John Daniel, Co-founder of ProgenaCare Global, and Kristopher Perkins, Managing Director of PhaseOne Health, have been an on-the-ground mission in Ukraine that saw the two leaders deliver close to $3 million of ProgenaMatrix™, an innovative, one-of-a-kind keratinmatrix wound care, along with PhaseOne, a cleaning and disinfecting solution.

The trip was coordinated over several weeks, using a humanitarian pipeline established by HelpingUkraine.us, the Tucker, Ga.-based charitable organization established in June of 2022. That pipeline includes doctors in hospitals across Ukraine, where Daniel and Perkins spent six days visiting. They saw over a dozen medical facilities, met with doctors and medical professionals to train them on the use of their unique healing products and stopped by to visit and treat patients, a welcome surprise for many injured soldiers.

“We were also asked to visit with patients we weren’t treating, because it meant a lot to them. Seeing us there was symbolic and relayed: ‘The U.S. is here for you and supports you,’” said Daniel about seeing patients light up with hope upon seeing him and Perkins. “You could see their eyes smiling which is hard to imagine considering they are suffering from PTSD from an environment that shows the hostile nature of humans. That’s why we went; to show halfway across the world, people like us care and want to do something to help and treat soldiers and civilians.”

The triumvirate partnership was born from the root commitment ProgenaCare and PhaseOne Health share to reduce human suffering, which aligned with HelpingUkraine.us mission to save lives. Daniel and Perkins said they followed a calling, knowing their products would work well for both chronic and acute wounds and, in tandem, could deliver quicker healing results for patients.

Their visits began with classroom trainings, where the gentlemen would walk expert surgeons through proper storage, use and application. At the conclusion of these sessions, Daniel and Perkins bestowed certifications to each surgeon, attesting they had mastered the application and nuances of their products.

ProgenaMatrix™ and PhaseOne were used in collaboration on several patients, including injured soldiers with severe battlefield wounds and burns. Progress on the treatment and healing is being monitored by physicians in Ukraine and will be shared with teams back in the U.S., marking a concerted investment in the products to heal battle injuries.

“The physicians had never seen a product like ProgenaMatrix™ or PhaseOne,” said Perkins. “What struck them was the simplicity of the materials. All the doctors we met showed the highest levels of professionalism, loyalty, expertise and patriotism. The quality of care is terrific, but inadequate.” Bert Jones, Chairman of the Board of ProgenaCare Global added, “To date, our products have only been used in peacetime. We are honored to have the opportunity to help these wonderful physicians heal the victims of this historic tragedy.”

The trip was marked by a pervasive sense that everyone around them had been severely impacted by the war and personally knew someone who had been injured or killed. The team’s presence brought a somber reminder that despite the victimization of the Ukrainian people, the good in humanity is still alive.

Bombing sirens and app notifications served as brief glimpses into what has become a new daily reality for millions. For some, seeing Daniel and Perkins personified a Western diplomacy that has helped carry Ukraine through the war. ProgenaCare and PhaseOne are currently exploring other projects to provide support for the Ukrainian cause.

AirSep partnered with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Mozambican Government to activate this project designed to provide desperately needed medical oxygen in this Southeastern African country. The Monapo Hospital in the town of the same name in northern Mozambique now can produce enough oxygen to treat 25 COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms while treating up to 150 patients with milder oxygen needs. The AirSep PSA Oxygen System generates medical-grade oxygen on-site and uses compressed air as a feed gas to produce oxygen. The oxygen system uses an inert ceramic material called molecular sieve in its adsorber vessels to separate air into product oxygen and other gases. The entire oxygen generating process is completely regenerative, which makes it both reliable and virtually maintenance-free. This AS-J600-HMFM PSA Oxygen System is containerized to accommodate for the remote area. It also is designed to continuously supply oxygen and has cylinder refilling capability. Cylinders can be filled with high-pressure oxygen at the designated concentration, and those can be distributed to nearby medical facilities.

A patient underwent a unique surgery where his diseased lungs were completely removed to save his life as the lungs were severely infected. Breast implants were put in place of the lungs to support his heart. A day later, he underwent a successful double lung transplant. The patient's journey started with flu-like symptoms which led to hospitalization and being put on ECMO until Dr. Ankit Bharat and the lung transplant team at NM successfully performed the surgeries. This innovative approach to lung transplant surgery could potentially benefit many patients with conditions like cystic fibrosis.

North Carolina tops CNBC’s state business competitiveness rankings for the second year in a row as workers flock to take advantage of a booming economy and the growing operations of companies including Apple within the state .At a time when companies are clamoring for workers while trying to navigate a treacherous economy, no state is meeting their needs more effectively than North Carolina. The Tar Heel State is America’s Top State for Business in CNBC’s annual competitiveness study. It is the second consecutive year at the top for North Carolina — a rare feat in the CNBC study, which launched in 2007. Business and the economy in the state have been on a tear since the pandemic, and the state has scarcely looked back. In 2023 alone, the state has amassed a trophy case full of economic development wins, ranging from a $130 million investment by Bosch to expand its power tool manufacturing facility in Lincolnton, to a $458 million biomanufacturing facility to be built in Greensboro by cellular therapeutics company ProKidney, and even a $58 million turkey production facility in Goldsboro by poultry breeder Select Genetics. The projects come on top of major wins last year, including Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast announcing it will build its first North American plant in the state, and Durham-based semiconductor materials manufacturer Wolfspeed expanding its operations there. Last month, Apple filed applications to begin work on its $1 billion facility in the famed Research Triangle Park announced in 2021, with 700,000 square feet of office space in its initial phase. It is Apple’s first hub on the East Coast. A common thread through all the projects is people. “Our talented, educated workers are the foundation of our economic success,” said Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, in his state of the state address in March. The numbers bear that out. North Carolina ranks first in the all-important Workforce category of CNBC’s study. In particular, the state is a leader in attracting and retaining talent across a range of industries, said Josh Wright, an executive vice president with labor market analytics firm Lightcast, which provided some of the data for the CNBC study.

Self-contained PSA oxygen generators, like AirSep’s Reliant and Centrox products, 220 V versions available for export only, are used primarily for medical oxygen supply. Larger than a traditional stationary oxygen concentrator, an AirSep oxygen generator can deliver higher pressure, 50 pound per square inch gage (PSIG) or higher. Recently medical clinics have set up ventilators to help support breathing in patients whose lungs have been seriously impacted by the COVID-19 virus. Many patients are experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing due to the virus infecting the respiratory tract and damaging the lung’s alveoli, which is where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide passes. To alleviate these harsh symptoms, Reliant and Centrox oxygen generators can connect directly to the ventilator and together these technologies supply oxygen to the patient allowing more time for their lungs to recover and regain function.

U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet demonstrated unmanned air and surface capabilities from expeditionary fast transport USNS Burlington (T-EPF 10) during the command’s Hybrid Fleet Campaign Event (HFCE) in Key West. This is the most recent event in U.S. 4th Fleet’s campaign to operationalize cutting edge technologies. After successful rollout of the Campaign at UNITAS in July 2023 and the beginning of operation WINDWARD STACK in September, the Science and Technology event in Key West this past week focused on the evaluation of unmanned systems in advanced kill chains, contested littoral operations, survivability, and sustainment at sea. It served as both a proving ground for emerging technologies and an opportunity for senior leaders to see for themselves the capabilities of systems that could support the hybrid fleet. “One of the best ways to change our force is to rapidly operationalize new technologies, new systems, and new tactics, techniques, and procedures,” said Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Vice Chief of Naval Operations. “Whether you’re talking about artificial intelligence, cyber, unmanned platforms, directed energy, or hypersonic missiles, we are on the cusp of technological breakthroughs that are going to define future conflict.”
