Biotech Stock News ; ARCA biopharma (Nasdaq: ABIO ) Announces Patent Issued for Treating Heart Failure Patients with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Testing


Revised Request for FDA Special Protocol Assessment for GencaroTM Development in Genotype-defined Heart Failure Population Submitted

BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(INVESTORIDEAS.COM NEWSWIRE)--ARCA biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABIO ), a biopharmaceutical company developing genetically targeted therapies for heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a patent on methods of treating heart failure patients with bucindolol based on genetic testing. The patent (USP# 7,678,824) entitled “Methods for Treatment with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Targeting,” provides protection in the United States for this novel approach to treating patients with heart failure, one of the largest health care problems in the United States and the rest of the world. ARCA had previously announced the notice of allowance of this patent. Industry sources estimate that approximately 5.7 million Americans have heart failure and nearly 670,000 new patients are diagnosed annually. In addition, heart failure is the underlying reason for approximately 12 to 15 million annual visits to physicians, 6.5 million annual hospital days and over $37 billion in direct and indirect healthcare costs in the United States.



“We are obviously pleased with the USPTO’s issuance of this patent which we believe will extend our pharmacogenetic intellectual property protection around bucindolol and, if approved for marketing, provide Gencaro market exclusivity into 2025,” said Michael R. Bristow, President and Chief Executive Officer of ARCA. “Chronic heart failure continues to be a major health care problem, and among the challenges to improving care is the uncertainty of patient responses to drug treatment. We believe that a new heart failure therapy that includes a simple test to identify a substantial subpopulation of patients more likely to benefit has the potential to help alleviate some of the problems encountered with the current standard of practice.”



On March 25, 2010, ARCA submitted a revised clinical study protocol for review under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process for the design of a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of Gencaro in approximately 3,200 patients with chronic heart failure who have the genotype that appears to respond most favorably to Gencaro. An SPA is an agreement with the FDA that the proposed trial protocol design, clinical endpoints and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval. Any proposed trial protocol must be reviewed and agreed upon with the FDA and the final trial protocol may be significantly different from the Company’s SPA submission. If ARCA obtains sufficient funding and FDA approval of the SPA, ARCA currently expects it could begin the proposed clinical trial approximately one year after such funding and approval. The FDA has previously designated as a Fast Track development program the investigation of Gencaro for the reduction of cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations in a genotype-defined heart failure population.



About GencaroTM



GencaroTM (bucindolol hydrochloride) is a pharmacologically unique beta-blocker and mild vasodilator being developed for the treatment of chronic heart failure (HF). Gencaro is an oral tablet formulation, dosed twice daily. Gencaro is considered part of the beta-blocker class because of its property of blocking beta-1 as well as beta-2 receptors in the heart, preventing these receptors from binding with other molecules that would otherwise activate the receptor. Because of its mild vasodilator effects, the Company believes Gencaro is well-tolerated in patients with advanced HF.



About ARCA biopharma



ARCA biopharma is dedicated to developing genetically-targeted therapies for heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. The Company's lead product candidate, GencaroTM (bucindolol hydrochloride), is an investigational, pharmacologically unique beta-blocker and mild vasodilator being developed for heart failure. ARCA has identified common genetic variations that it believes predict individual patient response to Gencaro, giving it the potential to be the first genetically-targeted heart failure treatment. ARCA is collaborating with Laboratory Corporation of America to develop the companion genetic test for Gencaro.

Valcent Products (OTCBB: VCTZF) VertiCrop high density vertical growth system technology addresses water use



WWW.Water-Stocks.com Discusses Water footprint of Agriculture for World Water Day

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –March 19, 2010 Investorideas.com and its water investor portal, www.Water-Stocks.com, report on the virtual water footprint of agriculture for World Water Day, March 22 .

One company working at providing a partial solution is Valcent Products Inc. (OTCBB: VCTZF), with its VertiCrop high density vertical growth system technology. Chris Bradford, CEO of Valcent Products Inc noted “ World Water Day is becoming increasingly important in creating awareness of severe shortages of potable and useable water in most places in the world. In this regard, Valcent’s two core business plans to market both the Verticrop and Alphacrop is timely in that these high density vertical growing systems save up to 95% of the water used in a field crop to produce the same amount of vegetables. This sustainable water savings is becoming more critical in many drought areas which in turn has an impact on food security as well. “


The overall goal of the World Water Day on 22 March 2010 campaign is to raise the profile of water quality at the political level so that water quality considerations are made alongside those of water quantity. As issues of water quality and water scarcity are addressed; agriculture having one of the greatest impacts on the global water footprint is a primary topic of concern.



According to Thomas M. Kostigen, author of "The Green Blue Book: The Simple Water-Savings Guide to Everything in Your Life", being released on World Water Day, March 22; “It takes about 123 gallons of water to grow a pound of oats, for example. So the virtual water count of this pound of oats is 123 gallons. Now, extend this to a slice of beef. Since cattle have to feed on oats or some other grain and obviously need to drink water themselves, their virtual water count is higher than that of what they chew. It also takes water to process their meat. The virtual water footprint of a pound of beef, therefore, is 1,500 gallons. When you understand that there's a virtual water count to producing everything -- a beer (20 gallons), a glass of wine (30 gallons), a cup of coffee (37 gallons), a cup of tea (5 gallons), a car (39,000 gallons), a bicycle (480 gallons) -- you can make water-smart choices.”

More info on the Green Blue Book: http://www.thegreenbluebook.com/


Mrs. Margaret Catley-Carlson, Chair of the Global Agenda Council on Water Security commenting on WATER PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVOS 2010 reports, “A major new exercise on a Vision for Agriculture attracted most of the world’s elite Food Production people; water was a frequently mentioned, together with (still nascent) ideas on how to support the efforts to use less water yet grow more food.”

Full article: http://www.maximsnews.com/news20100217catleycarlsondavos11002170801.htm



The reason this is such an urgent issue is explained at www.Worldchanging.com, “Global crop production requires more than 6 trillion cubic meters of water each year, with nearly a quarter of supplies flowing to rice paddies. Livestock production requires the most water resources in the food chain. One hamburger, for instance, needs 2,400 liters of water on average.”

Food and health issues were leading topics on both Oprah and the Ellen Show this week.

On Thursday Oprah’s guest feature, The Truth about Food- Food 101 with Michael Pollan, examines what and how North Americans eat. Michael Pollan states “Mass-produced foods also line the shelves of nearly every grocery aisle.”A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food," Michael says. "It's what I call edible, food-like substances."
http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/The-Truth-About-Food-with-Michael-Pollan/2

Ellen DeGeneres featured guest Jonathan Safron Foer discussing “Eating Animals” and how reading his book had impacted viewers to make changes in their eating patterns.
As mainstream media giants like Oprah and Ellen bring attention to health and food issues, North America will start to change how and what it eats, leading to major changes in the food industry.

This trend will create investing opportunities for investors betting on healthy lifestyle and sustainable trends.

WA, Delta B.C., February 18, 2010 (Investorideas.com ) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading investor research portal reports well-known energy expert Karl Miller was recently quoted in ABC News “Wall Street's Power Surge” February 11th article on energy policy and funding.



Wall Street's Power Surge

Energy Plant Tragedy Puts a Light on Banks, Private Equity Funds Pushing into Electricity

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wall-street-power-surge-questions-energy-policy-finance/story?id=9789318
Excerpt:

"Wall Street knows that the core energy infrastructure plays will be in natural gas, expanding pipeline distribution to reach new production fields, and major electricity transmission upgrade projects for the utilities across the U.S.," Miller said. "Wall Street also knows that wind, solar and other clean tech companies and assets will make up only a very minor part of the overall capital commitments necessary to meet the U.S. energy needs."



Mr. Miller is acclaimed for multiple ground breaking market calls and investments, including the U.K switching from a net gas exporter to a net gas importer in 2000, called the California energy crisis in 2001,called the Ethanol and Bio diesel boom and bust in 2007, called the renewable energy boom and bust cycle underway in 2008, and most recently called the revival of natural gas in the United States in 2009.



His article “U.S. Renewable Energy: A Self-Inflicted Crisis in the Making" has become one of the most read articles on the Investor Ideas website.



Mr. Miller is a globally recognized energy executive and institutional investor with a balance of both financial and energy sector expertise. Mr. Miller began his career on Wall Street during the 1980s and has an extensive background in banking, commodities trading and risk management.



Mr. Miller has a long history in the global energy business and has held a variety of executive management positions both within the United States, Europe and Asia. Mr. Miller has bid on over $25 billion in energy related assets during his career.



Mr. Miller has built, restructured and managed energy businesses for major public energy companies on several continents, including PG&E Corporation, Electricite de France, El Paso Energy, Enron Corporation and JPMorgan Chase.



Mr. Miller has recently joined Investor Ideas as a regular contributor for the energy sector. Investors can follow Mr. Miller at:

UNICEF: Severe winter ‘dzud’ pushes most of Mongolia to disaster status

http://www.unicef.org/media/media_52759.html



UNICEF intensifies efforts to reach children in the hardest hit rural areas



ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA 12 February 2010 – In response to weeks of freezing temperatures and heavy snows have left more than half of Mongolia’s 21 provinces in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, UNICEF has mobilized to help children and families, addressing their most urgent humanitarian concerns, including food, fuel for heating and cooking, blankets, and warm clothing.



The Government of Mongolia has declared disaster status in 12 provinces, with a further seven provinces predicted to move to disaster status shortly as temperatures continue to hover around -40 Celsius and further heavy snow is expected.



The children’s agency is working close collaboration with other UN agencies, including UNFPA, FAO and UNDP, with the Government of Mongolia and major NGOs, to gear up a significant humanitarian response and coordinated the response to the challenges of this unfolding emergency.



These winter conditions, known locally as a dzud, are likely to continue beyond April, and the severity of the coming months will determine the unfolding extent of the humanitarian and food security efforts needed.



While the people of Mongolia are used to cold winter conditions, it is the combination of a severe summer drought, where little fodder was generated, and severely cold temperatures that harden heavy snow which have crippled the rural population largely reliant on herding and agriculture.



So far, the dzud has killed more than two million livestock, devastated the livelihoods of families in the agriculture sector, which employs 35 – 40 per cent of the population, and isolated herders and villages from accessing food, fuel and medical care.



In the previous dzud of 2001, not considered as severe as the current one, Mongolia suffered a deepening of poverty and lowered GDP, raised chronic malnutrition levels, and watched a massive influx of the rural population to the peri-urban areas around the capital city of Ulaanbaatar.



The Government has appealed to the local and international community for urgent support to reach the herders with fodder, fuel, medicines, food and warm clothing.



UNICEF has already responded to a call for support from the Ministry of Education for urgent attention to failing heating systems and limited food supplies in 18 school dormitories where children are housed, facing difficulties to return to their families due to the dangerous travel conditions. A convoy to some of the villages in the worst affected areas will shortly deliver food, fuel, blankets, hygiene kits, and boots to vulnerable poor families.



“This is an unfolding emergency, said Rana Flowers, the UNICEF Representative in Mongolia. “Of most recent and most urgent concern is evidence that babies and young children are dying because they cannot access the medical treatment from trained personnel that they need.”



“The UN is acutely aware of the need to reach increasingly isolated populations with fuel and medicines, to get those in need out to trained medical care and to provide hygiene kits to stem the spread of disease, to ensure safe delivery and newborn care and to prevent the deepening of chronic malnutrition in this country.”



Information from the Ministry of Health received today confirms that 9 young children have died in recent days in one province alone. The figures from other provinces are not yet available.



“Vulnerability to disease is heightened for those children living in dormitories and in poor households in villages where the heating is not working, the fuel is insufficient and where food is in short supply. There are over 22,000 children in 265 dormitories in need of urgent assistance, but this number grows every few days as the severe conditions spread across the rest of the country widening the net cast by the disaster,” Flowers said.



As the severity of winter conditions spread across the country, as many as 492 additional dormitories will need assistance with more than 41,078 children in their care. Over the last few days, the Mongolian National Emergency Management agency (NEMA) has indicated that several villages are facing diminishing supplies of fuel for heating and cooking. In some cases, the villages only have enough fuel for three or four more days.



Even in non-emergency times, access to clean water and adequate sanitation are significant areas of concern for Mongolia. Once a thawing begins in the spring, the impact of dead animals and generally poor sanitation practices are predicted to result in a further spread of disease.



UNICEF says it faces a critical need for an additional USD 400,000 for medical supplies, equipment, micronutrients, and hygiene interventions as well as $322,000 to reach the growing number of affected communities with other life saving interventions.



As Mongolia moves into the spring, food security concerns will increase and the response will need to be well coordinated. In addition to the ongoing humanitarian efforts, child protection and psychosocial support will also be needed as families struggle with the overwhelming emotional and psychological impact of their losses and to handle difficult migration to burgeoning peri-urban areas where access to water and sanitation and basic social services will be severely limited.

Senior Energy Industry Executive and Institutional Investor Karl W. Miller Made the Call on Extreme Winter Weather


February 5, 2010

About stocks: CHK, DVN, RRC, APA, APC, OXY, MRO, CVX, WMB, EP, XOM, XTO



Energy Commentary by Karl Miller

http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Karl_Miller/

Mr. Miller "made the market call" and warned the market over the past months that the extreme weather was going to last for the entire first quarter 2010, and tried to get investors to position into natural gas as a defensive measure.


Mr. Miller is not a meteorologist, but he does extensive research on the weather before making a public recommendation or statement about energy matters.



Mr. Miller did his research and made the public call on December 30, 2009 see weblink: www.stockhouse.com/Blogs/ViewDetailedPost.aspx



Mr. Miller posted several follow up warnings and advised investors to position their energy portfolio's accordingly, especially in natural gas. Given the fact we are in middle of the worst winter in 15 years, major market turmoil, with commodity hedge funds rumored to be in liquidity trouble on the street, Mr. Miller reiterates his "Buy Opinion" for U.S. Domestic Natural Gas Producers and sincerely hopes all investors have protected their portfolios accordingly.
