TORONTO – October 14, 2026 -- Patients treated with whole-gland TULSA were more than twice as likely to preserve both erectile function and pad-free continence at six months as those who had robotic radical prostatectomy (risk ratio 2.1; p=0.004), according to CAPTAIN trial data. Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) presented the results among five abstracts at the 15th Interventional MRI Symposium in Boston.

Carnyx's CNYX-005 Adds 1.5-2 Hours of Sleep in Aged Rat Study

Indianapolis – October 14, 2026 -- Carnyx Therapeutics Ltd. unveiled CNYX-005, an oral sleep candidate that increased total sleep time by roughly 1.5 to 2 hours in aged rats versus a control arm, as the preclinical-stage company moves toward clinical development.

The increase was driven primarily by more non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Researchers measured sleep architecture using continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring.

Carnyx hires Chris Brearley, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer ahead of clinical entry

Brearley brings more than 30 years of experience in translational medicine, clinical pharmacology and early-stage drug development. His prior roles include senior positions at Pfizer, Amgen and Serono. He has designed and overseen first-in-human and early-stage clinical studies, the stage CNYX-005 now approaches.

Brearley said he aims to translate the findings into a rigorous clinical development program.

Thomson Reuters Adds 100-Country Research to CoCounsel Legal

Toronto – October 14, 2026 -- Thomson Reuters is rolling out the next generation of CoCounsel Legal to customers in more than 90 countries and territories through 2026. The upgrade adds a Multinational Profile that pulls legal content from more than 100 countries and territories into a single research workflow.

Multinational Profile keeps cross-border research inside one platform

Until now, lawyers researching a cross-border question had to leave CoCounsel Legal and reconcile information from several jurisdictions and sources. Thomson Reuters says the new profile removes that step. Teams can research legal requirements across countries, compare key differences, flag issues that may need local advice, and trace each finding to its underlying source.

Caliber launches OneView plain-English search for police RMS

North Little Rock – October 14, 2026 -- Caliber Public Safety has launched Caliber OneView, an add-on for Caliber Online RMS that lets officers search and cross-reference agency records with plain-English questions, cutting tasks such as monthly command reports from up to a week to an instant, built-in process.

OneView replaces separate screen searches with a single cross-referenced query

Law enforcement users currently search separate screens for people, vehicles, citations and incidents. OneView runs that cross-referencing automatically. An officer can, for example, find a subject using a physical description plus a pre-set tag such as a firearm on file, narrowing thousands of records and surfacing links between people, vehicles and addresses.
