CVAC Systems Inc. and Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System ('VAPAHCS') sign clinical research agreement.TEMECULA, Calif. -- CVAC CVAC Carolina-Virginia Athletic Conference CVAC Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning CVAC Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps (Chappaqua, New York) CVAC Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation Systems Inc. (www.cvacsystems.com) announced today that it has signed a clinical research agreement with Veterans Affairs Veterans Affairs is a term of the business that deals with the relation between a government and its veteran communities, usually administered by the designated government agency. Palo Alto Health Care System ('VAPAHCS') "to investigate and research the clinical applications of CVAC(TM) (Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning) technology." Principal investigator will be Anne L. Friedlander, Ph.D., Associate Director for Education and Evaluation at VAPAHCS's Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center, and a consulting professor for the program in Human Biology The Program in Human Biology is innovative academic program at Stanford University in Palo Alto California. Founded in 1969 by a grant from the Ford Foundation, it is consistently one of the largest and most popular majors at Stanford. at Stanford University. Dr. Friedlander's initial investigations will be intended to provide data on the efficacy of the CVAC process to enhance human performance in young, healthy subjects. In addition, Dr. Friedlander will pursue pilot data and other projects investigating additional potential applications for the CVAC process in varied subject populations. These additional data will be used to calculate the appropriate sample size for further and larger clinical trials. Potential applications of the CVAC process, in addition to enhancing human performance, may include, but are not limited to: recovery from physical exertion; recovery from blood donation; reduction in inflammation and swelling from injury and surgery; improvements in wound healing wound healing Physiology The repair of a wound Steps Inflammation, repair and closure, remodeling, final healing; repair of incisions may be either simple–'clean' wounds with little loss of tissue heal by 'primary intention', or 'dirty' wounds heal by ; and reduction in pain resulting from strain, exertion, trauma, surgery, injury, amputation amputation (ăm'pyətā`shən), removal of all or part of a limb or other body part. Although amputation has been practiced for centuries, the development of sophisticated techniques for treatment and prevention of infection has greatly or aging. "We have experience with more than 30,000 hours of CVAC applied to individuals of various ages and health conditions for the purpose of improving their physical fitness. Therefore, we are very excited to have Dr. Friedlander and her VAPAHCS VAPAHCS Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System team add their scientific observations about CVAC to our clinical experiences," said Allen J.

The CVAC process uses dynamic changes in air pressure that simulate changes in altitude--triggering the high-altitude adaptation response adaptation response See Adaptation, psychology. , which is understood to evoke increases in red blood cell red blood cell: see blood. mass and capillary density. Moreover, the ability of the CVAC process to enhance tissue oxygenation oxygenation /ox·y·gen·a·tion/ (ok?si-je-na´shun) 1. the act or process of adding oxygen. 2. the result of having oxygen added. and removal of toxins from the body suggests that it could benefit individuals who experience the limit of human performance, whether it is a result of athletic exertion, sickness, or the aging process. "Because the availability of oxygen and removal of toxins are fundamental to life itself, we believe that the number of individuals in the United States who might benefit from the CVAC process is more than 100 million," added Ruszkowski. Palo Alto, Calif.-based VAPAHCS is one of the largest medical centers in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Approximately 325,000 veterans reside within VAPAHCS's primary service area, of which more than 80,000 are served by VAPAHCS. CVAC Systems Inc. is headquartered in Temecula, Calif. The Company is privately funded and is currently negotiating a strategic partnership in the physical therapy and rehabilitation sector. The Company seeks to place CVAC instruments at key luminary research sites for the development of performance enhancement and therapeutic health-related applications in several patent-pending applications. For these plans, the Company is seeking a first-round venture/institutional financing.
