The Journal of Pain Research Features the Publication of the RELIEF Study, a Topical Analgesic Pain Relief Study Conducted by Clarity Science

FLORHAM PARK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Hisamitsu America, the marketers of Salonpas®, announce today that The Journal of Pain Research, an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal focusing on pain research and the prevention and management of pain, features the publication, in June 2020, of the RELIEF study: "Relieving Pain: Evaluating Patient Quality of Life Improvement – Perceptions, Experience and Feedback After Use of a Topical Pain Relief Patch," an exploratory pain management study, conducted by Clarity Science.

The comprehensive Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study evaluated whether a topical analgesic pain-relieving patch containing methyl salicylate (10%), Menthol (6%) and Camphor (3.1%) could reduce pain severity and improve function in patients with mild-to-moderate arthritic, neurological or musculoskeletal pain as compared to oral over-the-counter (OTC) agents (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, and other pain medications such as creams, gels, roll-ons, sprays, patches or rubs, prescription NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, meloxicam or diclofenac), prescription opioids (e.g., fentanyl, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, morphine or oxycodone), or prescription anticonvulsants (e.g., gabapentin or pregabalin).

The treatment group for the RELIEF study included 152 adult patients with arthritis, neurological, or musculoskeletal pain who received the Salonpas® Pain Relieving Patch for 14 days. A control group included 47 patients who did not receive the patch – 34 of whom crossed over to evaluate their response to patch treatment as well.

Pain severity in treated patients decreased significantly, by 49.0% compared to 12.3% in patients in the control group, while function significantly improved by 58.1% compared to 14.8% in patients in the control group. Additionally, no side effects of treatment were reported. Also, at day 14, 60.5% of the treated patients were using concomitant oral pain medications a lot less and 90.8% of patients were very or extremely satisfied with the patch. Patients in the crossover group showed similar reductions in pain severity and improvement in function.

"Clinical treatment guidelines increasingly recommend the first-line use of topical analgesics, largely based on safety concerns associated with oral medications such as oral NSAIDs, acetaminophen, opioids, and anticonvulsants, which require substantial systemic exposure in order to have their therapeutic effect and pose associated risk of serious adverse events," said Dr. Jeffrey Gudin, the Principal Investigator of the RELIEF study who is board certified in pain management, anesthesiology, addiction medicine and palliative care. Dr. Gudin is affiliated with Englewood Hospital Medical Center and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Dept. of Anesthesiology, and is an author, researcher and opinion leader in pain management. "The RELIEF study not only supported the safety of this multimodal topical analgesic (Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch), it also supported the treatment's significant pain relieving effect in patients with mild to moderate pain, its favorable impact on function, and illustrated that its use reduced the use of oral NSAIDs, acetaminophen, opioids, and anticonvulsants."

"Our mission is to provide people in pain with clinically proven topical analgesics and practitioners with the clinical proof they need to confidently recommend our products for their patients," said John Incledon, the President of Hisamitsu America Inc. "Prior to the RELIEF study, Hisamitsu supported the clinical evaluation of another one of it products, the Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch LARGE. The study was a well-controlled clinical study involving 208 patients with mild to moderate pain. Patients treated with the product experienced significantly more pain relief versus patients treated with a placebo patch and the majority of patients rated satisfaction with the product as good, very good, or excellent. This study ultimately supported an FDA approval of a New Drug Application for the product, making it not only the first FDA approved OTC topical analgesic, but also the only OTC pain reliever, systemic or topical, that is approved to treat mild and moderate pain. We will continue to provide people in pain and health care practitioners with clinical proof of the efficacy and safety of our products, so stay tuned for more news to come."

Oral pain relievers, mainly opioids, NSAIDs and acetaminophen are leading causes of serious adverse events (SAE's); addiction, hospitalization for CV & GI risk, liver toxicity, and death. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that since 2000, over 200,000 people in the USA have died from overdose of prescription opioids. In 2016, the CDC issued guidance to physicians managing chronic pain without opioids, that topical analgesics can be an alternative first line therapy.

Based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, Clarity Science, LLC conducts scientifically rigorous and valid research that advances innovation in science and ultimately helps healthcare professionals provide improved patient care, leading to improved patient health worldwide.

Hisamitsu America provided a grant to Clarity Science to administer and conduct the IRB-approved study to collect data on patient outcomes for Quality of Life (QoL) components, pain relief scores and assessment of severity of pain and its impact on functioning, patient satisfaction, and an evaluation of differences, reported medical conditions and other prescribed or OTC oral medications commonly associated with pain.

About Hisamitsu America:

Hisamitsu America is the US division of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., founded in 1847, which has specialized in transdermal drug delivery system technology since the introduction of its Salonpas line of patches in 1934. The Salonpas® product line, which gained early acceptance in Asia and is now registered in over 30 countries, has pioneered the development of transdermal patches to relieve pain. Since 2010, Salonpas has become one of the fastest growing OTC brands in the USA.

Salonpas became the most popular pain relief brand on Facebook in 2020. For more information, https://us.hisamitsu/.

Burgeoning Demand for Asphalt Additives and Agro-chemicals Provides Immense Traction to Fatty Amines Market – future market Insights

Rising agricultural activities due to expanding population in developing countries is bolstering usage of fatty amines, particularly in agrochemicals. This is due to the increasing number of mouths to feed in the future. As land under food cultivation increases, manufacturers are in a position to generate more profits in the agro-chemical sector.

DUBAI / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Future Market Insights The global fatty amines market is all set to surpass the US$ 2 Bn mark by the end of 2020, projects future market insights in its report. Market growth is being driven by widespread applications across a number of industries including water treatment, agro-chemicals and asphalt additives. Besides, proliferation of novel applications such as detergents, paints & coatings, fabric softener, and mining are also pulling up fatty amines market growth.

Fatty amines are largely consumed in the paints and coatings industry as additives to protect the paints from getting tainted while under storage. Based on such widespread usage, the fatty amines market is anticipated to continue generating high revenue in the coming future as well. However, the coronavirus pandemic is anticipated to induce a certain degree of stagnation in the market, attributed to restricted production cycles and diminishing output.

"Surging popularity of fatty amines as an important raw ingredients across end-use industries is motivating key market players to introduce novel formulations. Market players are leaving no stone unturned to accelerate research and development in this direction," says a prominent FMI analyst.

Global Fatty Amines Market- Key Takeaways

The global fatty amines market expanded moderately at a CAGR of 4.2% between 2015 and 2020.
Tertiary fatty amines captured nearly half of the global fatty amines market, exhibiting a modest CAGR during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific excluding Japan dominated the global fatty amines market in terms of region. Rapidly expanding automobile production in China is attributed as the major reason for growth.
However, North America and Western Europe emerged as high-ranking regions with CAGRs of 6.4% and 5.3% respectively.

Global Fatty Amines Market- Prominent Drivers

Burgeoning demand for water treatment products wherein fatty amines are used as corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants and biocides is catapulting the fatty amines market to greater heights.
Increased adoption in the construction industry attributed to good adhesive properties has accelerated its usage as an agent to bind asphalt and mineral aggregates.

Global Fatty Amines Market- Key Constraints

Volatile raw material prices and uncertainties in the availability of fatty amines is hampering the expansion of the global fatty amines market.
Governments world over have imposed strict guidelines regarding fatty amines usage due to claims of it having cancerous effects on human beings.

Anticipated Coronavirus Outbreak Impact

The coronavirus pandemic has led to a massive economic downturn across major end-use industries. The impact of the pandemic on the fatty amines market has varied as per the impact on its end-use industries. For instance, the agrochemical industry has been under doldrums, ranging from raw material supplies to availability of finished products. China is a major producer of active ingredients utilized in manufacturing agrochemicals as well as ready-made pesticides that are available across the world. Being the epicenter of the pandemic, the Chinese factories are anticipated to remain shut for an indefinite time period. Additionally, countries dependent on Chinese agrochemicals are also facing severe crunches as imports and exports have been curbed. The imposition of lockdowns have forced factory workers to go into self-isolation, leading to a shortage of labor. Based on these developments, the fatty amines market in the agrochemicals sector has witnessed a sharp decline.

Similarly, the construction industry has suffered significant losses due to the pandemic. Mandatory social distancing measures have compelled construction companies to urge its employees to remain indoors, as they are especially at a high risk of contracting the deadly virus through contact. Consequently, all activities have ceased, leading to a decline in the demand for fatty amines as asphalt additives. However, a silver lining exists for the cosmetics industry, wherein fatty amines are used as an important ingredient, driven by rising interest in sustainable chemicals in cosmetic products. Although first-quarter sales were weak in the wake of widespread store closures, vendors are reorienting their product portfolios to include hand sanitizers and offering free beauty services for frontline responders. Moreover, they have effectively leveraged online platforms to make their products accessible to customers, helping it stay afloat. These trends point towards a bright future for fatty amines in the cosmetics industry.

Transaction Terms

Subject to entering into the Agreements with Altus and TSX-V approval, Stellar will earn a 100% interest in Aeos Resources Ltd ("Aeos"), a wholly owned Seychelles incorporated subsidiary of the Company. Through its Ivorian subsidiary Aucrest SARL, Aeos holds a 100% interest in the Projects. The Term Sheet is subject to exclusivity provisions for 30 days following signing. The Agreement will have the following headline terms:

Altus will retain a 2.5% NSR royalty on each of the Projects.

Prikro Project

The Prikro project comprises a single 369.5 km2 exploration licence in the Prikro and Koun-Fao Departments in eastern Ivory Coast, approximately 240km northeast of the capital of Abidjan. The project is located 40km north-west of the town of Agnibilekrou and 25km west of the town of Koun-Fao, both of which can be accessed by asphalt roads from Abidjan. The licence was selected due to the presence of historically reported gold occurrences, prospective geology, and the existence of artisanal workings in the surrounding areas including along strike of a major NE-SW trending shear zone which is interpreted to traverse the licence area. Birimian-age greenstone rocks reportedly crop out extensively across the Prikro licence and represent Paleoproterozoic meta-sedimentary units, with associated granite to diorite intrusives, which are the dominant host setting for gold deposits across West Africa.

Zenoula Project

The Zenoula project comprises a single 400km2 licence application which is currently pending grant in the Marahoue Department in central Ivory Coast, approximately 300km north of Abidjan. The project is located 100km north-west of the city of Yamoussoukro which can be accessed by asphalt roads from Abidjan. Zenoula is centred within a NNE trending Birimian age granite greenstone belt, 65km along strike from the Abujar project of ASX listed Tietto Minerals Limited. Mineralization hosted on this property is not necessarily indicative of the Zenoula project. Zenoula targets a 22 km long oblique ENE trending structure, interpreted by historic air magnetic data. Geologically, the project reportedly comprises metasediments, metabasalts and syntectonic granitoid intrusives.

Qualified Person

The technical disclosure in this regulatory announcement has been read and approved by Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus. A graduate of the University of Southampton in Geology (Hons), Steven Poulton also holds a Master's degree from the Camborne School of Mines (Exeter University) in Mining Geology. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and has over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and is a Qualified Person under the AIM rules and National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Migom Global Corp. Announces the Acquisition of Migom Bank

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Migom Global Corp., (OTC PINK:MGOM) a US publicly traded company focused on building synergistic ventures in international banking, has recently notified the SEC of the acquisition of Migom Bank (www.migom.com), an international full-service "neobank" domiciled and regulated in the small Caribbean state of Commonwealth of Dominica.

"Today, businesses across multiple jurisdictions and industries have faced numerous hurdles opening and maintaining simple operating bank accounts. Arbitrarily frozen funds, suddenly blocked accounts, and other previously rare limitations have become a commonplace occurrence in daily banking for many regular businesses. This type of practice is often disguised as "de-risking" in the name of compliance, which in itself has morphed from the necessary but secondary function into a universal shroud weaponized by some of the mainstream banks in their purge of unwanted business," stated Thomas Schaetti, the President of Migom Global Corp. He continued: "In reality, those large international banks seem to be simply discriminating small and medium-sized, transaction-heavy businesses, which they don't see as a profitable market. As the result, millions of unbanked or under-banked entrepreneurs have a hard time growing their companies and contributing to the economic development of their industries and regions. We identify ourselves with these companies and are making our best effort to position Migom Bank as the destination financial institution serving their needs around the world".

Migom Global Corp. aims to bridge the gaps in international banking by building a network of banks and affiliated businesses to provide seamless integration of traditional regulated banking with new-age financial services and emerging fintech solutions. Committed to solving the problem of under-banked businesses and individuals worldwide, the Company recently notified the SEC of the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Migom Bank, a full-service global bank for the digital age that is available to customers across a variety of industries and regions.

Migom Bank offers a full suite of e-banking services tailored to the needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs, including online account opening, holding and operating corporate and individual bank accounts with full online access to account management and detailed reporting, international SWIFT / SEPA transfers in multiple currencies, issuing prepaid debit cards, certificates of deposit, investment, savings accounts and other services. The regulatory information enumerating multiple services provided by the bank is published on its website.

In addition to providing traditional banking services, Migom Bank offers its account holders one of a kind crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto OTC functionality, including secure custody and instant-execution trading of crypto assets with unlimited liquidity volumes, best global spot prices and immediate availability of funds or crypto assets.
