  • Measles Now Has a Drug – NV-387 Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Successful in Animal Studies, says NanoViricides

    Measles Now Has a Drug – NV-387 Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Successful in Animal Studies, says NanoViricides

    SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.: NNVC ) (the “Company”), and a clinical stage, leading global pioneer in the development of broad-spectrum antivirals based on host-mimetic nanomedicine technology that viruses cannot escape, announced that it has achieved significant success in developing a drug against Measles.

    Strong antiviral effectiveness against Measles virus was found for NV-387, the Company’s broad-spectrum drug candidate, in a humanized animal model study.

    “NV-387 is on its way to become the very first drug to treat Measles,” said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, adding, “Measles cases are skyrocketing globally, and the world needs a drug.”

    In a lethal animal model of respiratory infection with Measles virus, NV-387 increased survival of animals to 17 days on average compared to 7.4 days in untreated animals, an increase of 130%. There were no signs of toxicity from the drug NV-387. Additionally, dose-dependent increase in survival was observed.

    NV-387 is a clinical stage broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is designed to act as a decoy of a cell, attacking the virus by presenting to it the very features that the virus requires for binding to the cell, and upon binding, destroying the virus particle so it cannot infect. Over 90-95% of human pathogenic viruses require the sulfated proteoglycan feature that NV-387 presents to the virus.

    The Company has conducted an animal trial to evaluate certain drug candidates in a lethal animal infection model of measles virus. The Company secured specially modified mice that bear the human form of CD150/SLAM protein that the Measles virus requires to enter cells for this study. Measles does not infect mice natively, so humanized mice were required for this study.

    The Company hypothesized that NV-387 could be effective against Measles because NV-387 was previously found to completely cure RSV lung infection in a lethal animal model. Both RSV and Measles virus belong to paramyxoviruses family. Additionally, both viruses are known to use heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) as the initial attachment point before causing cellular infection. However, the mode of actual infection between these viruses differs drastically. RSV primarily infects lung epithelial cells, whereas Measles virus infects h-CD150 bearing immune system cells. The animal study validated the Company’s hypothesis.

    To prevent outbreaks, Measles vaccination requires at least 95% coverage of population. At least 5% of vaccinated persons can still get the Measles disease if infected. Given that the percentage of population that would not benefit from vaccination continues to increase, due to chronic diseases and immunological deficiencies, and in light of vaccine hesitancy, it is unlikely that the 95% rate can be met globally. In fact, vaccination rates continue to decline especially in the industrialized world. Additionally, vaccine does not help a person who has the disease. Thus, a treatment for measles is of paramount importance.

    ABOUT NANOVIRICIDES

    NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) ( www.nanoviricides.com ) is a publicly traded (NYSE-American, stock symbol NNVC) clinical stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company’s novel nanoviricide™ class of drug candidates and the nanoviricide™ technology are based on intellectual property, technology and proprietary know-how of TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company has a Memorandum of Understanding with TheraCour for the development of drugs based on these technologies for all antiviral infections. The MoU does not include cancer and similar diseases that may have viral origin but require different kinds of treatments.

    The Company has obtained broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in several licensed fields from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

    Our lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that we plan to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. Our other advanced drug candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials.

    The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides’ platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel.

  • Central Gawler Mill Refurbishment Estimated at A$26m

    Central Gawler Mill Refurbishment Estimated at A$26m

    Preliminary evaluation confirms low-cost pathway to production

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Capital cost for full reinstatement of Central Gawler Mill to original design basis (600ktpa fresh ore) estimated at only ~A$26m (±30%); processing cost estimated at only A$44.50/t

    • Significant cost advantages versus building a new mill, or utilising third party toll milling

    • Targeting feasibility by end of 2025 to support initial ‘Stage 1′ operations by end of 2026; early conversations underway for low-dilution credit and working capital financing

    ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 20, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) ( Barton or Company ) is pleased to share that preliminary engineering analysis has confirmed that full reinstatement of the Central Gawler Mill ( CGM ) to its original 600ktpa fresh ore configuration is estimated at only A$26m (±30%). Full details are contained in the complete announcement, which can be accessed on the ASX website, the investor section of Barton’s website, or directly by clicking here.

    Figure 1 – 3D schematic indicating CGM component replacement and refurbishment

    Commenting on the refurbishment analysis, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

    “Our Central Gawler Mill offers significant leverage for a low-cost transition to production. A refurbishment cost of only A$26m is a fraction of the cost of building new, and the option to defer material elements of capex if first reprocessing tailings offers further advantages. Existing infrastructure also offers more financing options, and we don’t need to seek third party toll milling services while sacrificing profitability. The building blocks for our regional development strategy are now in place, and we look forward to kicking it off at the Central Gawler Mill.”

  • Matjaz Vidmar: Engineering Architect of the Modern Broadcast Cloud

    Matjaz Vidmar: Engineering Architect of the Modern Broadcast Cloud

    Team Editorial – Evrima Chicago

    NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / In the infrastructure-focused evolution of television broadcasting, few technologists have influenced the trajectory of modular playout and digital delivery more profoundly than Matjaz Vidmar. Through a career that spans over two decades-from founding ON-AIR Systems in the 1990s to leading Perception Group Inc. in the 2020s-Vidmar has consistently pushed the boundaries of integrated media architecture. His work has been most recently credited with establishing the technical foundation behind PerceptionTVCDN and its affiliated super-app platform, RapidoTV.

    An independent editorial investigation by Evrima Chicago into the current state of digital broadcast infrastructure repeatedly surfaced Vidmar’s name in relation to low-footprint, high-impact engineering strategies. While not a mainstream figure in consumer media, Vidmar’s legacy in software-defined broadcasting and scalable streaming has become a reference point in trade circles for cloud-based television deployment.

    Early Career and Founding of ON-AIR Systems

    Matjaz Vidmar began his engineering career in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a focus on analog and digital broadcasting workflows. In 1995, he founded ON-AIR Systems, a UK-based software company that pioneered the “Channel-in-a-Box” concept-a then-novel approach to television playout that consolidated hardware and software control into a single automated workstation.

    At a time when television broadcasting required racks of dedicated hardware, ON-AIR Systems offered a disruptive model: compressing scheduling, graphics, playout, and ingest into software modules that could run on commodity PCs. Industry trade journals from 2002-2010 (Broadcast Engineering, IBC Reports) cite ON-AIR as a key enabler of playout automation for regional and thematic broadcasters across Europe and the Middle East.

    By the end of the 2000s, ON-AIR’s solutions had been deployed in over 50 countries. Vidmar’s approach reduced engineering overhead, increased operational uptime, and marked one of the first large-scale attempts to abstract broadcast operations into virtual software-defined environments.

    Perception Group Inc. and the Evolution of Broadcast CDN

    In the early 2010s, Vidmar transitioned his core focus from linear playout to integrated streaming architecture. He founded Perception Group Inc., assembling a team of former ON-AIR engineers and network specialists to address the next challenge: fusing IPTV-grade logic with CDN-based distribution.

    According to industry documentation and deployment records reviewed by Evrima Chicago, the resulting platform-PerceptionTVCDN-emerged as a unique technical entity: a CDN that could perform traditional television functions (live streaming, nPVR, EPG indexing) inside the delivery fabric itself. Unlike conventional CDNs that served as passive distribution endpoints, PerceptionTVCDN was engineered to understand TV logic.

    This system has since been deployed in multiple telecom-backed streaming services across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia (EIN Presswire, TechAfrica News 2024-2025). Operators including Zain Sudan and Africell Angola publicly confirmed their use of the platform in rollouts of catch-up and live TV applications under local brand names such as El Shasha and AfriTV.

    Vidmar’s philosophy-visible across PerceptionTV’s platform architecture-is rooted in three principles:

    • Modularization: All broadcast services should be decoupled and interchangeable, akin to cloud microservices.

    • Vendor Independence: Operators must not be locked into multi-vendor dependencies or long deployment cycles.

    • Access and Localization: Streaming infrastructure must accommodate low-bandwidth markets with localized control and interface layers.

    RapidoTV and the Super-App Model

    In 2025, Vidmar re-emerged at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where he appeared alongside the executive team behind RapidoTV, a generative AI-powered super-app that unites live streaming, VOD, e-commerce, and gaming. While Rapido operates as an independent business entity, its core backend-event scheduling, metadata handling, content playout-is powered by PerceptionTVCDN.

    According to Rapido CEO Fabio Pigo, who spoke at the MWC 2025 TechAfrica press briefing, the Rapido concept was heavily shaped by Vidmar’s architecture design:

    “We wanted a system that was deeply broadcast-aware but scalable like a consumer app. Matjaz gave us the blueprint to do both” (TechAfrica News, 2025).

    Vidmar did not speak publicly at MWC but was acknowledged in both Rapido and PerceptionTV’s executive releases as the principal architect of the streaming framework used by both entities.

    Engineering Legacy and Technical Contributions

    Through primary interviews, trade publication analysis, and archived system documentation, Evrima Chicago has compiled a consistent technical portrait of Matjaz Vidmar. His lasting contributions to the broadcast technology field include:

    • Software-Defined Television Playout: Enabling the automation and virtualization of linear broadcast chains.

    • Modular IPTV/CDN Convergence: Bridging the gap between operator control and scalable video delivery.

    • Infrastructure for Low-Bandwidth Regions: Architecting playout models that work with minimal latency and packet loss tolerance.

    • White-Labeled Middleware Alternatives: Allowing telecoms to create their own media platforms without proprietary middleware licenses.

    Vidmar’s contributions are often cited in internal whitepapers and platform RFPs by telecom providers across Eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. His background as an engineer, rather than a product marketer, may explain his relatively low profile in popular media, despite his significant influence on the technical design of widely deployed systems.

    President Trump’s Truth Social Streaming powered by Vidmar’s Perception Group

    In a recent development, it was revealed that the Perception Group, founded and majority-owned by Matjaž Vidmar, developed the private CDN technology enabling Truth Social-the platform operated by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG)-to offer live video streaming to its users.

    Truth Social, launched in 2022 and 65% owned by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, now allows users to stream content across web, iOS, and Android via a single television icon-powered entirely by Perception Group’s CDN infrastructure.

    The CDN, built as a turnkey hardware-software integration suite, operates on private server infrastructure (not public cloud), giving exclusive access and control to TMTG. According to official TMTG filings, the partnership is valued at over $17.5 million over three years.

    Vidmar’s Perception Group, headquartered in Toronto with subsidiaries in London and Ljubljana, will face operational restrictions in certain U.S. sectors under the terms of the agreement. TMTG also holds a first-mover option in case of future sale of Perception Group.

    CEO Devin Nunes of TMTG described the rollout as

    “another step towards our goal of creating a safe haven for everyone who wants freedom of expression and family-friendly television content.”

    Though Vidmar has not commented publicly on the deal, the partnership has placed his once-under-the-radar CDN engineering into the heart of American political tech infrastructure.

    Industry Recognition and Media Presence

    Vidmar’s name appears primarily in technical and trade publications rather than general-interest press. Notable citations include:

    • Broadcast Engineering (2005-2010): ON-AIR Systems playout automation tools

    • IBC Technical Papers Archive: Channel-in-a-box presentations

    • TechAfrica News: Coverage of Zain and Africell deployments

    • GlobeNewswire (2025): Technical reference in RapidoTV + PerceptionTV joint press release

    • Truth Social Streaming Deal Coverage: Cited in Slovenian press, EIN, and independent telecom analyses

    While not a media celebrity, Vidmar’s consistent technical presence meets WP:CORP and WP:NBIO standards as a credible figure with sustained, independent impact across multiple markets.

    Conclusion

    From analog playout to CDN-embedded television logic, Matjaz Vidmar’s career reflects a systemic, engineering-led transformation of the broadcast industry. His innovations operate largely behind the scenes-under telecom banners, sovereign platform wrappers, and streaming app interfaces-but his architecture is there, threading through the broadcast DNA of our digital age.

    Whether enabling content delivery in under-connected rural regions or embedding AI logic in super-app platforms, Vidmar’s frameworks are not relics-they are living, scalable templates for the hybrid, modular, decentralized broadcasting systems of tomorrow.

    Dr. Todd H. Lanman to Present at International Total Disc Arthroplasty Masterclass in Amsterdam

    BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / World-renowned spinal neurosurgeon and motion preservation expert Dr. Todd H. Lanman will join an elite international faculty at the Total Disc Arthroplasty Masterclass in Amsterdam on June 20, 2025. Dr. Lanman will deliver a series of educational presentations and case-based discussions on the expanding indications for total disc replacement (TDR)-including highly complex cases.

    Dr. Lanman, founder of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery and ADR Spine, will present on challenging lumbar and cervical disc arthroplasty cases, including those involving multilevel degeneration, prior fusions, or advanced pathology. His contributions will spotlight evolving strategies that broaden candidacy for motion-preserving surgery-particularly for patients once limited to spinal fusion. He will also participate in a faculty-led panel discussing revision strategies and clinical decision-making in difficult and multi-level cases.

    “We are forging the new age of spinal surgery,” said Dr. Lanman. “With the right technology and expertise, we can now offer motion-preserving solutions to patients who were never considered candidates for disc replacement-patients with prior fusions, complex anatomies, or multilevel disease.”

    The Masterclass begins on June 19, 2025, with a dinner and pre-conference case discussions, followed by a full day of expert-led lectures and panels on June 20 at the nhow Amsterdam RAI Hotel. Dr. Todd Lanman will join a distinguished international faculty that includes Dr. Scott Blumenthal (Texas Back Institute), Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli (Pro-Spine ECSA, Germany), Dr. Thierry Marnay (CCV Montpellier, France), and Prof. Matthew Scott-Young (Gold Coast Spine, Australia).

    Dr. Thierry Marnay will deliver a keynote lecture entitled “What Gives? Why are Spine Surgeons So Far Behind Total Joint Surgeons?” addressing systemic, cultural, and clinical barriers to wider adoption of disc arthroplasty. He will also co-lead participant case discussions, contribute to the session on advanced lumbar case reviews, and serve on the expert faculty panel for complex cervical case analysis

    Prof. Matthew Scott-Young will open the Masterclass with a program overview and contribute to case discussions throughout the event. His formal lectures will address cervical disc indications, including motion preservation versus ACDF, and provide an in-depth analysis of cervical disc designs, covering implant materials, mechanical philosophy, and evolving technologies such as fixed versus mobile cores.

    Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli will present on lumbar complications and revision surgery strategies, including case examples highlighting surgical decision-making in complex revision scenarios. He will also lead sessions on optimizing surgical technique for multilevel cervical arthroplasty and challenging anatomy and participate in interactive discussions on complex cervical cases and disc selection considerations by spinal level.

    Dr. Scott Blumenthal will deliver a foundational lecture on lumbar disc arthroplasty, focusing on indications, patient selection, and clinical evidence, as well as considerations for when fusion may still be relevant. He will also lead case discussions on lumbar pathology, and present strategies for cervical revision surgery and participate in the final panel addressing the future of disc arthroplasty.

    The Masterclass underscores a growing international consensus that spinal fusion should no longer be the default solution for degenerative disc disease and that total disc arthroplasty is both viable and preferable in an expanding range of cases.
