The report details the landmark use of the Hemopurifier(TM) in a human infectious disease Infectious disease A pathological condition spread among biological species. Infectious diseases, although varied in their effects, are always associated with viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites and aberrant proteins known as prions. study conducted at the Apollo Hospital in Delhi, India. The Hemopurifier(TM) is a first-in-class device designed to fill the void in treating drug and vaccine resistant pathogens. The report is available online at: www.aethlonmedical.com/pdfs/ApolloHospitalSafetyStudy.pdf "The Apollo study advances our mission to establish the industry for medical devices to treat infectious disease," stated Aethlon Chairman & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. James A. Joyce. "The study also triggers our regulatory endeavors in the United States and sets the stage for us to expand efforts to treat multiple disease targets in India," concluded Joyce. The report details clinical data collected during a study sponsored by Aethlon Medical to demonstrate the safety of the Hemopurifier(TM) in health-compromised humans. The study also provided an opportunity to observe the capture of Hepatitis-C virus ("HCV HCV abbr. hepatitis C virus HCV 1 Hepatitis C virus, see there 2. Human coronavirus. See Coronavirus. ") from HCV infected end stage renal disease Renal disease Kidney disease. Mentioned in: Glycogen Storage Diseases hypertension High blood pressure Cardiovascular disease An abnormal ↑ systemic arterial pressure, corresponding to a systolic BP of > 160 mm Hg ("ESRD ESRD end-stage renal disease. ESRD End-stage renal disease; chronic or permanent kidney failure. Mentioned in: Dialysis, Kidney ESRD End-stage renal disease, see there ") study subjects undergoing intermittent dialysis. In tested cartridges, up to 52% of pre-treatment viral load was captured during a single treatment with the Hemopurifier(TM). Twenty-four Hemopurifier cartridges were tested on four study subjects suffering from ESRD and HCV infection. Each cartridge purified the blood of study subjects for up to four hours in six sequential treatments per patient every two to three days. All enrolled patients completed the entire treatment regimen. About Aethlon Medical Aethlon Medical is developing the first-in-class medical device to treat infectious disease. The device, known as the Hemopurifier(TM), is a broad-spectrum treatment countermeasure against drug and vaccine resistant bioweapons, naturally evolving pandemic pandemic /pan·dem·ic/ (pan-dem´ik) 1. a widespread epidemic of a disease. 2. widely epidemic. pan·dem·ic adj.

HIV-1 is responsible for the vast majority of AIDS in the United States. ). Global researcher Frost & Sullivan recently awarded the Hemopurifier(TM) the 2006 Technology Innovation Award for its advances in the field of biodefense. Aethlon has also initiated research on a second generation Hemopurifier(TM) that targets the capture of growth factors inherent in the spread of Cancer.
