Echosens Advocates for Increased Liver Health Awareness and Regular Screenings
PARIS, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As we approach October’s National Liver Health Awareness Month, Echosens, a manufacturer of non-invasive diagnostic technology, FibroScan®, is urgently calling attention to the importance of prioritizing liver health. The company underscores the significant role of regular liver screenings, particularly non-invasive ones, in detecting and preventing various liver diseases, such as Hepatitis, Fatty Liver Disease, Cirrhosis, and Liver Cancer. Echosens points out that public awareness and information about these diseases are currently insufficient, emphasizing the need for more education and awareness.
Over 844 million people worldwide are affected by liver diseases, as reported by the World Gastroenterology Organization. Often referred to as a “silent killer,” liver disease frequently remains unnoticed until it reaches advanced stages. However, early detection via regular screening can slow or even reverse progression.
Dr. Mazen Noureddin, transplant hepatologist at Houston Research Institute and Houston Methodist Hospital, stated, “Our primary objective is to amplify awareness about the significance of liver health. Routine screenings can pinpoint liver disease at an early stage when it is most manageable. As physicians and patients, we must shift our focus from late-stage treatment to early detection and prevention.”
This year’s focus is increasing awareness of liver disease and highlighting the recent changes in terminology for fatty liver disease, now referred to as steatotic liver disease (SLD). The terms nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have been superseded by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), respectively. The changes in naming conventions were meant to de-stigmatize liver disease and more accurately represent the connection to steatosis. This decision was reached following a multinational consensus involving 236 panelists from 56 countries, led by three major pan-national liver associations. More information and a complete list of name changes can be found here.
Dr. Phil Newsome, Director of NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre, UK, endorsed the new nomenclature. “We believe that this change in terminology will help to eliminate the stigma associated with liver disease and improve patient identification,” said Newsome. “We hope the new names will encourage more people to seek early screening for liver abnormalities, ultimately preventing more serious conditions such as end-stage liver disease.”
About Echosens Pioneer in its field, Echosens significantly changed the practice of liver assessment with FibroScan®, the non-invasive solution for comprehensive management of liver health. FibroScan® is recognized worldwide and validated by over 4,200 peer-reviewed publications and 180+ international guidelines. Echosens has made FibroScan® available in over 127 countries enabling millions of liver examinations worldwide. https://www.echosens.com/
Airside Link Between Terminals is One of Many Updates Making LAX Efficient, Dependable and User-Friendly
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — When Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)’s Terminal 3 and Tom Bradley International Terminal connector recently opened, ticketed passengers and airport employees began enjoying unimpeded pedestrian access across LAX’s terminals post-security. The new path of travel equals approximately 2-miles from Terminal 1 to Terminal 8, allowing airport guests to conveniently journey to connecting flights and an abundant collection of offerings including food and beverage vendors, shopping and entertainment experiences, lounges, children’s play areas and pet relief stations, among others. This transformational moment represents the first time in the airport’s almost century-long history that unrestricted terminal-to-terminal access has been available to users. The airside connectivity made possible through this recent modernization at LAX will be bolstered further when the Automated People Mover and its corresponding pedestrian bridges open in 2024.

“While we modernize LAX to greatly elevate our guests’ experiences, we are also advancing economic opportunities for the airport’s neighbors and the greater Southern California region,” said BOAC President Karim Webb “The projects that now allow passengers to go between terminals post-security also provided jobs for over 7,000 local workers, equaling over half a billion dollars in wages for these individuals. The roughly 2-mile end-to-end connection from Terminal 1 to Terminal 8 will continue to foster career pathways for our local community by supporting the expansion of operations and concessions roles.”
“The positive impacts of LAX’s transformation are starting to materialize at the airport. With this latest milestone, passengers can journey from T1 to T8 post-security without the need for buses,” said Justin Erbacci, Chief Executive Officer, LAWA. “This is just one vital update in a collection of many that are making travel at LAX efficient, dependable and user-friendly.”
The new post-security connection is just one of many initiatives advancing LAX’s future-focused modernization. Interested parties can learn more about LAX’s transformation and subscribe for updates at bit.ly/LAX-Transformation.

ROCKFORD, Ill., Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — RTX (NYSE: RTX) today announced it has successfully demonstrated the operation of a solid-state circuit breaker to support hybrid-electric propulsion systems in future aircraft, a key part of the aviation industry’s efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
RTX is developing a solid-state circuit breaker to support hybrid-electric and all-electric propulsion systems in future aircraft.
Much like a circuit breaker in a residential home, a circuit breaker on an aircraft helps protect the plane by removing power from the system when it senses an electric fault. With future hybrid-electric propulsion systems slated to see increases in voltage and power compared to today’s aircraft, they will require new circuit breakers that can handle higher loads. RTX’s novel solid-state technology will enable its circuit breaker to handle five times the power of the largest circuit breaker flying today, with the ability to interrupt thousands of amps of current in less than 100 microseconds.
The circuit breaker is being developed as part of a collaboration between the RTX Technology Research Center (RTRC), Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney under NASA’s Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP).
“Without new circuit breakers that can manage higher loads, hybrid-electric aircraft won’t be possible,” said Andreas Roelofs, RTX vice president of research and RTRC director. “We’re leveraging the combined expertise of the RTX enterprise in power electronics, protection and integration to create a lightweight, power dense solution that will help enable the next generation of hybrid-electric and all-electric platforms.”
Having completed design, functional and altitude testing, RTX expects to further develop and refine the solution through system integration in Collins’ new electric power systems lab—The Grid—and flight demonstration in the coming years.
About RTX RTX is the world’s largest aerospace and defense company. With more than 180,000 global employees, we push the limits of technology and science to redefine how we connect and protect our world. Through industry-leading businesses – Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon – we are advancing aviation, engineering integrated defense systems for operational success, and developing next-generation technology solutions and manufacturing to help global customers address their most critical challenges. The company, with 2022 sales of $67 billion, is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
