Aphios Corporation is developing a novel Alzheimer's disease therapeutic called APH-1104. Preliminary studies show APH-0703, an analog of APH-1104, improved cognition in an Alzheimer's patient and transgenic mouse models. APH-1104 works by increasing alpha-secretase activity to produce a harmless form of amyloid precursor protein, preventing amyloid plaque buildup. Aphios plans to establish manufacturing and submit an investigational new drug application to the FDA to begin clinical trials of an oral formulation of APH-1104.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Without Medication or OperationBetterBlue
The most significant medical revolution in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) over the past 15 years. No medication and operation. High success rate and without side effect
Background: It is often difficult to predict which newborn with HIE will develop neurological sequlae so there is an urgent need for predictors for adverse neurological outcomes in these infants. Aim of Study: To evaluate the serum levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) protein in newborns with HIE during the first week of life and after 3 and 6 months of follow up to assess its correlation with degree of HIE neurological sequlee. Patients and Methods; This case-control study was conducted on 72 infants; group (1) included 36 full term neonates diagnosed as HIE and group (2)included 36 age and sex matched, infants as a control group, Serum amyloid A by ELIZA technique was measured at post natal age of 1 and 7 days, CT scan was done in justified cases .with follow up at age of 3 and 6 months for neurological sequlee. Results: SAA protein level was elevated in the asphyxiated group in comparison to the control group at day 1 and day 7, SAA level was significantly correlated to the Sarnat scoring system of HIE. SAA level significantly differ on follow up of developmental milestone at age of 3 and 6 months. ROC curve for validity of SAA for severity of HIE at cut off point > 25μg/ml at day 1 and at cut off point > 20 μg/ml at day 7 of HIE diagnosis reported sensitivity 100% and specificity 100% .Conclusion: SAA correlates with the severity of HIE and higher SAA expression is a prognostic marker for morbidity in these infants.

Annovis is believed to be the only company developing a drug for AD, PD and AD-DS that inhibits more than one neurotoxic protein and improves the information highway of the nerve cell, known as axonal transport. When this information flow is impaired, the nerve cell gets sick and dies. The company expects its treatment to improve memory loss and dementia associated with AD and AD-DS, as well as body and brain function in PD. Annovis has an ongoing Phase 2a study in AD patients and plans to commence a second Phase 2a study in PD patients. Learn more at ANVSinfo.com.

� Background: The mechanisms for postoperative nausea and
vomiting are numerous and pathways not well elucidated.
Although many medications have been developed to help
prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting, the search for
better approaches to recovery treatment continues.
� Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effec-
tiveness of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) inhalation for treatment of
postoperative nausea and vomiting for patients who have
general anesthesia for a surgical procedure.
� Method: Participants were recruited from an urban hospital on
the East Coast of the United States. Participants were
assigned to an experimental or control group and IPA inhala-
tion was compared to the standard anti-emetic treatment for
rescue treatment in the immediate postoperative period.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting was rated using a
descriptive ordinal scale.
� Results: The results of this study show IPA to be effective and
that there was no significant difference between the stan-
dard treatment protocol and treatment with IPA. Treatment
with IPA was significantly more cost effective than standard
drug treatment.
� Discussion: Further research is recommended to evaluate the
length of effectiveness, standard dose needed, most effec-
tive mode of inhalation, and factors blocking IPA effective-
ness.
� Key Words: alternative treatment • IPA • nausea • postopera-
tive • vomiting
oday’s healthcare concerns center on decreasing
costs, shortening hospital stays, and facilitating a
quick return to normal activity for patients. Post-operative
nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major concern for
patients having same-day surgery under general anesthesia
as it causes increased complications and delays in dis-
charge from the hospital (Hirsch, 1994).
Approximately one-third of the 11 million patients under-
going outpatient surgery under general anesthesia will
experience significant nausea or emesis in the postopera-
tive period (Claybon, 1994). The mechanisms for PONV
are numerous and the causative pathways not well eluci-
dated. Many factors may play a role in an episode of nau-
sea and vomiting, and despite advances in new drug thera-
pies in minimizing the incidence, no ideal drug has been
found to prevent all the causes of PONV.
Aromatherapy is a relatively new and under-researched
alternative treatment that might hold promise in treating
PONV. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is among several aromas
displaying possible anti-emetic properties. Isopropyl alco-
hol inhalation is a new treatment with only limited inves-
tigations to date (Langevin & Brown, 1997).
Literature Review
Current PONV treatment strategies are based on the
understanding of the vomiting reflex; however, the lack of
well-elucidated pathways in the control of PONV has con-
tributed to the problems with these treatment strategies
and medications. It has been well documented that some
patients are more susceptible to P.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
The average time from diagnosis to death is 4 to 8
years, although it may take 20 years or more for the
disease to run its course
Significant neurological disorder that affects more
than 4.5 million Americans and more than 10 million
people worldwide
Total market of AD drugs in 2005 was over $2.7
billion; the market is expected to grow at a rate of
17.5% per year
The 4 FDA-approved drugs (e.g. Aricept, a cholinesterase inhibitor) only treat the symptoms, not the
underlying disease; currently, there is no cure for AD

Novel Alzheimer’s Disease Therapeutics
Proteolytic processing of APP leading to extracellular A deposits

clinical trials have been largely unsuccessful
A recent Phase III clinical trial with Semagacestat, a γ-secretase
inhibitor, by Eli Lilly was halted because of accelerated dementia
A recent Phase II clinical trial with a β-secretase inhibitor, LY2886721,
also by Eli Lilly, was halted because of liver toxicity

APH-1104 - Novel AD Therapeutic
APH-1104, an analog of APH-0703, up-regulates
the production of -secretase which cleaves the
amyloid precursor protein APP into a harmless
soluble form sAPP- , which is non-neurotoxic
and limits the formation of amyloid plaques
Both β-secretase and γ-secretase cleave APP to
form an insoluble amyloid plaque (A ) that leads
to tau entanglement
Thus, unlike current strategies which suppress β-secretase and γsecretase to minimize A plaque formation, our strategy involves the
activation of α-secretase leading to beneficial amyloid precursor
processing and prevention of A buildup

Summary
APH-0703, intravenously administered, shows preliminary efficacy in
an Alzheimer’s Disease patient (n=1 study)
APH-0703 is a potent activator of -secretase which cleaves APP to
form the soluble s-APP which is harmless, supports the formation
of synapses, and can be removed in neuronal fluids
Nanoencapsulated APH-0703 significantly increases that activity of
native APH-0703 in -secretase and PKC in vitro assays
APH-0703 continues to stimulate -secretase for at least 24h after it
is removed from the cellular environment

Oral APH-0703 in oil and nanoparticle formulations significantly
improve learning and memory retention in the transgenic mouse
model, APP/PS1, of Alzheimer’s disease
These effects are seen within 2 weeks of administration, earlier than
in any previous study
Retention studies indicate that memory improvements persist for at
least 3 weeks following drug washout
