Biotech Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) To Present at the Exosomes and Microvesicles 2012 Conference

SAN DIEGO - September 25, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), disclosed today that its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce will present at the Exosomes and Microvesicles 2012 conference, which is being hosted by The American Society for Exosomes and Microvesicles. The event will be held at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort in Orlando, Florida and runs from September 29th through October 2nd. Mr. Joyce's presentation is scheduled for 10:10 a.m. on October 2nd and is entitled: Extracorporeal clearance of tumor-secreted exosomes as an adjunct to enhance cancer therapy efficacy. Additional information on the event can be found online at www.exosomesandmicrovesicles.org.
Investorideas.com Newswire
The Aethlon Medical presentation will review the attributes of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® as an adjunct medical device that can be combined with chemo and immunotherapies as a strategy to improve cancer treatment outcomes. The Hemopurifier®, which is a first-in-class device being advanced in Hepatitis C (HCV) care, has also demonstrated the ability to capture cancer-promoting exosomes secreted by tumors. Tumor-secreted exosomes have emerged to become a potentially vital therapeutic target in cancer as researchers have reported these microvesicular particles promote tumor progression by inducing programmed cell death of anti-cancer immune cells. As a result of inhibiting the immune response, exosomes increase the proliferation and spread of many forms of cancer. Researchers have also reported that exosomes seed the spread of metastasis, promote angiogenesis (essential for tumor survival and growth), increase tumor aggressiveness, and contribute to anti-cancer drug resistance.

Biodefense Stock Breaking News: PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) Comments on Department of Homeland Security's Revised Procurement Strategy for BioWatch Generation 3, Phase II

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - September 24, 2012 - (Investorideas.com Newswire) PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) ("PositiveID" or "Company"), an emerging growth company and developer of airborne bio-threat detection systems for America's homeland defense industry as well as advanced technologies for diabetes management and rapid medical testing, today provided an update to its stockholders on its pursuit of BioWatch Generation 3, Phase II. Two weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") revised its procurement strategy for BioWatch Generation 3, Phase II, which now will consist of a two-stage procurement which includes two to three years of testing estimated at $89 million. A draft request for proposal ("RFP") on this effort is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of calendar 2012. PositiveID's patented M-BAND biodetector was developed under a competitive award from the DHS Science & Technology Directorate ("S&T").

The purpose of BioWatch Generation 3, Phase II is to obtain a fully autonomous networked biodetection capability that will be deployed, operated, and sustained, both indoor and outdoor, in selected U.S. BioWatch jurisdictions to continuously monitor the air for agents of biological concern. The original procurement outlined in the draft solicitation released by DHS in August 2011, with an estimated contract value of $3.1 billion, contemplated a single procurement resulting in a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Performance Testing, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E), Detector Production, Deployment, Sustainment and Disposal.
The revised strategy, released by DHS two weeks ago, would consist of a two-stage procurement using a competitive down-selection between stages. Stage 1 would be for Performance Testing of candidate systems and may result in the award of multiple contracts depending on the technical merits of proposals submitted and the availability of funding. Stage 2 would be a separate competition and result in the award of a single contract for LRIP, OT&E, Full Rate Production, Deployment, Sustainment and Disposal. To be considered for the Stage 2 award, a company would need to demonstrate a design maturity and data set equivalent to that of Stage 1 participants.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, stated, "We believe the revised strategy for BioWatch, allowing for performance testing of qualifying systems in preparation for the full roll-out of the $3.1 billion procurement, provides us an opportunity to prove our M-BAND system, the only system of its kind that was demonstrated previously in the field under the DHS S&T BAND Program. Additionally, we continue to have discussions with potential strategic partners to prepare the Company for success in BioWatch Gen-3, Phase II."

Healthcare Stock Breaking News: GreeneStone (OTCBB:GRST) Addresses Eating Disorder Epidemic with Expanded Clinical Staff and Clinic Launch in Autumn 2012

September 21, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation (OTCBB:GRST), provider of Mental Healthcare and Corporate Healthcare Services, today announced the hiring of Ann Kerr as Clinical Director at its new Eating Disorder clinic. In addition to Ms. Kerr, the Company has chosen a psychiatrist medical director, head psychologist, and Chief Clinical Advisor, all of whom will formally be announced once they are under contract. In addition the recently announced new hire, Dr. Mohsina Chaklader, at the company’s ‘ Center of Excellence for Gastroenterology’ will be a valuable resource for the Eating Disorder clinic.

In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are suffering from an eating disorder such as anorexia and bulimia and millions more are struggling with binge eating disorders. While awareness of eating disorders is improving, the public, health care providers and educators frequently have little understanding of eating disorders, how to recognize symptoms and how to communicate with people dealing with eating disorders. Eating disorders are very difficult to treat and can require lifelong treatment. The goal of the Company will be to stay with and support patients throughout their time of need, while striving to achieve sufficient improvement so that in-patient care is reduced and outpatient and ongoing care can begin.
Corporate Healthcare and disability costs are growing steadily higher and effective treatment for those suffering from mental health and mental health related issues will be the solution to reducing those costs. The Company has an increasing number of specialists in the treatment of mental health related disorders. “These are by far the largest component of corporate healthcare costs,” stated Mr. Shawn Leon, CEO. He added, “We see this as the biggest area of growth for the Company and we need to be national in scope.”
Ann Kerr is a Registered Occupational Therapist and holds academic appointments as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, and Lecturer in the Department of Occupational Therapy in the Faculty of Medicine at The University of Toronto. She has worked in the field of mental health for over 30 years and specialized in the care for people affected by eating disorders through work in Inpatient, Day Hospital, community, and private practice settings. Ann was part of the team that built the Inpatient Eating Disorder Program at Toronto General Hospital under Dr. Sid Kennedy, and then the first ever Eating Disorder Day Hospital Program with Drs Allan Kaplan and Niva Piran. Ann accepted the position of the first Program Director of Sheena’s Place, an innovative model of support services for families and people with eating disorders. Ann has been in private practice in Toronto for the past six years honing her psychotherapy skills in the areas of CBT, DBT and Relational Therapy.
Ann was trained at The University of Toronto and has ongoing education through Harvard Medical School of Continuing Education and the Jean Baker Miller Centre at Wellesley College. She has supervised students in most health professions and been awarded the Northrop Frye teaching award for medical student education. Ann was on the Board of the Transitional College of Occupational Therapists and is a Member of the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and the Ontario Association of Occupational Therapists. She is a member of the Academy of Eating Disorders, an international body of eating disorder clinicians and researchers. Ann has written research articles and chapters in books on the treatment of people with eating disorders as well as having spoken at numerous conferences in Canada and the USA. She has appeared frequently on television, radio and in newspapers and magazines commenting on current issues in the culture that relate to this issue.
Limited operations at the Eating Disorder clinic are set to begin in late October, with full service operations intended to commence in early 2013. The primary mission of the clinic will be to treat anorexia and bulimia through a combination of services, including in-patient care, intensive outpatient care, ongoing support, after-care and counseling. The company plans to offer the very best in care and hopes to earn a reputation for the best care available in the country.
