Medical Technology Stock Decision Diagnostics (OTCBB: DECN) Lead Product Shasta Genstrip Positions for at-home testing of Blood Glucose Market

New York, New York, Point Roberts, WA - November 21, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues an investor alert for Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN) for investors following medical technology stocks . The Company's lead product, Shasta Genstrip, is currently in the FDA approval process for at-home testing of blood glucose, currently estimated at $22.5 Billion Worldwide.

According to MarketResearch.com "There has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes worldwide, which has been exacerbated by the growing obesity problem across the globe. Once thought of as primarily a childhood disease--sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes, now mostly Type 1 diabetes--the obesity crisis linked to the adoption of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate, high-calorie American diet has resulted in skyrocketing rates of diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes, among adults across the world. As such, the global market for blood glucose testing products is undergoing a significant transition driven by the advent of new analytical technologies and developments in diabetes treatment. Although the blood glucose testing segment of the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry is mature, certain segments of the market, such as home testing devices for diabetes management, will exhibit strong growth.”

Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN) GenStrip® Blood Glucose Test Strips
Frequent and accurate testing of blood glucose is essential to the treatment of diabetes. Unfortunately, high costs of testing supplies puts regular monitoring out of reach for many diabetics. GenStrip® Blood Glucose Test Strips make blood glucose testing fast, easy, convenient, and more affordable for anyone living with diabetes. This new diagnostic product is compatible with a family of existing meters provided by the platform manufacturer, but priced significantly (50%) lower. GenStrip is in the final stages of FDA approval.
In March 2012 and then again September 2012 representatives of the company and Shasta Technologies LLC met face-to-face with the FDA to ask questions and respond to FDA comments and to present its case in an effort to complete the FDA review process. Subsequently Shasta Technologies LLC and the company have received and responded to a short series of follow up questions and comments by FDA.

Medical Diagnostic Stock Alert: Decision Diagnostics (OTCBB: DECN) Aims at home testing of blood glucose market with lead product, Shasta Genstrip

New York, New York, Point Roberts, WA - November 19, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, including Medical Diagnostic stocks, issues an investor snapshot for Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN). The Company’s lead product, Shasta Genstrip, is currently in the FDA approval process for at-home testing of blood glucose.

Excerpt from Aug-2012 Quarterly Report
Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN) is the parent company of a nationwide prescription and non-prescription diagnostics and home testing products distribution business. The U.S. FDA, in a manner similar to prescription drugs, regulates diagnostic test kits and at-home patient testing products similarly to the regulation of prescription medicine. However, the products we distribute, for the most part, do not require a doctor's prescription for anything other than insurance benefit compliance. Our business model works well in this regulated environment.
We have also continued to ready the company, subject to receipt of an expected FDA 510(k) approval, to introduce a proprietary diagnostic product, the Shasta Genstrip, for at-home testing of blood glucose, an estimated $22.5 billion worldwide market. Shasta Genstrip will compete directly with one of the largest worldwide platform manufacturer for at-home blood glucose testing, a product currently used daily by over 3 million diabetes afflicted Americans. In anticipation of the introduction of Genstrip, currently in the FDA approval process, we have phased out sales of those brand name products that have been a backbone of our current distribution business but will, in the future, would have us compete directly with our Shasta Genstrip product.
Typically, and except for our Shasta Genstrip product, which is an alternative product, we distribute name brand products manufactured primarily by large U.S. and international pharmaceutical companies. The company directs its marketing efforts to ambulatory and semi-ambulatory older Americans afflicted with diabetes and complications caused by diabetes and old age. The company, originally a medical IT company with proprietary IT product lines, acquired its medical products distribution business in late 2004 through a merger with Phoenix, Arizona based CareGeneration, Inc. We have grown the original CareGeneration business through subsequent acquisitions of private businesses and strategic partnerships with larger private pharmacies.
In March 2012 and then again September 2012 representatives of the company and Shasta Technologies LLC met face-to-face with the FDA to ask questions and respond to FDA comments and to present its case in an effort to complete the FDA review process. Subsequently Shasta Technologies LLC and the company have received and responded to a short series of follow up questions and comments by FDA.

Biotech Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Issuance of Cancer Therapy Patent

SAN DIEGO - October 25, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing selective therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, disclosed today that U.S. Patent number 8,288,172 was issued to the Company by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on October 16th, 2012. The patent entitled "Extracorporeal Removal of Microvesicular Particles," provides Aethlon Medical the exclusive right to remove immune suppressive microvesicular particles, which include but are not limited to exosomes from the circulation of treated patients. A therapy able to inhibit or reduce the presence of cancer-secreted exosomes would address a significant unmet medical need in the effort to combat cancer.

The Aethlon Hemopurifier®, which is a first-in-class medical device to treat Hepatitis C virus (HCV), has also been validated to capture exosomes underlying breast cancer, ovarian cancer, metastatic melanoma, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma during preclinical in vitro studies.
Cancer-secreted exosomes promote tumor progression by inducing apoptosis or 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. The particles also promote angiogenesis (essential for tumor survival and growth), increase tumor aggressiveness, and contribute to anti-cancer drug resistance. Researchers have recently discovered that cancer-secreted exosomes also seed the formation and spread of tumor metastasis.
"The issuance of this patent sets the stage for advancing our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct cancer therapy, and at the same time restricts the market emergence of other extracorporeal strategies to address this vital therapeutic target," stated Jim Joyce, Chairman and CEO at Aethlon Medical.
In addition to granting Aethlon the exclusive right to remove microvesicular particles (including exosomes), the patent describes a method to bind and capture immune suppressive microvesicular particles from blood with a medical filtration device containing single or multiple affinity agents, which can include antibodies, aptamers, beads, lectins, proteins, or other compounds that adhere to microvesicles or exosomes, which are also referred to as epididimosomes, argosomes, exosome-like vesicles, microparticles, promininosomes, prostasomes, dexosomes, texosomes, dex, tex, archeosomes and oncosomes.
