  • EtherLite – the Next-Gen Blockchain for the Current DeFi landscape

    New Delhi [India], June 21: Starting from mid-2016, Blockchains have found close operational relevance to the field of Logistics and e-votings. Since then, many businesses have been reluctant to fully implement Blockchain at the core of the business structure and have begun testing the technology, and are conducting low-level implementation to gauge its effects on organizational efficiency. But unfortunately, major Blockchain platforms have encountered congestion and attacks, demanding better security and scalability for building DApps.

    But now, ‘EtherLite Foundation has come up with a solution to the above problem by excluding the issues and getting benefited from Ethereum’s existing infrastructure, and provides a stable and sustainable blockchain ecosystem. In compliance with EU Laws, the ‘EtherLite Foundation’, is now distributing utility tokens in the form of EtherLite (ETL). ETL kick-started its launch with a massive airdrop from May 01 till May 15. Now, Initial Bonding Curve Offering (IBCO) is ongoing till June 30 and this Initial Coin Offering (ICO) will later be listed for public trading on International exchanges on July 01 this year.

    Ariane Cardoso, Member, EtherLite Foundation says “As per information available on the internet, in 2019, it was estimated that around $2.9 billion were invested in blockchain technology, which represents an 89% increase from the year prior. Individual use of blockchain technology has also greatly increased since 2016. According to statistics in 2020, there were more than 40 million blockchain wallets 2020 in comparison to around 10 million blockchain wallets in 2016. Additionally, a premier global market intelligence firm has also estimated that corporate investment into blockchain technology will reach $12.4 billion by 2022. Furthermore, blockchain technology has the potential to generate an annual business value of more than $3 trillion by 2030.”

    Talking about EtherLite (ETL), Ariane Cardoso says, “ETL guarantees to be a faster and immutable Blockchain Network as it is built on the Proof-Of-Stake consensus mechanism making it an extremely fast processing Blockchain network at much lower costs. It is extremely scalable churning fast block times ~5S AND 10,000+ TPS and supports technologies like WEB3 that gives it a high-throughput rate.”

    “Furthermore, what makes ETL great is its compatibility features. It is fully compatible with EVM, DAO, and smart-contract, giving developers a full range of options to experiment with and build explicit decentralized applications. ETL’s One-Click DApp migration tool will make the ecosystem widely interoperable. It also offers options for end-users to take part in and earn passively and handsomely. ETL Staking is one such feature that will allow users to keep the ETL network stable by staking their ETL coins and earn rewards. ETL being a community-driven project and believes in giving real value to its users; ETL Wallet will serve well for those who want to hold, send or receive funds easily. It connects easily to hardware wallets and delivers a seamless experience” she adds.

    She also suggests all the Ethereum (ETH) holders just keep holding and accumulating more ETH to win more ETL.

  • Indian Pharmaceutical Company conducts Clinical Analysis for the Supplement to battle against Post COVID-19 difficulties

    ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 for post-resolution of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients

     

    Mumbai, Maharashtra [India], June 21: According to recent stats, 2.77 crores of COVID-19 sufferers were recovered from 2.88 crores cases in India. All corporate offices and businesses want to operate outdoors but worry much about the Post Covid difficulties and resolutions. While companies were involved in launching products and promoting claims that it fights the Coronavirus, researchers ran clinical tests to confirm how consuming immunity supplements resolve mild to moderate COVID-19 patients.

    Dr. Neha Shah, Dr. Rohit Parate, and Dr. Abhay Vispute published their findings on a new COVID-19 clinical trial in the Medical Journal of Advances in Clinical Toxicology. A randomized, open-label, 2 Arm, prospective study was investigated for the safety and efficacy of the health supplements. Fortunately, ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 as supplemental therapy was confirmed to be beneficial in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients and showed overall clinical improvement in WHO 7-point ordinal scale.

    They investigated to evaluate the effect on the primary endpoint of the experimental regimen through pairwise comparisons of the testing regimen ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 with a standard-of-care control arm and under a sequential design. The clinical trials were carried out on 60 patients in two centers, SRV Hospital, Mumbai and Chirayu Medical College, and Hospital, Bhopal.

    As the World Health Organization rightly defines probiotics as “live microorganisms that administer adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 are different as they increase immunity and improves digestion, aiding in reducing fatigue. In addition, it’s a nutraceuticals product, the only product with clinical trials as a supplement to fight against Covid-19.

    Recent clinical studies indicate that this Supplement supports the recovery of covid patients. The length of time to experience the benefits of the Supplement varies by individual. Some people notice a difference within days. For others, it’s a week or ten days. For long-term benefits, it’s essential to take the immunity bundle consistently over several months. Regular, consistent use of the Supplement will provide the best results. However, missed doses of the Supplement do not cause any harm. Consume the following amount as per your daily regime.

    According to Management of Post COVID-19 Fatigue using Systemic Enzymes and Probiotics- Case Series covered by the Medical Journal of Clinical Trials and Case Studies; “The present cases support the use of a 14 days supplementation of a combination of ImmunoSEB + ProbioSEB CSC3 to improve COVID-19 induced fatigue in patients post-resolution of mild to moderate COVID-19 disease. However, there is a need for large-scale, placebo-controlled prospective studies to evaluate this effect further.”

    The team of doctors and researchers includes Dr. Neha Shah, Dr. Rohit Parate, Dr. Abhay Vispute.

    Dr. Rohit Parate, MD Medicine, Churayu Medical College, and Hospital, observes patients with a Generalised Weakness, Dry Cough, Body Ache, Loss of Appetite, and Constipation for post-covid symptoms. Whereas Dr. Kuldeep Kataria, MD Medicine, Swasthya Hospital, follows over 75% of the patients with Sleep disturbance, Severe Body Ache, Abdominal Cramps, and Heaviness in the chest.

Withholding due to the death of the loved ones in Covid, psychosis has increased in OPDs. We have seen cases of fear of getting infected or fear of spreading the infection to family members increasing, causing many palpitations, trembling, sweating in patients. Counseling and appropriate medication help along with immunity booster help maintain the mental and physical health of the patient.”

    “Throughout this pandemic situation, we tried hard to fix this unsolvable puzzle of saving lives post-covid with natural solutions that can help people who are grieving. Enzymes and probiotics are robust mechanisms for stamina and vitality, and the medicine and investigation confirm it.” conveys Dr. Neha Shah, Ph.D. Program Coordinator, Navigate a&Swog, VA Long Beach Healthcare, California.

    Mr. MukundKabra, Director, Advanced Enzymes, states, “the reason is evident for post-COVID-19 and should heal as any prevalent disease. Advanced Enzymes remedied Americans for over 30 years. Aiding to enhance immunity amongst Indians was our prime focus in this pandemic. Hence, the research-backed Immunity Bundle was made available online. Doctors should address post-COVID immunity immediately because it is affecting a lot of people’s quality of life.”

    Dr. Abhijit K Rathi, the Principal Scientist from AET, “ImmunoSEB and Biome Ultra were tested in a few hospitals, clinics, random patients and discovered their feedback. People’s difficulties before the testing were traumatizing. However, after consuming ImmunoSEB and Biome Ultra for some days, the same target group conveyed their curing stories and enhanced immunity evidence.”

  • A hilarious antidote to the pandemic gloom: The book What The Pandemic Learned From Me launched worldwide

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 16: Bangalore-based Advertising Creative Director, Anindita Das’s debut book, What The Pandemic Learned From Me has been launched on all leading e-commerce platforms. The book was announced by Evincepub Publication as the author’s modest pursuit to deliver a little relief and diversion from the pandemic’s grim realities.

    The prevalent environment of melancholy, the endless churning of social media obituaries, the gnawing fear of the virus, and the scary statistics on media were taking a toll on the mental health of most people. This inspired the author to write something that could help alleviate the situation. Like many others living away from home and coping with the challenges of surviving alone for more than a year, the author too searched for creative distractions. The result of this was many big or small discoveries about herself and a reassessment of life in general.

    Commenting on the book, Anindita says, “There is no easy way to deal with the effects and side-effects of the pandemic, but I wanted my book to offer to do whatever it could in providing some respite to people running out of new ways to amuse themselves. Considering the fear of bad news was constantly looming on the periphery, the book helped me maintain a semblance of sanity, and I hope that readers enjoy it as well.”

    The book is an easy mix of the author’s personal blunders and mind-boggling human behavior in general, strung together by a series of hilarious open letters. It’s also an attempt to reaffirm the need for a good laugh to help deal with the doom and gloom that now surrounds our lives. Priya Shiva Kumar, National Creative Director, Wunderman Thompson added, “Consider yourself invited to a ringside view of the pandemic the way you’ve never seen it before, as Anindita goes a few rounds with it, exploring its quirky, daily, funny side through a series of letters. These letters are random unexpected insights gift wrapped in a generous dose of humour and delivered to you in a voice that sometimes confides, sometimes shares but always entertains.”

    Each letter picks up a relatable theme of our lockdown life – be it our obsession with baking banana bread, growing out our beards, or finding the fanciest holiday homes in Goa. What comes out, is a light and delightful offering that anyone experiencing the pandemic era shouldn’t miss. Publisher Vikram adds about the book, “We saw great merit in publishing this book, it is not only relevant for the times we are in, but it also has important messages on self-preservation and healing, packed into a fresh and equally entertaining book.”

    Some important information:

    • It’s a collection of letters addressed to the most unlikely of recipients, filled with pithy observations, irreverent and ruthless humor about the little idiosyncrasies of life in lockdown.
    • Each of these perfectly bite-sized letters is a wonderful accompaniment to the massive mood swings that are our reality in the times of corona.
    • The book is part memoir, part random lists, and part mean musings.
    • It celebrates the ability to find humor in unexpected predicaments and life in general.

    Anindita Das is a Senior Creative Director at Wunderman Thompson Bangalore and has extensive experience working for leading advertising agencies across the country like Dentsu Impact, Cheil Worldwide, and former M&C Saatchi. She has launched and relaunched several iconic brands and partnered with some of the hottest businesses. An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, her work has been awarded several times for creativity and effectiveness. She has a penchant for insightful campaigns focused on gender-sensitive issues, healthcare, and education sectors. In this context, she is also volunteering for a school focused on uplifting marginalized and economically backward students in the remote northeastern region of India through innovative mind mapping techniques.
