Test offers EoE patients a simple, clinically proven method to control their disease. “…Beyond thrilled to use this at Phoenix Children’s Hospital…” – Dr. Schroeder, Medical Director, Eosinophilic Disease Clinic, Phoenix Children’s Hospital
AURORA, Colo. – October 24, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Clinicians with the Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Disease Program at the Digestive Health Institute, Children’s Hospital of Colorado, performed the Esophageal String Test® (EST) on a patient in early September. The test will be offered regularly at the hospital.
The EST was also performed on patients in the Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Clinic at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
“I am now beyond thrilled to use this new esophageal surveillance technique at Phoenix Children’s and for my patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. The EST is a game-changer for my patients who are looking for a less invasive and less expensive way to screen their disease activity,” said Dr. Shauna Schroeder, Medical Director for the Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Clinic at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She further stated “Having trained in Denver, I had experience using the EST as a research tool in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. I am now able to more granularly adjust medications and diets improving the care of my patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.”
The Esophageal String Test® utilizes a simple collection device, the EnteroTracker®, to collect upper gastrointestinal samples from adults and children. The samples are sent to an independent reference lab for analysis of disease activity. Several other clinics around the country are planning to offer the test soon.

Electric GT’s EV ‘V8’ Crate Motor System Dominates EV Swaps in Display Vehicles at SEMA
Gb Sciences’ anxiety formulations were previously identified using the company’s AI-driven PhAROS™ platform, and they have now been evaluated using preclinical zebrafish models of stress at the National Research Council of Canada.
LAS VEGAS – October 24, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Gb Sciences, Inc. (“GbS”; OTCQB:GBLX), a leading plant-inspired research and biopharmaceutical drug development company, has received positive preclinical results in an interim report from its study using preclinical zebrafish models of stress at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). GbS’ proprietary anxiety formulations have achieved a statistically significant reduction of stress in this preclinical study. The NRC is testing GbS’ proprietary, psychotropic plant-based formulas for the treatment of depression and anxiety. GbS has leveraged its patent-pending PhAROS™ (Phytomedical Analytics for Research Optimization at Scale) platform to identify these combinations of plant compounds for novel drug candidates. These are the company’s first non-cannabis formulations to advance in preclinical studies.
“We have achieved an important milestone in the development of our novel, kava-inspired anxiety formulations. Not only did some of our formulations achieve statistical significance in the animal model, but these minimum essential mixtures also demonstrated synergy by significantly outperforming the individual active ingredients within our minimum essential mixture formulations,” said Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, Gb Sciences’ President and Chief Science Officer. “This preclinical data also confirms that our PhAROS™ platform was capable of yielding concrete, potentially effective, plant-inspired combination drugs.”
For these novel psychotropic drug candidates, the Gb Sciences research team used the PhAROS™ platform to identify new ingredients to improve upon an initial formulation for anxiety based on traditional medicine. The original plant mixture was derived from the kava plant, but some elements of kava are thought to cause liver toxicity. PhAROS™ identified ingredients from the Piper plant family as a substitute for the functionality of the ingredients in question without the potentially adverse safety profiles of those original ingredients. The Piper plant family includes pepper plants that are used worldwide in traditional medicines.
The PhAROSTM platform is a revolutionary, AI-driven science gateway and virtual research environment for drug discovery. With its data analytics and machine learning capabilities, PhAROS™ allows Gb Sciences to greatly reduce the time and money required to bring novel, plant-inspired formulations to market. PhAROS™ represents a breakthrough combination of data sciences and traditional plant-based medicines.
