HistoSonics, the developer of the Edison® Histotripsy System and novel histotripsy therapy platform, today announced the successful treatments of the first patients in WOLVERINE, a prospective feasibility trial evaluating the Edison® Histotripsy System for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong, a teaching hospital for The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The Edison System is a novel, non-invasive, image guided platform that uses the mechanical properties of focused ultrasound, called histotripsy, to destroy unwanted tissue without the need for invasive procedures, and with potentially fewer side effects than traditional, invasive therapies.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330349844/en/

 

 

 

WOLVERINE is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm feasibility trial designed to evaluate the safety of the Edison® Histotripsy System for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The trial is expected to enroll and treat up to 20 patients. Following treatment, participants will undergo imaging within 72 hours of the procedure to assess the immediate treatment effect. Patients will then be followed longitudinally to further evaluate safety and procedural outcomes.

 

“BPH affects millions of men worldwide and most of the existing treatment options require invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times,” said Mike Blue, Chairman and CEO, HistoSonics. “We believe histotripsy’s ability to mechanically destroy targeted tissue, completely non-invasively, has the potential to transform how BPH is treated. In addition, this milestone represents significant progress in our pursuit to expand the unique benefits of histotripsy over a significant number of serious clinical conditions throughout the body.”

 

 

“We are excited and extremely proud that Prince of Wales Hospital is the first center in the world to offer this novel treatment approach in a clinical trial and potentially benefit patients with BPH in the future,” said Dr. Peter Chiu, study investigator and Associate Professor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. “If shown to be safe and effective, the non-invasive nature of histotripsy has the potential to change how BPH is treated for many patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms around the world.”

 

 

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most common urological conditions affecting aging men. Approximately 50 percent of men over the age of 50 and up to 80 percent of men over the age of 80 experience symptoms associated with BPH. Globally, more than 110 million men are affected by the condition, and its prevalence is expected to continue increasing as populations age.

 

 

The Edison Histotripsy System is currently cleared in the United States for the destruction of liver tumors. The use of the Edison System for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is currently limited to investigational use.

The latest research from Omdia shows that US PC shipments (excluding tablets) grew 3% year-on-year in Q4 2025 to 18.2 million units, reversing two consecutive quarters of annual decline. The return to growth was driven by a combination of the peak of Windows 11 commercial refreshes, holiday-season demand, and vendor efforts to secure inventory ahead of anticipated memory and storage supply constraints in 2026. Full-year 2025 shipments reached 71.5 million units, up 3% from 2024, but 2026 shipments are now forecast to decline 13% year-on-year due to highly constrained supply of memory and storage products.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330580326/en/

 

 

 

“Q4 marked a meaningful inflection point for the US PC market,” said Kieren Jessop, Research Manager at Omdia. “After two quarters of year-on-year decline, the market returned to growth driven by solid performances across both the consumer and commercial segments. Consumer shipments rose 6% to 8.2 million units – the fourth consecutive quarter of annual growth – underpinned by holiday spending and a product mix shift to more affordable price ranges. The commercial segment grew 4% as enterprises continued their Windows 11 migration, particularly in the final stretch before the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline in October.”

 

Jessop continued, “The education segment remains a weak spot, declining 11% in Q4, although this was a notable improvement from the 29% drop in Q3 and the 16% decline in Q2. Reduced federal and state funding continues to weigh on school procurement, but we believe much of the inventory overhang that characterized the middle of the year has now been cleared. Government shipments edged up 1%, stabilizing after the sharp pullback earlier in 2025.”

 

 

“Looking ahead, the outlook for 2026 is significantly more cautious. Memory and storage costs have risen 40–70% since the start of 2025, and Omdia expects at least a further 60% increase in mainstream PC memory and storage costs in Q1 2026. These supply constraints are expected to have the greatest impact on the sub-$500 segment, which includes most education and entry-level consumer devices. As thinner margins and lower allocation priority constrain the low-end market, smaller vendors are especially at risk of being squeezed out of the market,” Jessop added.

 

 

Omdia forecasts US PC shipments to decline 13% in 2026 to approximately 61.9 million units before recovering modestly in 2027.

“Dell, which surged 22% year-on-year to claim the number two position in Q4 with a 25% market share had its strongest quarterly performance in the US in over two years. Its growth was concentrated in the commercial segment, where it benefited from large enterprise refresh deals and strong momentum in its premium lines. HP retained the top spot with 25% share despite more modest 1% growth, while Lenovo and Apple each recorded market share in the mid-teens.

 

For full-year 2025, however, the biggest story at the vendor level was Apple, which has been making market share gains in US businesses, reaching an 11% share in full year 2025: up 2.4 percentage points from 2024. This growth was driven by the MacBook Air, especially after doubling the M4 Air’s memory to 16GB while reducing the price by $100, bringing it back to the M1’s $999 price point. The $599 Neo extends that value trajectory and is expected to significantly disrupt the entry-level segment,” Jessop concluded.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330990938/en/

 

 

 

Backed by McCourt Global and its Executive Chairman, Frank McCourt, the PJL is a groundbreaking global competition that elevates high-performance riders and horses to their rightful place on the world stage. Built on merit, integrity, and excellence, the PJL brings together the world’s best athletes to compete for the biggest prize pot in the discipline’s history, helping to create a more resilient, long-term financial model for the sport.

 

Represented by sixteen teams, the PJL will introduce an industry-first rider selection process from a pool of 250 of the world’s leading riders.

 

 

World-class, immersive events will unfold across fourteen iconic international venues, spanning Europe, North America, and the Middle East inviting fans closer than ever to the grit, beauty, and power of high-stakes jumping.

 

 

The inaugural season will run from March to October 2027.

 

 

Designed to open the sport to new audiences whilst respecting its heritage, the PJL combines extraordinary athletic performance with premium entertainment, strengthened by the league’s partnership with Emmy award-winning production company Box to Box Films, and supported by a free-to-view broadcasting model. Cutting-edge technology, radical transparency, and innovative team formats enhance the drama, intensity, and rivalry that defines elite sport – unlocking the full potential of jumping, demanded by today’s global sports and entertainment marketplace, without compromising its core values.

 

 

With exceptional welfare standards, a pioneering development pathway, and financial sustainability at its core, the PJL is professionalising jumping.

 

 

This is elite sport.

 

 

This is extraordinary skill.

 

 

This is our sport as you’ve always loved it.

 

 

This is our sport as you’ve never seen it.

 

 

This is the PJL – the future of jumping.

 

 

Frank McCourt, Founder and Chairman of the PJL: “For far too long, many of the world’s best riders have been forced to choose between pursuing their talent and passion and building a sustainable career. The PJL is changing that by creating a clear and viable path for athletes to earn a great living by competing at the highest level, without compromising the traditions and values that define jumping. By aligning opportunity with performance and commitment, we are reshaping the future of the sport and empowering its most talented athletes to devote themselves fully to excellence.”

 

 

Neil Moffitt, Chief Executive Officer: “Today marks a major milestone for equestrian sport. The PJL has assembled an exceptional operations team to deliver on our mission to bring a new level of energy, excitement, and engagement to the sport.”

 

 

Lisa Lazarus, Chief Equestrian Advisor: “There is no greatness in horse sport without the welfare and safety of the horse. The PJL’s competition design, scheduling, travel approach, and veterinary oversight will reflect uncompromising standards of care, rest, and responsible decision-making every step of the way.”

 

 

Laura Kraut, Olympic gold medal-winning rider:“An Olympic gold medal is the greatest thing you can achieve in the sport. Yet for jumping athletes like me, the commercial opportunities often don’t follow. The gap between what athletes achieve and what they’re able to build tells you everything about the sport’s limited infrastructure to convert elite achievement into recognition and reward. I welcome the PJL’s values to reform this model in a way that drives revenue opportunities for all involved.”

 

 

Scott Brash, Olympic gold medal winner & current World Number 1 rider:“With horses—and in our sport especially—learning never stops. One of my biggest goals is to help move the sport forward, creating a better environment for athletes, horses, everyone involved, and those who follow along. I believe the PJL gives us a meaningful platform to have these important conversations. Competing at the highest level comes with enormous costs, and for most riders, securing financial support while dedicating the necessary time to the sport is a constant balancing act.

 

 

What makes the PJL so impactful is that it rewards riders in a way that allows us to truly prioritize both our own well-being and that of our horses—making full-time training and proper rest possible. That’s something genuinely groundbreaking.”

Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification services (TIC), through its Swiss branch Government Services Division, is pleased to announce a strategic agreement with Trade Technologies, the leading provider of trade finance automation, connectivity and transaction management services. This collaboration is a significant step toward reducing the complexities of international trade operations, particularly in regions where regulatory and inspection controls remain stringent.

Addressing Critical Trade Finance Challenges

 

 

The agreement comes at a pivotal time for global trade. Letters of Credit (LCs) continue to serve as essential instruments in international commerce, particularly across the Middle East and Africa, where counterparty risk, foreign exchange controls, sanctions exposure, and regulatory oversight face ongoing challenges.

 

 

In many LC transactions, conformity-assessment documents -such as Certificates of Inspection, Certificates of Conformity, or Inspection Reports- are required as part of the documentation package. These documents must be issued prior to export and be verified to ensure LC compliance, which often creates delays and adds operational complexity. The collaboration between Bureau Veritas and Trade Technologies streamlines this process by linking inspection and conformity assessments directly to the trade-finance workflow, enabling faster validation and delivery of the required certificates.

 

 

Market Outlook and Growth Potential

 

 

The documentary trade sector is forecasted to grow at a 3.1% CAGR through 2029, while receivables finance is projected to expand at 4.2% CAGR during the same period. Documentary trade is expected to remain a core component of the trade finance market well into the 2050s, underscoring the enduring relevance of this collaboration. Current high levels of counterparty and geopolitical uncertainty underscore the value of documentary trade to manage risk in cross-border transactions.

 

 

Tangible Benefits for Trade Stakeholders

 

 

The collaboration between Trade Technologies and Bureau Veritas promises to deliver meaningful improvements:

 

 

• Enhanced Border Efficiency: More streamlined border processes have already contributed to trade cost reductions of up to 5% over the past decade, with ambitious reforms potentially delivering up to 12 percentage points in additional savings.

 

• Reduced Uncertainty: By combining Trade Technologies’ digital trade expertise with Bureau Veritas’ deep international trade experience, this collaboration is expected to help exporters, importers, and traders reduce uncertainty and improve visibility.

• Compliance Assurance: The collaboration ensures that applicable standards and/or contractual obligations are met before goods move across borders, strengthening compliance with inspection and conformity requirements.

 

A Practical Alignment

 

This strategic collaboration reflects a practical alignment between Trade Technologies, industry-leading digital trade processes and Bureau Veritas’ global network of testing, conformity and inspection experts, enabling better coordination of financial, documentary, and regulatory workflows across global trade corridors.

 

 

“Our Certificates of Conformity and Inspection have long served as essential gatekeepers in global supply chains, confirming that goods meet applicable standards before they cross borders”, said Stéphanie Peyrot, Government Services Director for Central Southeast Europe. “Through this collaboration with Trade Technologies, we’re now able to integrate these critical documents directly into the trade finance workflow. This means faster processing, greater transparency, and reduced risk for all parties, from exporters and importers to banks and customs authorities. It’s about making compliance work for trade, not against it.”

 

 

“Bureau Veritas is an important player for vital documents and data to provide certainty of prompt payment under trade finance instruments”, said Kirk Lundburg, CEO of Trade Technologies. “This collaboration simplifies our communication with Bureau Veritas and reduces the time for delivering key data and documents necessary to get our customers paid for their export transactions. We are delighted to partner with Bureau Veritas to reduce risk and complexity for our shared customers.”
