Over the past three months I, probably like most have benefitted from the movement in small micro - cap stock that have risen heavily on increased liquidity. The next stock, despite having benefitted from a massive surge in share price back in April, that I have focused on is Ultrasis. This company is poised to secure the ever increasing Mental Health Market both at home and in the US (Several lucrative contracts already announced)through its suite of highly effective software.

The companies web address is as follows http://www.ultrasis.co.uk

I for one have gone heavily into this stock and am prepared to wait for the realisation of its potential to kick in .I would advise others to do so

CALL FOR PARTIES TO PUT WORK RELATED STRESS ON THE POLITICAL AGENDA

With stress now officially the number one cause of absenteeism costing the economy an estimated 3.7 billion a year a leading interactive healthcare specialist believes the issue should be placed higher up on the political agenda.

Absenteeism due to workplace stress is a growing problem for employers resulting in the loss of some 13 million working days each year, commented Graham Lewis, Chief Executive of interactive healthcare specialists, Ultrasis plc. This is bad news for the economy as well as a headache for employers, and were surprised that none of the major parties is making an issue of this, particularly as there are cost-effective steps which can be taken to tackle the problem.

Ultrasis have pioneered the development of a number of interactive packages, some using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, which enable employers to identify the extent of stress and anxiety amongst staff and, where appropriate, take remedial action. As well as being highly effective and drug-free, the programmes have low set-up and operating costs, increasing their appeal to organisations who want to deal with the problem in a cost-effective way.

Last year the Health and Safety Executive introduced new stress management guidelines which all employers are now required to follow, which demonstrates that the government recognises the importance of the problem. Whilst the issue of stress related absenteeism is recognized by all three main parties, it is surprising that their respective policies are not being more openly debated, commented Graham Lewis.

He added, The scale of this growing problem would suggest that this is an issue which cant be ignored and merits higher priority on the agendasfor all parties. The benefits of a more proactive approach to tackling stress are all too obvious both for employers and the economy in general.

Foam treatment for varicose veins

More than a fifth of adults get varicose veins
Injecting patients with a foam that expands in the blood vessels can successfully treat troublesome varicose veins, say doctors.
Between 20% and 30% of adults develop varicose veins, usually later in life or during pregnancy.

As well as looking unpleasant, varicose veins can ache, throb and itch.

More than 50 patients at Ealing Hospital in London have received the foam therapy with good results, says consultant Mr George Geroulakos.

Fast foam

If they are small, varicose veins may be controlled with conservative methods, such as compression bandages or stockings.

But larger or more complicated varices cases will need surgery.

The early and interim results are really promising

Mr George Geroulakos

This can involve stripping the veins, tying them off or injecting an agent to close the vein, which is called sclerotherapy.

Sclerotherapy has some advantages over surgical stripping.

It can be done under local rather than general anaesthetic and leaves only one small scar in the groin rather than numerous scars on the leg.

"With the conventional stripping technique, the patient has to stay off work for about eight days after.

"With the foam therapy, they can go back within days," said Mr Geroulakos, who is also a consultant for the Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust.

Doctors have been using liquid sclerotherapy for years. But a newer way is to use a foam, guided with the help of ultrasound imaging.

Closing the vein

In contrast to liquid, foam is not diluted once injected, so less is needed and it remains in the vein for a longer time.

The foam works by pushing the blood out of the way and is able to make better contact with the inside of the vein walls.

All of these factors mean it could work better than liquid sclerotherapy, according to Mr Geroulakos.

"Sometimes the liquid can leak outside of the vein and this can cause a chemical sore or ulcer.

"We think complications should be less common with the foam.

"Plus you can see exactly where the foam is with ultrasound. It casts a shadow that can be seen with the machine. You can see every individual vein, which is a major advantage," he said.

Mr Geroulakos has been treating patients with the foam technique for two years. "The early and interim results are really promising, but we have not been doing it long enough to know about the long-term results," he said.

About a fifth of patients who have their varicose veins treated with stripping will need repeat treatment within five years because the problem comes back. But it is not yet clear whether the same is true with foam therapy.

A single injection of the foam is enough to treat a half metre length of vein.

Afterwards, the patient wears a compression stocking continuously for two weeks and then during the day only for another week.

Topped up.

Good steady buying volume today.

Have been with this since early March - topped up as well in between . Normally with the news likes of yesterday it would shoot up like first week in April it was 1.29 - looks like at the moment markets are jittery and not many want to plunge.
p/271

Lots of sales today - any one has any news ???

Although all shown as sells, 0.65p and above are buys.

I am still in on theses although down at the moment, no problem they tend to take of when a juicy announcement is issued.

Have been in and out of these shares (by luck at the right times) but reckon once the pep/isa sellers are out of the way by 23/5 and the aim listing is a fait a compli that this share will be worth buying again as NICE announcement in July should be good news

robinhood
I agree, but the pep /isa sellers, do not have to sell just open a new account.

i know, but reckon that quite a few won't bother as the sp has not been performing very well and will just liquidate position.

I don't see a sound plan behind an online health product, but nevertheless, it does sound really cheap. Considering the fundamental behind the company, it is almost implying that it has no right to exist in the first place with very bad track records for any earnings at all for the past few years. I am very skeptical of putting my money in this (I got burnt on this a few years back when it jumped to 0.77p, at the peak I bought it, and nose dived down to 0.30p weeks later). I bet same happened this time, 1.2p then nose dived back down again. Perhaps, I should wait till it bottom up at roughly 0.33 - 0.40p then I would dive in again? Need a very very long strategy on this one.

slkhlaw
I understand your concerns, they are going to the Aim Market, and going to raise money, to be put to good use we hope, but with the new appointment of DIRECTOR OF SALES I am hoping that new orders will be flowing, I think punters should take a position and add on a price drop.
