Data on Navidea’s AZD4694 Presented by the Banner Institute at the 6th Annual Human Amyloid Imaging Meeting (HAI)

DUBLIN, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: NAVB) today announced that the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, Phoenix, AZ, made two presentations of results from an AstraZeneca-sponsored study on the assessment of Navidea’s late-stage radiopharmaceutical imaging candidate, AZD4694, at the 6th Annual Human Amyloid Imaging Meeting (HAI), in Miami, FL. In December 2011, Navidea in-licensed the worldwide exclusive rights to AZD4694 from AstraZeneca, now being developed by Navidea as a radiopharmaceutical agent for the detection of cerebral amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.

“[18F] AZD4694 PET in the Assessment of Fibrillar Amyloid–β Deposition: Performance Characteristics”

the two poster presentations, titled, “[18F] AZD4694 PET Quantification for the Assessment of Fibrillar Amyloid–β Deposition” and “[18F] AZD4694 PET in the Assessment of Fibrillar Amyloid–β Deposition: Performance Characteristics,” provide additional evidence that [18F] AZD4694 offers promise in the assessment of fibrillar Amyloid–β (Aβ) deposition. Fibrillar Amyloid–β PET ligands may provide useful tools in the scientific study, early detection, tracking and differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and the evaluation of Aβ-modifying treatments.

the findings in this study indicate that [18F] AZD4694 PET in the assessment of fibrillar Aβ deposition in Alzheimer’s disease is feasible and relatively straightforward with common analysis methodologies.

“We look forward to conducting additional studies to assess the safety and efficacy of this imaging agent as a potentially effective tool to aid the diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating disease that is reaching high levels in the United States and around the world,” said Jessica Langbaum, staff scientist at the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute.

the Banner Institute presentations at HAI described the use of [18F] AZD4694 in the examination of fibrillar Aβ burden as an aid in the diagnosis of AD. the objective of the first part of the Banner study was to determine an analysis setting for examining the differential fibrillar Aβ burden in three different groups: i) subjects with mild Alzheimer’s dementia (n=8), ii) elderly healthy controls (oHC)(n=9), and iii) young normal controls who were not carriers of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 (yNC)(n=4). Results indicate that individual images and the ability to distinguish between subject groups undergoing evaluation with AZD4694 were roughly comparable using two evaluation methods, Distribution Volume Ratio (Logan method and simplified Logan method) and Standard Uptake Ratio, used during various scan intervals, different cerebellar reference regions, and pre-injection versus post-emission transmission scans.

In addition, differences between groups in the AZD4694 PET measurements were seen:

the 8 AD subjects had higher signals than the 9 oHC subjects presumably due to their higher amyloid level; the 8 AD subjects also had higher signals that the 4 yNC subjects; and the 9 oHC subjects had higher signals than the 4 yNC subjects.

the second part of the study used [18F] AZD4694 to characterize fibrillar Aβ burden in subjects with probable mild Alzheimer’s disease (n=8, 4 APOE ε4 carriers and 4 non-carriers), healthy elderly control subjects (n=9, 5 APOE ε4 carriers and 4 non-carriers) and healthy younger controls (n=5, all APOE ε4 non-carriers). the study objective was to assess group differences in fibrillar Aβ, effect of apolipoprotein E (APO) ε4, and test-retest reliability (assessed using a second scan of AD and yNC subjects) of [18F] AZD4694. the results indicate that AZD4694 demonstrated rapid equilibrium and favorable Central Nervous system uptake/distribution, a relatively high specific signal-to-white matter background binding thus permitting reader-friendly images, the ability to distinguish between the participant groups, and high test-retest reliability as assessed in 3 AD and 4 yNC subjects.

While Navidea undertakes arrangements to commence its Phase III clinical program in early 2013, a number of additional ongoing and planned studies to build the requisite safety and training database will provide further information on AZD4694 during this year.

About Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease which affects a person’s memory and ability to learn, reason, communicate and carry out daily activities. Increasing age is the greatest risk factor for AD and there is no prevention or cure. the World Health Organization estimates that Alzheimer’s disease affects over 24,000,000 people worldwide. currently in the U.S. alone, there are over 5 million Alzheimer’s patients with estimates that by 2050, as many as 16 million Americans could have the disease according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Among the brain changes believed to contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s are the accumulation of the protein beta-amyloid outside nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and the accumulation of the protein tau inside neurons. Approximately 75 to 100 experimental therapies aimed at diagnosing, slowing or stopping the progression of Alzheimer’s are now in human clinical trials.

About AZD4694

AZD4694 is a Fluorine-18 labeled precision radiopharmaceutical candidate for use in the imaging and evaluation of patients with signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment such as AD. It binds to Beta-amyloid deposits in the brain that can then be imaged in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Amyloid plaque pathology is a required feature of AD diagnosis and the presence of amyloid pathology is a supportive feature for diagnosis of probable AD. Patients who are negative for amyloid pathology do not have AD.

About Navidea Biopharmaceuticals

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: NAVB) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of precision diagnostics and radiopharmaceutical agents. Navidea is actively developing three radiopharmaceutical agent platforms – Lymphoseek®, AZD4694 and RIGScanTM – to help identify the presence and status of undetected disease and enable better diagnostic accuracy, clinical decision-making and ultimately patient care. Navidea’s strategy is to deliver superior growth and shareholder return by bringing to market novel radiopharmaceutical agents and advancing the Company’s pipeline through selective acquisitions, global partnering and commercialization efforts.

The Seven Essential "Stations" Every Home Should Have

When organizing our clients’ homes, we teach people there are some common “stations” that virtually every home should have. Here are the seven that we feel are most important:

1. Destination Station – This station belongs where you come in and out of the house. It’s where you put all of your things down when you come in, such as purses, keys, and backpacks. We often drill a hole in the back of a drawer and run a power cord through the back of it for cell phone chargers. You can use simple shelving, you can convert an existing coat closet, or you can use a piece of “mud room” or entryway furniture like this one shown from Pottery Barn.

2. Communication Station – This station is for the family calendar, messages, mail, and other communications that help the house run smoothly. One thing that we encourage is having a Family Binder that will contain all of the frequently-used information such as contacts, medical records, school handouts and lists, and sports team rosters and schedules.

3. Donation Station – every home should have a designated place to collect items for donation, and when it’s full, the items can be taken to your favorite charity drop-off location. It’s also helpful to keep a clipboard here for listing the items you add to the pile, so that when it’s tax time, you will be better able to value your donations.

4. Gift and Shipping Station – You may not have a permanent station set up for this one, but at least gather all of these items together in a bin or drawer for easy retrieval when you need them. You should have gift wrap, scissors, tape, and all of the other items needed for wrapping and mailing.

5. Education Station – This station is the homework and reference area, mostly for the kids. You’ll need a comfortable flat surface, preferably a desk, where the kids can do their work. There should be good lighting, good chairs, plenty of office supplies, paper, a dictionary, a thesaurus, and probably a computer in this area. And don’t forget peace and quiet!

6. Creation Station – Homes with children and/or other artists need to have a place to paint, draw, sew, or pursue other creative outlets. Craft and art supplies can be stored here, nearby an available surface to work with plenty of light. like the Gift & Shipping Station, you may not have this station set up permanently. We like using rolling plastic drawer carts for a mobile version of this station that fits easily in a coat closet.

7. Administration Station – Also known as the home office, this station is where the bills get paid, forms get filled out, medical claims are filed, and phone calls are made. Here you’ll need a desk, storage for all office supplies, a computer and printer, a filing cabinet and filing supplies, and a comfortable, functional chair. This station is where all of your basic office systems are centralized.

Prolexic Issues Dirt Jumper Threat Advisory and Releases Free Security Scanner


Hollywood, Florida USA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services, today announced it has issued a threat advisory for Dirt Jumper, a high-risk DDoS toolkit that can be used to launch application layer attacks on web sites. Prolexic has also developed a security-scanning tool that can be used to detect Dirt Jumper command and control servers. The threat advisory and scanner can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.prolexic.com/threatadvisories

 

Dirt Jumper is a prepackaged toolkit that has evolved from the Russkill strain of malware. It is now widely available on various underground websites and retails for as little as US$ 150. Dirt Jumper can be spread via spam, exploit kits, fake downloads and can be pushed out to machines already infected with other forms of malware.

 

The Dirt Jumper DDoS toolkit is currently one of the most aggressive malware strains used by DDoS attackers globally, said Neal Quinn, vice president of operations at Prolexic. Increasingly, we are seeing this tool used against clients worldwide and it is likely to become more widespread and effective as distribution spreads.

 

After analyzing the Dirt Jumper v3 DDoS Toolkit, the Prolexic Security Engineering and Response Team (PLXSERT) categorized it as a high-risk threat. The Prolexic team identified the newest variant, known as Dirt Jumper September and uncovered that it had updated functionalities as well as an enhanced control panel, which makes it simple for attackers to use. Prolexics Dirt Jumper Threat Advisory provides an analysis of the payload and also gives a detailed breakdown of attack signatures by attack type, as well as information on remediation and recommended mitigation strategies.

 

PLXSERT has also written a custom-scanning tool called Dirt Dozer (dirtdozer.py) that enables security research teams and engineers to validate if any suspected HTTP command and control servers utilize any strains of the malware. As a public service to business enterprises and organizations worldwide, Prolexics Dirt Dozer scanner is being made available free of charge and can be downloaded from http://www.prolexic.com/threatadvisories

 

Prolexic Threat Advisories

 

Prolexic recently launched a service that provides its subscribers with regular Threat Advisories. Compiled by the Prolexic Security Engineering and Response Team (PLXSERT), on-going advisories will help subscribers stay informed and vigilant so they can make better, proactive decisions.

 

Designed to provide early warnings of new or modified DDoS attack signatures and scripts recently observed by PLXSERT, each Threat Advisory contains a detailed description of the type of attack, a list of attack signatures, and the specific network infrastructure or application that it targets. In addition, Prolexics DDoS mitigation experts also offer insight into the nature of each type of attack, as well as provide specific warnings as to how the attack will affect businesses and enterprises of different sizes and infrastructures. PLXSERT also provides threat remediation tips to help subscribers not only recognize the new attack signatures, but also proactively defend against them.

 

The more our subscribers understand about DDoS attacks, the more they will be able to make informed decisions about DDoS protection and mitigation strategies, said Paul Sop, chief technology officer at Prolexic. As the industrys premium provider, Prolexic is ideally positioned to provide this unique level of insight and intelligence to our customers.

 

New Threat Advisories will be distributed to subscribers via email and will also be posted on the Prolexic Portal, a password protected, subscriber-only resource.

 

About the Prolexic Security Engineering & Response Team (PLXSERT)

 

PLXSERT monitors malicious cyber threats globally and analyzes DDoS attacks using proprietary techniques and equipment. Through data forensics and post attack analysis, PLXSERT is able to build a global view of DDoS attacks, which is shared with customers. By identifying the sources and associated attributes of individual attacks, the PLXSERT team helps organizations adopt best practices and make more informed, proactive decisions about DDoS threats.

 

About Prolexic

 

Prolexic is the worlds largest, most trusted Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation provider. Able to absorb the largest and most complex attacks ever launched, Prolexic restores mission critical Internet facing infrastructures for global enterprises and government agencies within minutes. Six of the worlds ten largest banks and the leading companies in e-Commerce, payment processing, travel/hospitality, gaming and other at-risk industries rely on Prolexic to protect their businesses.

eDoctor, Inc., an innovative provider of Health IT solutions, now offers a Meaningful Use-certified Ambulatory EMR through the Open Source OpenEMR project. A state-of-the-art Web-based software system, the eDoctor OpenEMR is a comprehensive Health IT package providing numerous features including practice management, clinical management, and electronic billing. Integrated within the eDoctor OpenEMR are our certified NewCrop-powered e-Prescribing, the iON Laboratory Order and Entry System, and our new Patient Appointment and Management System- all designed to streamline office workflow, increase physician and patient satisfaction, and earn Medicare incentives.

We know how busy doctors are, said Se Kang, eDoctors President. We wanted to offer a system that could do everything for our clients within one convenient account- with an affordable cost and a clear data ownership policy.

The OpenEMR 4.1 is a ONC-ATB Ambulatory EMR certified for 2011-2012 Meaningful Use requirements. A multi-platform EMR, the OpenEMR 4.1 was originally developed by a team of physicians and programmers through the nonprofit OpenSource EMR foundation. The software is easily customizable, multilingual, and multi-facility capable- ideal for both smaller practices and larger clinics. Noted for its simplicity and ease of use, the OpenEMR is an excellent choice for practices transitioning from a paper-based to an electronic office. Use of the OpenEMR qualifies practices for Medicare Meaningful Use incentives totalling $ 44,000 over the next few years.

eDoctors training services and integration of the OpenEMR provide additional features to boost office efficiency and patient satisfaction. Included with our OpenEMR is our Surescripts-certified NewCrop e-Prescribing solution, through an exclusive partnership with NewCrop, and the iON Laboratory Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System, an exceptional patient laboratory results software powered by Atlas. The iON CPOE System provides access to online ordering and reporting, unifying patient results from participating labs onto one efficient and easily accessible page. Also built into the eDoctor OpenEMR is our new Patient Appointment and Management System, a unique Web-based portal which allows patients to search for doctors and book appointments online- increasing practice exposure and patient convenience while reducing empty appointment slots.

Unlike other EMR providers, eDoctor believes that the ownership of all gathered patient data belongs to the clinicians entrusted by the patient to manage their health records. eDoctor will not sell or use this entrusted data. In the spirit of the Open Source community, eDoctor will not charge for the OpenEMR platform; the only charge is for the implementation, setup, configuration, training, support, and maintenance of clients OpenEMR platform. Each OpenEMR is owned by the client, protecting them from future uncertainties that come with most EMR vendor solutions.
