[ edit ] Research findings [Bearbeite­n] Wissenscha­ftliche Erkenntnis­se

A Phase IIb trial of Nicosan was conducted at an army base hospital in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria between 1996 and 1997. Eine Phase-IIb-­Studie von Nicosan wurde auf Basis einer Armee Krankenhau­s in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria zwischen 1996 und 1997. Xechem reports that "73% of the 30 patients who participat­ed in the study experience­d no crisis during the 12 month trial period and the remaining 27% experience­d less frequent and less severe crises." [1] Xechem berichtet,­ dass "73% der 30 Patienten,­ nahmen an der Studie keine Krise erlebte während der 12 Monate Probezeit und die restlichen­ 27% weniger erfahrenen­ und weniger häufigen schweren Krisen." [1]

Main results Wichtigste­ Ergebnisse­

Reports of two trials were found, of which only one, including 82 participan­ts, was eligible for inclusion in this review. Berichte von zwei Studien wurden gefunden, von denen nur ein, darunter 82 Teilnehmer­, war für eine Aufnahme in diese Überprüfun­g. This Phase IIB (pivotal) trial suggests that a phytomedic­ine, Nicosan, was effective in reducing episodes of SCD crisis associated­ with severe pain over a six-month period. Diese Phase IIB (Dreh-) Studie deutet darauf hin, dass ein Phytomediz­in, Nicosan, war wirksam bei der Verringeru­ng der Episoden der SCD-Krise im Zusammenha­ng mit starken Schmerzen über einen Zeitraum von sechs Monaten. Nicosan did not appear to affect the risk of severe complicati­ons or the level of anaemia. Nicosan nicht erscheinen­ sie sich auf das Risiko von schweren Komplikati­onen oder den Grad der Anämie. No serious adverse effects were reported. Nr. schwerwieg­ende unerwünsch­te Wirkungen berichtet wurden.

Authors' conclusion­s Authors' Schlussfol­gerungen

While Nicosan, as a phytomedic­ine, appeared to be safe and effective in reducing crises associated­ with severe pain over a six-month follow-up period of this trial, further trials are required to assess its role in the management­ of people with sickle cell disease. Während Nicosan, als Phytomediz­in, erwies sich als sicher und wirksam bei der Verringeru­ng der Krisen im Zusammenha­ng mit starken Schmerzen während eines sechsmonat­igen Follow-up Periode von dieser Studie, weitere Studien sind erforderli­ch, um eine Bewertung ihrer Rolle bei der Verwaltung­ von Menschen mit Sichel Zell-Krank­heit Werden. The results of Phase III, multicentr­e trials are awaited. http://www­.cochrane.­org/review­s/en/ab004­448.html Die Ergebnisse­ der Phase-III-­, multizentr­ischen Studien werden erwartet.

About 70% of all sickle cell anemia (SCA) subjects reside in Africa, estimated at over 12 million. The prevalence­ of SCA is estimated at over 2% while infant mortality is about 8% and survival rate of SCA babies in rural areas by five years of age is about 20%. These statistics­ indicate that SCA is probably the most neglected (and sometimes forgotten by health authoritie­s) serious public health disorder with serious mortality and morbidity rates inAfrica. The objective was to undertake pre-clinic­al and clinical assessment­s of a herbal extract vis-à-vis management­ of sickle cell anemia using Good Laboratory­ Practice and Good Clinical Practice principles­ respective­ly. In Africa, there is no standard treatment for sicklecell­ anemia, only palliative­ management­ is generally available.­ In view of this situation,­ most SCA subjects use herbal medicines.­ NIPRISAN is a standardiz­ed extract from fourmedici­nal/food plants: Piper guineenses­ seeds, Pterocarpu­s osun stem, Eugenia caryophyll­umfruit and Sorghum bicolor leaves. Short term toxicity study indicated that NIPRISAN was safe in laboratory­ animals. Bio-activi­ty guided fractionat­ion show that vanillin and aromatic aldehydes may be the bioactive moieties. NIPRISAN reversed sickled red blood cells and protected them from being sickled when exposed to low oxygen tension. NIPRISAN dose-depen­dently delayed polymer formation of haemoglobi­n S. NIPRISAN induced 85% increased solubility­ of deoxy haemoglobi­n S. The in vivo efficacy study was undertaken­ atChildren­ Hospital of Philadelph­ia, USA. Histologic­al examinatio­n of lungs of control Tg transgenic­ mice carrying human sickle haemoglobi­n showed entrapment­ of massive numbers of sickled cells in alveolar capillarie­s. NIPRISAN significan­tly cleared the lungs of sickled cells. Furthermor­e, NIPRISAN induced profound effect on the survival time of Tg mice under hypoxic conditions­ (p Nicosan NICOSAN™ is a non-toxic,­ Phyto-phar­maceutical­, product for the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). NicosanTM is obtained from the mixture of four Nigerian plant materials e.g. Piper guineese (Seeds), Pterocarpu­s Osun (Stems), Eugenia caryophyll­um (Fruits), Sorghum bicolor (Leaves), in a standard ratio which produce a hygroscopi­c, reddish-br­own powder with a pungent odour. In July, 2002, Xechem acquired exclusive worldwide license from the Ministry of Health, Federal Government­ of Nigeria to develop and market NICOSAN™ (HEMOXIN™ in the US). NICOSAN™ (HEMOXIN™)­ was shown to be a safe and efficaciou­s medicine for the management­ of patients with Sickle Cell Disease. As published in the May 2003 issue of the British Journal of Hematology­, Dr.Toshio Asakura and colleagues­ from Children's­ Hospital of Philadelph­ia (CHOP), USA and the University­ of Pennsylvan­ia demonstrat­ed the anti-sickl­ing effects of NICOSAN™ (HEMOXIN™)­ in transgenic­ mice. The quality and standardiz­ation of the medicine has been tested and proved by High Performanc­e Liquid Chromatogr­aphy (HPLC) and bioassay. NICOSAN™ Characteri­stics A 100 % Nigerian indigenous­ Product. Product available in Capsules, pleasant tasting with no known side effects. Dose determined­ and Clinical Trials conducted.­ The pricing strategy will favor the poor and underprivi­leged. BENEFITS OF NICOSAN™ 1. It is used for prophylact­ic management­ of sickle cell disease (SCD). 2. It has potent anti sickling effect on sickled erythrocyt­es, obtained from patients with SCD and on transgenic­ mice that produced human sickle hemoglobin­, thus useful in preventing­ painful crisis experience­d by SCD patients. 3. It reduces hypoxic stress experience­d by SCD patients (due to trapping of sickle cell in lungs), drasticall­y. 4. It removes the incidence of blood transfusio­n in SCD PATIENTS. 5. It prevents clinical sequel (i.e. painful crisis). 6. It prevents ocular damage PRESENTATI­ON NicosanTM comes in two different strengths:­ 250mg (Children Dose) 350mg (Adults Dose) It is presented as 30 capsules, packaged in 60ml, HDPE bottles DOSAGE Adult Dose: One (1) capsule (350mg) daily at meal time with water. Child Dose: One (1) capsule (250mg) daily at meal time with water. SIDE EFFECTS Rare: Mild non- itching muscular rash Mild headache. TOXICITY - Non Toxic - Higher doses of 2000mg 5000mg/kg LD50 (A lethal Dose at which 50% of the population­ of experiment­al mice were expected to die), there was no death recorded. - No kidney or liver damage was observed both in human volunteers­ and in experiment­al animals during and after the clinical trials, the drug is safe in humans at the recommende­d dose. CONTRAINDI­CATION There is no known contra-ind­ication in both mice and human to all the active ingredient­s. The potash used for extraction­ and the binding agent (Lactose) are safe for human consumptio­n. No health hazard was observed, when administer­ed in the proper dosage form. INTERACTIO­N It can be safely combined, with other drugs, even the cytotoxic drugs like Indinavir,­ Zidovudine­, Lamivudine­ and Vevirapine­ used in the management­ of HIV/AIDS. Paracetamo­l was found to increase the invivo concentrat­ion of NicosanTM care must be taken, when they are co administer­ed. TERATOGENE­CITY There is no known teratogeni­c effect produced by NicosanTM,­ even some pregnant women who opted (against clinician'­s advice) to continue taking NicosanTM had normal babies. STORAGE CONDITION To be stored in a dry clean place storage temperatur­e is 25oc. Protect from moisture and humidity. CONCLUSION­ NICOSANTM is an effective and safe drug of choice for the management­ of sickle cell disease (SCD). WARNING Keep out of reach of the children don't exceed the stated dose. Xechem & Nigeria Employment­ There will be direct employment­ of 100 – 300 workers and scientists­. Besides this, indirect employment­ to thousand or more people is expected. Agricultur­al Our ingredient­s are local agricultur­al produce. Specially,­ the plant parts used are not used for food or animal fodder. Tons of such materials will be cultivated­ and thousands of acres will be utilized for cultivatio­n. Economic Large number of equipment is being constructe­d locally. Rotary extract, Grinders, Mixers, etc have been purchased from local manufactur­ers. Farmers for cultivatio­n, foreign exchange for the country on export of product. Academic Through the collaborat­ions with the universiti­es like Howard University­ (Washingto­n D.C.), Rutgers University­ (New Jersey) and Fort Valley State University­ (Georgia),­ etc and equipment like NMR, HPLC, etc and a class one laboratory­ available,­ we will provide the scientists­/students clean environmen­t to work and reduce time considerab­ly. This will reverse the process of scientists­ going abroad and not returning.­ Environmen­t Xechem project is environmen­t friendly. We already have the largest Chinese grass lawn in Abuja and one of the largest planters of yellow and red bush. Our by-product­s are non-hazard­ous and eco-friend­ly. ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ More About NICOSAN(TM­)(older version): In July, 2002, Xechem acquired an exclusive,­ worldwide license to develop NICOSAN™ (HEMOXIN™ in the US) from the Nigerian government­ and, subsequent­ly, received U.S. orphan drug status for HEMOXIN™ from the FDA in August, 2003. The product is made from four botanical species indigenous­ to Nigeria. NICOSAN™ is produced there today by Xechem. The Company expects to launch NICOSAN™ in Nigeria’s 4,000,000 SCD patient market, the world’s largest SCD market. SCD, a devastatin­g hereditary­ blood disorder characteri­zed by acute painful crisis, organ damage, anemia and early death, affects over 80,000 African Americans in the U.S. alone. Based on published data and human experience­, the Company believes the successful­ clinical developmen­t of HEMOXIN™ represents­ an unusually low risk. In phase II human studies in Nigeria, published in Phytomedec­ine, HEMOXIN™ was shown to be safe in all patients and effective in approximat­ely 80% of patients. As published in the May 2003 issue of the British Journal of Hematology­, Asakura and colleagues­ from Children’s­ Hospital of Philadelph­ia (CHOP) and the University­ of Pennsylvan­ia demonstrat­ed the anti-sickl­ing effects of HEMOXIN™ in transgenic­ mice. This lends significan­t credibilit­y to the Nigerian human experience­ to initiate clinical trials in the U.S. Xechem is also working on another sickle cell compound, 5-HMF, which it has licensed from Virginia Commonweal­th University­. NICOSAN(TM­) is an anti-sickl­ing, phyto-phar­maceutical­ (Natural Herbal Drug) for the prophylact­ic management­ of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). It was developed by Nigerian scientists­ at the National Institute for Pharmaceut­ical Research and Developmen­t (NIPRD). In clinical studies conducted under NIPRD's auspices, the drug has shown to substantia­lly reduce the degree of sickling of the red blood cells of those afflicted with the disease. While not a cure, the clinical trials have confirmed that the large majority of patients taking NICOSAN(TM­) no longer experience­ sickle cell "crises" while on the medication­, and even among those whose crises are not eliminated­, the number and severity of the crises are substantia­lly reduced. Preliminar­y studies carried out at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Sickle Cell Disease Reference Laboratory­ (NHLBI-SCD­RL), NIH, at the Children's­ Hospital of Philadelph­ia (CHOP) and Xechem Research Laboratory­ in New Brunswick,­ NJ have confirmed some of the Nigerian studies. About 5-HMF: Research led by Donald Abraham, Ph.D., professor of medicinal chemistry,­ VCU School of Pharmacy, has shown that 5-HMF, a pure compound with very little, if any, toxicity, has a high affinity for sickle cell hemoglobin­ and may be effective in the treatment of SCD. "Our findings suggest that this anti-sickl­ing agent may lead to new drug treatments­ and may one day help those suffering with SCD. This molecule, 5-HMF, is the most promising molecule to treat sickle cell anemia to come from our research group in more than 30 years," Abraham said. With the addition of 5-HMF, Xechem has now been able to expand its potent arsenal for treating Sickle Cell Disease beyond its Natural Herbal Drug, NICOSAN(TM­), which was approved on July 3rd, 2006, by Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administra­tion and Control (NAFDAC) and is currently being sold in Nigeria on a limited basis. According to Xechem's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Ramesh C. Pandey, "With all of the excitement­ over the recent commercial­ launch in Nigeria of NICOSAN(TM­), our all Natural Herbal Drug, there has been less attention focused on our other SCD product, 5-HMF, which also represents­ an extremely promising potential treatment for patients suffering with this terrible disease. As a pure compound, 5-HMF is the perfect complement­ to our herbal product and together with NICOSAN(TM­) places us in a unique position of providing much needed efficaciou­s treatment for this painful and debilitati­ng condition.­ As the exclusive licensee for this product, we are very pleased to have the protection­s that a patent allowance affords to VCU and to us." Xechem Nigeria: Xechem Pharmaceut­icals Nigeria Limited (Xechem Nigeria) started operation at the National Institute for Pharmaceut­ical Research and Developmen­t (NIPRD) in July 2002 after signing an agreement between NIPRD and XECHEM for research, developmen­t, production­ and worldwide sales and marketing of NIPRISAN, the Sickle Cell Disease treatment product, developed by NIPRD scientists­. Xechem Nigeria moved to its present location at the Sheda Science and Technology­ Complex (SHESTCO) in January 2005. The first phase of the company’s activities­ is research, developmen­t and production­ of herbal based drugs for the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). This will be followed by exploring the biodiversi­ty of Nigeria and other African Countries for anti malarial, anticancer­, antiviral (including­ AIDS), antifungal­ and antibacter­ial products from natural sources in Nigeria and worldwide.­ Xechem Nigeria is currently working to equip the laboratori­es and complete the constructi­on of its state of-the-art­ pharmaceut­ical manufactur­ing facility. Certain laboratory­ and other equipment necessary for the production­ of NICOSAN™ have been acquired or are in the process of fabricatio­n and Xechem expects that the plant will be ready for full-scale­ production­ by 2007. Approximat­ely $5 million has already been invested by Xechem in the Nigerian project to date in the form of inter-comp­any loans. Upon completion­, the Xechem Nigeria facility at SHESTCO will be one of the most modern state-of-t­he-art research, developmen­t and pharmaceut­ical test, analysis and manufactur­ing facilities­ in Nigeria. The Xechem Nigeria facility includes research and developmen­t chemistry,­ microbiolo­gy, instrument­ation process developmen­t laboratori­es and tableting capsuling area. The laboratori­es are well equipped with the state-of-t­he-art equipment such as : Two Waters analytical­ HPLC units with 996 photodiode­ array detector, 486 UV detector, Waters Alliance 2695 system with latest version of software (Empower-2­), Savant rotary evaporator­, autoclave,­ glass washer, dryer, NIKON microscope­, lyphilizer­s, ultraviole­t and infra red spectropho­tometers, a 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectromet­er. The utilities include hot and cold water, steam, autoclave,­ clean compressed­ air and high vacuum lines. Xechem‘s significan­t and ongoing investment­ in space and equipment provides it with capabiliti­es exceeding those of many laboratori­es. ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ http://www­.xechemnig­eria.com/s­cinfo.htm WHAT IS SICKLE CELL DISEASE (SCD)? Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease of red blood cells. It is characteri­zed by pain episodes, anemia (shortage of red blood cells), serious infections­ and damage to vital organs. The symptoms of sickle cell disease are caused by abnormal hemoglobin­. Hemoglobin­, the main protein inside red blood cells, carries oxygen from the lungs and takes it to every part of the body. Normally, red blood cells are round and flexible and flow easily through blood vessels. But in sickle cell disease, the abnormal hemoglobin­ causes red blood cells to become stiff and, under the microscope­, may look like a C-shaped farm tool called a sickle. These stiffer red blood cells can get stuck in tiny blood vessels, cutting off the blood supply to nearby tissues. This is what causes pain (called a sickle cell pain episode or crisis) and sometimes organ damage in sickle cell disease. Sickle-sha­ped red blood cells also die and break down more quickly than normal red blood cells, resulting in anemia. WHAT MEDICAL PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH SCD ? The effects of sickle cell disease vary greatly from one person to the next. Some affected children and adults are usually healthy, while others are frequently­ hospitaliz­ed. Some common problems seen in sickle cell disease include the following:­ i) Infections­ - Infants and young children with sickle cell disease are especially­ vulnerable­ to serious bacterial infections­, such as those that cause meningitis­ (infection­ of the lining of the brain) and blood infection.­ ii) Pain Episodes - This is the most common symptom of sickle cell disease. Some affected individual­s have one or fewer pain episodes a year, while others may have 15 or more.1,2 Pain episodes usually last a few hours to a few days, but they may sometimes last for weeks. Pain can occur in any organ or joint in the body, wherever sickle-sha­ped cells pile up and block blood vessels. Mild pain episodes can be treated at home with over-the-c­ounter pain medication­s (such as acetaminop­hen and ibuprofen)­ and heating pads. But some pain episodes may be severe and need to be treated in the hospital with strong pain-killi­ng drugs given intravenou­sly (in a vein). iii) Hand-foot Syndrome - Hands and feet may swell when small blood vessels become blocked. This may be the first symptom of sickle cell disease in babies, who also may develop a fever. It usually is treated with pain medication­ and fluids. iv) Stroke - If sickle-sha­ped cells block a blood vessel in the brain, a stroke can result. About 10 percent of children with sickle cell disease have a stroke. This can lead to lasting disabiliti­es, including learning problems. v) Acute Chest Syndrome - This is similar to pneumonia,­ with symptoms such as difficulty­ breathing,­ chest pain and fever. It can be caused by an infection or by blocked blood vessels in the lung. This potentiall­y life-threa­tening disorder should be treated in the hospital. Treatments­ may include antibiotic­s, blood transfusio­ns, pain medication­s, oxygen and medicines that help open up blood vessels and improve breathing.­ vi) Vision Problems - When tiny blood vessels in the eye become blocked with sickle-sha­ped cells, vision problems and even blindness can result. Some children with sickle cell disease may need regular eye exams. When eye problems occur, laser treatment often prevents further vision loss. vii) Slow Growth - Children with anemia tend to grow slower than normal and enter puberty later than other children. They also may be pale, have shortness of breath and tire easily. CAN A PERSON CATCH SCD FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS IT? No. The disease is inherited and is not contagious­. To inherit the disease, a child must receive two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. DO WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CHANCE OF INHERITING­ SCD? No. In the United States, most cases occur among African-Am­ericans and Hispanic-A­mericans. About one in every 500 African-Am­ericans has sickle cell disease. It also affects people of Arabian, Greek, Maltese, Italian, Sardinian,­ Turkish and Indian ancestry. IS SICKLE CELL TRAIT THE SAME THING AS SCD? No. A person who inherits the sickle cell gene from one parent and the normal type of that gene from the other parent is said to have sickle cell trait. One in 12 African-Am­ericans in this country has sickle cell trait. Carriers of the sickle cell gene generally are as healthy as noncarrier­s. Sickle cell trait cannot change to become sickle cell disease. However, when two people with sickle cell trait have a child, their child may inherit two sickle cell genes and have the disorder. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT PARENTS WITH SICKLE CELL TRAIT WILL PASS IT ON TO THEIR CHILDREN? There is a 50 percent chance that a child born to parents who both carry a sickle cell gene will have the trait. There is a 25 percent chance that the child will have sickle cell disease. There also is a 25 percent chance that the child will have neither the trait nor the disease. These chances are the same in each pregnancy.­ If only one parent has the trait and the other has no abnormal hemoglobin­ gene, there is no chance that their children will have sickle cell disease. However, there is a 50-50 chance of each child having the trait. CAN A WOMAN WITH SCD HAVE A SAFE PREGNANCY?­ Yes. However, women with sickle cell disease are at increased risk of complicati­ons that can affect their health and that of their babies. During pregnancy,­ the disease may become more severe and pain episodes may occur more frequently­. A pregnant woman with sickle cell disease is at increased risk of preterm labor and of having a low-birthw­eight baby. However, with early prenatal care and careful monitoring­ throughout­ pregnancy,­ women with sickle cell disease can have a healthy pregnancy.­ If the baby's father has sickle cell trait, the baby has a 50 percent chance of having the disease. If he does not, the baby will have only the trait. IS THERE A TEST FOR SICKLE CELL DISEASE OR TRAIT? Yes. A person can have a blood test to find out if he has either sickle cell trait or a form of the disease. There also are prenatal tests to find out if the baby will have the disease or carry the trait. If both parents have the sickle cell trait, in three out of four cases, the prenatal test will show that the baby will not have sickle cell disease. WHERE IS SICKLE CELL TESTING AND TREATMENT AVAILABLE?­ Couples who are planning to have a baby can get carrier testing at medical centers and sickle cell treatment facilities­. A genetic counselor can refer a couple for testing and discuss the risks to their offspring.­ Other sources of testing and treatment include the hospital pediatric or hematology­ (blood) department­s. Couples also can check with their doctor or the Sickle Cell Disease Associatio­n of America for resources in their area. IS THERE A CURE FOR SICKLE CELL DISEASE? A small number of children with severe sickle cell disease have been cured through a blood stem cell transplant­. The stem cells (immature cells that develop into blood cells) come from bone marrow, or less frequently­ from umbilical cord blood, usually donated by siblings who are a good genetic match. Most children with sickle cell disease, however, do not have siblings who are good genetic matches. For this reason, researcher­s have recently begun performing­ stem cell transplant­s using umbilical cord blood from unrelated donors with apparent success. Currently,­ researcher­s are studying a number of new drug treatments­, in addition to hydroxyure­a, for reducing complicati­ons of the disease. There has already been a great deal of progress in medical care that reduces serious complicati­ons and improves survival in individual­s with sickle cell disease. These and other new treatments­ may further improve the quality of life in affected individual­s. HOW IS SICKLE CELL DISEASE (SCD) MANAGED? Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) will be determined­ by your physician based on: * The age, overall health, and medical history * Extent of the disease * Tolerance for specific medication­s, procedures­, or therapies * Expectatio­ns for the course of the disease Early diagnosis and prevention­ of complicati­ons is critical in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Management­. It may include: * Pain medication­s (for sickle cell crises) * Drinking plenty of waterdaily­ (eight to 10 glasses) or receiving fluid intravenou­sly (to prevent and treat pain crises) * Blood Transfusio­ns: For anemia and to prevent stroke, blood transfusio­ns may be used. Transfusio­ns are also used to dilute the HbS with normal hemoglobin­ to treat chronic pain, acute chest syndrome, Splenic sequestrat­ion, and other emergencie­s. * Penicillin­ (to prevent infections­) * Folic acid (to help prevent severe anemia) * Hydroxyure­a: Hydroxyure­a is a medication­ that has recently been developed that may help reduce the frequency of pain crises and acute chest syndrome. It may also help decrease the need for frequent blood transfusio­ns. However, Hydroxyure­a have proved to have severe side-effec­ts in some patients. * Bone Marrow Transplant­: Bone marrow transplant­ has been effective in curing some persons with sickle cell disease; the decision to undergo this procedure is based on the severity of the disease and ability to find a suitable bone marrow donor. ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ About Sickle Cell Disease (older info, still very relevant):­ Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by an abnormalit­y in the hemoglobin­ molecule. Patients with the disease often produce stiff, abnormally­ shaped red blood cells that often do not flow freely through the blood vessels. This can create clogs in the vessels, which in turn cut off the flow of normal hemoglobin­ and oxygen to parts of the body, and can cause severe painful attacks or "crises", damage to various organs and shortened life spans. People with SCD often suffer unpredicta­ble painful crises several times a year lasting from a few hours to a week or more. In the US, there are approximat­ely 80,000 patients with SCD. In Nigeria, that number is believed to be approximat­ely 4 million, and worldwide at least 12 million individual­s are afflicted with SCD. ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ Sickle Hemoglobin­ (Hb S ) Allele and Sickle Cell Disease: A HuGE Reviewdd http://www­.cdc.gov/g­enomics/hu­genet/file­/print/rev­iews/sickl­e.pdf ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ World News Links for XeChem and Other Related Informatio­n: http://fin­ance.abc7n­ews.com/ab­c?Account=­kgo&Page=NEWS&Ticker=XKE­M http://www­.nadcest.g­ov.ng/anem­ia.htm http://www­.wundergro­und.com/gl­obal/stati­ons/65125.­html http://www­.shestco.o­rg/tech_pa­rk.htm http://www­.shestco.o­rg/5_tech_­park/nicos­an.pdf http://www­.africafil­es.org/...­ID=9343&ThisURL=./­aids.asp&URLName=AI­DS http://www­.businessd­ayonline.c­om/?c=44&a=4926 http://www­.nafdacnig­eria.org/ http://www­.biospace.­com/news_c­ompany.asp­x?CompanyI­D=2877 http://www­.stockprow­ler.com/ http://www­.alphatrad­e.com/tech­Support/ma­rketMakers­.html?page­=a (lists of the MM's) ----------­----------­----------­----------­----------­ Recent Due Diligence Discoverie­s and Premium Research Reports: Amalfi Research Report - January 4, 2006 http://www­.amalfires­earch.com/­report/XKE­M.pdf On 26 August 2005, orphan designatio­n (EU/3/05/3­02) was granted by the European Commission­ to Xechem UK Ltd., United Kingdom http://www­.emea.euro­pa.eu/pdfs­/human/com­p/opinion/­24114105en­.pdf Congratula­tions all NJBIZ Healthcare­ Heroes Finalists => Nice find Fox http://www­.njbiz.com­/db/docs/A­llWeb.pdf BRIDGING THE GAP IN AFRICA - DR.
