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!

FUTURE EVENTS AND LATEST
NEWS

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

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
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

with the last few posts:

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

PSA test could predict Prostate Cancer

By MedHeadlines Feb 20th, 2008 Category: Cancer, Medical Research, Prevention, Prostate Cancer

Scientists may have found a better way to predict the eventual onset of prostate cancer. Men who have not yet reached the age of 50 can now be tested with a single PSA test which may help to determine if they will develop the cancer later on. Early treatment could then be initiated and prevention of this form of cancer could be increased.
The reason for this renewed hope in the PSA test s a comes from a promising group of test results whcih was indicated by a group of men whose blood sample were analyzed between the years of 1974 and 1986. Later, in 1999, 161 men from the original group were shown to have avoided the diagnosis of cancer and evidence suggests that the PSA test was a reliable indication of this before the fact. Sixty-six percent of advanced cancers were capable of being identified early on as these men all had a PSA level in the top 20 percent. The average length of time from blood test to a diagnosis of cancer was 17 years which would give ample time to implement preventative measures.
Further studies in this area have, at the very least, become justified by the results of the earlier study and this could result in further confirmation in the future. Eventually, it could be determined that targeted screenings in men who are especially high-risk could help physicians to identify those men who would benefit from preventative measures.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men. Over 27,000 men died from it in 2006 and it is estimated that there will be over 230,000 new cases diagnosed in 2008. If the PSA test proves to be effective, this could be a giant leap in a bright new future for many individuals.

Supermarket to offer in-store GP

Sainsbury's is believed to be the first supermarket to host GPs
Patients will soon be able to pick up some shopping on a visit to their GP.
A supermarket in Greater Manchester is believed to be the first in England to offer doctor appointments.

Doctors from three different surgeries will work from a consulting room at a Sainsbury's store in Heaton Park, near Prestwich, from next month.

Specialist services

Trust chief executive Dr Sandy Bradbrook said this plan will allow GPs to do more for their patients.

"When people walk into the new centre they get all the right level of service and greetings. "They can see their own doctor because they're registered with that doctor.

"But they have access in those facilities, and their doctor has access to a wider range of services which might include mental health, other specialist services, diagnostic services, which is taking bloods, maybe taking x-rays, or ultrasound."

Mediwatch (MDW:AIM) Finals PTP: -0.8m (-1.4m) Divi: n/a (n/a)

Losses narrowed and revenues increased thanks to an extensive sales and marketing campaign following the integration of new products acquired from Medtronic. The contribution of the US sales, marketing and distribution division also helped to boost revenues.

The year also saw the group increase its global sales network to 70 distributors and obtain CE approval for PSAwatch and its Bioscan reader system for the diagnosis of prostate disease. Mediwatch is continuing to work towards achieving FDA approval for PSAwatch.

Going forward, the company says it is entering an exciting period, but the main challenge will be to ensure it has the resource and capability to match the anticipated demand for the growing product range. Mediwatch was recently subject to takeover talk, although the group now says that it is no longer in such discussions. The shares slipped to 10.5p.

Shares says: Continuing progress in the US will be key to future growth.

Why Men in the United Kingdom Still Want the Prostate Specific Antigen Test - Abstract

Friday, 22 February 2008

why men in the United Kingdom still want the prostate specific antigen test

Thursday, 28 February 2008

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - A report in the December, 2007 issue of Urology by Dr. Okotie and the group of Dr. William Catalona suggests the digital rectal examination (DRE) remains an important element of prostate cancer (CaP) screening. The group performed the study, as others have suggested that DRE is no longer necessary to CaP screening. For example, the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer states that a prostate biopsy should be offered for a PSA level of >3.0ng/ml but omits DRE.

From Dr. Catalonas database of 36,000 men participating in CaP screening between 1989 and 2001, 3,568 (10%) were diagnosed with CaP. Prior to 1995 a PSA level >4.0ng/ml and after 1995 a PSA level >2.5g/ml was the indication for prostate biopsy. The other indication has always been a DRE suspicious for CaP. Among men who had a prostate biopsy due to a suspicious DRE, 18% were diagnosed with CaP. Of the 3,568 men diagnosed with CaP, 2,233 underwent radical prostatectomy. Of the men treated with surgery, 303 (14%) were diagnosed with CaP by DRE alone, 1,426 (64%) on the basis of PSA, and 504 (22%) due to abnormalities in both the PSA and DRE.

Among men diagnosed with CaP due to an abnormal DRE alone who underwent surgery, 60 (20%) were non-organ confined, 56 (20%) had Gleason score 7 or higher, 49 (16%) had positive surgical margins, 8 (3%) had seminal vesicle invasion and 4 (1.3%) had lymph node metastasis. Comparing these pathologic features to CaP detected due to abnormalities in both PSA and DRE findings revealed that adverse pathology was significantly more likely if both the PSA and DRE were abnormal, compared to either test alone. The 10 year progression-free survival rate was 83%, 82%, and 63% for CaP detected by DRE only, PSA only, and both PSA and DRE, respectively. Overall survival and cancer-specific survival were also significantly higher for CaP detected by an abnormality on only DRE or PSA compared to both tests.

This data supports a role for both DRE and PSA in CaP screening.

Well,the two reports below explain all and why I'm very confident in MDW's continued success although another Edison research note wouldn't go a miss!

http://www.mediwatch.com/images/pdf/Annual_Report_2007.pdf

http://www.mediwatch.com/images/pdf/Update240707.pdf

A bit of an up-day,so far :-)

That's a better post Banjo, nice and simple, keep 'em coming...up...up..up :-))

lol opto

a levelling day!

From February's Results to July's Interims along with any happenings inbetween are key to gaining further investment interest in MDW in my opinion.The Results showed a profit for H2 2007 (a first) with the future looking very bright as the global distribution network kicks in.

I am still expecting news of deals struck and or sales gained from the Arab Health event from earlier this year.............rightly or wrongly-lol

Nice little up-day :-)

The training courses for distributors and end users have already started for UK/Europe with Asia following in April:

Edison Research Report out today and makes very good reading:

http://www.edisoninvestmentresearch.co.uk/research/category/Mediwatch/

A few things to point out that were posted over on t'dark side:

The Edison Research Note is now on the MDW website:

http://www.mediwatch.com/ResearchNotes.php


Looks like if you click on the 'last update' ie the date part it takes you directly to latest update (found bottom right on home page)

http://www.mediwatch.com/


If you open up 'Disposables' there is now a PDF catalogue that looks very impressive although some of the pictures made me cross me legs...ouch!

http://www.mediwatch.com/images/pdf/Medi_Dis_LoRes.pdf

Interesting to read Edison's view on consumables:

'We expect such products to represent an increasing share of revenues over the next two to three years,rising to around 20% of sales"

My view is that we will see this figure much earlier.

Anyway, AVF (France) are selling the full range of consumables along with various MDW systems:
