Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):

"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.

interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

How much easier and cheaper with very close to lab testing accuracy would PSAwatch make....................quite a bit methinks!


Ontario Improving Access To Prostate Cancer Testing
McGuinty Government To Cover Community Laboratory PSA Tests Under OHIP

TORONTO, Dec. 16 /CNW/ -

NEWS

Ontario is improving access to care by making it easier for men to get
tested for prostate cancer closer to home.
Starting in January, 2009, the cost of a Prostate-Specific Antigen test
performed at a community laboratory will be covered under the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan when it's ordered by a primary care provider for men who meet
the test's clinical guidelines.
Making the PSA test available in community labs means many men will now
benefit from improved access and monitoring within their own community. For
those living in rural and northern communities this flexibility will provide
greater convenience because less time will be required to travel to and from a
testing facility.
Currently, publicly funded tests are only available in hospitals and are
covered through a hospital's budget.

QUOTES

"Through more discussions with health care providers and increased access
to the PSA test, Ontario's men will be better equipped to detect prostate
cancer," said David Caplan, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. "Our
government pledged to increase access to the PSA test - I'm pleased to follow
through on that commitment."
"Making the test more accessible through community labs removes a barrier
for men at risk and for those with symptoms who should have a PSA test," said
Terrance Sullivan, President and CEO of Cancer Care Ontario. "Men should talk
to their primary care physician about whether the PSA test is right for them."
"I'm pleased the government is making it easier for all Ontarians -
especially those in rural and northern areas of the province - to get the PSA
test," said Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro, who introduced the issue in
two Private Member's Bills.

QUICK FACTS

- In Ontario in 2007, about 8,900 men were diagnosed with prostate
cancer and 1,650 died from the disease - the third leading cause of
cancer death in men.
- The PSA test is a blood test that measures the amount of PSA in the
blood. PSA is produced by the prostate and is normally in a man's
blood in small amounts. An elevated PSA level may indicate that
cancer is present.
- Elevated PSA levels don't necessarily mean a man has cancer. Other
factors - infection of the prostate gland, for example - can also
cause PSA levels to rise.

Mediwatch Portascan+
A Truly Portable Real-Time
Ultrasound Bladder Scanner

National Ultrasound has just recently been awarded the US Distribution Rights for the NEW Portascan Bladder Scanner product developed in the UK by Mediwatch Ltd.

The Portascan bladder scanner is a portable, battery operated bladder scanner that provides a full ultrasound image of the bladder. The system uses Windows CE based software to analyze the bladder scan and automatically displays the volume. The software is also capable of extrapolating the bladder outline and calculating the volume in extreme cases where the bladder is so large as to not be contained within the scanned image.

Cancer cases up 16 per cent in a decade as the population ages

Cancer Breakthroughs:Prostate testing

04:25 PM PST on Friday, December 19, 2008

"Olympia painter Bob Hunter now has two claims to fame. He was once Kurt Cobain's high school art teacher and recently became a strong advocate for prostate cancer screening."

"Because he's high risk, Bob had regular PSA screenings for 10 years. Then earlier this year, those numbers spiked. His doctor, Christopher Porter believes that prostate testing should be a decision between doctor and patient."

"Eventually, Bob chose the option he and wife Linda could live with - a minimally invasive surgery that took place seven months after his diagnosis. Then he got tested again.

"That PSA 0.05 almost negligible, so it worked, he said."

Podcast: Watchful waiting and cancer therapy

Welcome to Mayo Clinic podcast. Our topic today is watchful waiting and what it means for a person with cancer.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/watchful-waiting/MY00403/rss=1


Prostate Cancer - To screen, or not to screen, is that the question?

Ultimately, however, I think the debate over prostate cancer screening is moot,
since we have progressed beyond advocating treatment for all prostate cancers. With the
aid of Partin Tables [9], Kattan Nomograms [10], assessing PSA velocity[11] or percent
of prostate cores positive for prostate cancer [12], we continue to improve our ability todiagnose low-grade, low-stage, perhaps non-lethal prostate cancer that can be managed with expectant management.

So let us not continue to roll around in the quagmire of to screen or not to screen. Let’s instead embrace the notion and the current trial assessing expectant management to answer the question, to treat or not to treat.

Prostate Cancer - To screen, or not to screen, is that the question?

That's me done and off to church I go,for THE Nativity play,should be fun.

Encouraging news,now where are the FDA approvals?

Annual screening catches prostate cancer early

HMC to resume prostate cancer screening

Web posted at: 1/2/2009 3:26:31

The screening will include clinical examination and blood tests to find the amount of Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) protein. The PSA protein is present in small quantities in the blood of normal men, and in higher quantities in the presence of prostate disorders.

“The whole programme was stopped and so we do not have any results. Blood tests have not been released. The pilot test will go on for one year and based on the results recommendations to launch it as a national programme will be made.”

BMA head wins polyclinic contract

Thursday, 8 January 2009

"The UK's doctors' leader is part of a consortium that is to run one of the polyclinics his organisation has campaigned against.

The British Medical Association has vigorously opposed the super-surgeries being set up across England.

But it has now emerged BMA chairman Dr Hamish Meldrum is part of a group of doctors that have been appointed to run a clinic in East Riding in Yorkshire. "

"But it has now emerged that he is one of the doctors that has formed the Bridlington Healthcare NHS Collaborative to run the area's polyclinic, which is opening later this year."

"Health minister Ben Bradshaw said the news represented confirmation that the government was right to pursue the policy.

"I am delighted by this vote of confidence from the head of the BMA in the new GP-led health centre programme.""

Dr Meldrum said ""We opposed the way the government imposed these clinics, but they are now being introduced so we have had to make the best of a bad job."

He said he would not be working at the polyclinic or benefit financially from it." :-)

I see MDW have updated their website,looks from the main page that they are going to give a list of events they will be exhibiting at in 2009!

Also within the update:

It gets better:

Problem:

Potential for false negative results due to reduced stability.

Action:

Discontinue all use of affected product and discard remaining stock.
Consider the need to review previous patient results.
Consider the need to re-test patients, if appropriate, using an alternative device.
:-)

"Approximately 27,000 devices were shipped to the UK."
