Bluestem Group Inc

Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STIM#NASDAQ">STIM</a>), a medical technology company focused on designing, developing, and marketing products that improve the quality of life for patients who suffer from neurohealth disorders, announced that additional payors have updated their TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) coverage to reduce access barriers for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Effective immediately, BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of North Carolina has expanded its TMS policy to cover adolescents 15 years and older, based on <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=qOjmrE7PDpP0iP9SeWY9op5d18oOTSBdwoHIgNjWAn9BzTHKJw9PTdysQO-eW_OwlcEPZmltrdKKK9KXWOYbH0guJe1aSPys58MhR2z9MpsyUuVQf30nDJt9tcdg63BOk1ofdy5n2Zww3OInMUpL_Y8tJjvwaSiZUMT9EOfhJsrKFd1MjahDQJshs_0Kj9s0Pqw_JG1TwBnpdISbSaL68ADhCfPeFL9ulYxPYeNG2OU=">recent clearance</a> from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NeuroStar as the first and only TMS treatment authorized for this population.

("RenovoRx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNXT#NASDAQ">RNXT</a>), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel precision oncology therapies based on a local drug-delivery platform, today announced that Ripal Gandhi, M.D., FSIR, FSVM will present at the Symposium on Clinical Interventional Oncology ("CIO") which is being held September 20-22, 2024, at the Loews Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. Dr. Gandhi's presentation will highlight RenovoRx's TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) therapy platform for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer ("LAPC") and recent publications of clinical data.
Dr. Gandhi, professor of Interventional Radiology at the Miami Cancer Institute and Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, is a Course Director for the Symposium on CIO. Since 2018, Dr. Gandhi has been instrumental as a principal investigator for the Miami Cancer Institute in RenovoRx's pivotal ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial in LAPC.
Dr. Gandhi's presentation will&nbsp;provide an overview of the clinical challenges of the standard of care treatment available to LAPC patients. Systemic (intravenous) chemotherapy, while considered the standard-of-care for LAPC, is often associated with debilitating side effects, and may have limited effectiveness in treating this type of cancer due to tumors lacking dedicated blood vessels critical for delivering chemotherapy. Dr. Gandhi will highlight the TAMP therapy platform and the opportunity it may give to LAPC patients as a potential targeted oncology option for treatment.
Dr. Gandhi will also discuss the status of the Company's ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC study, which is evaluating the use of the TAMP therapy platform with gemcitabine HCl in patients with LAPC. Additionally, he will review a recent publication in the international peer-reviewed journal, The Oncologist&#xAE;, of early-stage clinical data on the intra-arterial administration of gemcitabine HCl utilizing the TAMP including Phase I/II dose escalation safety study (RR1) and acquired data from a post-marketing post-treatment observational registry study (RR2).

Lennar Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Oracle Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) CloudWorld in Las Vegas had no shortage of artificial intelligence (AI) buzz, but investors hoping for a quick windfall might need <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ORCL/news">to temper expectations</a>.
JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang, who attended the event, noted that while Oracle's multi-cloud advancements are laying the groundwork for the future, the immediate impact on revenues is still uncertain.
"We saw numerous examples of high-value AI-driven tech services," Huang stated, highlighting the long-term potential of AI in transforming enterprise workflows. 
However, he remains cautious about the near-term outlook, adding, "Near-term demand improvement remains elusive," despite growing client interest in AI.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oracle Makes A Big Move</h2>
Oracle's big move at CloudWorld was its announcement of Oracle Database (ODB) on AWS, building on similar launches with Microsoft Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud.
This multi-cloud push, Huang believes, is a critical strategy for companies looking to "maximize the value of GenAI" by optimizing data across different platforms.

Here&#8217;s How His Fortune Outpaced Amazon&#8217;s Founder</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Yet To See Material Revenue Momentum</h2>
Yet, the short-term demand for tech services in AI remains lukewarm. "We did not sense that any have achieved material revenue momentum in the category," Huang observed, signaling that while enterprise clients are interested in AI, the financial payoff might still be a few quarters away.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accenture: A Secular Winner</h2>
Long-term, Huang is optimistic about Oracle and its tech services partners, particularly Accenture PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>), which he sees "as a secular winner" in helping companies customize and optimize generative AI solutions for business processes.
As companies transition to a more interoperable, multi-cloud environment, the opportunities for AI and tech services will grow, but patience is key.
For now, investors should keep their eyes on the big picture, as the immediate AI windfall for Oracle might take some time to materialize.

Ahead of the 2024 election, Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey are set to host a virtual event aimed at rallying support in key battleground states.
What Happened: Harris and Winfrey will join forces for an online event on Thursday aimed at rallying support in key battleground states, according to Reuters on Thursday.
The &#8220;Unite for America&#8221; event, co-hosted by Winfrey and the activist group &#8220;Win with Black Women,&#8221; seeks to register voters and bolster Harris&#8217;s campaign in states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan. The event will be live-streamed at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT) on social media platforms including Instagram and TikTok.
On the same day, Donald Trump will attend a Washington event on fighting antisemitism and address the Israeli-American Council Summit.
Harris has been campaigning in Michigan, specifically in the Detroit area, local press reported. Numerous grassroots organizations, such as &#8220;Latinas for Harris,&#8221; &#8220;Win With Black Men,&#8221; and &#8220;Republicans for Harris,&#8221; are participating in the event. Win with Black Women focuses on helping Black women win elected offices.
Since Harris entered the race in July, these groups have raised over $20 million for her campaign, according to a press release from Unite for America. Winfrey emphasized the importance of voter motivation and planning in a statement.

According to a recent Reuters poll, Harris leads her Republican opponent Donald Trump 47% to 42%. Harris is ahead in battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Trump has more support in Georgia.
Why It Matters: Harris&#8217;s campaign has seen significant momentum recently. A recent survey of fund managers, strategists, and economists revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913930/kamala-harris-moves-from-13-point-deficit-to-7-point-lead-over-trump-in-survey-of-fund-managers-stra">Harris had moved from a 13-point deficit</a> to a 7-point lead over Trump. The survey, conducted by CNBC, showed Harris as the likely winner of the November election, with 48% support compared to Trump&#8217;s 41%. This shift in support came after Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket in July.
Additionally, Harris received a rare endorsement from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40907893/kamala-harris-wins-second-endorsement-in-179-years-from-magazine-that-featured-works-from-nikola">oldest continuously published magazine </a>in the U.S., which has featured works from notable figures like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein. This endorsement is significant given the tight contest between Harris and Trump. 
Moreover, pop star Taylor Swift&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40824581/taylor-swifts-endorsement-of-kamala-harris-drives-over-330k-visitors-to-vote-gov">endorsement of Harris</a> drove over 330,000 visitors to vote.gov, highlighting the impact of celebrity endorsements on voter engagement. This surge occurred less than 24 hours after Swift&#8217;s endorsement following the debate between Harris and Trump.
