• BRSF is creating mobile, easy-to-use electroencephalogram (“EEG”) devices that enhance research integrity
• There is an increasing desire to understand the brain’s capabilities and harness them for healing
• Brain Scientific provides a cost-efficient, pre-gelled, disposable and wireless solution that provides the same signal quality as the traditional wired EEG

A growing consumer market for brain-computer interface (“BCI”) technology has some researchers worried about the quality of the data being collected. Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a neurology-focused medical device and software company, has developed wireless, portable, easy-to-use electroencephalogram (“EEG”) devices that do not compromise research integrity.

Data collected from consumer-centric, low-cost BCIs are typically not as efficient or as pristine as that retrieved from research-grade conventional wired EEGs. However, the sudden growth of this market, which reached 1.2 billion in 2019, is largely due to a rise in neuroprosthetic conditions, a growing geriatric population, and a desire to communicate and facilitate movement in paralytic patients (https://ibn.fm/31FwN). There is an increasing desire to understand the brain’s capabilities and harness them for healing. Consumers are investing in personal BCI devices to monitor their own health and wellness patterns (https://ibn.fm/XMI9e).

Thea Radüntz of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Berlin, Germany, published a study that compared these mobile devices, gel based and those without gel, with the traditional EEG for research-based on signal quality (https://ibn.fm/jp5kp). Her team found that the gel-based device worked much more efficiently for research while those without gel did not meet the requirements for signal quality.

Many of the BCIs on the market are not gelled so that the consumer can easily fit the product themselves. They have far fewer electrodes and are designed for the ease of the consumer rather than the researcher. Brain Scientific is different. With neurological conditions on the rise, the company provides a cost-efficient, pre-gelled, disposable and wireless solution that provides the same signal quality as the traditional wired EEG.

Brain Scientific has two FDA-cleared products: the NeuroCap(TM) and NeuroEEG(TM). These portable EEGs devices make it possible for medical professionals to collect necessary diagnostic information quickly and for researchers to better control the subjects’ environment during clinical trials. A recent collaboration with JelikaLite, a company working to increase the well-being of children living with autism, highlights the advantages of BrainScientific’s mobile next-gen solutions in clinical trials (https://ibn.fm/tgIuT).

Researchers, clinicians and others working in brain diagnostics and treatment benefit from the portable, wireless and compact NeuroEEG that works to acquire, record, transmit and display electrical brain activity for patients. It works in conjunction with the NeuroCap, a hospital-grade disposable EEG headset with 19 active channels and 22 electrodes. The device can perform rapid EEG testing and be used in any setting, medical centers or private homes.

• Initial shipments of rare earth bearing monazite mineral mark beginning of plans to produce mixed rare earth element (“REE”) carbonate
• Company ramping up operations for “what we believe will become a burgeoning supply chain,” says CEO
• Energy Fuels plans to commercially produce REE product at a stage more advanced than any other U.S. company

Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) has received the first shipments of natural monazite ore at its White Mesa Mill in Utah (https://ibn.fm/SFNkh). Monazite ore is a naturally occurring mineral, rich in rare earth elements, which is currently mined as a byproduct of other metal mining. The shipments mark the beginning of UUUU’s plans to ramp up production of mixed rare earth element (“REE”) carbonate, an intermediate rare earth product, which is also the beginning of the company’s plans to increase domestic production of these vital minerals.

Energy Fuels will buy monazite from The Chemours Company operation in the state of Georgia, produce a mixed REE carbonate at its plant in Utah, and sell this product to Neo Performance Materials’ REE separation plant in Europe for production of value-added REE products available to U.S. and European manufacturers.

“Over the past few months, Energy Fuels, Neo and Chemours have quietly worked to create something very significant: a new, fully integrated, U.S.-Europe rare earth supply chain,” said Mark S. Chalmers, president and CEO of Energy Fuels. “This weekend’s shipments of monazite ore from Chemours to Energy Fuels marks the beginning of operations for what we believe will become a burgeoning supply chain.

“There is a lot of excitement building for rare earths, because they make many clean energy and advanced technologies possible, including electric vehicles, wind generation, batteries and advanced electronics,” he continued. “Today’s announcement is a key milestone as our companies create, refine, and grow a sustainable rare earth supply chain capable of supplying growing demand for clean technologies in the U.S. and Europe.”

The shipment of monazite received by Energy Fuels was produced by The Chemours Company at its Offerman Mineral Sand Plant in Georgia. Once Energy Fuels produces the REE carbonate from this monazite, the product will be advanced to REE separation, which is the next stage in the REE value chain. If successful in the coming weeks, Energy Fuels will be commercially producing an REE product at a stage more advanced than any other U.S. company.

One of the highest-value REE-bearing minerals in the world, monazite contains approximately 50% to 60% REEs, along with significant quantities of recoverable natural uranium. The substance, which is currently mined in the United States, Australia and Africa, is a key ingredient for many permanent REE magnet technologies used in electric vehicles and other advanced technologies. Monazite contains superior concentrations of neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr) and “heavy” rare earths needed for many clean energy and advanced technologies.

Although Energy Fuels is committed to its entry into the REE sector, the company also remains committed to maintaining its position as the leading U.S. producer of uranium and vanadium. In fact, the company expects to recover the uranium in the monazite ore, which will be used as fuel for clean, carbon-free nuclear energy. Energy Fuels is also continuing to evaluate constructing value-added U.S. rare earth separation and other capabilities at its facility in Utah in the next couple of years order to capture the full value of the REE supply chain.

• Annual growth of 17% is forecast for cannabis extraction market to reach $28.5 billion by 2027
• Pure Extracts Technologies is already operating leading extraction systems from Vitalis and will soon become one of the first companies to have Vitalis’ new Cosolvent Injection System (“CIS”)
• The CIS delivers dramatically faster throughput capacities, even higher-quality cannabis extracts, optimal ethanol cosolvent flow rates and low ethanol usage

Analysts are aligned on the future of the cannabis extraction market, with expectations for years of double-digit compound annual growth rates. The market experts at Grand View Research see 16.6% CAGR for the market to reach $28.5 billion by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/OSkhQ). Market Insight Reports concurs with the trajectory, seeing the market at $26.1 billion in the next six years (https://ibn.fm/L1IsE). Drivers are another common thread, particularly in medical applications where consumers and scientists continue to expand their understanding of all the healthcare uses for the spate of compounds found in cannabis and hemp plants. That’s good news to extraction companies like Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ) that get those compounds, called cannabinoids, out of the plant. The methods for extracting cannabinoids vary, as do the end products. Generally speaking, there are three types of products: full-spectrum, distillates and isolates. Full-spectrum products contain all the cannabinoids found in cannabis while distillates offer higher purity of either THC or CBD, depending on the biomass source.  Isolates are made up of only ultra-pure CBD or THC and no other cannabis compounds. Full-spectrum products are the most popular because of what is known as the “entourage effect,” delivered with the full gamut of cannabinoids. For many people dealing with common ailments like anxiety and pain, cannabinoids are becoming a go-to alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. Pure Extracts this month ordered brand-new technology from Vitalis, a global leader in extraction systems, to stay on the leading edge of the industry as demand increases. The British Columbia-based Company ordered Vitalis’ state-of-the-art Cosolvent Injection System (“CIS”), meaning Pure Extracts will be one of the first companies in the world to receive the innovative system. The CIS is an add-on that enhances Vitalis carbon dioxide extraction systems, including the Q90 (Vitalis’ flagship product) and R200 (Vitalis’ “massive volume” series) systems currently used at Pure Extracts’ facilities (https://ibn.fm/M1aIT). The CIS provides dramatically faster throughput capacities while maintaining the quality of the cannabis and hemp extracts. Furthermore, the Vitalis CIS has been designed to achieve the optimal ethanol cosolvent flow rate ranges for both cannabis and hemp extracts (i.e., THC and CBD), balancing extract quality with efficiency while keeping ethanol usage exceptionally low. To operators, this translates to better product, more product and higher margins. “We are very excited to be one of the first recipients of the Vitalis Cosolvent Injection System,” said Pure Extracts CEO Ben Nikolaevsky in a news release on the order (https://ibn.fm/hfae2). “It will allow us to ramp-up our production much faster than we had anticipated allowing us to offer our customers exceptional value while still producing the same high-quality oil extracts we are known for,” he concluded.

• Glioblastoma Multiforme (often known simply as GBM) is a fatal, incurable class of brain cancers that usually leaves patients only about 15 months to live once they are diagnosed
• A recent study by the Washington University School of Medicine found that the length of survivability appeared to improve when the standard chemotherapy regimen was given in the morning instead of the evening
• Brain cancer drug developer CNS Pharmaceuticals is also working on a solution to improve the quality of GBM care, seeing hope in its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, which showed promise in a small Phase 1 trial nearly 15 years ago
• One patient from that Phase 1 trial was still alive and cancer-free as of the most recent assessment in November
• CNS expects to begin a larger, multi-center potentially pivotal trial imminently (as well as collaborating on two Polish trials conducted by sublicensee partner WPD Pharmaceuticals), comparing Berubicin’s performance to the chemotherapy drug lomustine in hundreds of patients at nearly 60 oncology centers around the world

A new study recently completed by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that glioblastoma (“GBM”) brain cancer patients receiving the current chemotherapy standard of care had longer survivability rates if they switched from receiving treatments in the evening to receiving the treatments in the morning — encouraging news for patients with the incurable illness, as well as for neuro-oncology researchers attempting to develop improved treatments, including biopharmaceutical company CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP). “In my lab, we were studying daily rhythms in astrocytes, a cell type found in the healthy brain. We discovered some cellular events in healthy cells varied with time of day,” professor of biology Erik D. Herzog, PhD, stated in a Science Daily report on the study Herzog co-authored with professor of pediatrics and of neuroscience Joshua B. Rubin, MD, PhD (https://ibn.fm/TisXR). “Working with Dr. Rubin, we asked if glioblastoma cells also have daily rhythms. And if so, does this make them more sensitive to treatment at certain times?” Herzog said. “Very few clinical trials consider time of day even though they target a biological process that varies with time of day and with a drug that is rapidly cleared from the body. We will need clinical trials to verify this effect, but evidence so far suggests that the standard-of-care treatment for glioblastoma over the past 20 years could be improved simply by asking patients to take the approved drug in the morning.” GBM patients currently have an average 15-month survival rate after diagnosis of the illness. The Washington University study’s benefits were small — those who received the drug in the morning had an overall survival of about 17 months, while those who received it in the evening had an overall survival of about 13.5 months. But scientists hail any potentially significant increase in survivability as a step in the right direction for treating an incurable disease. Furthermore, among a subset of patients with what are called MGMT methylated tumors, the study’s participants who took the drug in the morning averaged overall survival of about 25.5 months compared to 19.5 months — a difference of six months — for those who were medicated in the evening, the study’s authors reported. CNS Pharmaceuticals is working to determine the efficacy of its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, in fighting off glioblastomas. In a small Phase 1 trial completed by another company well over a decade ago, 44 percent of patients saw their disease stabilize or improve. One Berubicin patient emerged cancer-free and as of the most recent medical assessment in November was still alive and still in remission nearly 15 years after the Phase 1 trial (https://ibn.fm/yZACY). CNS now hopes to advance Berubicin to commercial production, with the start of its potentially pivotal clinical trial slated to begin this quarter. The global trial will compare Berubicin’s response to the effectiveness level of established chemotherapy drug lomustine in 243 GBM patients at about 35 clinical sites in the United States (https://ibn.fm/x8Zp2) and 25 more in foreign locations. The company’s sublicensee partner, WPD Pharmaceuticals, will begin a similar Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin in Poland during the second quarter, with interim results anticipated by year’s end or early first quarter of 2022. WPD will also launch a Berubicin trial involving pediatric patients sometime later this year — the first significant investigation involving children with malignant gliomas (https://ibn.fm/CjWPj). Anthracyclines as a class of chemotherapy have been used for over 60 years to treat a variety of cancers. … However, historically, anthracyclines have never been used to treat primary or metastatic brain cancers because scientists could not demonstrate that anthracyclines were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve significant levels of activity in the brain,” CNS CEO John Climaco said in a webinar late last year (https://ibn.fm/d2OFK). “Berubicin may change that history because it is the first anthracycline that, based on limited clinical data, appears to cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve drug levels critical for efficacy against central nervous system malignancies.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CNSPharma.com.

Golden Leaf Holdings (CSE: GLH) (OTCQB: GLDFF), a proven, consumer-driven cannabis company in both the medicinal and recreational marijuana market segments, is planning to make an official corporate name change (https://ibn.fm/gVGzW). The company announced that it will be changing its name to Chalice Brands Ltd. at its annual and special meeting (“AGM”), which is slated for May 10, 2021. “With the hard work of the turnaround behind us, we continue to gather momentum and galvanize management behind the Chalice brand,” stated CEO Jeff Yapp. “Our Chalice Farms stores and our Chalice chews are the pride of our business. As we put the Golden Leaf era behind us, this name change serves to symbolize our resurgence as a relevant contender in the U.S. cannabis industry, driven by leadership in our home market of Oregon.” There are currently seven Chalice Farms dispensaries throughout the Portland area. The open, inviting locations are recognized for the enjoyable consumer experience they offer as GLF has focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere, a wide array of compelling products and an invaluable resource for its customers, regardless of their product experience. In addition to offering some of the highest-quality products from third-party companies, Chalice Farms has its own product line: Chalice Chews. This nutritionally enhanced and award-winning fruit edibles line offers a wide range of flavors, from CBD Green Apple, Kiwi Strawberry and Lemon Ginger to Tangerine, Tropical and Acai Berry. Chalice Chews are an ideal option because they offer a wide range of options, including formulations designed to help support the body and mind, recover from a workout, enjoy a natural energetic zip or slide gently into a great night’s sleep (https://ibn.fm/6y2Wo). In addition to obtaining approval for the name change at the next AGM, company officials plan to seek approval for a share consolidation with the objective of bringing outstanding common shares to approximately 65 million. Details of agenda items for the meeting will be included in the management information circular mailed later this month. Company officials have noted that the name change and share consolidation are both expected to receive overwhelming support.
