The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.69% during the forecast period. The report provides a comprehensive forecast of key segments below- Segmentation Overview Get a glance at the market contribution of rest of the segments - Download a FREE Sample Report in minutes! 1.1 Fastest growing segment: Prokinetic drugs play a significant role in managing gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed stomach emptying. These medications, such as metoclopramide and domperidone, are popular due to their ability to address the fundamental cause of the condition. While not all prokinetic agents produce a corresponding improvement in stomach emptying, they are effective in alleviating symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and early satiety. Other recent drugs, including ghrelin, motilin, 5-HT4 receptor agonists, and dopamine receptor agonists, are being studied for their potential in gastroparesis treatment. The use of prokinetic agents for symptoms like constipation, caused by decreased motility in the distal GI tract, also increases their demand and drives market growth during the forecast period. Ani Pharmaceuticals offers Reglan, a metoclopramide formulation, for gastroparesis treatment in the US. Analyst Review Gastroparesis is a chronic condition characterized by delayed emptying of the stomach, leading to various digestive disruptions such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Neurogastrx's tradipitant is a promising new drug for gastroparesis treatment, while metopimazine, deudomperidone, and metoclopramide are common antiemetics used for symptom management. Evoke Pharma and ANI Pharmaceuticals are among the companies involved in gastroparesis drug development. Diabetes, lifestyles including alcohol consumption and tobacco use, and certain medications like Erythromcin can trigger gastroparesis. Innovative drugs under clinical trials aim to address the underlying causes and improve patient outcomes. However, these drugs may carry risks such as liver injury, GI bleeding, acute cholecystitis, and acute pancreatitis. Antiemetics like Reglan have been linked to Tardive Dyskinesia, a serious side effect. Clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments for gastroparesis.

US agencies should use advanced technology to identify mysterious drones, Schumer says
TikTok, the popular short video app, has recently expanded into e-commerce with the launch of in-app shopping features. Leveraging its massive user base and engaging content, TikTok is turning Double 12 into a shopping spectacle with live-streamed sales events, user-generated product reviews, and influencer recommendations. By blending entertainment with shopping, TikTok is reshaping the online shopping experience and attracting a new generation of digital consumers.Walmart Inc WMT.N, Amazon.com AMZN.O and fast-growing e-commerce sites Shein and PDD Holding's PDD.O Temu saw record-breaking sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to spending data, suggesting that they may finish the holiday season on a much stronger note than Target TGT.N and Best Buy BBY.N, which struggled. Holiday shoppers largely browsed at brick-and-mortar stores, making more online purchases at some retailers, snapping up such items as pre-owned Rolex watches, Pokemon cards and singer Sabrina Carpenter's perfumes at Walmart, and Fire TV streaming devices and Shark vacuums at Amazon during the deal-heavy week, which at Amazon began on Nov. 21, according to company statements. Americans spent roughly $10.8 billion online on Black Friday this year, up 10.2% from the previous year, then followed that up by spending $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday, 7.3% more compared to Cyber Monday in 2023, according to Adobe. Among major retailers, Amazon saw the strongest growth on Black Friday, with sales rising 6% compared to Black Friday a year earlier, according to data firm Facteus, which tracks online and in-store spending in the United States analyzing data from banks, credit unions, payment processors and fintech companies. Its figures are not inflation-adjusted. Rival Walmart saw 3% more spending compared to the year-earlier period, while big-box chain Target and consumer electronics chain Best Buy saw declines versus a year earlier, Facteus said. Earn rewards on your spending: Best credit cards for shopping Among top performers on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, were low-cost China rivals Temu and Shein, clocking double-digit percentage growth sales, albeit from a lower sales base, Facteus said. Similarly, on Cyber Monday, the Monday following Thanksgiving, Amazon, Walmart, Temu and privately held Shein saw an increase in sales compared to Cyber Monday 2023, while Best Buy's declined versus a year earlier. Target saw a modest increase. Walmart earnings: Retailer projects fruitful holiday shopping season, stock jumps again At Target, the muted sales performance came despite exclusive merchandise partnerships with singer Taylor Swift and the Broadway show turned Hollywood movie, "Wicked," which were expected to give it a boost. According to research firm Circana, Target's exclusively available Taylor Swift "Eras Tour Book" sold 814,000 print units in just two days of launch, making it the second-highest adult non-fiction release behind Barack Obama's "A Promised Land." At Best Buy, which has struggled due to shoppers pulling back on items like TVs and laptops, sales were 2% lower on Black Friday and 4% lower on Cyber Monday compared to the year-ago periods. Still, its shares are up 2% since Thanksgiving on Nov. 28, suggesting that investors expect a better performance ahead. During the same seven-day period Walmart and Amazon's shares have risen between 3% and 7%, while Target's and PDD's have stayed flat. Walmart offered four times as many deals between Black Friday and Cyber Monday on its Walmart.com marketplace, resulting in its highest single sales day ever between Nov. 25 and Dec. 2, the company said in a blog post. Holiday shopping: Walmart is seeing growth in higher income shoppers, retailer says While the retailer did not specify which day was its sales peak, it said top products included pre-owned Rolex watches, refurbished Dyson vacuums, Pokemon cards, vintage LEGO items, and beauty products from T3, BabylissPRO, Paul Mitchell and Victoria's Secret. Singer Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth was the most coveted fragrance, it said. Amazon said that the 12-day shopping period ending on Cyber Monday resulted in record sales compared to the same period in prior years, which Facteus confirmed. Top sellers included Medicube devices, FireTV sticks, Samsung TVs, Barbie, Play-Doh, Shark vacuums and air purifiers. Shoppers bought a record number of items, generating its highest-ever sales during a 12-day period. Temu generated $53.3 million in sales on Black Friday and $55.1 million on Cyber Monday, which were both records, Facteus said. Temu told Reuters in an email that toys, especially kids' instruments and cameras, were popular. Similarly, Shein, also hit new highs, with sales of $34.2 million on Black Friday and $38.9 million on Cyber Monday, the data firm said.

In recent months, the football world has been abuzz with speculation and anticipation over the outcome of the investigation into Manchester City's alleged violations of financial fair play regulations. The stakes are high as the English Premier League is set to make a decision on whether the club will face demotion as a result of the infractions.
In conclusion, the reappraisal of "moderate accommodation" in the current economic environment represents a significant evolution in monetary policy thinking. It signals a shift towards a more nuanced and cautious approach to policy, one that seeks to balance the imperatives of growth, inflation, and financial stability.
MIAMI — Jonnu Smith had been so involved in the Miami Dolphins’ offense in recent weeks. But over the first 60 minutes of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at Hard Rock Stadium, Smith appeared to be missing. No catches. One target. It all changed in overtime though. Smith made all three of his catches in the extra period including a 10-yard touchdown reception in traffic from Tua Tagovailoa to lift the Dolphins to a much-needed 32-26 comeback victory. “I lost my voice out there going crazy,” Smith said. “It’s my faith that has me prepared for any moment. I didn’t blame the first, second, third quarter. Individually, it wasn’t the game I’ve been having the past couple of weeks but I didn’t blink at all. I’m just excited about continuing to have offensive success going forward and when my time comes, I just have to be there to make the play that counts.” The Dolphins (6-7), who basically cannot afford another loss this season if they are to somehow sneak into the playoffs, are now tied with the Indianapolis Colts (6-7) and two games behind the Denver Broncos (8-5) for the final wild-card spot in the AFC. The loss eliminated the Jets (3-10) from postseason contention for the 14th consecutive season. It was the Dolphins’ first overtime game in the three seasons since Mike McDaniel became head coach and Miami’s first overtime win since Dec. 22, 2019 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. It took Miami erasing two fourth quarter deficits to make it happen. And it took some Tagovailoa-to-Tyreek Hill magic to make that happen. With the Dolphins winning the coin toss and gaining the first and would-be lone possession of overtime, Smith first caught a short pass from Tagovailoa and turned it into a 20-yard gain to the 50. Miami followed with basically the same play on which Smith picked up another 14 yards. Four more plays put the Dolphins at the Jets’ 10, setting up Tagovailoa’s well-timed throw into Smith’s hands for the game-winning score. “I think Jonnu came up and said something to Mike or had to have to get more included and that’s what happened,” Tagovailoa said. “He didn’t say anything during the game. Not seeing the ball can be discouraging. He never blinked and just took advantage of his opportunities.” The Dolphins trailed 23-15 entering the fourth quarter and later 26-23 near the end of regulation. Jason Sanders booted a 52-yard field goal to tie the game with seven seconds remaining to force overtime. Sanders also made a 57-yard field goal earlier in the game and missed an extra point, but went 4 for 4 on field goals for the game. It was the eighth time Tagovailoa has led a fourth quarter comeback in his career and second this season, having also brought Miami back in its season-opening win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was also his 10th game-winning drive overall. Tagovailoa completed 33 of 47 passes for 331 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. “Tua has been playing lights out,” Hill said. “I don’t think he gets enough credit for the things that he does outside of making plays whether it’s getting us lined up right correctly. Me and him had a moment whenever I ran the wrong way he came to tell me exactly how I needed to run it. He’s a great leader for this team. We just gotta follow him and follow his standard.” Reestablishing the Tagovailoa-to-Hill combination late in the game saved Miami’s season. Facing a third-and-10 from their own 40, Tagovailoa found Hill open in a crease in the Jets’ secondary where he made a leaping catch for a first down to New York’s 42. After Miami’s red zone issues seemed to cost them another score, the Dolphins went for it on fourth and goal from the 4. Tagovailoa found Hill just inside the goal line for a touchdown with 9:04 to go. He then connected with Jaylen Waddle for a 2-point conversion to knot the game at 23. “Nobody batted an eye, nobody flinched. We just kept going to work,” Calais Campbell said. “Good team win. Perseverance. Playing together and found a way to win.” Aaron Rodgers nearly derailed the Dolphins’ comeback, however, as he directed an 11-play, 63-yard drive capped by a 42-yard field goal by Anders Carlson. Rodgers completed 27 of 39 passes and finished with a season-best 339 yards passing, one touchdown and no interceptions. Garrett Wilson (114 yards on seven catches) and Davante Adams (109 yards and a touchdown on nine catches) also both finished with 100 or more yards in a game for the first time this season. Just over a week after he had a costly muffed punt in a loss at Green Bay, Malik Washington’s kickoff return to the Dolphins’ 46-yard line set Miami’s game-tying drive at the end of regulation in motion. And so, the Dolphins held serve again, winning one of the games they needed to win against a sub-.500 — albeit AFC East division rival. The win was crucial in that regard with Miami facing likely its toughest opponent remaining on its schedule next Sunday when they travel to Houston to face the 8-5 Texans, who were idle this week. “The players chose to not give up in this game and when you do that and survive adversity, the thing on the other side, that’s the best stuff,” McDaniel said. “In life, easy is way overrated and not usually worth it.” ©2024 Miami Herald.

In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory, Big Tech companies became central hubs of the so-called “resistance” against him, firing up censorship and deplatforming campaigns, culminating in the then-former president’s banishment from Facebook and Twitter after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot. Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Google founder Sergei Brin famously led thousands of employees in protest against Trump’s immigration policies. During the 2020 campaign, Big Tech platforms even censored discussions of the Hunter Biden laptop story in order to curry favor with his father and Trump’s opponent — former Vice President Joe Biden. But since Trump’s reelection in November, Big Tech executives appear to be bending the knee rather than trying to kneecap their former foe. Pichai and Brin, for instance, traveled to Mar-a-Lago to dine with Trump. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos followed suit in getting face time with Trump, the New York Times reported . The month before, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with the former and incoming president at Mar-a-Lago. The knee-bending continued when Meta , Amazon and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman each announced donations to Trump’s inaugural fund within days of one another, further cementing tech’s shift away from the anti-Trump banner. “I do see it as this overt, if not explicit, apology for them meddling in things they ought not be meddling, which is with our democratic elections,” Joel Thayer, a D.C.-based tech and telecom lawyer, told the Daily Caller News Foundation, referring to rampant social media and search engine censorship in the 2020 elections. “And on the other end, they’re acknowledging that the population has shifted,” Thayer said. “The way we think about Trump-like policies is actually fairly good for the American worker and just individuals in general. And you saw that through the popular vote.” Before the recent outpouring of support from the likes of Zuckerberg and Pichai, Elon Musk’s endorsement of Trump proved to be a game-changer. According to former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel, one of Trump’s early backers in 2016, Musk made other tech executives feel “safer” in coming out to support the former president during the campaign. Tech investors David Sacks and Marc Andreesen were among the relative handful of tech world notables who supported Trump in the general election. Andreessen recently told Bari Weiss of The Free Press that the tech moguls’ new embrace of Trump can be boiled down to the Biden Administration’s “anti-capitalist” policies that showed a “seething contempt” for the tech industry. “I don’t think there’s been an administration this radical on economic and tech policy I don’t think in like — ever,” Andreessen said, adding that President Joe Biden’s office has had an “extreme level of anti-business, anti-tech animus.” The Biden-Harris plan to increase taxes on unrealized gains, for example, had the potential to kill small businesses and prevent new tech startups which had historically driven the industry, he argued on Weiss’ Honestly podcast. This move would particularly harm the rapidly-growing AI industry, which is heavily reliant on private innovation. The Biden Administration wanted tight oversight of the sector, placing sweeping restrictions on AI via executive order in 2023, while Trump has vowed to allow the industry to “freely develop.” Andreessen told Weiss he was left “very scared” for the AI industry after meeting with the Biden Administration. “They said, ‘look, AI is a technology basically that the government is going to completely control,'” Andreessen said. “They actually said flat out to us, ‘don’t do AI startups like, don’t fund AI startups, it’s not something that we’re going to allow to happen, they’re not going to be allowed to exist.'” Andreessen was told that the administration was considering classifying all AI science, allowing it only to be developed by the federal government. congrats to President Trump. i wish for his huge success in the job. — Sam Altman (@sama) November 6, 2024 Biden similarly moved to place heavy restrictions on cryptocurrency and advocated for a federally- controlled digital dollar. Not long after Trump was elected, he nominated pro-crypto Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Paul Atkins — cryptocurrency stocks suddenly skyrocketed in response. The Biden Administration has largely targeted Big Tech, slapping Google , Amazon, Meta and Apple with antitrust lawsuits within his single term, aiming to crack down on their market dominance. Amazon previously made no effort to hide its left-leaning bias, removing books from its site that criticized the transgender movement and Covid-19 vaccines . In September it was forced to address an “error” in which Amazon’s Alexa apparently expressed support for Vice President and former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris over Trump. Despite this, Bezos and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy both came out in support of Trump following the election. “Congratulations to President-elect @realDonaldTrump on a hard-fought victory,” Jassy wrote in an X post. “We look forward to working with you and your administration on issues important to our customers, employees, communities, and country.” Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love. — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 6, 2024 “Every company is going to want to just talk to the leaders and see how things are going to shape up and potentially even influence some of those policies,” Thayer said. “I think it’s an acknowledgment that the Overton window has shifted a bit, and it’s shifted in a way that seems to align with Trump-like priorities.” At least some tech companies may be worried about Trump’s trade agenda, Thayer explained. Trump’s proposed tariffs on Chinese goods in particular could have monumental impacts on the tech world. (RELATED: Trump Sends Clear Message To Big Tech With His Pick For Top DOJ Spot) “Apple will probably make a very hard case that it should be exempted from all of these tariffs,” Thayer told the DCNF. “And so I imagine that they are almost certainly trying to beg and plead to fall outside the scope of some of those interactions.” As recently as 2023, Forbes reported that over 95% of Apple products are manufactured in China. Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly asked Trump under his previous administration to take a softer stance on immigration to allow the company to source more foreign tech workers. Cook met with the president-elect earlier this month, according to The New York Times. “Apple and Google in particular are certainly trying to cater to Trump a little more aggressively than other tech companies, mainly because they’re in the hot seat,” Thayer said. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew quickly followed suit and met with the president-elect on Monday at Mar-a-Lago as a ban on the Chinese-owned app looms near, CNN reported . During Trump’s first term in office the then-president deemed the video sharing platform a national security threat and pledged to ban the app unless TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, abandoned ownership and sold it to a U.S. company. Biden has since followed through on the promise, and a ban of the app is set to go into effect in 2025. Despite his position during his first term, Trump has seemingly softened his stance on TikTok, suggesting he may consider ways to reverse the ban . This shift is possibly due to narrowing public support for the ban, especially among young voters, with whom Trump has gained appeal. Trump has also touted his popularity on the platform leading up to the election, jokingly stating in a speech Sunday, “Maybe we got to keep this sucker [TikTok] around for a little while.” For the historically Democrat Silicon Valley, the tides appear to be shifting at least in part due to the policies of the Biden Administration. The tech industry, which has experienced significant growth in recent decades that has been largely driven by private innovation and small startups, may struggle under strict government control, and Trump could be seen as a potential solution to its challenges. “They were very cozy with the Democratic Party for a very long time, and now I think they’re starting to recognize that there’s now an overt majority of folks who just flat out don’t agree with Democratic priorities, and so at the end of the day, they are going to have to come back and talk to the other people in power,” Thayer said.

How Aussie savers are keeping Reserve Bank interest rates high( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) The course brought together participants from 17 Arab states, marking an important milestone in IHL education across the region. It brought together government officials from different ministries (including Ministries of Defense, Foreign Affairs, and Interior) and different Arab NCIHLs, as well as prominent IHL academics and members of Arab national societies. “The main aim of this course is to enhance the understanding of IHL among Arab officials. I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm the determination and commitment of the League of Arab States to make every effort to facilitate this course and ensure its success in spreading and promoting IHL,” said Ambassador Mohamed Al-Amin Weld Akeek, Assistant Secretary-General of the LAS and Head of the Legal Affairs Sector, during the opening session. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first IHL Regional Arabic Course, which was launched in 2004 following a resolution issued by the League of Arab States' Ministers of Justice Council. Since its inception, the course has aimed to enhance understanding of IHL, the legal framework that seeks to protect civilians, prisoners of war, and those not actively engaged in hostilities during armed conflict. “The International humanitarian law emerged with the noble purpose of preserving and safeguarding human life and civilian property during wars and armed conflicts. The national commissions on IHL are one of the most important tools developed by the international community to implement and prevent violations of IHL. They have an important role in both times of peace and war,” said Judge Hossam Sadek, Assistant Minister of Justice for international cooperation and Secretary General of the ENCIHL. The course remains as timely as ever in today's complex global environment. With over 120 armed conflicts raging across the globe, the human toll is shocking, particularly in regions like the Middle East. Conflicts in Gaza, Sudan, and other areas of the region have brought immense suffering, with humanitarian conditions worsening, and civilians bearing the brunt of violence and destruction. As some of these conflicts enter their second decade, it is clear that more decision-makers and experts in IHL are needed to navigate these realities and ensure the protection of human life. During the opening session, Myriam El-Kholy, Deputy Head of the ICRC delegation in Cairo, stressed the urgent need for continued commitment to IHL:“Given the staggering figures of civilians enduring immense suffering as a result of armed conflict, we cannot lower our standards, diminish our ambitions, or relax the benchmarks for humanity. International humanitarian law exists to reduce suffering in conflict. If it is not applied now, in this moment of urgent need, when will it be?” The IHL Regional Arabic Course included expert-led sessions, case studies, and practical discussions on the key principles of IHL, such as the protection of civilians, the conduct of hostilities, new technologies of warfare, IHL and Islamic Law, Protection of missing persons and their families, showcasing the IHL implementation mechanisms as well as having an overview on the international criminal legal system. It allows the opportunity to present the law as it exists, as well as the challenges and gaps that exist and efforts to overcome them. The course, which continues to be a cornerstone of ICRC's efforts in the region to implement and disseminate IHL, highlighted the essential need for more IHL experts in the Arab world, particularly as the region grapples with ongoing and protracted conflicts.
