CVBT Announces Positive Results for Diabetic Wound Healing in Pre-Clinical Animal Studies.HENDERSON, Nev. -- CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :CVBT CVBT Cardiovascular Biotherapeutics, Inc CVBT Central Virginia Battlefields Trust (Fredericksburg, VA Civil War history organization) ) announced today that its pre-clinical animal studies showed positive results for its drug candidate Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM) for 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 in diabetic mice. Dr. Jack Jacobs This article is about "Indian" Jack Jacobs. For the U.S. Army Medal of Honor recipient, see Jack H. Jacobs. "Indian" Jack Jacobs (August 7, 1919 - January 12, 1974) was a legendary Canadian Football League quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1950-1954), winning the , Chief Scientific Officer of CVBT, stated, "The data we have obtained from our pre-clinical animal studies in diabetic mice showed our drug candidate Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM) materially improved the healing rate of open wounds in diabetic mice as compared to the control groups. At defined times, up to a six-fold increase in the healing rate was observed. These statistically significant results are very encouraging and support my hope that this drug candidate could improve the lives of millions of diabetics and elderly people." The market for wound healing includes diabetic, bedridden bed·rid·den or bed·rid adj. Confined to bed because of illness or infirmity. and elderly patients that suffer from wounds, open sores and diabetic ulcers. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the US Healthcare Finance Administration, approximately 2.5 to 3.0 million patients a year suffer from these maladies. Annual treatment costs in the United States alone are in the range of $5-7 Billion. The President of CVBT, Mr. Daniel C. Montano commented, "I believe wound healing will play a major part in CVBT's future. For millions of Americans and Europeans, open sores for the elderly, diabetic leg sores and bedsores Bedsores Definition Bedsores are also called decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers, or pressure sores. These tender or inflamed patches develop when skin covering a weight-bearing part of the body is squeezed between bone and another body part, or a bed, are serious medical issues. If the pre-clinical results we have obtained in animals remain constant in humans, I believe our protein drug candidate could reduce pain and suffering for these people, and dramatically lower the cost of treating diabetics and the elderly." Thomas J. Stegmann, M.D., a Professor, Cardiovascular Surgeon, Chief Clinical Officer of CVBT, and discoverer of the protein drug candidate for growing new blood vessels Blood vessels Tubular channels for blood transport, of which there are three principal types: arteries, capillaries, and veins. Only the larger arteries and veins in the body bear distinct names. in the human heart explained, "A medical doctor knows a wound cannot heal without sufficient blood perfusion Blood perfusion A physiological term that refers to the process of nutritive delivery of arterial blood to a capillary bed in the biological tissue. Mentioned in: Interstitial Microwave Thermal Therapy to the damaged tissue, so it is logical that our protein drug's ability to trigger the growth of new blood vessels in the damaged skin should accelerate the healing process." Mr. Montano further remarked, "Growth of new blood vessels for treatment of Coronary Heart Disease coronary heart disease: see coronary artery disease. coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease Progressive reduction of blood supply to the heart muscle due to narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery (see atherosclerosis). has been established in human clinical trials using our drug candidate Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM). We recently announced that Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM) yielded positive evidence in pre-clinical animal studies for minimizing the Stroke-Affected Area in the Brain compared to control groups. It is exciting to now report that Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM) has been successful in the healing and accelerated closing of Diabetic Wounds in pre-clinical animal studies compared to control groups. CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. is committed to moving forward with additional clinical trials to establish the positive affect of our drug candidate aimed at improving the quality of life for those suffering from Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetic Wounds, and pledges to continue exploration for additional applications of Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM)."
