    Surgical Tourism: Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Meegan Gruber Warns of Hidden Patient Risks

    Dr. Gruber provides a guide for surgeon evaluation alongside complication prevention strategies and domestic alternative options which patients should consider.

    TAMPA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Dr. Meegan Gruber, MD, PhD, who serves as a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon warns patients to research all safety aspects of surgical tourism prior to scheduling foreign procedures. Each year approximately 150,000 to 320,000 U.S. citizens choose to get medical treatment abroad for cosmetic surgery operations which presents multiple medical and practical and legal dangers to patients when not properly organized.

    The appeal of low costs and immediate appointment availability together with eye-catching before-and-after images motivates Dr. Gruber. “But surgery is not a vacation. The choice of surgical location and your operating doctor along with your preoperative and postoperative care management process matters equally to the surgical procedure itself.

    Five risks patients often underestimate

    • Drug-resistant infections. Medical facilities with poor sterilization methods and insufficient oversight have caused difficult to treat infection outbreaks during surgical procedures. The verification process of infection control standards and development of concrete follow-up plans stands as an essential requirement.

    • Travel + surgery = clot risk. The combination of body contouring surgery with extended periods of travel by flight or car increases the chances of developing DVT/PE. Your surgeon must advise you to spend recovery time in the hospital before traveling home.

    • Credentials and facilities vary. American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certification stands as the specialty standard because ABMS recognizes it in the United States. The addition of hospital OR credentialing with AAAHC or QUAD A facility accreditation enhances patient safety standards.

    • Continuity-of-care gaps. Local physicians face delays in treating complications because they do not have access to your operative records or implant details which results in increased costs.

    • Limited legal and financial recourse. The different legal systems of various countries create obstacles to resolving problems because each jurisdiction has its own approach to medical malpractice and device monitoring and patient safeguards.

    A quick safety checklist from Dr. Gruber

    • Check if the surgeon holds ABPS certification and matches their name and specialty while asking about their experience performing your target procedure.

    • Verify that your medical facility holds accreditation from AAAHC or QUAD A or hospital OR status and that emergency procedures are in place.

    • The anesthesiology details must be confirmed together with information about who will provide the anesthesia. Local anesthesia is suitable for qualified patients but general anesthesia is safer in certain cases and full information about the plan should be provided.

    • Your recovery period needs to be planned to reduce blood clot risks as well as get medical clearance before departing.

    • Before your trip you need to arrange follow-up care through defining the number of visits and weekend/night coverage and establishing what will happen during urgent medical situations.

    Safer alternatives, without crossing borders

    High-quality care performed domestically near patients’ homes provides the safest option when patients need full continuity of medical services before and after surgery. The patients at Gruber Plastic Surgery undergo candidacy screening and receive photography-guided planning and meticulous aftercare services. Local-anesthesia patients maintain continuous communication with their healthcare team during surgical procedures and general anesthesia patients receive detailed preoperative and postoperative monitoring plans. The Out of Town Patient Guide at our practice assists patients who travel within the United States to organize safe medical itineraries with suitable recovery periods and postoperative appointments.

    A word from Dr. Gruber

    “Prioritize safety over savings. Patients must verify professional credentials while selecting facilities that have received accreditation and they need to allow sufficient time for safe recovery. When you are not sure about something, request a second medical opinion. Our team along with I provide risk-focused consults to help you make well-informed decisions with confidence.”

  • Deemos Wins SIGGRAPH 2025 Best Paper Award, Debuts “Rodin Gen-2” Text-to-3D Foundation Model

    Deemos Wins SIGGRAPH 2025 Best Paper Award, Debuts “Rodin Gen-2” Text-to-3D Foundation Model

    VANCOUVER, BC – August 13th, 2025 – Deemos, a pioneering research company at the forefront of generative AI for 3D content, is celebrating a triumphant week at SIGGRAPH 2025, marked by winning the conference’s prestigious Best Paper Award and successfully debuting its powerful new foundation model, Hyper3D Rodin Gen-2. This victory marks the company’s first win after three nominations at the premier computer graphics conference.

    The pinnacle of Deemos’s presence at the event was the recognition of its technical paper, “CAST: Component-Aligned 3D Scene Reconstruction from an RGB Image,” with the Best Paper Award. This top honor validated the paper’s groundbreaking approach to analyzing a single 2D picture and intelligently reconstructing it into a complex, component-level 3D scene. The work represents a significant leap beyond simple object creation, demonstrating an advanced understanding of object composition crucial for building detailed virtual worlds.

    Building on this profound research, Deemos provided attendees with a hands-on look at the future of digital content creation at its booth. The team conducted live, interactive demonstrations of Hyper3D Rodin Gen-2, a versatile foundation model that serves as a new engine for 3D asset generation.

This process, which the company calls the “Vibe Modeling” era, moves beyond the technical complexities of traditional 3D software, allowing creativity to flow directly from idea to asset. The model’s ability to generate individual, editable parts of a larger object was a key point of interest for professionals seeking to integrate the technology into their production pipelines.

    “Winning the Best Paper Award at SIGGRAPH is a tremendous honor and a powerful validation of our team’s persistent, research-driven approach to solving fundamental challenges in 3D AI,” said Qixuan Zhang, CTO of Deemos. “It was incredibly rewarding to share this moment with the community. With Hyper3D Rodin Gen-2, we are turning our most advanced research into a tangible, powerful tool. The enthusiastic reception at SIGGRAPH confirms our belief that this technology will fundamentally change the workflow for 3D artists, game developers, and virtual world builders, making it faster, smarter, and more intuitive than ever before.”

    The company’s deep expertise was further showcased through a series of highly-attended technical paper presentations. In addition to presenting the award-winning “CAST” paper, the Deemos team also presented “BANG: Dividing 3D Assets via Generative Exploded Dynamics,” which details a novel method for deconstructing 3D models. They also presented collaborative research with Tsinghua University on “Facial Appearance Capture at Home with Patch-Level Reflectance Prior,” highlighting innovations in realistic human digital rendering.

    The successful debut and industry recognition at SIGGRAPH 2025 mark a pivotal moment for Deemos, solidifying its position as a leader in generative 3D.

  • ClearSight Challenges Common LASIK Myths and Misconceptions with Facts and Proven Results

    ClearSight Challenges Common LASIK Myths and Misconceptions with Facts and Proven Results

    ClearSight has released a new resource, LASIK Myths and Misconceptions, aimed at addressing the misinformation that often keeps people from considering LASIK as a safe and effective vision correction option. The article identifies and explains the truth behind 12 of the most common misunderstandings about LASIK, including concerns about pain, safety, cost, recovery, and long-term results. With decades of clinical data and thousands of successful patient outcomes, ClearSight’s team of refractive surgery specialists hopes to empower individuals to make confident, informed decisions about their vision.

    According to the article, one of the most prevalent myths is that LASIK is painful. In reality, patients receive numbing eye drops before the procedure, which eliminates pain during surgery. While some may feel minor pressure during the process and experience temporary dryness or mild discomfort afterward, most report the experience as surprisingly comfortable. Another common concern is safety, with some believing LASIK is too risky or even capable of causing blindness. ClearSight emphasizes that LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures in modern medicine, with an exceptional safety record. Serious complications are rare, and the practice’s use of advanced laser platforms and diagnostic tools such as corneal topography further reduces potential risks.

    The resource also addresses the misconception that LASIK only works for mild vision problems. ClearSight routinely performs LASIK for a range of refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Modern technology allows correction of more complex prescriptions, meaning many who previously thought they were ineligible for LASIK may now qualify after a proper evaluation. Another persistent myth is that LASIK results wear off over time. The article explains that the vision correction achieved through LASIK is permanent, with any changes years later typically related to the natural aging process, not the procedure itself.

    Cost is another barrier fueled by misunderstanding. While some assume LASIK is prohibitively expensive, ClearSight notes that it can save money over time by eliminating the ongoing cost of glasses, contact lenses, and related supplies. The practice offers financing options to make LASIK more accessible and emphasizes the value of factoring in the daily convenience and long-term savings when considering the procedure. The belief that everyone is automatically a candidate for LASIK is also clarified—while not everyone qualifies, many who assume they are ineligible are surprised to learn they can safely undergo the surgery after a thorough examination.

    Night vision concerns are another topic of misinformation. Some patients worry that glare or halos will be a permanent problem, especially while driving at night. ClearSight explains that while mild visual effects may occur in the early healing period, these typically fade as the eyes adjust. Advanced laser technology used at the practice is designed to reduce nighttime visual disturbances and improve contrast sensitivity, often resulting in sharper night vision than patients had with glasses or contacts.

    The article also dispels the idea that LASIK is a new or experimental treatment. LASIK has been performed for more than 25 years and is supported by extensive research in the field of ophthalmology. Millions of people worldwide, including medical professionals, pilots, and athletes, have trusted the procedure for its precision and predictable outcomes. Another overlooked benefit is quality of life. While many view LASIK solely as a way to eliminate corrective lenses, ClearSight patients frequently report improvements that extend beyond convenience—such as greater confidence, more freedom in sports and outdoor activities, and the ability to wake up with clear vision.

    Finally, ClearSight addresses the belief that LASIK is purely cosmetic. LASIK is a medically guided, highly technical refractive surgery that improves visual acuity, reduces dependence on corrective lenses, and addresses real vision problems affecting daily function. It is performed with the same level of precision and care as any other form of eye surgery, with the goal of delivering both visual clarity and long-term eye health.

    By publishing LASIK Myths and Misconceptions, ClearSight aims to replace confusion with clarity and give prospective patients the facts they need to weigh their options. The practice stresses that the decision to undergo LASIK should be based on accurate information and a personalized evaluation. Misinformation can prevent people from exploring a procedure that could significantly improve their vision and quality of life.

    ClearSight invites reporters, editors, and medical writers to explore the full article and speak directly with its experienced surgical team to gain additional insights into the safety, benefits, and candidacy requirements for LASIK. Patients interested in learning whether they qualify are encouraged to schedule a consultation to receive a thorough eye health evaluation and customized treatment plan.

  • Applied DNA Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

    Applied DNA Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

    STONY BROOK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:APDN) (“Applied DNA” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on providing nucleic acid production solutions for the biopharmaceutical and diagnostics industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2025 ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s Form 10-Q for its fiscal third quarter can be viewed on the SEC Filings page of its Investor Relations website. The Company will not host a conference call to discuss these results. Applied DNA investor relations remains available for questions at investors@adnas.com .

    Following its previously announced recent restructuring and workforce reductions (“Corporate Actions”), the Company, through its majority-owned LineaRx, Inc. subsidiary, has transitioned to a pure play provider of synthetic DNA and mRNA manufacturing solutions for advanced biotherapeutics, such as gene therapies, personalized medicine, adoptive cell therapies, messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics, and DNA vaccines, as well as diagnostic applications that utilize chemically-modified DNA. The Company is commercializing three distinct and complementary technology solutions for DNA production:

    • LineaDNA™: A proprietary, cell-free DNA production platform that uses a large-scale PCR process to rapidly and efficiently produce high-fidelity, synthetic DNA as a market-ready alternative to plasmid DNA (pDNA). LineaDNA is applicable to biotherapeutics development and production, serving as the starting material for mRNA therapeutics and vaccines and as a critical component in numerous in vitro diagnostics (IVDs).

    • LineaRNAP™: A next-generation T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) used to transcribe DNA into mRNA. Designed as a direct replacement for wild-type T7 RNAP currently utilized in conventional IVT mRNA systems that use synthetic or pDNA templates, LineaRNAP incorporates a patented DNA-binding domain that delivers high mRNA yields while reducing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) contamination, the latter a common byproduct in mRNA production.

    • LineaIVT™: An integrated system that combines the LineaDNA and LineaRNAP technologies and their respective benefits. For mRNA manufacturers, we believe LineaIVT offers reduced dsRNA contamination and expedited mRNA drug substance production, among other advantages.

    Management Commentary

    “Our operational activities center on repositioning Applied DNA as a single business that is aligned with our proven core competencies, which underpin our commercially available, cell-free DNA and mRNA manufacturing solutions offerings. With operations now right-sized, coupled with active marketing under the LineaRx brand that is now synonymous with synthetically produced DNA, we look forward to delivering value to shareholders,” stated Judy Murrah, chairperson, president, and CEO of Applied DNA.

    Recent Corporate and Operational Updates

    Financial

    • Monthly net cash burn from operations in the reported quarter declined approximately 19% on a sequential basis and 25% compared to the prior year period due to cost-cutting and optimization initiatives implemented in prior quarters. The Company expects a further reduction in the quarter ending September 30, 2025, reflecting the implementation of Corporate Actions.

    Customer Acquisition and Repeat Orders

    • Received a multi-gram follow-on order for LineaDNA valued at over $600 thousand from a global manufacturer of IVDs for use in a cancer diagnostic application.

    • Added a U.S.-based mRNA contract development manufacturing organization as a customer for LineaDNA IVT templates. This customer is also evaluating LineaRNAP.

    • Shipped multiple LineaDNA sequences to a U.S.-based developer of a novel vaccine delivery system.

    • Subsequent to quarter-end, sales quotes were provided to a large public biotech and a multinational biotech tools company for LineaDNA to be used in gene editing applications.

    Product and Platform Development

    • Launched the LineaRx IVT Discovery Kit, which enables potential customers to easily and rapidly evaluate the benefits of LineaDNA and LineaIVT performance against conventional mRNA production methods.

    • Launched industry marketing for LineaRNAP as a standalone product based on recent Company data confirming that LineaRNAP can be used in conventional mRNA production workflows to enable higher mRNA yields and integrity with reduced dsRNA as compared with conventional wild-type T7 RNAP. The Company also continues to market LineaRNAP as a component of its integrated LineaIVT solution.

    • Initiated ISO 13485 certification, an internationally recognized quality management standard aligned with GMP, to enhance customer trust, expand market opportunities, and elevate LineaRx’s competitive position. The Company expects to be ISO 13485-certified in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

    • Participated in multiple mRNA-focused conferences to engage potential customers and showcase its platforms’ capabilities as part of LineaRx’s ongoing sales and marketing strategy.

    Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

    As part of the Corporate Actions, the Company announced the closure of its MDx Testing Services business segment (Applied DNA Clinical Labs) to focus exclusively on LineaRx. Financial results for the reported and prior periods have been recast to separately report discontinued operations and the results of continuing operations.

    In February 2025, the Company announced the wind down of its DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services business segment and continues to terminate business activities in this segment in accordance with customer agreements. Financial results for this segment are included in the results of continuing operations for the reported and prior periods.

    Please refer to segment information detailed in the ‘Note H – Segment Information’ section of the Form 10-Q for the period reported for more information.

    On March 13, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that effected a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, effective March 14, 2025. On May 29, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that effected a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, effective June 2, 2025. All warrant, option, share, and per share information in this press release gives retroactive effect to these reverse stock splits.

    Summary Financial Results

    • Total revenues: $304 thousand compared to $473 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

    • Operating loss: $3.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.3 million in the prior period.

    • Adjusted EBITDA: Negative $3.9 million, compared to negative $3.2 million in the prior period.

    • Monthly net cash burn: Monthly net cash burn from operations in the reported period was $934 thousand, compared to $1.15 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $1.25 million in the prior fiscal year period.

    • Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025: $4.7 million, which includes $723 thousand of proceeds from the exercise of Series A warrants received during the reported period. Additional proceeds totaling $292 thousand were received subsequent to the reported period from the exercise of Series A warrants.

    Information about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA and monthly net cash burn from operations, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core businesses. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our businesses by excluding non-cash expenses that may not be indicative of our recurring operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

    “EBITDA” – is defined as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

    “Adjusted EBITDA” – is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) other non-cash expenses and non-cash gains/income.

    “Monthly net cash burn” – is defined as total monthly cash outflow, including all operating costs, reduced by cash inflow from revenue.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    The statements made by Applied DNA in this press release may be “forward-looking” in nature within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe Applied DNA’s future plans, projections, strategies, and expectations, and are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Applied DNA. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s expectations and projections about future events and future trends affecting our business and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding its goal to position the Company for long-term growth and value creation and the potential to achieve that goal, including the future success of its LineaDNA, LineaRNAP and LineaIVT technologies.

    Revolutionizing Medical Consultant Interview Preparation: New Digital Tools Launch for Aspiring Professionals

    Medical Interview Preparation is rolling out a series of digital products to improve how aspiring medical professionals get ready for their interviews. These tools make the preparation process more interactive and convenient, ensuring it’s thorough and accessible for everyone involved.

    Among the offerings are online tools such as e-books, video tutorials, webinars, and full online courses. Each of these tools is designed to meet the varied needs of candidates preparing for their medical interviews. This allows candidates to tailor their study sessions to fit their unique schedules and learning styles. This adaptability means candidates can work on their medical consultant interview preparation whenever it suits them.

    What sets these digital products apart is how they focus on practical application. With mock interviews and scenario-based exercises, candidates can practice in settings that mimic real interview situations. This hands-on approach helps them apply theoretical knowledge and reflect on their performance, getting them ready for the types of questions they might face during actual interviews.

    Nalin Wickramasuriya, a notable figure in the medical field and head coach at Medical Interview Preparation, emphasizes the importance of having a practical mindset in interviews. Wickramasuriya points out, “Be conversational in your interview by explaining the ways in which you can help the patients and the department you are aiming to join. It’s crucial to avoid treating the interview like a viva exam from medical school days.”

    This approach resonates with the entire range of the company’s digital products, encouraging candidates to engage in genuine conversations and communicate clearly with interviewers. The focus is to move beyond traditional study methods and push candidates to think critically about the roles they are pursuing.

    Another vital component of these digital products is community support. Online forums and collaborative study groups offer a space for candidates to connect, share insights, and learn from one another’s experiences. This shared learning environment helps create a sense of community among candidates, which can ease the stress often associated with interview preparation.

    Medical Interview Preparation has found that candidates who incorporate digital programs into their preparation, especially those who participate in four online coaching sessions, achieve a 97% success rate in UK consultant interviews. This high success rate highlights how effective these digital programs are, combining well-structured content with personal coaching and peer-to-peer interaction.

    The mission of providing medical interview help is central to Medical Interview Preparation. They offer a wide range of services, from one-on-one consultations to group programs, all of which complement their digital tools and offer support for every stage of the preparation process. Whether it’s personalized advice, group exercises, or self-paced learning, Medical Interview Preparation equips candidates with everything needed to succeed.

    The launch of these digital tools is a significant advancement toward making medical interview preparation more efficient and accessible. By integrating technology with their services, the company shows its dedication to adapting to the needs of future medical professionals, emphasizing readiness and adaptability in a fast-paced field.

    Aspiring candidates who want to improve their interview skills and learn the best strategies should check out these new digital resources. These tools are designed to help candidates present themselves well and face the challenges of medical interviews with confidence.

    Anyone interested in exploring the variety of digital products and services, or seeking more information on medical consultant interview preparation methods, can find additional resources and guidance by visiting the company’s website. This is an ideal starting point for every aspiring medical professional on their journey. Additionally, clients can access a free guide on how to achieve desirable interview outcomes while overcoming common challenges, providing even more value for individuals preparing for medical interviews.
