Akers Biosciences  (AKR) [4p/£6.75 million]

Akers Biosciences, a leading designer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic screening and testing products, last week announced that it had secured a first purchase order totalling approximately $3.2 million (£1.9 million) from Pulse Health under the supply agreement announced on 11 April 2011.

Manufacturing will commence immediately from the company's New Jersey facility with the majority of orders expected to be fulfilled during 2011.

The order is to manufacture and supply Revelar breath tubes, which as part of the Revelar free radical assay provides the first rapid, non-invasive way to measure the effectiveness of an antioxidant regimen and adapt accordingly.

Amur Minerals  (AMC) [12.5p/£35.43 million]*

The exploration and development company focused on Far East Russia last week announced its final results for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Over the year, its application for a mining licence covering drilled resources at Kun-Manie, an area 15 kilometres by three kilometres, was submitted. The nickel/copper sulphide project contains three JORC-compliant drilled deposits. Total Russian-approved reserve of 31.7 million tonnes of ore with averages 0.64% nickel and 0.18% copper were reported.

The Russian reserve inventory also contains 3,960 tonnes of cobalt, 189,400 ounces of platinum and 213,800 ounces of palladium. The exploration rights over 950-square-kilometre licence area were extended to December 2012.

Wildcat drilling identified a potential open pit four kilometres from the Maly Krumkon deposit. Trenching confirms that mineralisation could continue along strike towards Maly Krumkon. A geophysical anomaly to the south of Ikenskoe defines an area nearly as large as that of the drilled deposit.

Amur had $3 million of cash in the bank at the year end. Chairman Robert W. Schafer commented: "We made significant progress in 2010 and this has continued into the current year. We have commenced a two-year exploration programme to further extend and define the existing resource at Kun-Manie as we work towards bankable feasibility status."

Ark Therapeutics Group  (AKT) [5.2p/£10.88 million]

UK-listed Ark announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued notices of allowance in respect of two patents for which certain rights have been assigned by Ark to Boehringer Ingelheim.

Heartache - Ischemic Heart Disease - Angina Pectoris, Myocardial ...

Angina is how the heart tells us that not enough oxygen for what is required to do so. This happens when the  coronary arteries (arteries supplying the heart with blood) are blocked due process of atherosclerosis . Following this process, is deposited on artery wall fat calcified plaque, which will reduce blood flow to that level. Another cause of angina is the situation where effort is required than the capacity of the heart that she is or where it needs more oxygen than normal. Angina appear in other diseases such as anemia, aortic valve disease, cardiac arrhythmias, or excessive thyroid functioning.

Coronary heart disease is leading cause of death worldwide. In the US, for example, annually, over 1.5 million people are myocardial infarction and one third of them die from stroke. Overall, heart disease kills more people than all other causes of death combined. Angina is particularly common in those aged over 30 years and is more comm on in men. And considering the fact that at least one third of the population over 30 suffers from hypertension, we can appreciate exactly how serious the situation in this perspective.

The medical term is angina refers literally to a specific pain, occurring in the thorax. There are several types of angina, the classic bearing the name of stable angina. It is determined by a certain effort and disappears at rest. If you have stable angina, surely you are able to arrange activities which triggers your angina.

Another type of angina is unstable angina. It is a progressive condition worse, which may occur during rest or sleep, but may be provided in any way. Unstable angina should be interpreted as a sign of severe heart damage, which precedes, sooner or later, a heart attack.

Myocardial infarction, or heart attack , as it is called, occurs when part of the heart muscle is completely devoid of blood and heart muscle cells die because of this. A heart attack can occur when plaque inside the heart arteries breaks forming a clot that blocks blood flow through the artery. Such plate is formed from cholesterol, leukocytes, calcium and other components and is surrounded by a fibrous capsule. If pressure and blood flow increases suddenly, the fibrous

- Pain is the most important sign. It is initially located in the middle of the chest and often radiates to the upper left to the neck or the abdomen. Chest pain contractions create a powerful feeling, which raises a whole chest claws. Some refer this pain only to a peripheral (arm, neck). Sometimes, because of association with retrosternal burning pain is mistaken for indigestion. Each time, however, has the same pain location and radiation of the same person.
