Diamante Blockchain Set to Expand its Consortium to Antwerp

Antwerp is one of the top diamond hubs in the world, generating an annual economic turnover that exceeds $54 billion. Home to over a thousand diamond companies, the diamond industry in Antwerp is in the process of implementing blockchain technology to bring greater accountability and transparency to the sector. This trend is seeing many of these enterprises join Diamante Blockchain Consortium – the fastest growing diamond consortium in the present day.

Belgian Diamond Industry Overview

The Belgian diamond industry is concentrated within a section of Antwerp called the Square Mile. There are currently over 380 workshops in this area which provide services to over 1,500 companies. They are joined by 3,500 merchants, brokers, and cutters who support the Belgian diamond industry. Approximately 84% of the rough diamonds mined around the world each year makes their way through Antwerp.

However, a declining trend in polished diamonds has been noted in the past five years. For example, in 2017, $22.5 billion worth of polished diamonds amounting to 10.7 million carats were traded from the Antwerp diamond market. This number was made up of export of 5.6 million carats of polished diamonds and import of 5.1 million carats of the same, valued at $11.1 billion and $11.4 billion respectively. Although the amount seems quite large, compared to 2016 it actually indicates an overall slump of 7% in volume and 3% in value. Click here.

Problems facing the Antwerp Diamond Industry

Despite the noteworthy revenue raked in, Antwerp diamonds have a marred reputation that makes the Antwerp diamond exchange not a very trustworthy source to purchase diamonds from. This is attributed to the plethora of disreputable and unethical business practices that could end up scamming consumers. This reputation is also recognized as one of the reasons that have led to a sharp drop in the export of polished diamonds from the Belgian diamond industry. This decline is most apparent in the fall from 8.4 million polished carats exported in 2011 to a much less 5 million carats in 2017.

Diamante Blockchain Consortium instills trust in the Antwerp diamond industry
Leading diamond enterprises in Antwerp have recognized the massive potential of blockchain technology to bring transparency to the diamond industry and have viewed participation in the Diamante Blockchain Consortium as the quickest way to implement it. The consortium - built on distributed ledger technology - enables the provenance tracking of diamonds and provides details of each registered diamond, including its center of cutting, polishing, certification, and retail sale, among others.

The blockchain network prevents fraudulent activities by keeping a permanent record of all the transactions taking place within the network, validated by smart contracts. Confidential data relating to the various clients and members of this consortium are also protected in this tamperproof ledger.

Diamante Consortium has set high standards in terms of its ethical concern determined by the decentralized nature of the underlying technology. It also complies with Kimberly Certified norms, Anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and the USA Patriot Act to guarantee the authenticity of every diamond in its network.

The future of blockchain in Belgium is bright, evinced by the recently organized blockchain summit in Brussels. The country is gearing up to implement the technological innovation across industries, and the diamond industry is clearly one that stands to benefit most from it.

Verified Clinical Trials and ClinSpark® Now To Offer Single Access Point For eSource and Research Subject Verification To Prevent Duplicate Subjects in Clinical Trials

The global research subject duplicate enrollment prevention solution Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) and Foundry Health's eSource and phase I automation platform ClinSpark® are now electronically connected. The integration greatly simplifies the process for site users to check for duplicate subject enrollments and several other protocol violations. All relevant data is automatically synced, eliminating double entry of data and thereby reducing errors and diminishing workload. An eligibility check with the Verified Clinical Trials database is initiated from within the site's ClinSpark® interface. With just one button to press, the powerful technology of VCT is activated and the user instantly receives a response on the verification check within seconds. A full report with relevant details is automatically added to the source data in ClinSpark® and is accessible to all authorized study users.

Duplicate or over enrollment is a well-recognized and growing problem within the clinical trials industry. VCT and Foundry Health both strongly believe that technology can greatly enhance the safety of subjects in clinical trials and improve the quality of the data. VCT and Foundry Health now offer a simplified and more expedient process by developing a single combined access point for data entry and research subject enrollment status verification. Due to the web-based nature of each solution, a clear path towards collaboration between the technology providers emerged in a way that has not been seen with traditional on-premise solution providers. The results of this joint effort lead to enhanced compliance, a reduction in error rates, and improved efficiency. The one-click verification of research subject enrollment status step is a first step in this collaboration between the two companies.

Mitchell Efros MD FACS, CEO of VCT stated, "Volunteer safety is paramount in everything we do. Developing new technology as a means to achieve that is at the heart of our company. We are very pleased to see that ClinSpark® is built on those same values. This collaboration will enrich the clinical trial landscape as we know it today. We are very pleased with our alliance and it was great seeing the teams working so closely together to develop such a powerful yet efficient tool. We look forward to further enhancements as we continue our collaboration." Click here.

Brock Heinz, CEO of Foundry Health stated "The modern architecture of ClinSpark® empowers us to easily connect to anything: devices, databases, or other cloud-based solutions. Verified Clinical Trials is without question the world leader in solutions for preventing duplicate enrollment of subjects in trials. It has been a privilege to collaborate with them and have our systems and teams working closely together. ClinSpark® is focused on making it simple and easy to run a phase I trial for the clinic staff. Our interface with VCT is yet another step in achieving that goal." Read this for more information.

Kerri Weingard ANP COO of http://www.verifiedclinicaltrials.com added, "We strive to provide solutions to our clients that enhance the safety and quality of data yet do not over-burden research site staff. With increasingly complex clinical trials and a myriad of systems for site staff to log in to, we felt that a single access point to perform these functions would enhance the user experience and acceptance for both systems.

VetStem Biopharma is Pleased to Announce Dr. Douglas Stramel of Advanced Care Veterinary Services is Successfully Using the Pall V-PET™ Platelet Therapy System

Dr. Douglas Stramel of Advanced Care Veterinary Services in Carrollton, Texas has been using the Pall Veterinary Platelet Enhancement Therapy System (V-PET™) for nearly three years. A proponent of Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Stramel has been credentialed to perform VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy since 2007 and began using V-PET™ 2016. V-PET™ is a gravity filtration-based platelet therapy kit that produces a platelet concentrate rich in natural healing cells. Supported by veterinary peer-reviewed publications, V-PET™ has been shown to be an effective regenerative medicine solution for the treatment of joint disease, soft tissue injuries, and to assist in the resolution of wounds in both dogs and horses. Click here to read the latest news.

One of Dr. Stramel's recent patients is a Great Dane named Pinky. At seven years old and 170 pounds, Pinky is considered a senior dog. In mid-2018, Pinky slipped on a wet driveway and ruptured her cruciate ligament. She was unable to put any weight on her right rear leg, which for a dog her size, makes life pretty complicated. She could no longer go on walks and struggled to get in and out of the car. Playing could only be done while Pinky was lying on the floor. She could not go up stairs and had trouble getting on the couch and into the bed. She also struggled to go to the bathroom.

After being told surgery was Pinky's only option, her owner, Rebecca, took Pinky to Dr. Stramel for a second opinion. As a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner, Dr. Stramel is dedicated to providing an array of advanced pain-management techniques for his patients. For Pinky, he recommended treatment with the Pall V-PET™, in addition to acupuncture, laser therapy, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Read this here.

Pinky received her first platelet therapy treatment on June 26th, 2018. After a simple blood collection, Pinky's blood was run through the specialized V-PET™ filter, which is designed to selectively capture platelets to produce a platelet concentrate. The concentrate was injected directly into Pinky's right knee. Platelets, when exposed to damaged tissue, are triggered to release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. Since Pinky was both the donor and recipient, there was very little risk of rejection. Read here.

According to Dr. Stramel, Pinky noticeably improved eight days after receiving platelet therapy. Beginning in July, Pinky began weekly acupuncture and biweekly laser therapy sessions. On August 2nd, Pinky received a second injection utilizing the Pall V-PET™ kit. Like before, Pinky's blood was run through the V-PET™ filter and she received a concentrated dose of platelets into her right knee. Approximately two weeks after the second injection, Pinky was no longer limping. She received two more rounds of acupuncture and one more round of laser therapy at which point it was decided that Pinky was doing so well, she could discontinue both therapies. Currently, Pinky is maintained on one anti-inflammatory pill daily. Before and after videos of Pinky can be found here (after video in the comments). Be alert to read related news.

Though Pinky was non-weight bearing on her right rear leg prior to receiving platelet therapy, her mom reported that she was able to resume all of her normal activities after treatment. She goes on three walks a day, including one walk that is always over a mile. She jumps in and out of the car with ease and has no problem with stairs. Her mom said she has also run around the backyard chasing squirrels. Though Pinky is seven years old, a senior for a dog her size, she was able to bounce back from a torn cruciate ligament with the help of Dr. Stramel and Veterinary Platelet Enhancement Therapy. Pleased with Pinky's outcome, Rebecca stated, "I would highly recommend PRP as it was a miracle to see her recover so quickly." Read related news now.

MyTana Introduces New M745 Workhorse, First Drain Machine with Variable Speed and Torque Protection

MyTana, a manufacturer and distributor of cleaning, maintenance and inspection tools for the plumber and drain cleaning markets, has released the new M745 Workhorse drain machine. With MyTana's new M745 Workhorse, drain-cleaning professionals can now adjust cable speed on-the-fly for maximum performance, and choose among two torque settings for safety. Read here.

The M745 incorporates MyTana's proprietary new SmartDrive technology. With SmartDrive, cable speed can be throttled (up to 300 rpm) to negotiate turns, strengthen cleaning force, and expedite feeds and retrievals—or reduced (as low as 100 rpm) for tackling obstructions and debris. SmartDrive also includes calibrated torque protection which is designed to safeguard the operator and extend the life of the machine's cable. SmartDrive sounds an alarm when cable torque approaches unsafe limits and then automatically cuts power when that limit is reached. The limit can be set high for large drains or low for sink lines. Operators can also select how tension is released: quickly with little resistance, or slowly with more resistance.

A versatile machine, the M745 comes fully equipped to work in 3"-4" lines with 100' of cable, slip-joint fittings, autofeed, blades and accessories. A sinkline kit is available to address 1 ½"-2" lines, and no tools are needed to swap reels due to the quick-release design of the drive system.

The M745 is compact to fit in tight spaces, has non-skid feet and balanced weight for stabilization during operation and transport, offers a telescoping adjustable handle that retracts easily for storage, and has built-in stair-rollers for enhanced mobility.

"This new M745 Workhorse gives control to sewer and drain cleaning professionals that is unprecedented," says Dale Graber, general manager for MyTana. "The M745 is a high-performing machine that saves time and money by working more quickly and accurately, and in turn, protects the safety of the operator and the longevity of the cable."

The M745 Workhorse with SmartDrive is available through the MyTana website at http://www.mytana.com/throttle or call 1-866-327-7176.

About MyTana Manufacturing
St. Paul, Minnesota-based MyTana is a full-service manufacturer of drain cleaning and inspection equipment, including cable machines, drain jetters and plumber cameras. The company also offers cables, blades, nozzles and other accessories for plumbers and drain cleaners.
