EAST is a multichain NFT marketplace and ecosystem that prioritizes user experience and specializes in producing fan engagement opportunities. Headlining fashion NFTs on EAST NFT will be Sara Khan, an Indian model, who won the Miss Bhopal title in 2007. Prateik Jain, an Indian model, actor and the winner of Mister World India 2014 and Cindy Sirinya Bishop, a supermodel, actress & host of Asia’s Next Top Model.

The fashion industry is embracing NFTs and blockchain technology, as part of their ambition to improve product knowledge and enhance overall consumer experience. As fashion models, celebrities, artists exhibit their works as NFTs, a profound transition in the global fashion industry is imminent.

Cindy Sirinya Bishop’s NFT series will celebrate the modern woman to promote empowerment. It is based on her creative movement against gender-based violence ‘#DontTellMeHowToDress.’ Partial proceeds from the sales will go towards centres for survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

Sara Khan and Prateik Jain’s collections are due to be revealed later in the year.

NFT art is revolutionary for visual and fine art artists alike to monetize their products. Digital artists have been breaking records since the rise of NFTs in 2021. ArtSmiley has over 1400 registered artists and is a multifaceted community creating an ambiance desired by art lovers. Their aim is to democratize NFT for true Art aficionados.

Sarosh Lodhi and Trikansh Sharma, two award-winning photographers, will also tokenize unique images for collectors soon.

Asian entertainment has significantly influenced the world’s pop culture. In collaboration with Klaytn blockchain, the ‘House of Y’ NFT campaign sees the publication of entertainment NFTs from popular LGBTQ movies and series. The collections include legendary titles such as TharnType 1 & 2, Don’t Say No, Second Chance The Series, and more, for which Thailand is famous. Over 100,000 NFTs will be available as iconic collectibles for fans worldwide.

EAST NFT is also tokenizing assets from International award winning film Bulletproof Anand. Alok Sharma’s short film resurrects the Bollywood gangster trope from the 1990s. The film, which stars Sanjai MishraAnshuman Jha, and Jaaved Jaaferi, is a one-of-a-kind tribute to Bruce Lee and Rajesh Khanna’s seminal film.

101 India, a subsidiary of Offbeet Media Group, has been a pioneering digital content brand, producing original tales from all genres. 101 India will tokenize high-class entertainment content on EAST NFT that spans the Indian continent.

Thailand’s most reputable news outlet, Bangkok Post, will celebrate their 75th anniversary by releasing memorabilia NFTs. Rare photo archives containing countless award winning historical visuals will be purchasable on EAST NFT. Anyone can find, collect, and trade historical moments reported by the Bangkok Post’s journalists over generations, whether as photos, cartoons, or graphics.

Cinemaazi is a research center set up by the Indian Cinema Heritage Foundation to document the rich history and heritage of Indian cinema and its people. The Foundation houses an exquisite collection of Indian cinema memorabilia. For wider awareness about the Indian cinema heritage, Cinemaazi will tokenize a part of its collection on EAST NFT.

“Ultimately content is king and the adoption of NFTs in Asia has grown tremendously. Partnering with renowned content and their strong fanbases, the NFT collections are sure to resonate with the global community,” comments Chief Executive Officer, Sithi Srichawla.

EAST NFT is backed by two prominent conglomerates – Fico Corporation and Thoresen Thai Agencies (TTA). They have developed an optimized payment gateway that has made purchasing NFTs super simple, as collectors can pay using fiat money or cryptocurrency. Creators can list their products via auctions, direct sale, raffles, or mystery boxes and receive up to 10% royalty commission after each secondary sale.

“We strive to revolutionize the accessibility and application of blockchain technology and NFTs,” adds Sithi Srichawla.

By combining a pan-and-tilt panoramic lens and a fixed 180-degree wide-angle lens, one H9c Dual smartly secures large areas with performance better than that of two ordinary ones.
HOOFDDORP, Netherlands, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EZVIZ, a leading global player in innovative smart home security, proudly introduces the H9c Dual series, its latest dual-lens outdoor pan-and-tilt cameras that redefine smart protection for homes and small businesses. With options in 2K and 3K resolutions, their groundbreaking design combines a sharp bullet camera and a flexible PT camera, addressing complex security needs effectively. The interlinked dual lenses work collaboratively to safeguard wide property areas, detect and track activities, and offer auto-patrol options for hands-free security.

“The H9c Dual challenges traditional outdoor cameras with unrivaled vision, unmatched automation, and high versatility for basically any scenario,” said Candice Tu, the lead product manager, “EZVIZ leads the way in the development and application of advanced dual-lens technology. This underlines our dedication to bringing cutting-edge technology within reach for practical, everyday situations.”
At the core of the H9c Dual is its groundbreaking dual-lens technology, highlighted by EZVIZ’s distinctive co-action function. The two lenses can work independently at two static viewing angles or act together as a team. When the fixed lens detects motions, the pan-and-tilt lens automatically rotates to track the same activity. This co-action function can also be manually controlled through the EZVIZ App.
The series addresses unnoticed blind spots by offering a 180-degree comprehensive view in a single frame, supplemented by the bottom PT lens for intricate close-ups. Both lenses, with high resolutions of 2K/3K, use built-in AI chips to detect people and vehicles in customizable zones, ensuring users are informed of crucial activities. Users can set up to four patrol spots for the PT lens to complete automatic rotations on a schedule.
Equipped with powerful LEDs, the H9c Dual provides color night vision up to 40 meters and warns potential trespassers with a loud siren and dazzling flashlight upon detection. Offering superior protection compared to a traditional two-camera system, the H9c is a breeze to set up thanks to its adaptable mounting design. Users can manage and control their H9c through the user-friendly EZVIZ App, and enjoy seamless integration with prevailing voice assistants and the larger EZVIZ ecosystem.

Red light therapy for repairing spinal cord injury passes milestone

Published

red-light-therapy-for-repairing-spinal-cord-injury-passes-milestone

BIRMINGHAM, England, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) could benefit from future treatment to repair nerve connections using red and near-infrared light.

The method, invented by University of Birmingham scientists and patented by University of Birmingham Enterprise, delivers light directly to the site of the injury. 
Their latest research, published in Bioengineering and Translational Medicine, determined an optimal ‘dose’ for this novel approach, and showed it can deliver therapeutic improvements including significant restoration of sensation and movement, and regeneration of damaged nerve cells. 
Researchers led by Professor Zubair Ahmed used cell models of SCI to determine the frequency and duration of light required to achieve maximum restoration of function and stimulate nerve cell regrowth. 
They found delivery at a wavelength of 660nm for one minute a day increased cell viability (the number of live cells) by 45% over five days’ treatment. 
Professor Ahmed said: “The effect of 660nm light was both neuroprotective, meaning it improved survival of nerve cells, and neuroregenerative, meaning it stimulated nerve cell growth.” 
The researchers also investigated the effect of light therapy in preclinical models of SCI, using an implantable device and transcutaneous delivery with the light source placed against the skin. They showed comparable results for both methods, with a one-minute dose of 660nm light, delivered daily for seven days resulting in reduced tissue scarring, increased levels of proteins associated with nerve cell regeneration, improvements in the connections between cells and significant functional recovery. 
This is the first time transcutaneous and direct light delivery have been compared in SCI. Professor Ahmed said: “To make light therapy viable for treating SCI in humans an implantable device will be required, to provide line of sight to damaged tissue and the opportunity for greater accuracy and standardise dosing without impedance due to the thickness of the skin and other tissues surrounding the spinal cord.”
The researchers are planning to develop an implantable device for use in humans with traumatic SCI. They have already received further funding and are seeking commercial partners or investors to develop a prototype device to take into first-in-man clinical trials.
