Shedding Light on Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month

Published

–News Direct–

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, and genetic disease that currently affects about 40,000 people in the United States. CF is the result of a defective gene, inherited from each parent, and the disease can impact people of all races and ethnicities. Recently, KC White, Board Chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the disease, her personal journey, and how the Foundation is helping progress care and treatment options.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8wj8u0JEqLU

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Board Chair the First Person with CF to Ever Lead the Organization – Discusses the Rare Disease, Outliving Your Life Expectancy, and the Path to a Cure

CF is a life-shortening disease that prevents our bodies from clearing mucus. This can lead to lung infections, poor nutrition, lung disease, and a host of unique challenges that can impact every aspect of a persons life. When it was first discovered, it was considered a fatal pediatric disease. But due to transformative advancements in treatments and high-quality care, the life-expectancy for someone born with CF today is 56. While that number is climbing there is still a long way to go and unfortunately, not all people with CF equally benefit from this progress.

KC White was elected chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundations Board of Trustees in 2022 after serving on the Board since 2005. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, White has been a committed volunteer and inspiring advocate for the Foundation since childhood and is the first person with CF to serve as board chair. When she was diagnosed, she wasnt expected to live past high school age, but her family refused to accept that fate, which prompted their dedication to the Foundations work.

Because of recent treatments known as modulators, about 90% of the CF population (including KC) experienced an incredible transformation in their health. With this though, comes navigating unplanned challenges including careers, finances, family, and more. In addition to fueling the research, particularly in genetic therapies, that will lead to transformative treatments for the entire CF population, the CF Foundation works to support the CF community in all aspects of their lives through support programs and fostering connection opportunities.

Every May, the cystic fibrosis community comes together for CF Awareness Month to educate the public about the rare disease, share personal stories, and encourage people to get involved and unite behind a shared mission: finding a cure for all people with CF. The CF Foundation is committed to finding a cure and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives. The Foundation is aggressively funding research and drug development, advancing high-quality, specialized care, and partnering with and advocating for the CF community.

Press Release

Trivolve Tech and Quixy joins hands to Revolutionize Forensic Systems in India on Cardano

Published

on

Hyderabad, India, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Trivolve Tech, a blockchain and AI product studio and Quixy, a leader in no-code/low-code enterprise solutions, , have officially partnered to co-develop cutting-edge forensic management systems for state governments across India. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the handling and integrity of forensic evidence by integrating Cardano blockchain technology and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) into evidence management systems.

The project will initially focus on the Uttar Pradesh state government, which handles over one million forensic cases annually. The key objective is to enhance the forensic chain of custody—a process crucial for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of forensic evidence presented in court.

Addressing the Challenges in Forensic Evidence Management

Forensic departments in India face significant challenges in maintaining the chain of custody for evidence. Current centralized systems are vulnerable to tampering and unauthorized access, posing risks to the credibility of evidence in legal cases. The joint venture between Quixy and Trivolve Tech addresses these challenges by developing a decentralized solution leveraging Cardano’s smart contracts and Zero Knowledge Proofs. This approach ensures that every step in the chain of custody is immutably recorded on the blockchain, providing an unprecedented level of transparency and security.

Integrating Cardano Blockchain for Enhanced Security and Scalability

Cardano, one of the most decentralized and sustainable blockchain platforms, will be integral to the forensic management system through its cryptographic hashing. Cardano operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which makes it 99.99% more energy-efficient than Bitcoin and Ethereum. This sustainability, coupled with security, positions Cardano as an eco-friendly option for large-scale projects like this one.

Rahul Konudula, CEO of Trivolve Tech, commented, “By integrating Cardano blockchain with forensic management, we are providing a game-changing solution that improves transparency, accountability, and security for law enforcement agencies. This collaboration could set the standard for forensic evidence management across India’s 28 states and 8 union territories.”

About Quixy

Quixy is a no-code/low-code platform that helps organizations automate business processes and build enterprise applications faster with fewer resources. With over 26,000 no-code apps and 200,000 users, Quixy is one of India’s leading software companies.

The importance of QuickBooks file repair: Damaged QuickBooks files can disrupt business operations, making it challenging to access financial data

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks is an incredibly robust accounting tool, capable of handling a variety of financial tasks. However, like any software, it is susceptible to encountering issues, including file corruption. A damaged QuickBooks file can significantly disrupt business operations, making it challenging to access financial data, create reports, or process transactions. QuickBooks file repair is a powerful process designed to effectively address these issues and restore the integrity of your data.

Some common reasons include power failures or system crashes during QuickBooks usage can lead to file corruption. Another common reason is if the company file grows over time, it may become too large, causing performance issues or data corruption. Issues with hardware or bad sectors on the hard drive can lead to file damage.

Incompatible software or updates can occasionally interfere with QuickBooks, resulting in file corruption. 

QuickBooks provides a built-in tool called QuickBooks File Doctor, designed to identify and repair common issues related to file corruption. This tool can be downloaded and run to fix network and data file issues, offering a simple and effective solution in many cases.

If the file is too corrupted to repair, restoring from a recent backup can save your data. Regular backups are essential as they provide a safeguard in case of severe damage. 

QuickBooks includes a “Rebuild Data” feature that can resolve minor data corruption issues. This tool automatically scans the company file for inconsistencies and fixes them, ensuring the file is in good shape.

In cases of severe file damage or when internal tools fail to resolve the issue, consulting a professional QuickBooks repair service may be necessary. These services specialize in repairing damaged files and recovering lost data, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.

QuickBooks file repair is crucial when your data is compromised. By using built-in tools like QuickBooks File Doctor, restoring backups, or seeking professional help, you can effectively recover from file corruption and ensure business continuity.

Optimizing your QuickBooks file is crucial for ensuring your accounting software runs efficiently, protecting data integrity, and facilitating smoother operations

Published

on

Kingston, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, As businesses grow, so do their financial records, often leading to larger QuickBooks company files. While QuickBooks is designed to handle substantial data, file optimization is crucial for maintaining efficiency and performance. 

 Large company files can slow down QuickBooks, leading to lagging responses when entering data, generating reports, or running payroll. Optimization helps reduce file size and improve system speed, allowing for smoother operations.

Over time, as files grow and become fragmented, the risk of data corruption increases. Regular optimization can help maintain file integrity, reducing the likelihood of encountering issues that can lead to data loss.

 A smaller, optimized file takes less time to back up and restore, which is critical during system updates or when recovering from a crash. This can save valuable time and resources, especially during busy financial periods.

File optimization makes it easier to manage and navigate your financial records. By condensing and organizing data, users can quickly access the information they need without wading through excessive amounts of data.

Optimized files allow for quicker and more accurate financial reporting, ensuring that your business remains compliant with tax regulations and internal policies. This efficiency is vital for audits and decision-making processes.

Use QuickBooks’ built-in “Condense Data” feature to remove historical transactions and reduce file size while retaining necessary data. Schedule regular maintenance checks to identify and repair data integrity issues. Utilizing tools like QuickBooks File Doctor can help identify potential problems early. Regularly review and archive old transactions that are no longer needed for day-to-day operations, which can significantly reduce file size. Keep an eye on your company file size and set thresholds for when optimization is needed to prevent performance degradation.

Optimizing your QuickBooks file is crucial for ensuring your accounting software runs efficiently, protecting data integrity, and facilitating smoother operations. Regularly implementing optimization strategies can lead to significant benefits, allowing your business to focus on growth and success.
