Mentavi’s innovative online asynchronous assessment, validated in a clinical study presented at the 10th World Congress on ADHD, provides clinicians with an efficient, comprehensive diagnostic mental health evaluation at an affordable price for their patients.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2025 / Sixty percent of counties in the U.S. do not have a single psychiatrist, and 77 percent report a severe shortage, according to a 2022 study in Psychiatric Times. Primary care clinicians often have to fill this gap, but only 10-30 percent of them say they are comfortable diagnosing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. Mentavi Health offers a clinically validated diagnostic assessment for the diagnosis of ADHD in adults that closes the psychiatric care gap quickly, easily, and at an accessible price.

Mentavi Health is recognized as an innovator and national leader in online mental health diagnosis and treatment. Founded in 2018 as ADHD Online, Mentavi Health now provides a broad spectrum of services, from mental wellness checks to diagnosis and treatment.

The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation provides critical support to primary care clinicians, in particular those whose patients are seeking diagnosis and treatment for ADHD or other mental disorders. Patients can complete the self-paced online evaluation on their own, without a clinician present. It takes one to two hours to complete, and assesses for mental health concerns including anxiety, ADHD, and depression. The cost is less than $200.

A licensed, doctorate-level psychologist reviews the assessment responses and renders a diagnosis to the patient and designated provider in five days or less. The diagnosis can be used to develop a treatment plan, which can include medication (as warranted), coaching, and therapy with a Mentavi clinician or the patient’s own healthcare provider.

“Primary care clinicians are becoming increasingly important in adult ADHD care, but they often lack the time, tools, and resources needed to accurately diagnose the condition,” said Mentavi Health Chief Medical Officer Barry K. Herman, M.D., MMM. “Clinically validated asynchronous assessments and telehealth clinicians, as available on the Mentavi Health platform, can provide primary care clinicians with this evidence-based, accessible resource for their patients.”

Research conducted by Mentavi and presented at the 10th World Congress on ADHD in Prague, Czech Republic, validated the accuracy and reliability of the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation for diagnosing ADHD in adults, when compared with traditional face-to-face, in-person clinical assessments that are typically the standard of care in the field. A publication of the study results in a peer-reviewed journal is expected in the next few months.

Among the study’s findings:

• The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation and the clinical interview have a diagnostic agreement of 78%.

• The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation has a Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 94.9%

• The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation identifies ADHD-positive cases more accurately than the clinical interview, with a 12% false positive rate vs. 56% for the clinical interview.

• The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation is more conservative than the clinical interview, meaning it does not over-diagnose ADHD in adults.

The Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation is based on the latest research and practices. It was developed using more than a dozen validated screening instruments and specific questions aligned with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria to diagnose a broad range of mental health conditions, including ADHD. Study results demonstrate that an online asynchronous assessment, such as the Mentavi Health tool, is a reliable, accurate, and trusted tool for diagnosing ADHD in adults.

“As value-based care becomes the norm, primary care teams need scalable tools that deliver measurable impact,” said Keith Brophy, CEO of Mentavi Health. “Our diagnostic solution helps practices identify and treat mental health conditions earlier, supporting better patient outcomes and stronger performance on quality metrics.”

Mentavi Health’s core mission is to increase access to accurate, efficient, and evidence-based mental health assessments. With ADHD in adults significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation will aid clinicians with their role in the diagnosis and treatment of this and related disorders.

Established as ADHD Online in 2018, Mentavi Health has evolved to encompass a broader range of mental health services. With the mission to make high-quality ADHD assessments accessible to all, Mentavi has grown to address not only ADHD but also the most common related mental health conditions.

SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), and a clinical stage, leading global pioneer in the development of broad-spectrum antivirals based on host-mimetic nanomedicine technology that viruses cannot escape, announces that the design of the adaptive clinical trial protocol for the treatment of MPox Virus Clade Ia and Ib infections and disease is nearly complete.

The adaptive clinical trial is designed to provide information on three important aspects in a single, compact clinical trial:

1. safe and effective dosing regimen in patients,

2. safety and tolerability of the drug in patients, and

3. antiviral effectiveness of the drug in patients.

The overall clinical trial will enroll approximately 80 patients.

“This is an important milestone towards filing of the clinical trial application and starting the clinical trial,” said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman of the Company, adding, “Our CRO and the Principal Investigator have created a marvelous design that is both frugal and efficient while providing all of the information necessary for understanding the safety and effectiveness of NV-387 for treating MPox disease.”

Currently there is no drug approved for the treatment of MPox disease that is actually effective for treating the disease.

NV-387, if it shows effectiveness, will be the very first drug that has shown effectiveness in human clinical trial of an orthopoxvirus.

If NV-387 is found to be effective in this Phase II clinical trial, the Company intends to continue further development of NV-387 for treatment of orthopoxvirus infections under a US FDA IND towards studies as needed for regulatory approval of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox as well as Smallpox indications. The Company intends to obtain regulatory approval in the African Region as well, which is likely to arrive before a US approval, and also seek approvals in the European Union and other countries and regions.

MPox is an Orphan disease in the USA and treatment of MPox by NV-387 is eligible for Orphan Drug Designation by the US FDA with attendant benefits.

Smallpox is a bioterrorism agent of concern in the USA as well as across the world and is an important revenue opportunity for the Company. Tecovirimat sales to the US Government alone have netted SIGA, the drug holder, over $600 million through December 31, 2024, according to SIGA’s annual report to the SEC ^[1] .

The adaptive, randomized, SOC controlled clinical trial will proceed in two parts:

In Phase IIa part, an oral dose of the drug NV-387 given twice daily initially for six days will be compared with the standard of care (SOC) at the hospital for treatment of MPox disease. Patients will be sequestered in the hospital and will be evaluated daily for clinical drug safety and tolerability parameters, and clinical MPox disease evaluation parameters. Additionally, lab evaluations including clinical blood chemistry, CBC, cytokines, urinalysis, ECG, X-rays when necessary, and virological assays will be conducted every 3 days. Based on the results, the Principal Investigator will determine whether additional days of drug dosing can be well tolerated and can improve on effectiveness. If so, the patients will continue to receive same dosing for six more days with same evaluations. The patients will be followed until full resolution of the MPox disease.

There will be two arms in this Phase IIa: The New Treatment Arm of 10 patients with NV-387 dosing plus SOC and the control SOC Arm of 10 patients. The dosing regimen for Phase IIb will be determined on the basis of Phase IIa results.

In the Phase IIb part, the clinical trial will be in a 2:1 randomized patients base with approximately 40 subjects in the New Treatment Arm and 20 patients in the SOC Arm. Evaluations will be similar to those in Phase IIa, with more emphasis given to specific points that may have come up in Phase IIa regarding safety, tolerability, as well as efficacy.

The Phase IIa will be conducted at a single site in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Phase IIb may be expanded to include additional sites within DRC as well as other countries experiencing severe MPox outbreak in the African Region.

The “NV-387 Oral Gummies” drug product formulation will be employed in the Phase II. This is a soft solid formulation that is designed to stick in the oral cavity and dissolve naturally over time, with no solid object (pill or capsule) swallowing necessary. This is important for MPox because MPox causes lesions on mucosal surfaces that make swallowing painful and difficult. MPox is primarily known for the explicit characteristic painful rash on the external skin, but it is a significantly more severe disease than just a skin rash.

Two drugs, Tecovirimat and Brincidofovir were approved by the US FDA for Smallpox and MPox on the basis of the US FDA “Animal Rule,” i.e. based on animal infection and treatment studies only to demonstrate efficacy, and a safety/tolerability human clinical trial.

Tecovirimat failed in clinical trials for the treatment of MPox with no improvement over the standard of care. Brincidofovir was abandoned in a clinical trial of MPox due to first three patients coming down with drug induced liver injury. Despite this, brincidofovir was recently resurrected under an international coalition led by US CDC and first patient was dosed around January 2025 in the “MOSA” clinical trial ^[2] . The topline results were expected to be announced as early as CY Q1 (March 2025) and efficacy topline data were expected no later than CY Q2 (June, 2025). No press releases post initiation of the MOSA clinical trial could be found.

The MPox virus circulating in DRC and neighboring regions is of Clade 1a and Clade 1b subtypes, with the latter predominant. Clade 1b is more transmissible of the two, which is why it has resulted in a sustained epidemic. The MPox Clade 1a case fatality rate (CFR) is about 3%-11% whereas the CFR for Clade 1b is about 1%. The MPox Clade 2b is the virus causing continuing cases in the Western world, which causes a much less severe disease than Clade 1a/1b and has a very low CFR, according to CDC. Sporadic cases of Clade 1 in the Western world continue to occur. Four separate travel-related MPox Clade 1 cases reported in the USA that did not result in any further spread, since November 2024, according to the CDC ^[3] .

Clearly, the threat of MPox Clade 1 causing a potential epidemic in the USA cannot be ignored, and readiness with a drug that works against the same is important to achieve.

• EIA Revisions to Address Concerns and Provide Pathway to Approval Without Resubmission of the Full EIA

• Key Environmental Improvements are being incorporated in the Ongoing Optimized Feasibility Study

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2025 / Cerrado Gold Inc. (“Cerrado Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Portuguese subsidiary, Redcorp – Empreendimentos Mineiros, Lda. (“Redcorp”), has received notification from the Portuguese Environment Agency (Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente, “APA”) confirming that it will permit application of Article 16 procedures that allows Redcorp to submit revised technical documentation and project improvements to address APA comments, in relation to its Environmental Impact Statement (EIA) as outlined below.

Under Portuguese environmental law, Article 16 of the EIA Legal Framework allows developers to revise and resubmit elements of a previously submitted project in order to address identified environmental concerns, without restarting the full permitting process. This mechanism is designed to improve project outcomes while maintaining regulatory integrity and efficiency (Decreto-Lei n.º 151-B/2013, Diário da República, 1.ª série – N.º 211, de 31 de outubro de 2013).

The Company’s Optimized Feasibility Study (“OFS”), which is well underway, has proactively contemplated the changes requested, which are aimed at further strengthening the environmental and operational robustness of the proposed mining operation. In addition, the Company is continuing with all other activities as planned, such as detailed engineering alongside the work related to the OFS to minimize any impact on the overall development schedule while the Article 16 requirements are in process.

While application of Article 16(2) does not constitute project approval, it is a formal step under Portuguese law that enables developers to address concerns raised during the initial review and implement modifications, avoiding a full resubmission or rejection of the project. If the revised submission is accepted, the Company anticipates a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIA) decision could be issued in Q1 2026.

APA’s formal response follows Redcorp’s request, made during the public consultation and hearing period, to initiate the procedure foreseen in Article 16(2). In its reply, APA confirmed that, based on the justification provided by Redcorp, there are no objections to applying the Article 16(2) procedure. The Company now has 180 calendar days from the date of the notification to submit the revised project elements and a synthesis report addressing the required components outlined in the legal framework.

The Company’s revised submission will incorporate environmental and design improvements, including:

• Elimination of cyanide use across all processing stages at Lagoa Salgada, replaced by flotation-only circuits that has been validated through recent metallurgical testing;

• Enhanced protection of local aquifers and water resources, with new hydrogeological and geochemical control measures;

• Presentation of alternative borehole locations to support regional emergency water supply resilience;

• Deployment of a real-time environmental monitoring system, covering air, water, vibration, and noise parameters; and

• Application of Best Available Techniques (BAT) across the plant layout and mine design, improving performance and minimizing impact.

Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman of Cerrado Gold, commented: “This is a constructive step forward for the Lagoa Salgada Project and demonstrates APA’s openness to a robust and transparent permitting process. We appreciate the opportunity to address concerns through technical and environmental improvements, which are seen as a typical request at this stage of the approval process. We note that many of the points raised by APA are already being integrated into the updated feasibility study due in September.”

Mr. Brennan continued: “With strong support from our stakeholders, including EDM, we remain confident that the revised submission will meet the highest standards of environmental compliance and will position the project for successful approval with minimal delay. Cerrado reiterates its strong commitment to developing the Lagoa Salgada Project as a model of environmental and technical excellence, delivering value to local communities, stakeholders, and European critical raw materials supply chains.”

The Company is further supported by its strategic partner in the project, EDM – Empresa de Desenvolvimento Mineiro, S.A. (“EDM”), a Portuguese state-owned mining development entity, with decades of experience in environmental remediation and mine water management. EDM has reaffirmed the strategic importance of the Lagoa Salgada Project to Portugal’s mining sector and expressed full confidence in the project’s ability to meet the highest environmental and operational standards.

Following expanded 2,882m RC drilling program (results pending)

HIGHLIGHTS

• Tolmer high-grade silver discovery: expedited soil geochemistry program completed over ~1.9km² area surrounding recently expanded reverse circulation (RC) drilling program¹

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 13, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that an expedited soil sampling program has been completed over a ~1.9km² area surrounding the new ‘Tolmer’ high grade silver discovery at the Company’s South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola). ~380 samples have been collected with assay results expected during September 2025.¹

¹ Refer to ASX announcements dated 10 and 16 June 2025

Commenting on the geochemical program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

“We recently expanded our Tolmer ‘silver zone’ drilling by ~50% to cover a ~400 metre by ~250 metre area based, in part, upon further geological surface reconnaissance. This program extends that reconnaissance to a broader area of ~1,700 metres by ~1,100 metres to see if we can potentially identify a larger mineralised footprint.”

Program background

Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new ‘silver zone’ ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including 6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag from 46m, 14m @ 434 g/t Ag from 46m and 4m @ 1,417 g/t Ag from 9m.²

Chadwick Lane Murray Issues a Scholarly, Soul-Shaking Clarion Call on Injustice-Rooted in History, Reaching Toward the Future

MILWAUKEE, WI / ACCESS Newswire / July 12, 2025 / With an eye on Orwell and a finger on the pulse of generational upheaval, Chadwick Lane Murray’s A Vision of 1984: Social Injustice and Its Enemies is not merely a book; it is a reckoning in print. Combining personal discovery with public inquiry, this genre-defiant work dissects war, racism, economic inequality, and planetary decline through the prism of history, sociology, and unapologetic moral urgency.

Launched in 2025, A Vision of 1984 arrives at a time when public discourse has never been louder-nor truth more elusive. The echoes of the past are impossible to ignore; from soldiers’ personal letters smuggled through trenches in Verdun to the dusty protest pamphlets of 1968’s Paris uprisings, Murray excavates the forgotten margins of history to illuminate our present. The narrative threads converge into a singular message: systemic injustice isn’t accidental; it’s by design.

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs

A Book Anchored in Humanity-and Armed with Numbers

Structured into four critical sections-Arbitrariness, Inequitable Distribution, Defective Correctives, and What Can Be Done-the book provides a rigorous framework for understanding how injustice operates across cultural, institutional, and economic lines. Murray doesn’t simply ask what went wrong; he asks who made it so.

• Arbitrariness explores how imperialism, racism, and military conflict create environments where suffering becomes predictable; the author draws on personal family archives, including letters from the Battle of the Somme and Khe Sanh.

• Inequitable Distribution traces the legacy of wealth hoarding and monopolistic behavior; referencing post-war boom statistics, Murray cites that by 1982, the top 1% of Americans controlled 33% of national wealth-a number eerily similar to current figures.

• Defective Correctives critiques modern education, judicial, and political systems. As early as 1980, voter confidence in Congress had dropped below 30%; it has yet to meaningfully recover.

• What Can Be Done proposes moral advocacy over institutional neutrality; a radical thesis for a radical age.

His prose is often poetic; his analysis, razor-sharp. There is a method behind the heartbreak.

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” – Bill Gates

The Ghost of Orwell Meets the Algorithm Age

By resurrecting Orwell’s prophetic spirit in the age of misinformation, A Vision of 1984 speaks not just to policy experts or historians, but to anyone questioning the trajectory of modern civilization. Murray juxtaposes the rigidity of bureaucracy with the chaos of human longing; he paints portraits of those ground down by economic gears too large to see. The book is both a historical synthesis and a sociological sermon.

And there’s data behind the drama. Murray pulls from the digital archives of post-war Britain; he examines U.S. labor participation trends since 1945; he even references the founding of Silicon Valley itself, noting that by 1984-the year Orwell imagined totalitarian surveillance-the seeds of the tech-industrial complex were already blooming in Palo Alto. In fact, by 1984, over 40% of the world’s semiconductors were being produced in Santa Clara County; as Murray notes, “Surveillance didn’t come from the government; it came from an IPO.”

It’s this interweaving of ideology and infrastructure that makes the book both timeless and timely.

The Rise of Humanistic Sociology-And the Moral Reckoning Ahead

Inspired by the “new sociology” and thinkers such as Morris Ginsberg, Murray refuses academic detachment. He considers objectivity overrated when facing systemic violence. Instead, he urges action; he views sociology not as a lens but as a lever. Readers will find themselves challenged-emotionally, intellectually, even ethically.

“This is not a bedtime story; this is a wake-up call,” said Ovais Riaz, who represents Murray. “It challenges every reader-scholars, students, and citizens-to choose whether they want to be part of the solution or simply spectators to decline.”

If Orwell gave us a dystopia to fear, Chadwick Lane Murray gives us one to recognize.

Book Details

About the Author

Chadwick Lane Murray is an independent scholar, essayist, and human rights advocate. Raised between libraries and living rooms filled with war stories, his worldview was shaped not by ideology, but by testimony. He studied the intersections of history and sociology at the University of [Insert], and later worked in urban planning and policy research before devoting himself fully to writing.

His passion for justice is more than theoretical; Murray has conducted oral history interviews with veterans of World War II, organized educational outreach in post-industrial cities, and contributed to policy whitepapers addressing economic inequality. His work is known for fusing raw human emotion with empirical rigor-making him a rare voice in a world of noise.

Ovais Riaz, Waa Say & the Team Editorial – Evrima Chicago. 

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / July 12, 2025 / In our hyper-visible era, your digital presence isn’t just cosmetic; it’s the bedrock of your influence. But to truly understand how to master that presence, we need to rewind-to the laboratories, land leases, and moonshot mindsets that built Silicon Valley.

The digital stage is crowded, loud, and often misleading. So how do today’s most respected leaders build a digital reputation that doesn’t just sparkle for a moment but lasts for decades?

1. The First Page of Google Is Your Resume. Guard It Like a Vault.

Roughly 75% of users never scroll past the first page of search results (HubSpot). If your name doesn’t command the narrative there, someone else’s version of your story likely will.

In the 1980s, the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates understood that owning the window through which people viewed their product was everything. Fast forward, and the first-page search results have become that window.

Whether you’re a founder, policymaker, or physician, your search results now double as your business card, your background check, and your elevator pitch.

Digital Blueprint:

• Regularly update your bios and headshots across platforms.

• Use structured metadata and schema tags on your site.

• Ensure news citations and publications surface organically and consistently.

2. Visibility Without Protection Is a Liability

Digital exposure without cybersecurity is like parking a Ferrari in Times Square with the doors unlocked. According to the FBI (2023), over $12.5 billion was lost to cybercrime last year alone.

Today’s cyber threats aren’t just about stealing passwords; they include deepfake impersonations, metadata scraping, and search hijacking. For influential individuals, the cost isn’t just financial-it’s reputational.

Modern Defenses:

• Use identity tracking and domain monitoring tools.

• Enroll in executive-level privacy programs.

• Set up automated takedown systems for impersonation and slander.

3. Build Long-Form Credibility, Not Short-Term Clicks

The early architects of the web believed it would become a library, not a loudspeaker. Yet today, viral content often overshadows verified expertise.

The leaders who endure don’t rely on algorithms-they rely on authorship.

Think of your online presence like historical documentation. The strongest brands leave a digital paper trail: articles, interviews, expert panels, and thought leadership. Real influence comes not from being seen, but from being understood.

Historical Flash Stats Table:

4. Design for the Next Demographic

By 2050, one in five people on Earth will be over 60 (WHO). Yet most websites are still built for 25-year-olds with perfect vision and no tremors.

Accessibility is no longer a niche concern; it’s a demographic inevitability. Thoughtful leaders are baking inclusive design into their reputations.

What to Prioritize:

• Readable typography, high-contrast visuals

• Voice and keyboard navigation

• Descriptive alt-text and memory-friendly UX

5. Dignity Over Drama

Your followers might applaud the flash-but stakeholders respect the substance. The most trusted figures online have digital profiles that reflect clarity, consistency, and conviction.

Steve Jobs once said: “Focus is about saying no.” In an age of digital noise, saying no to overexposure, clickbait, and self-branding gimmicks is often what builds the deepest trust.

The best digital reputations feel earned, not engineered.

Final Takeaway

The leaders shaping tomorrow’s digital trust aren’t just online-they’re intentional, secure, accessible, and aligned. If your presence doesn’t command depth at first glance, it’s not influence-it’s static.

Beyond the scroll is where the real narrative begins. And if you’re ready to be read right, this is where you start.
