Additional information about the Longport scanner for cancer detection and other medical applications - (PanAmerican Healthcorp will be marketing this scanner nationally.) The LDS is a portable high frequency (20 MHz) ultrasound scanner which captures and reproduces images of soft tissue at a high resolution utilizing a lap top computer. The images can be stored in a .bmp file and e-mailed to an off site diagnostic center for interpretation. Included in the imaging process is the ability to produce a fractal analysis of any portion of the imaged tissue for objective interpretation. Scans can be compared in a tile format with up to six (6) scans viewed at one time. The LDS has demonstrated positive use in the field of wound management as well as identifying potential for pressure ulcer development. The potential use of the LDS is being explored in the field of Dermatology with Thomas Jefferson University performing a study for the detection of satellite nodules or in-transit metastases in patients with malignant melanoma and skin changes in reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Additional studies are targeted for pressure ulcer development and prevention, detection of radio-opaque foreign bodies, sports medicine, rehabilitation of patients with known breast pathology, veterinarian applications, burns and associated treatment modalities to determine efficacy of a variety of wound products and other studies designed to produce information of a variety of conditions affecting soft tissue.

I can relate. I lost both my sister and niece to cancer two years ago. It sounds like the Longport soft tissue scanner is an important piece of medical technology that will save lives and be desired by the medical community. Marketing this device seems like a solid business decision for Pan American. Not only has the cost of health care skyrocketed, but the cost of insurance has risen enormously. There is a large segment of the population whose income is too high for federal/state benefits, but who can't afford the premiums of most health care providers. POWERx is providing a much needed service to an overlooked niche in the health care market. As for the strange volume and manipulation going on with the stock, it's all guesswork right now. I'm going to practice patience with this. IMO, If the POWERx and other divisions generate half the revenues that I think, I will win the bet. Scottey
