Lung Scan Technology Reveals Hidden Secrets of Airway Disease

Scientists Unveil 4DMedical Imaging Breakthrough that Spots Early Lung Disease Missed by Standard Tests

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers at Vanderbilt University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Miami, and The Alfred Hospital studied the lungs of subjects including Veterans using technology developed by 4DMedical called X-ray Velocimetry Lung Ventilation Analysis Software (XV LVAS®). Findings of the major, multi-center study were described in the article, “X-ray velocimetry provides temporally and spatially-resolved biomarkers of lung ventilation in small airways disease” published in the journal Respiratory Research and showed that 4DMedical’s unique lung imaging technology—XV LVAS— can detect early or subtle small airway disease typically undiagnosed with conventional testing.

“We’re now able to see the invisible,” says Dr. Bradley Richmond, a pulmonologist who along with Dr. Michael Lester co-led the study. “XV LVAS technology gives us a window into parts of the lung we’ve never been able to assess so precisely before. It could transform care for patients whose symptoms were previously a mystery.”

For decades, doctors have depended on breathing tests such as spirometry and CT scans to assess lung health. However, some conditions—particularly those impacting the smallest airways—often go undetected, leaving patients without clear diagnoses or effective treatment. Now, with 4DMedical’s XV LVAS technology, clinicians can securely upload fluoroscopy scans for advanced analysis. This innovative system produces detailed, real-time color maps that show how air flows through different lung regions as patients breathe. The results are delivered in clear, easy-to-read reports that integrate into existing clinical workflows.

XV LVAS provides clinicians with more functional lung detail than ever before—spatially resolved, actionable information for more optimized diagnosis and treatment decisions. Using fast, low-dose fluoroscopy XV LVAS offers a validated leap forward in lung diagnostics.

The study revealed several important insights. The XV analysis detected lung problems in patients—including combat veterans—even when standard breathing tests and CT scans indicated normal lung function. The technology also uncovered distinctive patterns linked to the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition affecting more than 15 million Americans. Furthermore, with its simple, low-radiation scan, XV LVAS allows patients to potentially avoid more invasive procedures, such as biopsies, while providing answers previously inaccessible with other methods.

Now, clinicians can detect disease invisible to spirometry, reduce unnecessary invasive testing, and provide personalized respiratory care—all supported by peer-reviewed research. XV LVAS can make a difference for millions of people dealing with unexplained shortness of breath, including military veterans, COPD patients, and others suffering from hidden forms of lung disease. Already cleared for clinical use in the United States and Australia, this innovative lung scan is now being studied in larger patient groups.

About 4DMedical
4DMedical is a global medical technology company at the forefront of developing tools for cardiopulmonary diagnostics. The company delivers an advanced suite of software imaging solutions that provide clinicians with comprehensive, non-invasive insights into lung and heart function. 4DMedical’s SaaS-based technologies enable the visualization and quantification of regional lung ventilation and other critical metrics, all using existing imaging equipment and low-dose scans. 4D is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia with U.S. offices in Los Angeles, California.

Pertama Property Positions Itself as Bali’s Trusted Developer With 12-16% Projected Yields

BALI, Indonesia, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pertama Property is emerging as a serious contender in Bali’s fast-evolving real estate and hospitality sector, offering projected returns of 12% to 16% annually across its development portfolio. While officially launching just two years ago, the company is built on 15+ years of experience in Indonesia’s real estate sector, with more than $60 million in assets under development or management.

 

Pertama Property: Where Integrity Meets Island Investment

Following a post-pandemic rebound, Bali welcomed over 6.3 million international visitors in 2024, a figure expected to climb in 2025. But while the market is heating up, so too is enforcement. Developers cutting corners have faced shutdowns and demolitions, making legal compliance a business imperative.

The CEO of Pertama Property, Anisse Bouzidi, explains: “Our projected ROI is strong, but what really sets us apart is how we get there.” He adds, “In Bali’s current climate, performance only matters when it’s built on integrity. That means doing the groundwork: securing the right permits, aligning with local zoning laws, and developing trust with every stakeholder involved.”

In this evolving landscape where enforcement is becoming as important as design, Pertama’s integrated model; spanning architecture, legal, and operational management, stands out. Offering security, transparency, and long-term value.

A Growing Portfolio

Pertama Property’s portfolio spans limited-edition villas and a 4-star hotel, all in highly sought after locations and designed for long-term value and functional use.

  • Beraban Luxury Lofts – A 150-room lifestyle development hotel in Seminyak, tailored for flexible rental use. 
  • ELLE Villas Seminyak – A 14-unit branded villa project in partnership with ELLE, combining Parisian design with tropical ease.
  • Casaverde Residence – Two premium villas featuring Mediterranean-inspired architecture and dual private pools per unit.
  • Abadi Residence – Seven luxury villas in a growing residential corridor, catering to long-stay and lifestyle buyers.

Legal Structure Fully Secured

Pertama Property ensures legal certainty across every stage of the property journey. From the earliest stages of land acquisition to post-sale ownership, their legal team provides a full suite of advisory and execution services built on a foundation of clarity and compliance.

Key legal services include:

  • Title verification – Ensuring clean, dispute-free land ownership.
  • Lease agreement drafting – Custom contracts that comply with Indonesian law.
  • Zoning compliance – Verifying development plans align with Bali’s land-use regulations.
  • Legal due diligence – Full audits to safeguard every transaction.

In-House Permit & Compliance Services

As an officially licensed entity under a specialized KBLI classification, Pertama Property also provides end-to-end building permit services with in-house certified planners (SKA). From architectural to MEP drawings, their technical team prepares and submits all required documentation to obtain:

  • PBG (Building Construction Permit)
  • SLF (Function Worthiness Certificate)

This internal oversight dramatically reduces the risk of delays, legal disputes, or costly enforcement actions. Importantly, the team also integrates local cultural values and traditional site considerations into every submission.

For clients unfamiliar with Bali’s regulatory framework, free consultations are available to help navigate the permit process, zoning maps, and regulatory steps with confidence.

Integrated Property Management Services

Once development is complete, a separate division, Pertama Management, steps in to oversee operations and maximize asset performance. This division handles bookings, guest services, maintenance, and revenue optimization for over 70 villas and 3 hospitality properties.

This seamless transition from developer to manager gives investors turnkey access to passive income, an especially attractive proposition in a tourism-led market.

Why Pertama Property?

With the Indonesian government projecting over 6.5 million international arrivals in 2025 and short-term rental yields reaching up to 15% in high-demand areas like Seminyak and Canggu, the potential is clear. But that same demand has attracted a wave of speculative developments, many of which have faced legal security, construction halts, or demolition due to improper zoning and permits.

Pertama Property represents a different approach. With over 250 units under construction, 200 units under management, and a 150-person team, the company combines scale with precision—anchoring each project in verified legality, thoughtful design, and operational excellence.

By handling everything from design and construction to legal compliance and guest experience, Pertama offers a secure, seamless path into the luxury property investment landscape in Bali. Pertama Property represents the shift investors are now seeking: a high-performing real estate model grounded in legality, design excellence, and community respect.

About Pertama Property

Pertama Property is an integrated real estate developer with over 15 years of experience, dedicated to shaping Bali into a destination where people can live, work, and thrive. Each project is built on strong foundations, combining durable construction, refined craftsmanship, and timeless design. Residences come fully furnished with premium finishes and modern layouts, offering a seamless living experience and a compelling turnkey investment opportunity.

Backed by dedicated teams specializing in architecture, interior design, legal, and property management, Pertama Property delivers complete support with transparency and expertise. From concept to completion, the company transforms spaces into thoughtfully curated environments that prioritize function, style, and lasting value, setting a new benchmark for property development in Bali.

Grvt Launches “Strategies”, World’s First Compliant Peer-to-Peer On-chain Investment Marketplace

PANAMA CITY, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Grvt has launched “Grvt Strategies“, the world’s first compliant peer-to-peer on-chain investment marketplace. For the first time, everyday investors can better discover, directly access and invest in top-performing investment strategies. These strategies (“Strategies”) are professionally curated and managed by leading institutional funds, market makers, and acclaimed individual traders (“Strategy Managers”) – unprecedented in the current TradFi and DeFi setup.

Grvt Strategies: Let Elite Traders Win for You
Grvt Strategies: Let Elite Traders Win for You

The contemporary investment landscape presents mounting hurdles for ordinary retail investors. According to The World Economic Forum, a significant part of the global population[1] does not invest in capital markets due to the lack of access, education, and trust; the rapidly growing private markets have been historically limited to institutions and wealthy individuals for access.

“We believe growing your wealth should feel as natural as sending a message or booking a ride,” said Hong Yea, Co-Founder and CEO of Grvt. “Grvt Strategies is our bold step toward a future where anyone can access investment opportunities that were once reserved for institutions and the elites.”

Accessible Investing Powered by Blockchain, Governed by Smart Contracts

While peer-to-peer models have transformed lending and payments, investing has remained largely siloed. Access to sophisticated strategies has been limited by opaque gatekeeping, high minimums, and regulatory complexity.

To shake up the status-quo, Grvt built Strategies entirely on its secure blockchain, powered by ZKsync technology, using smart contract logic to automate the entire investment lifecycle. This means every step, from accepting deposits to distributing profits, operates transparently through programmable rules, eliminating the need for manual processes or intermediaries.

Strategy Managers can deploy their strategies more efficiently, and investors gain clear visibility into where their funds are going. By eliminating traditional hurdles like opaque administration and high operational costs, Grvt Strategies makes sophisticated investing both accessible and trustless for everyone.

All Strategies are on-chain and non-custodial, enabling investors to engage directly with Strategy Managers without intermediaries. Historical performance, methodology, and allocations are also visible on-chain.

Now, retail users can directly allocate any amount of capital to a curation of Strategies – typically out of reach for individual investors – ranging from AI-driven trading vaults to professionally managed thematic portfolios, all built and managed by verified Strategy Managers.

An Initial Cohort of Industry Leaders

Grvt Strategy Managers represent a mix of solid TradFi experience and native crypto and DeFi participation. The first cohort includes 6 Strategy Managers, among them are:

  • Ampersan , a leading liquidity provider in digital assets founded by ex-Optiver members (one of the largest market making firms in the world), having supported over $400 billion volume since inception;
  • AllDeFi, an active alpha strategy provider on DeFi, backed by a team of seasoned quantitative traders from one of the most performing hedge funds, with a proven track record of consistently delivering returns in volatile markets, bringing institutional-grade expertise directly to decentralized finance;
  • b-cube.ai , a VASP-regulated AI-driven crypto quantitative trading platform that democratizes access to sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies – traditionally reserved for hedge funds – with years of experience in finance, portfolio management, and quantitative trading;
  • Rogue Traders, a group of professional traders who have been trading prop and running strategies for hedge funds for years, now mentoring a new generation of traders through the Rogue Trader Academy.

Four additional Strategies will go live in July 2025, and 15 Strategy Managers are expected to join later this year. The total TVL is expected to grow to at least $100 million by the end of 2025.

“This isn’t just another trading platform, it’s an open marketplace for modern wealth creation,” Yea added. “We want to remove complexity and create an environment where everyone has a fair shot at growing their wealth, and the launch of Grvt Strategies leads the way to realize our vision. We’re excited to welcome the wide array of industry leaders on board. Their recognition and participation are crucial to the success of this new concept.”

Early Access and Incentives

To celebrate the launch, early investors will enjoy a 20% APR booster, as well as bonus EcoPoints redeemable toward Grvt’s upcoming token airdrop, the offer is valid until July 29.

Grvt Strategies is available now on Grvt website and web app; the release of mobile version is planned for Q4 2025.

Daniel Ku, CEO of Ampersan, commented, “We’ve worked with Grvt since their Mainnet to bring a liquid and high-performing platform to market. The launch of Grvt Strategies marks a new chapter for accessible and exceptional investments and a significant step for Ampersan’s immersion in the maturing digital asset landscape. Together, we’re building a platform where liquidity and transparency work hand in hand to foster a healthier ecosystem.”

Guruprasad Venkatesha, Co-Founder and CEO of b-cube.ai, said, “b-cube.ai was founded with the mission to democratize access to sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies traditionally reserved for hedge funds. The introduction of Grvt Strategies is exactly the vehicle we’ve been waiting for. We are thrilled to make our library of strategies and our unique AI-human collaboration model directly available to everyday investors, and we’re excited to watch this initiative grow.”

Shane Oglow, Co-Founder, Rogue Traders, said, “At Rogue Traders, our motto is simple: Break rules, build wealth. We know the markets inside out, and we’re on a mission to share our years of experience and expertise with a wider, more novice audience. Grvt Strategies presents a favorable model for everyone. We are exhilarated to be early joiners and backers of an initiative that holds tremendous potential for future growth.”
