helps in increasing oxygen levels.

It has to be applied on the forehead, add a drop in hot milk or tea and can be applied on the face mask too for prevention of infection and boosting immunity.

The medicine was used during the H1N1 spike earlier and as per Dr Hakim, there was a lot of improvement then and now that Covid is there, the same is being supplied as an additional medicine. Due to its characteristics of clearing congestion and bettering breathing, it is called a 'pocket ventilator' among Unani circles.

COVID-19 Information: Can nebuliser be used as an alternative to oxygen cylinder and concentrator? Know here – Jagran English

Posted: at 6:07 am

Nebuliser is a machine that helps a patient to inhale the medication in the form of mist and that is inhaled to the lungs. This device is generally used for asthmatic patients and those who have respiratory disease. Read on to know more.

New Delhi| Jagran Health Desk: Due to the massive spike in coronavirus cases, the country has been facing a shortage of liquid medical oxygen for COVID-19 patients. Social media is flooded with messages of people requesting oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators for their friends and family. However, amidst this, a video is doing rounds on the internet in which a young doctor from Faridabad's Sarvoday Hospital is claiming that an empty nebuliser can boost the oxygen levels in COVID19 patients and can be used as an alternative to oxygen concentrators and cylinders.

As soon as the video went viral, many doctors came forward and refuted Dr Alok's claim. Even, Sarvodaya Hospital did not back the doctor's claim and said that the video is in no way endorsed by Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad.

In the viral video, Dr Alok said that he can't see people doing anything and everything for oxygen cylinders and he just can't see it, thus to help people he has a simple trick that people can use. He further said, "this is my nebuliser machine, and we don't need to add anything to it, all you need to do is to connect it and wear it and you just need to sit and you will be able to get oxygen from the air. Adding further to it, he said, "don't put your life in danger by rushing for oxygen cylinders, stay at home, Thank you."

After the video went viral, many doctors started commenting on it and they refuted his claim. Dr Aviral Vatsa of the National Health Service, Scotland said, "A nebuliser provides nebules of the medicine and pushes them a bit. It cannot fulfil the oxygen requirement. In fact, at times, you need to connect it to oxygen."

Dr Arvinder Singh Soin, Group Chairman, Liver Transplantation at Medanata said, "The video demonstrating a purported technique that can substitute a nebulizer machine for an oxygen cylinder to improve blood oxygen levels is totally baseless. It should be discredited."

Later, Dr Alok released yet another video in which he apologised for sharing the video and said that a nebuliser is not an alternative for an oxygen cylinder or concentrators. Adding further to it, Dr Alok said that he wanted to convey some other message but he couldn't frame it well."

What is Nebuliser?

Nebuliser is a machine that helps a patient to inhale the medication in the form of mist and that is inhaled to the lungs. This device is generally used for asthmatic patients and those who have respiratory disease.

Riociguat May Be Useful Alternative to PDE5i Therapy in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension – Pulmonology Advisor

Posted: at 6:07 am

Riociguat may be a useful option for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in whom phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) treatment is insufficient, according to the results of a recent study published in the journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

Researchers evaluated clinical improvement, defined as an absence of clinical worsening and prespecified improvements in at least 2 of 3 variables, in patients with symptomatic PAH at intermediate risk for 1-year mortality in the REPLACE open-label, randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02891850). Patients were randomly assigned to either remain on PDE5i treatment or switch to riociguat therapy. The 3 variables for clinical improvement were 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), World Health Organization (WHO) functional class, and levels of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

Among the 293 patients screened, 226 met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled as study participants. Of these 226 individuals, 211 completed the study (104 in the riociguat group and 107 to the PDE5i group). An absence of clinical worsening was seen in 41% of patients in the riociguat group and 20% of patients in the PDE5-i treatment group. Furthermore, clinical worsening events occurred in 1% of patients in the riociguat group and 9% of patients in the PDE5i treatment group.

Continue Reading

From baseline to 24 weeks, riociguat improved mean 6MWD, from 374 meters to 410 meters while PDE5i therapy improved 6MWD to a lesser extent, from 367 meters to 381 meters (mean treatment difference, 23 m; P =.054). Improvements in WHO functional class were also reported in patients treated with riociguat compared with patients treated with PDE5i therapy (mean difference, -0.26; P =.0007).

The most frequently reported adverse event was hypotension, followed by headache and dyspepsia. A total of 7% (n=8) and 17% (n=19) of patients in the riociguat and PDE5i groups experienced serious adverse events. In addition, 4 patients in the PDE5i group died during the study.

Switching to riociguat from PDE5i treatment, both of which act via the nitric oxidesoluble guanylate cyclasecyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway, could be a strategic option for treatment escalation in patients with PAH at intermediate risk of 1-year mortality, the study authors.

Years Later, the Decision to Walk Away from Aromatase Inhibitors Has Worked for Me – Curetoday.com

Posted: at 6:07 am

Four years ago, I wrote a post about my choice to walk away from aromatase inhibitors. The piece received a lot of attention from those in the cancer community. I was surprised at some of the emails and Facebook messages the post prompted. Some were outraged at my willingness to go against medical advice while others were intrigued at the decision and asked for more information.

By the outpouring of interest, I knew it had struck a nerve with those fighting breast cancer and thats exactly what I intended to do.

I was post-menopausal when diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, I was stage 2b invasive ductal carcinoma with metastasis to the lymph glands. The first course of action would be to remove my breasts and the involved lymph nodes. After surgery, I met with the oncologist to discuss the recommended treatment plan. He explained I would need chemotherapy, radiation and when those treatments were complete, Id need medication for the next 10 years because my cancer was hormone positive.

That was a lot of information to take in and I needed time to think it over. It was important to weigh the pros and cons of each treatment option in the plan. After doing a lot of research and talking with family members, I made my choices. I would forego chemotherapy, due to the harmful chemicals and side effects, but would follow the recommended radiation therapy. I would also follow-up with medication as soon as Id completed my last round of radiation.

When it came time to begin adjuvant therapy, I began taking the prescribed medication, an aromatase inhibitor called Arimidex (anastrozole). It was a tiny white pill Id be required to take once a day for the next 10 years. I felt that was doable if it meant keeping cancer at bay.

After several weeks, I began experiencing unwanted side effects like severe bone and joint pain, mood swings and depression. I cried all the time and felt like an old woman. Next came insomnia and hot flashes. I tried home remedies for sleeping but they didnt work so the doctor prescribed sleeping pills, but the warning label on the side of the bottle frightened me. When the side effects from the Arimidex did not subside, I called the doctor and told him I wanted to come off the medication. He explained there were other AIs (aromatase inhibitors) we could try.

Wanting to follow his advice, I tried another drug, Aromasin (exemestane). Once again, I began to experience unwanted side effects and was placed on tamoxifen. When that drug made me feel worse than the others, the doctor suggested we add a medication called Effexor (venlafaxine) to my regimen. Effexor, he explained was an antidepressant drug, but it would help offset the negative side effects. Not wanting to add another medication, I decided to reassess my situation.

I read everything I could find on fighting cancer naturally. There was so much information, some good and some bad. I found a lot of helpful information in books on Chinese herbal medicines. The more I learned, the more I was convinced I needed to walk away from prescription medications.

Its been almost seven years since I made the decision to stop taking Arimidex, Aromasin and tamoxifen and Im happy to report Im feeling great! There are no more unwanted side effects. The decision to stop taking the medication was right for me.

The decision to walk away from taking aromatase inhibitors is a choice many women are now making. Women are doing research and realizing they have a right to make the best choice for their health.

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs), are a standard part of many cancer fighting plans. They are used to help fight cancer cell regrowth by blocking cell receptors like estrogen and progesterone in breast cancers that are hormone-receptor positive, but with a high risk of unwanted side effects, many women are opting out of taking the recommended anti-hormonal therapies recommended by their oncologists. Instead of taking oral medications, many choose to manage their health through preventative measures such as weight loss, diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements.

Im so glad I walked away from the AIs. If Id followed the recommended treatment plan, Id still be taking medications today and Im sure I would still be experiencing those nasty side effects.

Its my hope that women currently experiencing side effects from medications like Aromasin, Arimidex, Femara (letrozole), tamoxifen and other AIs realize there are other options, but many doctors fail to share this information. Of course, each persons body is different and what works for one may not work for another, but it would helpful if all options were presented.

In three months, Ill celebrate seven years of being cancer free. To me, thats proof what Im doing is working so Ill keep on following my self-imposed regimen. To date, I take no prescription medications to fight cancer. Instead, I use supplements such as turmeric/curcumin, Diindolylmethane (a dietary indole found in cruciferous vegetables that helps promotes healthy estrogen metabolism), a cortisol manager which helps reduce stress and promote good sleep. I take several high-quality vitamins, enjoy a diet high in cruciferous vegetables, and drink lots of Matcha green tea. I also enjoy daily physical activity, hobbies, and make sure to get a healthy dose of sunshine each day.

Perhaps Im an oddity, but maybe not. If more were given the opportunity to try alternative treatments, such as those found in traditional Chinese medicine, we might see a better quality of life among those fighting cancer. But if other options arent presented, others will blindly follow their physicians advice toward traditional treatment expecting good results when potentially problematic side effects could be avoided.
