US Med-Equip reports record demand as hospitals face flu & COVID surges, seek flexible, cost-controlling solutions without compromising patient care
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2025 / Across the U.S., hospital systems are increasingly relying on medical equipment rentals to meet fluctuating patient care needs, such as flu and COVID surges, fueled by supply chain pressures and the need for operational flexibility.
US Med-Equip, a national leader in medical equipment rentals, reported record growth as more hospitals turn to its on-demand rental solutions for timely access to critical devices without the financial burden of ownership.
From ventilators and infusion pumps to bariatric beds and advanced therapeutic surfaces, rental solutions allow hospitals to scale resources up or down as patient volumes fluctuate, support complex care cases and reduce equipment downtime.
“As cases of respiratory illnesses start to climb, hospitals assess their equipment utilization to ensure their staff has the necessary equipment when they need it, where they need it to help their patients heal,” said Greg Salario, CEO of US Med-Equip.
With healthcare costs rising and unpredictable patient surges becoming the norm, hospitals are prioritizing flexible, data-driven equipment management strategies to help avoid equipment shortages and budget strains. More hospitals than ever are turning to US Med-Equip’s rentals and ASAP Asset Management program, which offers strategic solutions, equipment tracking and award-winning EMR connectivity to help optimize costs, improve care and better prepare for ongoing and future health crises.
“Healthcare is evolving, and hospitals need solutions that match their pace,” Salario said. “Renting high-quality, patient-ready equipment allows hospitals to adapt quickly, maintain safety standards and manage costs effectively without compromising care.”
US Med-Equip’s nationwide network provides fast, reliable delivery of equipment that meets the highest standards for preventative maintenance and cleanliness. Around-the-clock support from in-house customer experience associates and clinical services support hospitals’ operational and patient care needs, helping give clinicians confidence that equipment is always patient-ready.

Preliminary analysis showed the 2025-2026 formula of Spikevax generated greater than an 8-fold increase in LP.8.1-neutralizing antibodies across age groups
Clinical findings reinforce preclinical data supporting recent FDA approval of 2025-2026 formula of Spikevax
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced positive preliminary immunogenicity data for the 2025-2026 formula of Spikevax®, which targets the LP.8.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 to help prevent COVID-19. The data from an ongoing Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2025-2026 formula of Spikevax showed, on average, greater than an 8-fold increase in neutralizing antibodies against the LP.8.1 variant in individuals 12 through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older. The safety profile of the vaccine was consistent with previous studies, with no new safety concerns identified.
Recent surveillance data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows the U.S. wastewater viral activity for COVID-19 is high, and LP.8.1 and its familial strains, XFG and NB.1.8.1, continue to dominate. [1],[2] This preliminary analysis confirms Moderna’s updated COVID-19 vaccine is a strong match to today’s top circulating strains in the U.S.
These clinical findings also reinforce preclinical data that supported the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the 2025-2026 formula of Spikevax, which is approved by the FDA for individuals 6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older. Spikevax has also been granted approval by regulators in Canada, Europe, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland and more.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV)(“Highlander Silver” or the “Company“) is pleased to report assay results from the second series of holes designed to test the expanding Bonita vein system, which include some of the highest gold grades encountered to date. The Bonita vein system is exposed along a ridgeline approximately 10km to the south of the bonanza grade Ayelen underground deposit at the San Luis gold-silver project in Central Peru.
Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2.
Highlights
The results of step-out drilling include some of the highest gold grades encountered to date and extend mineralization to the southeast of prior drilling (see press release ‘Highlander Silver Reports First Drill Results from Bonita Open Pit Target, Including High Grades over Broad Widths from Near Surface in Every Hole’ – July 29, 2025)
BOD-013 was drilled from a step-out platform to the southeast of prior drilling and returned 24.8m of 7.43 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 16.45 g/t silver (“Ag”) from 28.7m downhole
BOD-010 returned 40.4m of 3.42 g/t Au and 16.93 g/t Ag from surface to the southeast of prior drilling from a platform at the edge of soils that may cover the extent of the vein system to the west
BOD-014 was drilled from a step-out platform to the southeast of BOD-010 and returned 19.1m of 3.50 g/t Au and 11.57 g/t Ag from 37.7m downhole
BOD-015, the southeastern most hole drilled to date, returned 23.7m of 3.31 g/t Au and 9.60 g/t Ag from 34.3m downhole, with the zone remaining open in this direction
The next set of drill results are expected to be released when complete assays are received in approximately six weeks and will include step-out drilling from the eastern known extent of the structure targeted by the initial drilling
Bonita is located 10km to the south and 700m lower in elevation than Ayelen; the vein system encompasses a number of silicified structures exposed in several outcrops over an area of 800m by 200m and remains open in all directions
A magnetic survey undertaken with two quadcopter drones has completed approximately 5,000 hectares in the Bonita area, with the goal of mapping structural features under cover to the west and in rugged topography to the east

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance
All drilling was completed with HQ core. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw. Core is logged by the Company’s geologist on site who outlines the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is 1.5 meters and lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts.
After sawing, one-half of the core is kept on site in core boxes, and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into larger bags, which are then sealed and marked with the contents.
Samples are transported by Highlander Silver personnel to ALS Peru S.A. (“ALS“) located in Lima, Peru, where they are prepared and analyzed. ALS is independent of the Company.
In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample).
The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine). Control samples account for more than 15% of the total samples sent, in addition to the laboratory’s internal quality assurance programs.
The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
The scientific and technical information, including the drillhole data, has been verified by Dr. Sergio Gelcich. This verification involves data validation and quality assurance procedures, such as reviewing logging directly in front of the core, analyzing database integrity, conducting quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for assays, and cross-checking the original lab certificates.

Deploys BluWave-ai EV Everywhere and Energy Storage Autopilot to Mitigate EV Load on the Grid, Enabled by IESO’s Grid Innovation Fund
OTTAWA, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2025 / BluWave-ai and Area X.O, a multi-sector research and development complex founded by Invest Ottawa, announced the deployment of a groundbreaking project to optimize the performance of grid-scale batteries using BluWave-ai EV Everywhere™ and BluWave-ai Energy Storage Autopilot to manage grid congestion. The project is co-funded by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), and partnered with Hydro Ottawa and Moment Energy.
The BluWave-ai technology suite uses AI prediction and optimization in real-time to intelligently manage battery energy storage systems (BESS) in conjunction with electric loads, particularly Electric Vehicles (EV). This will mitigate the growing electricity load from all sources spiked by the massive onboarding of EVs in the grid. Implementing these AI-driven solutions is anticipated to save costly distribution of grid infrastructure upgrades. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global digitization of power networks, largely driven by AI, could save $1.8 trillion by 2050 in grid investment deferment.
This project involves the operation of two separate BESS, in partnership with Hydro Ottawa and Moment Energy. One battery is strategically located at Area X.O, functioning as a behind-the-meter system, while the second is installed at the Hydro Ottawa Dibblee Road facility, operating as a front-of-meter deployment.
The core purpose of this project is to address a critical challenge: the increasing deployments of EVs and the significant demand they place on the distribution grid, often during peak times. Based on projections, the number of zero-emission light-duty vehicles on the road in Canada is expected to grow from approximately 901,000 today to 5 million by 2030. If all these EVs were to charge simultaneously at a typical rate of approximately 7 kW (level 2 charging), the total power needed would be 35,000 megawatts (MW), about the total production capacity of Ontario.
By 2030, Canada’s grids face a potential peak demand of 5GW from EV charging, an amount comparable to the power generated by 17 small nuclear reactors (SMR); by then, only one such reactor is expected to be operational. This practical challenge is highlighted by BluWave-ai’s current data, which shows 15% of vehicles are already grid-connected. To help manage this challenge to the grid, earlier this year BluWave-ai announced the EV Everywhere Pan-Canadian Infrastructure cube which is coordinating EVs with Grids across the country. This current project further enhances this platform by integrating with batteries directly within distribution.
This overall initiative is a new way of thinking about the grid. The combined energy storage of these 5 million vehicles, assuming an average battery size of 63 kWh, would amount to 315,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) or 315 giga watt-hours (GWh).This greatly exceeds the projected total Canada-wide grid-scale battery storage. In Ontario , the IESO is planning for 3GW / 12 GWh, However this project creates the possibility of additional storage not just via EV’s but also stationary storage in the distribution grid.
“This highlights the immense potential of EVs to serve as a decentralized mobile battery fleet, offering a massive flexible resource for grid resilience,” said Devashish Paul, CEO and Founder of BluWave-ai, “the strategic placement of BESS inside distribution grids mitigates impacts of how these EVs affect the grid while they serve as a storage resource to compliment projected grid scale storage deployments leveraging BluWave-ai’s 48 international patent filings.”
The project focuses on operationalizing and testing these new capabilities for the future of building Canada’s grids supported by the extensive patent portfolio in this domain from BluWave-ai and also builds on a recent BESS project announced with Evolugen, a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Energy
“This collaboration highlights the ingenuity of homegrown companies scaling in our region, and how Area X.O helps these founders bring breakthrough technologies to market faster, safely,” said Sonya Shorey, President & CEO of Invest Ottawa. “By combining BluWave-ai’s advanced AI software with our cutting-edge infrastructure for testing and commercialization, we are driving solutions that make our energy systems smarter and more resilient. These advancements also have important dual-use applications in sectors such as defense and security that strengthen Canada’s capacity and sovereignty while helping our firms to compete in global markets.”
The AI-driven system will make real-time decisions based on factors such as general load prediction, current and predicted EV loads, energy prices, and grid conditions to ensure EV’s and batteries work in an automated manner in real time to help the grid while maximizing the needs of EV drivers.
EV drivers can connect to the BluWave-ai EV Everywhere platform at www.ev-everywhere.ca for direct rewards for their smart charging including a Canada wide Clean Charge Challenge.
Utilities can deploy EV Everywhere in their service area working directly with BluWave-ai.
