AEMD also saw spiking interest on social media trading platform StockTwits, where message volume was more than 1,500% above average. In the market, traders had transacted 178 million units of AEMD as of 1 p.m. in New York, dwarfing the stock's average of 2.1 million per day over the past year.The Zacks report released Tuesday noted that the company has expanded the commercial opportunity for its Hemopurifier device and possibility shortened the path to approval.The prior week, on June 3, AEMD announced a publication of a "pre-print manuscript" highlighting two cases studies of critically ill COVID-19 patients treated with the Hemopurifier. The results showed it was able to successfully clear the virus and associated exosomes from the blood stream, CEO Charles Fisher said. One of the patients treated was successfully discharged from the hospital, though the other patient ultimately died because of "the advanced stage of the disease," Aethlon said in a <a href="https://ir.aethlonmedical.com/press-releases/detail/430/aethlon-medical-publishes-case-studies-of-two-critically">press release</a>."In summary, the two case studies indicate that the Hemopurifier successfully cleared SARS-CoV-2 virus and associated exosomes from the blood stream," said Zacks Research. "This resulted in a potential benefit for one of the critical COVID-19 patients treated. The two patients tolerated a total of nine Hemopurier treatments without side effects."Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-next-short-squeeze-opportunities-how-to-find-fintel-2021-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CEO of investment-research firm Fintel shares 20 heavily shorted stocks primed for a squeeze, based on an explorer he built to help retail investors identify opportunities</a>
