PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) welcomed the release this week of the World Health Organization’s State of the World’s Nursing Report, which provides the first comprehensive assessment of global nursing since the COVID-19 pandemic.
TruMerit
The report highlights a critical imperative to strengthen global nursing capacity in the wake of the pandemic and amid economic uncertainty, climate change impacts, and persistent health inequities. It warns that the global health workforce shortage will continue to widen, reaching 11 million by 2030, thereby requiring a fundamental shift in how countries approach healthcare workforce planning and investment.
While emphasizing the urgent need to address this challenge, TruMerit President and CEO Dr. Peter Preziosi, who served on the WHO steering committee that helped guide the report’s preparation, pointed to opportunities to leverage the power of nursing to resolve inequities and shore up healthcare delivery and quality around the world.
“In response to this report, non-governmental organizations in the healthcare sector must adopt collaboration as their watchword and work with each other and with professional societies and patient-centered organizations in pursuing genuine social impact,” said Preziosi. “We need to support next-generation approaches that recognize the critical role of nurses – who make up the largest segment of the global healthcare workforce – in advancing primary care, resilient health systems, and universal health coverage solutions to optimize population health in every country.”
“As the report points out, nearly 80% of the world’s nurses are working in countries that cover only half the world’s population. This is a critical imbalance in the global nursing workforce that must be addressed. We can help do that with a greater focus on scaling up high-quality nursing education and career development that expands across borders to enable nurses everywhere to deliver on their potential,” he added.
Preziosi also noted these opportunities highlighted in the report:
Progress in the expansion of nurse-led care models, with more than 60% of countries now having introduced Advanced Practice Nursing. By enhancing localized, specialized care, these models are proven to deliver cost-effective care and offer a way forward in expanding health coverage and healthcare equity.
The nursing profession globally is becoming more skilled and prepared, with 80% of the world’s nurses now at the “professional” level. The challenge ahead, said Preziosi, is to ensure they have opportunities to work at the full extent of their education, which requires regulatory frameworks to be strengthened and modernized to reflect updated scopes of practice and relevant continuing professional development.
The wider use of digital health tools is bringing expert consultations to remote areas, including those powered by telehealth and artificial intelligence. These are showing great promise in enhancing accessibility and bridging gaps in care delivery, invigorating nursing education, and improving efficiency, accessibility, and outcomes.
Seizing on these and other opportunities highlighted in the report, Preziosi expressed optimism that the grave challenges posed by the nursing shortage and other factors can be addressed.
“When the people who deliver the care are empowered with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to achieve excellence in their profession, they can lead the way to resolving the healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc.(NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated first-quarter 2025 financial results.
2025 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 37% over the combined net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $3.5 million, and a decrease of approximately 6% over the combined net revenue for the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.4 million.
Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 1.8% in the first quarter of 2025 over the first quarter of 2024 and decreased by approximately 13.5% in the first quarter of 2025 over the fourth quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.6 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.
Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to approximately $56,000 income for the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

San Jose, CA – A heartbreaking tragedy at Happy Happy Daycare in San Jose has led to the arrest of a mother and daughter, accused of negligence in the drowning death of a young child under their care. The incident has sparked widespread concern over the safety of children in unlicensed daycare facilities and the legal responsibilities of caregivers in preventing such preventable tragedies.
According to reports, authorities responded to the daycare after receiving an emergency call about an unresponsive child found in a water-filled area. Investigators determined that the facility failed to maintain proper supervision and safety measures, leading to the fatal drowning. The mother and daughter who operated the daycare were subsequently arrested and charged with child endangerment, sparking an ongoing legal battle to hold them accountable.
Michael Haggard, Esq., a leading drowning litigation attorney and managing partner of The Haggard Law Firm, emphasized the need for stringent safety protocols in childcare environments. “This devastating case highlights the critical need for daycare providers to implement and enforce strict water safety measures. No child should ever be placed in an environment where preventable hazards, such as unsecured water sources, exist,” said Haggard. “Justice must be pursued, and accountability must be enforced to ensure that no other family endures this kind of tragedy.”
Drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental death among young children, with incidents occurring at alarming rates in residential and daycare settings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that children under the age of four are particularly vulnerable to drowning accidents, emphasizing the necessity of constant supervision, secure barriers, and immediate emergency response measures.
Aquatic Attorneys, a division of The Haggard Law Firm dedicated to representing drowning victims and their families, continues to advocate for increased legal action against negligent daycare providers. “When families entrust caregivers with their children, they expect a safe environment. This case is a tragic reminder of what can happen when those entrusted with childcare fail to uphold that responsibility,” Haggard added.
The Happy Happy Daycare case has intensified discussions surrounding daycare regulations and licensing requirements in California. Authorities have noted that the daycare facility was operating without the proper licenses, further exacerbating the legal implications of the case. This raises concerns about the enforcement of childcare safety laws and the need for more rigorous oversight of daycare operations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Legal experts argue that cases like this should serve as a catalyst for strengthening daycare regulations and ensuring that unlicensed facilities are identified and held accountable before tragedies occur. Michael Haggard and his team at Aquatic Attorneys urge parents to thoroughly investigate daycare providers, verify licensing, and ask about safety protocols before enrolling their children.
The outcome of this case could have long-term implications for daycare safety standards and legal consequences for negligent childcare providers nationwide. Families who have lost loved ones due to drowning incidents are encouraged to seek legal assistance to hold responsible parties accountable.
For those affected by daycare drowning tragedies, seeking legal representation can be an essential step toward justice and systemic change. If you or a loved one has been impacted by a drowning accident due to negligence, contact Michael Haggard, Esq. and Aquatic Attorneys at AquaticAttorney.com for a free consultation. Ensuring justice for victims and advocating for stronger childcare safety regulations remains a top priority in the fight to prevent future tragedies.
Phoenix, AZ – Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys are actively pursuing justice on behalf of victims and their families following a violent shooting incident outside the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix. This tragic event, which resulted in multiple injuries and a fatality, highlights the growing concern over inadequate security measures in public spaces, particularly at high-traffic hotels and commercial establishments. As legal proceedings commence, this case underscores the need for stronger enforcement of security obligations to protect guests and prevent future violence.
According to law enforcement reports, the shooting took place outside the hotel’s entrance, where a group of individuals was gathered. Witnesses stated that an altercation escalated, leading to gunfire that struck multiple victims. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after, but despite their efforts, one individual succumbed to their injuries. The tragic loss has devastated the victim’s family and raised questions about whether the hotel had taken appropriate steps to prevent foreseeable violence on its premises.
Initial investigations suggest that the Renaissance Hotel may have lacked adequate security measures, including surveillance cameras, trained personnel, and controlled access to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the property. Given the hotel’s location in a bustling downtown area, property management had a duty to anticipate potential security risks and take necessary precautions. The failure to implement appropriate safety measures may have contributed to the conditions that allowed the shooting to occur.
Michael Haggard, Esq., managing partner of Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys, commented on the case, stating, “Hotels and commercial properties have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their guests and employees. When these establishments fail to take reasonable security measures, they create an environment where violent crime can occur. This tragedy should never have happened, and we are committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.”
Negligent security cases involve property owners and business operators who fail to protect individuals from foreseeable harm. Under premises liability law, hotels, shopping centers, and other commercial entities are required to provide reasonable security to protect guests and patrons. This includes hiring trained security personnel, installing surveillance equipment, and maintaining proper lighting in high-risk areas. When these precautions are ignored, property owners can be held liable for any resulting injuries or fatalities.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proactive security measures. The Renaissance Hotel, as a major downtown venue, attracts thousands of visitors annually. Given its high-profile status, hotel management should have been vigilant in enforcing security policies to deter criminal activity. Legal experts argue that implementing preventative measures, such as increased security patrols and metal detectors, could have mitigated the risk of violent altercations.
The Haggard Law Firm has a long history of representing victims in negligent security cases, fighting for the rights of individuals harmed due to corporate negligence. Their legal team is dedicated to holding businesses accountable when they fail to provide a safe environment. This case not only seeks justice for the victims and their families but also aims to push for necessary security reforms in commercial properties to prevent future tragedies.
Beyond financial compensation, lawsuits of this nature have a broader societal impact. Legal action forces businesses to reevaluate their security policies, ensuring they take appropriate steps to protect patrons. Holding negligent property owners accountable establishes important precedents that can lead to stronger industry regulations and safer communities.
For those and their loved ones who have been injured due to inadequate security at a hotel, shopping center, or other commercial property, The Haggard Law Firm offers experienced legal representation to seek justice and compensation. Contact Michael Haggard, Esq., at crimevictim.attorney for a free consultation. Taking legal action is a crucial step in ensuring that negligent property owners are held accountable and that necessary safety standards are implemented to protect future visitors. No family should have to endure such a preventable tragedy, and The Haggard Law Firm remains committed to fighting for justice on behalf of victims.
Philadelphia, PA – Survivors of Abuse PA, led by Ashley DiLiberto, Esq., is hosting a free educational seminar to provide survivors of sexual abuse with crucial information about their legal rights and options. The date and time for the webinar will be determined at a later date and will be announced on the firm’s website. This online event will be open to survivors, advocates, and community members who want to learn more about the legal process for seeking justice.
This initiative comes at a pivotal moment, as Pennsylvania continues to consider legislative changes that could impact survivors’ ability to file civil claims against their abusers and the institutions that enabled them. With ongoing discussions about extending the statute of limitations and implementing a two-year “look-back” window, this seminar aims to equip attendees with the knowledge they need to navigate their legal rights effectively.
PA Sexual abuse survivors often face significant barriers to justice, including fear, emotional trauma, and lack of information about their legal options. The legal system can be overwhelming, and many survivors are unsure of when or how to take action against their perpetrators. Survivors of Abuse PA is dedicated to bridging this gap by providing accessible legal education and support to those affected.
“Our goal with this seminar is to ensure that every survivor has access to the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their legal rights,” said DiLiberto. “Many survivors believe they are out of options due to outdated laws or institutional cover-ups, but we are here to change that perception. Justice is possible, and we want to help survivors take that first step.”
The seminar will feature a panel of legal professionals, survivor advocates, and licensed mental health providers, each sharing insights from their respective fields. Discussions will include explanations of how the statute of limitations currently affects survivors’ ability to file claims and what the proposed legal changes in Pennsylvania might mean for future cases. Attendees will also gain a clearer understanding of the difference between filing a criminal case and initiating a civil lawsuit, including what each process entails and what outcomes are possible through compensation and accountability.
The event will further explore how survivors can legally hold institutions accountable, such as schools, religious organizations, athletic programs, and medical facilities, when those institutions enabled or ignored abuse. Survivors will also be introduced to a network of resources, including trauma-informed legal representation, therapy options, and community-based advocacy organizations that specialize in assisting victims of sexual abuse.
Following the panel discussions, a Q&A session will provide attendees the opportunity to submit confidential, anonymous questions tailored to their own experiences or legal concerns. This segment of the seminar is designed to foster empowerment, privacy, and clarity for participants who may be unsure about how or when to proceed.
As momentum builds for legislative reform, the proposed two-year look-back window and the elimination of the civil statute of limitations could open new legal avenues for survivors across the state. “If these laws are enacted, we anticipate a significant increase in survivors coming forward,” DiLiberto explained. “Many people don’t realize that they still have options, even if their abuse happened decades ago. Our seminar will help survivors understand how these laws work and how they can take advantage of these potential changes.”
Survivors of Abuse PA has long been a leader in legal advocacy for sexual abuse victims, successfully litigating high-profile cases and advocating for survivor-centered legislation. The firm has earned a reputation for standing up to powerful institutions and fighting for those whose voices have been ignored or silenced.
“Our team is committed to fighting for survivors, not just in the courtroom, but through education and outreach,” said DiLiberto. “This seminar is just one part of our larger mission to empower survivors and make sure they have the support they need.”
The seminar will be conducted online, with registration details and scheduling updates to be posted on the firm’s website. Survivors, community leaders, parents, educators, and support professionals are encouraged to attend.
Survivors of Abuse PA remains dedicated to ensuring that every survivor knows their rights and has the tools they need to pursue justice, healing, and accountability. This seminar is a critical step in helping survivors reclaim their power and take control of their legal future.
Trenton, NJ – Survivors of Abuse NJ, a premier law firm dedicated to advocating for victims of sexual abuse, provides comprehensive representation for victims of daycare sexual abuse across New Jersey. Under the leadership of Founding Attorney Joseph L. Messa, Jr., Esq., the firm is committed to holding negligent daycare centers and abusive individuals accountable for the harm inflicted on young children.
Sexual abuse in daycare settings is an alarming reality that many parents never expect to face. The vulnerability of young children and their inability to fully articulate abuse make these cases particularly devastating. Survivors of Abuse NJ is stepping forward to provide legal advocacy, guidance, and justice for families affected by daycare sexual abuse.
The firm has extensive experience handling a variety of daycare sexual abuse cases. These include situations where daycare employees or caregivers directly engage in abusive conduct toward children, as well as cases where daycare centers fail to properly screen, train, and supervise their staff. Other instances involve negligent hiring and retention practices that allow individuals with a known or suspected history of abuse to remain employed. Survivors of Abuse NJ also addresses failures in internal protocols—such as the absence of appropriate reporting procedures when abuse is suspected—as well as inadequate physical security measures that allow abuse to occur on daycare premises.
While no legal remedy can undo the trauma suffered by a child, pursuing a civil lawsuit offers families an opportunity to achieve justice, protect other children from harm, and access critical financial resources for treatment and recovery. “Parents trust daycare centers to provide a safe, nurturing environment for their children,” said Joseph L. Messa, Jr., Esq. “When that trust is violated, families deserve strong legal representation to seek accountability. Our firm is dedicated to fighting for the rights of children and families affected by daycare sexual abuse in New Jersey.”
Under the law, daycare facilities have a clear legal obligation to ensure the safety of every child in their care. If a daycare provider fails to conduct background checks, overlooks warning signs of misconduct, or ignores reports of abuse, it may be held liable for damages. Survivors of Abuse NJ conducts thorough investigations in each case to determine how and where systems failed, and builds compelling legal arguments that pursue full accountability for both the individuals and the institutions involved.
New Jersey has taken important steps to strengthen the legal rights of child sexual abuse survivors. Through the New Jersey Child Victims Act, survivors now have until the age of 55—or within seven years of discovering the impact of their abuse—to file civil lawsuits. This legislative shift acknowledges that abuse survivors often need years to come to terms with what happened to them. It provides families with more time to seek justice, even when the abuse occurred long ago.
Filing a legal claim in these cases can result in financial compensation that helps cover medical expenses, ongoing therapy, and emotional recovery. It also compels accountability from negligent daycare centers and individuals and can lead to systemic improvements in how childcare facilities operate and respond to potential abuse.
Families who suspect or have confirmed that their child has been a victim of daycare sexual abuse in NJ are encouraged to seek legal help immediately. Survivors of Abuse NJ provides confidential, no-obligation consultations to discuss potential claims and help families navigate the legal process with compassion and expertise.
“Our legal team is ready to stand with families during this painful and challenging time,” said Messa. “Children deserve to be protected, and we will fight tirelessly to ensure justice is served for those who have suffered due to the negligence of daycare centers.”
Survivors of Abuse NJ is now accepting daycare sexual abuse cases across New Jersey. Families in need of legal assistance can contact the firm for a free consultation to discuss their options.

Survivors of Abuse NJ remains committed to securing justice for the youngest and most vulnerable victims of sexual abuse.
