KFSHRC Strengthens Its Position as a Fast-Growing Destination for International Patients

KFSHRC recorded a 47% surge in international patients in 2024, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing destinations for medical tourism.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC), ranked 15th globally by Brand Finance, recorded a 47% surge in international patients in 2024, strengthening its position as a fast-growing destination for medical tourism under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and expand high-value healthcare services.

The sharp rise significantly outpaces global benchmarks, where leading institutions typically record annual international patient growth in the low single digits. This momentum is underpinned by KFSHRC’s more than 50 years of expertise in tertiary and highly specialized healthcare, making it a trusted center for patients seeking advanced and complex treatment.

KFSHRC’s international appeal is anchored in its record of world-first achievements in complex specialties, including robotic liver and heart transplants, as well as leadership in advanced gene and cell therapies. These milestones underscore both the hospital’s role as a global center of excellence and Saudi Arabia’s ambition to emerge as a hub for advanced medical care.

KFSHRC’s momentum is further supported by Saudi Arabia’s geographic location, which places the Kingdom within a six-to-eight-hour flight from Europe, Africa, and much of Asia. In the post-COVID era, this accessibility has become a decisive factor, as patients increasingly seek shorter travel distances for complex medical treatments. This advantage enhances KFSHRC’s ability to sustain its rapid growth in international patient admissions and strengthens its position as one of the fastest-growing destinations for advanced care.

The growth of international admissions at KFSHRC reflects not only rising global confidence in Saudi medical expertise but also contributes directly to the Kingdom’s economic diversification goals, supporting the development of a sustainable and high-value healthcare sector under Vision 2030.

KFSHRC has been ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and 15th globally among the world’s top 250 Academic Medical Centers for the second consecutive year. It has also been recognized as the most valuable healthcare brand in the Kingdom and the Middle East, according to the 2024 Brand Finance rankings. In addition, Newsweek magazine included KFSHRC in the World’s Best 250 Hospitals and the World’s Best Smart Hospitals 2025 lists.

Continuous Innovation: Locus GameChain Enters Commercialization Stage with Serverless Gaming Solution

Globe Newswire, Technology / Leave a Comment

– Ongoing enhancement of Locus GameChain, enabling online game services without the need for central servers.
– Delivers both cost savings and stability, even for high-performance titles such as 100-player battle royales and MMORPGs.
– Provides system integration support for seamless compatibility with leading game engines.

GYEONGGI-DO, South Korea, Aug. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DIVERSE, the core technology developer behind next-generation gaming and entertainment platform CRETA, announced that it has applied new innovations to its groundbreaking serverless technology, Locus GameChain, which enables large-scale online services without central servers, pushing the solution into the commercialization stage. DIVERSE is a game-focused subsidiary of Bloom Technology, the developer of the high-performance public blockchain Locus Chain.

Locus GameChain represents a leap beyond traditional peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, introducing a blockchain-based decentralized network as a next-generation online service infrastructure. Unlike conventional server-based systems that require all users to connect through a central server, Locus GameChain allows users to connect directly with one another, ensuring stable, high-speed communication and unprecedented scalability.

The platform’s defining advantage lies in its ability to overcome one of the biggest barriers in online gaming: high server infrastructure costs that undermine profitability and hinder fair enterprise valuation. By removing the heavy upfront cost burden that has long plagued the free-to-play model before revenue generation, Locus GameChain paves the way for creative and innovative games to enter the market free from commercial constraints.

This breakthrough holds particular importance for emerging markets, where the high cost of infrastructure has long been a barrier to entry. With Locus GameChain, developers can launch global services at significantly lower upfront costs, while hundreds of millions of players gain access to a stable and affordable gaming environment. The technology is expected to serve as a catalyst for ushering the “Next Billion Gamers” into the global market—players who were previously unable to participate in mainstream gaming. Moreover, it is anticipated to greatly reduce the frequency of server shutdowns that often occur when service providers face financial constraints.

Bloom Technology, the company behind the algorithm and the original core technology, first demonstrated the capabilities of Locus GameChain in late 2022 through the global publishing platform Steam, with the release of the popular IP “Kingdom Under Fire: Gold Edition.” This marked a milestone in showcasing a fully serverless gaming experience.
YoungHyun Joo, CTO of Bloom Technology, commented: “By leveraging blockchain technology, we have realized stable network connectivity and high-speed communication without the need for servers. Locus GameChain will prove itself to be a promising option not only for gaming but also for the development of general P2P applications,” he explained. He added, “We will continue to push forward until Locus Chain brings decentralized technology into full-scale practical adoption.”

Redefining the Rules of Gaming: 100-Player Battle Royale, No Servers Required
Locus GameChain is a next generation serverless technology built on a secure P2P network, designed not only for gaming but for a wide range of digital applications. While traditional P2P systems were limited by security vulnerabilities, Locus GameChain integrates blockchain technology to dramatically enhance both security and stability. This breakthrough makes it possible to deliver reliable online services while eliminating or drastically reducing the costly, labor-intensive game servers that conventional infrastructures depend on.

DIVERSE announced that with Locus GameChain, it has successfully enabled stable, serverless operation across every genre of online gaming—from FPS and TPS titles featuring 10–30 players in precise combat, to massive 100-player battle royales and large-scale MMORPGs. The platform allows millions of players to dynamically form clusters, stay connected, and continue gameplay seamlessly. Even as global user numbers fluctuate sharply, Locus GameChain ensures uninterrupted service, offering network stability and scalability unmatched by traditional centralized systems.

DIVERSE has introduced a solution compatible with leading game engines such as Unreal Engine 5 and Unity 6, making it easier for developers to adopt Locus GameChain. This integration not only optimizes in-game responsiveness but also records critical data such as player match outcomes on the blockchain, significantly strengthening reliability and security. Moreover, existing live services can be migrated step by step to the Locus GameChain architecture without downtime, allowing operators to maintain service continuity while upgrading their technology.

The technology has already proven its security and stability through successful deployment in the Multiverse Battle Arena on the CRETA platform. Moving forward, Locus GameChain will be rolled out across CRETA’s broader ecosystem, including its SuperClub community platform and live streaming services. It will also be extended to third-party games launched on the CRETA platform, delivering developers and players alike a stable, scalable, and future-ready service environment.

Global Market Interest: Entering Concrete Partnerships with North American Companies
DIVERSE announced that its next generation blockchain technology, Locus GameChain, is attracting significant attention from leading game companies both in Korea and overseas. The company is currently in discussions with multiple major publishers regarding technology licensing agreements. Interest has been particularly strong among global gaming firms operating—or preparing to operate—live game services in emerging markets such as India and Latin America, where high server operating costs relative to revenue have long undermined profitability.

Bloom Technology, the developer of the core algorithm and underlying technology, first demonstrated Locus GameChain in late 2022 on the world’s leading game publishing platform, Steam, through the well-known IP Kingdom Under Fire: Gold Edition, showcasing its ability to run entirely without servers. Since then, the company has continued to advance and refine the technology.

A DIVERSE spokesperson added: “Locus GameChain goes beyond cost reduction, it introduces a new internet paradigm that reshapes both content consumption and business models. Through platformization, we aim to support the market entry of diverse services that have struggled with prohibitive server costs, while evolving into a next-generation platform that enables free and equitable revenue distribution.”
DIVERSE also revealed that its Locus MediaChain, a complementary technology designed to stream and share high-quality video and data without servers, is now in its final testing phase. Once integrated with Locus GameChain, it is expected to revolutionize digital content experiences across gaming, media, and beyond.

Building on these innovations, DIVERSE plans to accelerate the global expansion of its technology licensing business, positioning Locus GameChain and Locus MediaChain as the new standards for serverless, decentralized, and scalable online content infrastructure. Together, these technologies are expected to open innovative opportunities and provide creators and developers with a freer, more dynamic environment for digital innovation.

FED Fitness Leads the Charge Toward Green Fitness: 5-in-1 Eco Dumbbell Set and Adjustable Weight Bench Support Industry Sustainability

Globe Newswire, Lifestyle / Leave a Comment

HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As environmental awareness becomes a defining value for today’s consumers, the fitness industry is being called to evolve. In response, FED Fitness is leading the way—redefining what it means to train at home with purpose. The launch of its two latest innovations—the FEIERDUN 5-in-1 Eco Dumbbell Set and the FLYBIRD Adjustable Weight Bench—marks a significant step forward in the brand’s commitment to sustainability without compromise.

For FED Fitness, going green isn’t a trend—it’s a responsibility. From raw materials to product functionality, the brand is rethinking every detail to reduce environmental impact while still delivering performance trusted by millions.

This philosophy comes to life in its newest lineup of eco-conscious equipment—most notably in the FLYBIRD Adjustable Weight Bench, a product that embodies the brand’s commitment to responsible innovation.

FED Fitness

FLYBIRD Adjustable Weight Bench: Raising the Bar for Sustainable Fitness
In an industry where performance often overshadows responsibility, the FLYBIRD Adjustable Weight Bench sets a powerful new standard—proving that high-quality equipment can also be environmentally conscious. As the first weight bench in its Amazon category to earn Climate Pledge Friendly status, and backed by ClimeCo Certified carbon impact analysis, FLYBIRD is leading the charge toward low-carbon fitness solutions.

Every use reflects a conscious choice: to reduce waste, extend product lifespan, and support low-impact manufacturing. It’s fitness that not only strengthens your body, but also supports a healthier planet.

FED Fitness

FEIERDUN 5-in-1 Dumbbell Set: Sustainable Strength in Every Lift
The FEIERDUN 5-in-1 Dumbbell Set offers more than just versatility—it’s a thoughtful step toward greener fitness. Unlike traditional dumbbells made entirely of cast iron or concrete, this set features a High-quality recycled PE materials outer shell combined with a core of iron sand and cement. This lower-impact material blend not only reduces the product’s overall carbon footprint but also helps prevent floor damage, offering a safer, cleaner alternative for home use.

FED Fitness

Designed to replace multiple pieces of equipment, the FEIERDUN 5-in-1 Dumbbell Set serves as a dumbbell, barbell, kettlebell, push-up stand, and weight plates—all in one. This multifunctional design isn’t just about versatility or space-saving—it’s about doing more with less. By consolidating five training tools into a single system, it significantly reduces material use and manufacturing waste, all while delivering reliable performance at home.

But the sustainability impact goes further. Made from low-odor, high-quality materials including a recycled PE shell and an iron-sand core, the FEIERDUN set reflects a more mindful approach to fitness. Every workout with this set becomes a small but meaningful choice—to reduce your footprint, minimize unnecessary consumption, and support a more responsible lifestyle. It’s not just about building strength—it’s about doing so with intention.

This belief—that small choices add up to lasting impact—sits at the heart of FED Fitness’s environmental mission. What we buy, how we train, and the products we bring into our homes all shape the world we live in. That’s why these eco-conscious innovations are more than just equipment—they’re part of a larger commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable fitness culture.

FED Fitness

Championing a Greener Standard: FED Fitness Elevates Social Responsibility in Every Rep
At a time when environmental accountability is no longer optional, FED Fitness is stepping forward—not just as a provider of high-performance gear, but as a leader in sustainable transformation. Through conscious design, certified materials, and long-lasting construction, the brand is helping reshape the future of fitness—one product, one choice, and one rep at a time.

Rooted in a deep commitment to environmental responsibility, FED Fitness is helping drive the green transformation of the fitness industry. The company is actively engaged in the development and promotion of eco-friendly standards for workout equipment—working alongside partners, manufacturers, and stakeholders to push the industry toward more transparent, sustainable practices.

Dimora PHMB Cleanser Brings Clinical-Grade Wound Care Into Everyday Homes

Globe Newswire, Health & Healthcare / Leave a Comment

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chronic wounds remain one of the toughest challenges in modern healthcare. Dimora Medical, a company dedicated to simplifying chronic disease care for aging populations, today launches Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser to help close that gap in chronic wound care. Research shows that more than 78% of chronic wounds are complicated by biofilms, which are protective layers of bacteria that slow healing and increase infection risk. The PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser is designed to break down stubborn biofilms and kill 99.99% of bacteria within minutes. Simple to use and backed by strong clinical evidence, it helps caregivers protect loved ones more effectively while easing the burden of home wound care.

Breaking Down Biofilms for Faster Healing

The Dimora PHMB Cleanser can break down biofilms for faster healing

One of the standout features of the Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser is its ability to tackle biofilms, a hidden barrier that makes chronic wounds so hard to treat. Biofilms are slimy layers formed by bacteria on the wound surface. They protect microbes from the body’s defenses and from treatments, often delaying healing and raising the risk of infection.

The cleanser’s main ingredient, Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB), has been shown to break down these biofilms quickly and effectively. In tests, PHMB removed 99.49% of biofilm within three minutes and reached 99.99% after seven minutes. Once the biofilm barrier is cleared, antimicrobial dressings and the body’s natural healing process can work as intended. Compared with hypochlorous or saline-based solutions, PHMB has consistently demonstrated stronger activity against biofilms of common wound pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

For caregivers at home, this means fewer complications, less risk of infection, and a more reliable path to wound healing. It’s an advanced solution that brings clinical-level effectiveness into everyday care.

Rapid Antimicrobial Power for Safer Home Care

The Dimora PHMB Cleanser can cleanse the wound surface

Beyond clearing biofilms, the Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser works as an antiseptic skin cleanser, delivering fast and powerful antimicrobial action. For infected wounds, it kills 99.99% of bacteria in just two minutes. For non-infected wounds, that same level of protection is reached in as little as one minute. That kind of speed matters in home care, where infection risk is high and every delay can slow recovery.

In practical terms, this means a caregiver can clean and protect a wound quickly without multiple steps or long waiting times. Families managing diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical incisions, or even everyday cuts in older adults know that speed makes a difference. Each application reduces the chance of infection, lowers stress for the caregiver, and keeps the patient more comfortable at home. By minimizing complications, the cleanser also helps families avoid repeat clinic visits and gives them greater confidence in daily wound management.

Long-Lasting Protection Families Can Count On

Dimora PHMB Cleanser

Consistency matters in wound care, especially for families managing chronic conditions day after day. The Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser isn’t just effective the first time you use it—it maintains its antimicrobial strength over time. In testing under USP <51>, an internationally recognized standard for antimicrobial effectiveness, the cleanser exceeded expectations. Even after being opened for 28 days, it still delivered a 99.99% reduction in bacteria, ensuring safety and stability with every use. For caregivers at home, this reliability goes beyond a technical detail. It means fewer worries about whether a bottle has lost its strength or needs to be replaced too quickly. By contrast, hypochlorous-based solutions are less stable and less effective against wound pathogens over time. PHMB gives families peace of mind and consistent performance. With Dimora, caregivers can spend less energy tracking expiration dates and more time focusing on what truly matters—supporting their loved one’s healing.

Making Home Care Easy, Reliable, and Safe

The Dimora PHMB Cleanser makes home care easy, reliable, and safe

Dimora’s vision is clear: make home care easy and become the trusted wound care expert for families. The PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser reflects that mission by bringing clinical strength into everyday use. Acting as a wound wash, antiseptic skin cleanser, and reliable antibacterial wash, it supports chronic wound care at home. From diabetic foot ulcers to surgical sites, its proven biofilm removal gives patients a better path to healing and provides caregivers with real peace of mind.

For families, that means fewer complications, less stress, and safer home care with every use. The Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser is available now for $15.99 on Amazon

The technology company’s first appearance at these major Australian agricultural events showcased the G1’s advanced capabilities, particularly features that address challenges facing commercial groundskeepers, municipal operators, and large-scale land managers.

Following two exhibitions, Pandag Tech has found that for the Australian market, several of the G1’s key capabilities are its core competitive advantages. There is a market emphasis on its navigation performance in commercial sites and the reliability of its obstacle avoidance system. Above all, the integration of its RTK and AI Vision attracts the most significant attention. In addition, visitors showed interest in G1’s ability to handle slopes up to 78% and cover up to 25 acres on a single charge.

The G1’s automatic return-to-charge feature generated considerable discussion among visitors. When battery levels reach 10 percent, the mower autonomously returns to its charging station, ensuring continuous operation without manual oversight.

Municipal representatives and solar field operators showed particular interest in G1’s wire-free operation and ability to store multiple field maps. Unlike traditional robotic mowers requiring buried perimeter wires, the G1 uses RTK and AI Vision for navigation, making it suitable for commercial properties.

The modular design also attracted attention from service providers managing diverse properties. The electric powertrain eliminates fuel costs and reduces maintenance requirements, while modular construction allows field repairs and component upgrades.

Following positive reception at both events, Pandag Tech announced plans to establish local support infrastructure for the Australian market. The company is developing a service and parts network providing technical support, maintenance services, and replacement components for G1 operators.

Monsoon Wind Power Project Achieves Commercial Operation, Delivering Clean Energy Across Borders

Energy, Globe Newswire, Highlights, News / Leave a Comment

600 MW, utility-scale, onshore wind farm – largest in Southeast Asia
First wind farm in Lao PDR and first cross-border renewable energy project in Asia
Supplying clean electricity from Lao PDR to Vietnam’s national grid
Equivalent to the electricity use of over one million households
Completed construction and full grid connection in just 27 months, achieving Commercial Operation Date (COD) on 22 August 2025 — 4 months ahead of schedule
Developed with zero resettlement and in line with international best-practice environmental and social safeguard standards
Investing US$1.1 million annually in community development, with early initiatives such as scholarships, mobile health checkups, and coffee livelihood programs
Triggering ASEAN grid aspirations and advancing regional energy connectivity

PLACEHOLDER

DAK CHEUNG, Laos, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — What began as a bold idea in 2011 is now a milestone in Asia’s clean energy journey. The 600 MW Monsoon Wind Power Project, originated and developed by IES, its lead developer and controlling shareholder, has officially reached Commercial Operation on 22 August 2025. As Asia’s first cross-border renewable energy project, it now delivers clean power from the mountains of southern Lao PDR into Vietnam, advancing regional energy security, economic growth, and ASEAN grid integration.

Stretching across the Dak Cheung District of Sekong Province and the Sanxay District of Attapeu Province, 133 wind turbines turn steadily in the region’s strong, reliable winds. This is the product of more than a decade of detailed wind studies. Their energy travels through four 115 kV substations, is stepped up to 500 kV at the project substation, and carried along a 27-kilometre high-voltage transmission line to the Lao–Vietnam border, where it connects to Vietnam’s 500 kV transmission system. From there, the transmission line continues another 44 kilometres to EVN’s Thanh My substation.

The project was initiated by Impact Electrons Siam (IES) and is developed and operated by Monsoon Wind Power Company Limited, a Lao-incorporated company. It is backed by an international consortium of shareholders: IES, the project’s originator, ACEN from the Philippines, BCPG and STP&I from Thailand, Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan and its wholly owned subsidiary, Diamond Generating Asia (DGA), and SMP Consultation from Lao PDR.

Financing has come from a group of leading regional and global lenders whose support reflects deep confidence in its technical, environmental, and economic merits. These include the Asian Development Bank (ADB, as lead arranger), Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Export–Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand), Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation (HKMC), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), Kasikornbank (KBANK), and Siam Commercial Bank (SCB). The construction was led by PowerChina, with wind turbines supplied by Envision Energy.

“This is a proud and historic moment for our company, our partners, and the region,” said Nat Hutanuwatr, Managing Director of the Monsoon Wind Power. “From the early days when many doubted the feasibility of a cross-border wind farm in this terrain, to overcoming technical, logistical, and financial challenges, this achievement stands as a testament to the determination, innovation, and collaboration of everyone involved, including our shareholders, lenders, advisors, contractors, technology providers, partners and the heroic Monsoon Wind team. The project not only delivers renewable energy at scale but also demonstrates how ASEAN countries can work together for a cleaner, more sustainable future. We are grateful for the trust and steady support of both the Lao and Vietnamese governments throughout this journey, and proud that the project also brings lasting benefits to local communities through our unique community development program, focusing on education, healthcare and wellbeing of the communities in which we operate.”

“Good things take time,” said Paradai Suebma, the Chairwoman of Monsoon Wind Power. “Monsoon Wind, 14 years in the making, is a tribute to vision, partnership and our commitment to sustainability. We recognize the foresight of IES, who originated this project, and extend our deepest appreciation to our management and team of the Monsoon Wind Power Project, whose unwavering dedication and perseverance turned vision into reality. We truly appreciate the opportunity to contribute to regional growth while shaping a model for clean energy connectivity. We also deeply value the collaboration of our partners, lenders, advisors, and contractors in making this milestone possible. And most importantly, the trust and uplifting quality of life of the communities we serve make our hearts grow and give this achievement its greater meaning.”

By diversifying Laos’ energy mix beyond hydropower and supplying Vietnam with clean electricity, Monsoon Wind directly supports the ASEAN Power Grid initiative, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and advances the region’s energy transition. The project is expected to offset approximately 1.3 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.
