BILLERICA, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2024 / OmniGuide Holdings, Inc. (OGH) is thrilled to announce the successful completion of a groundbreaking patient study for its innovative iSTONE™ software, a laser-guided system designed for real-time automatic target identification in endoscopic stone lithotripsy. This advancement marks a significant milestone in the treatment of urolithiasis, promising a new era of precision and safety in kidney stone management.
In August 2022, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research recognized the potential of this pioneering technology, awarding LISA Laser Products GmbH, a subsidiary of OmniGuide Holdings based in Germany, a prestigious grant (Grant No. 13GW0628) to develop the iSTONE system further. The novel optical feedback technology at the heart of iSTONE has demonstrated a significant reduction in energy required during lithotripsy procedures in a porcine animal model, thereby minimizing the heat load and potential temperature increase in the kidney. This innovation not only preserves the integrity of the organ but also protects it from permanent postoperative damage.
The results from the animal study are compelling, showing the potential for a reduction of over 50% in the energy applied and the risk of kidney damage compared to the traditional Gold Standard Holmium Therapy.1 "Our unique approach underscores our patient-focused mission and is set to redefine laser-assisted lithotripsy," stated Tullio Cappelletto, Global Director of Marketing and Sales at OmniGuide Holdings.
The OmniGuide Digital Innovation Institute, with its team of exceptional developers and engineering specialists, continues to push the boundaries of medical technology. "Their commitment to advancing patient care has led to the creation of iSTONE, a testament to the company's dedication to innovation and excellence in healthcare," stated Robert Allen, CFO of OmniGuide Holdings.
The findings from the patient study, eagerly anticipated by the medical community, will be unveiled in the forthcoming months. OmniGuide Holdings is poised to lead the way in enhancing the safety, efficiency, and outcomes of kidney stone treatment, solidifying its position at the forefront of medical innovation.

TIS Helps Treasury Teams Navigate the Ongoing ISO 20022 Transition After the 2025 Banking Deadline10.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
BERLIN, DE / ACCESS Newswire / December 10, 2025 / Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), a leading cloud-based platform for payments and cash management, is future-proofing organizations with specialized translation services in the wake of the recent November 2025 ISO 20022 deadline. A major turning point for the financial industry, SWIFT now requires banks to move their cross-border payment messages to ISO 20022. As a result, treasury teams are already seeing differences in how their banks send and receive payment information. Adapting to these changes will require a strategic approach to modernizing systems and processes. ISO 20022 replaces a patchwork of older standards with a single approach to structuring payment data. The new universal standard is designed to reduce confusion across markets, improve data quality, and support the level of transparency that regulators around the globe now expect. Moving to ISO 20022 payments takes time and strategic vision, especially when legacy

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / The Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) released new research today examining how parents and children in the United States and Australia view social media bans for anyone under 16.

The research arrives as Australia implements a national under 16 social media ban, placing global attention on how the policy will affect youth and their families. FOSI's study surveyed 4,000 parents and children ages 10 to 17 to understand how both groups feel about restrictions, enforcement, and the broader impact of social media on daily life.
