September 16 - Biomagnetics Continues Contract Talks With U.S. Government's Premier National Security Research Institution

 

Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP), a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and malaria detection, today announced the Company is in continuing contract negotiations to acquire the rights to Integrated Optical Biosensor System (IBOS) technology developed by one of the U.S. Government’s top national security research institutions. Successful conclusion will allow Biomagnetics Diagnostics to quickly enter the growing market for advanced biosensors capable of detecting and characterizing a broad range of infectious agents in a given sample, including viruses, bacteria and fungi. The Company initially plans to target the malaria and bovine tuberculosis testing markets.

 

“We are very excited about the rapid progress we have made in our negotiations with this U.S. Government laboratory. The team of researchers has developed an innovative approach to pathogen testing and has indicated their strong desire to move this technology into commercial production, commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. “We believe this technology upon commercialization will not only be profitable for Biomagnetics, but will also provide an important tool to the medical, research and anti-bioterrorism communities that can potentially improve and save lives. We look forward to completing our contract negotiations in order to bringing this revolutionary technology to an eager market.”

 

According to the World Health Organization, some 3.2 billion people, or about half the world's population is at risk of malaria transmission in 107 countries and territories worldwide. While there are between 350 million and 500 million new cases of malaria each year, there are very few reliable and field deployable diagnostic tools available. In the case of malaria, early detection substantially improves treatability and survivability. TB (tuberculosis) is the second leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. Bovine TB is a growing problem through out the world with an estimated 1.3 billion cattle at risk. In the United States, where the cattle industry is valued at $60 billion annually, the use of existing diagnostic tests currently add $5.00 to $15.00 on average per head to the cattle industry's costs. Field deployable Integrated Optical Biosensor Systems (IBOS), such those Biomagnetics Diagnostics is planning to soon introduce hold the promise to significantly speed the diagnostic testing process and to meaningfully lower costs and improve lives.

September 19 - Magnum Official News, World's First Light Truck Tires Made with Magnum SRI Revolutionary Custom Compound Pass with Flying Colors Marking First Time in History

 

Magnum D'Or Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: MDOR), a next generation rubber recycling solutions company, releases positive tests results on the World's First Light Truck Tire made from Magnum SRI Next Generation Revolutionary Custom Compound. This has been a truly historic month for the Magnum SRI Operations. We have for some time now been carrying out trials in laboratory scale, converting our activated compound into a "custom compound" tailored for blending with various high end applications. We have now successfully produced the custom compound in full commercial production scale (shown on video #1) using a Banbury mixer at the World Renowned "Malaysia Rubber Research Institute facility in Sungai Buloh" (www.lgm.gov.my). This effectively replicates the production parameters and process flow intended in Magnums Magog facility and subsequently the Colorado facility.

 

The Magnum/SRI custom compound was shipped out to a manufacturer's tire production unit where it was blended (shown on video #2) with their virgin light truck tire compound in several batches both in their Banbury intermix and also post chemical addition on sheeting mill. Throughout the exercise great pains were taken on our part to ensure that the handling of our compound and the resultant composite mix was processed in an identical fashion to their normal production conditions (Production of a normal OEM Light Truck Tire).

 

POSITIVE RESULTS: The composite compound was extruded and applied to the tire assembly process and successfully molded and vulcanized into a full production run of light truck tires (as shown video #3). Along with samples taken from each step of the compounding and manufacturing process the tires were put under the most stringent in-house tests and passed with flying colors matching the original (OEM) tires technical and performance parameters. Samples of the composite compound along with the virgin material were tested again in our own labs and independently at the RRI (World Renowned "Malaysia Rubber Research Institute facility in Sungai Buloh") physical testing labs and reaffirmed that there was no appreciable difference in tensile and abrasion resistance.

 

For official validation the Magnum/SRI light truck tires along with control (original OEM) tires were immediately submitted to the Rubber Research Institutes tire testing lab for a month long battery of tests covering abrasion resistance and destructive tests to complete our lab based due diligence. Even if our tires perform at 90% of the original specs it would be considered an epic achievement as it would be an industry and technological first of great commercial significance (Any result at or above 90% to the original can be considered a fantastic success as it means that we can easily reach 100% by compound adjustment alone).

 

CEO of SRI: In addressing the recent tests, Mr. Gopi Sekhar, CEO of SRI stated "This success has been achieved by thinking out of the box coupled with a great deal of hard work, diligence and a great deal of support from our partnership with Magnum. The support and synergy from our joint venture with Magnum has been invaluable and is helping propel our development efforts towards tangible results geared towards the optimization of the operations in Magog and Colorado." He also added that "this is a truly significant and historic development, as for the first time there is a technology that is going to consume recycled material in value added applications and in volumes that will really make a difference to the annual accumulation of over 2 billion tires.

 

Magnum SRI has progressed and may soon be able to supply raw material compounds in industrial volumes. This is an achievement that Magnum SRI can really be proud of." "What's very positive for Magnum and its Magog and Colorado facilities is that the production output in the form of custom compounds (New Revolutionary Magnum SRI Custom Compounds) would be easily welcomed by manufacturers for value added applications such as retread and high specification automotive components. The fact is Magog and Colorado viability would have several advantages. First, raw material costs can be minimized with direct control on material quality through its 1st stage of process with pure fine dust. Further, this material is then processed through several stages into value added compound which will allow the customers good saving in their raw material costs, while also allowing Magog and Colorado a healthy profit margin. With increased potential consumption in each area of application and a much broader application base, all this adds up to very exciting developments. I have no doubt that once our compounds are readily available to tire manufactures, an explosive growth will follow and would likely lead to a change in business model as the potential volume would make it difficult to address from one or even several units."

September 11 - Access Pharmaceuticals Signs Agreement to Manufacture Its FDA-Approved MuGard in the United States

 

Access Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCBB: ACCP) has entered into an agreement with a leading commercial manufacturer to produce its FDA-approved MuGard for North American distribution. One or more U.S. market seeding studies could begin as early as Q4 2009, the company says.

 

In a comparison of cancer patients receiving standard oral mucositis care with those patients receiving MuGard , MuGard has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of the debilitating side effect of radiation treatment and chemotherapy.

 

Access has contracted with Accupac, Inc. to serve as its commercial manufacturer of MuGard in North America. Accupac manufactures, fills and packages a wide range of consumer commodity, over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) products for the world's largest pharmaceutical and consumer products companies.

 

"Access is moving forward with the development of MuGard in North America," said Jeffrey B. Davis, Access' President & CEO. "Establishing our relationship with Accupac, a leader in liquid contract manufacturing, is critical to our successful commercialization of MuGard. In addition, Access is currently evaluating potential eMarketing partners as well as potential co-promotion or other licensing opportunities."

 

Access intends to use the initial batches of MuGard in connection with one or more market seeding studies to be conducted in the U.S. pursuant to protocols that are currently being developed. Access hopes to finalize these protocols and begin one or more market seeding studies in Q4 2009.

 

MuGard is a novel, ready-to-use mucoadhesive oral wound rinse for the management of oral mucositis. MuGard forms a protective coating over the oral mucosa when swirled gently around the mouth. Up to 80% of all patients receiving radiotherapy and approximately 40% of all chemotherapy patients develop oral mucositis, and almost all patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and those undergoing stem cell transplantation develop symptoms. MuGard is currently being marketed in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Norway and Greece by Access' partner, SpePharm.

 

Updated clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and treatment of mucositis recommend the use of a preventive oral care regimen as part of routine supportive care along with a therapeutic oral care regimen if mucositis develops. The market for the treatment of oral mucositis, expanding to include all patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is estimated to be in excess of $5 billion worldwide.

September 21 - One World Ventures, Inc. Signs Agreement With NuPay to Facilitate Settlement of China Union Pay (CUP) Cards

 

One World Ventures, Inc. (OTC: OWVI) announced the signing of agency agreement with NuPay System (U.S.) Inc. [NuPay] to recruit NuPay settlement bank of China Union Pay (CUP) Cards in Southern California. China Union Pay (CUP) is the issuer of the CUP card, which is found in the pockets over 500 million Chinese people.

Furthermore One World is negotiating to have the right to distribute, install, and facilitate POS terminals to NuPay merchants.

 

According to the World Tourism Organization, China is already ranked among the world's top 10 outbound tourism nations. From 1994 to 2003, the cumulative number of outbound Chinese travelers reached nearly 100 million, with an average annual growth rate of 13.9%. In 2003, the number of Chinese traveling abroad surpassed that of Japan, making it the largest in Asia.

Merchants who have entered into an agreement with One World on the acceptance of international payment cards will in the future be able to offer Chinese tourists this extra payment service. We believe the opportunity to purchases goods and services by CUP card holders will boost revenue as merchants and Banks begin the process. Together with our partner NuPay, this platform opens the doors for US Merchants to take advantage to offer CUP processing to the ever growing influx of Chinese tourists. The CUP card will be included in the acquiring agreements that we solicit to merchants," says Steve Prior, CEO of One World Ventures Inc.
