European Cancer Center Unveils CT Laser Mammography Technology
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec 14, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. ( IMDS ) reported that that the CT Laser Mammography (CTLM(R)) system was officially introduced to the Polish medical community and public at the opening ceremonies of the Center of Prophylactic and Early Cancer Diagnosis at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology on November 16th, 2005, in Gliwice, Poland.
Professor Boguslaw Maciejewski, MD, PhD, FACR, Director of the Institute of Oncology, began the day-long program with a press conference featuring a panel of oncology physicians and industry leaders. The panel stressed the capabilities of the Polish Institute of Oncology, especially the Gliwice Branch, which was recently updated with the latest innovations. Panel member Tim Hansen, IDSI Chief Executive Officer, spoke about the CTLM system's advanced technologies. The interview was followed by a public grand opening conference and ceremony featuring the panel members.
Hosted tours of the Center highlighted many cutting-edge modalities. Several ribbon-cutting ceremonies unveiled advances in MRI imaging, radiation treatment planning, ultrasound, and CT Laser Mammography, among others.
"The Institute of Oncology is our premiere reference site in Europe, featuring two CTLM systems and a significant patient caseload," commented Hansen. "They have completed over 1,500 laser mammography patient studies and serve over 7 million people in their region. Our partnership with the Institute enables us to explore routine diagnostic CTLM imaging as well as applications in oncology. Our research areas involve innovative studies, such as CTLM applicability to estimation of tumor regression rates and local tumor clearance, as well as correlations between CTLM and mammography images with molecular biomarkers. Through our collaboration, we are gaining valuable insights; we look forward to seeing the Center publish their findings."
The ceremony and CTLM debut was broadcast on television and radio stations throughout Poland, along with interviews with Professor Maciejewski that discussed breast studies and new diagnostic and screening capabilities in the Gliwice region. An educational program on new techniques in breast imaging, highlighting the CTLM system, is also being developed, with the help of EDOMED, IDSI's exclusive distributor in Poland. The 30-minute program is scheduled to air on December 22nd on Poland's national television station, TVP1.
The Institute of Oncology, a Comprehensive Cancer Center, has been registered by the Organization of European Cancer Institutes (O.E.C.I.) as a European Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence since 2002.
The CTLM(R) system is the first patented breast imaging system that utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology and patented algorithms to create 3-D cross-sectional images of the breast. It is a non-invasive, painless examination that does not expose the patient to radiation or require breast compression. Imaging Diagnostic Systems has received CE Marking, CMDCAS (Canada), Canadian License, China SFDA approval, UL listing, ISO 9001:2000-13488 certification and FDA export certification for its CT Laser Breast Imaging system. The Company is seeking PreMarket Approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its CTLM(R) system to be used as an adjunct to mammography.

RICHMOND, British Columbia, Dec 09, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ), premier international provider of real-time wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, today announced that the Bulldog MiniBOSS(TM) was again at the center of operations that followed a $250,000 shipment of designer clothing into the heart of a known fencing (buyer of stolen goods) ring. Caught in the reversal, the "Fence" was arrested on the spot and relieved of a substantial sum of cash, once again putting the Department's real-world stamp of approval on the Bulldog solution.
Sources close to the investigation remarked that the Bulldog System effectively levels the playing field for cargo owners, shippers and for law enforcement. "Traditionally and despite substantial information gathering and excellent police work, cargo disappearance has been a game of catch-up with police forces receiving notification hours, days and even weeks after events have occurred. The MiniBOSS(TM) enables proactive action to be taken in protecting shipments and apprehending those who are active in supply-chain theft".
Bulldog also intends to announce the outcome of two FBI sting operations in the near future. Additionally, Bulldog intends to announce the details of a special law enforcement program aimed at ongoing sting operations.
The Bulldog MiniBOSS(TM) is a cellular based true-AGPS covert asset recovery device. It is designed to work in conjunction with Bulldog's web-based software, allowing users to securely track their shipments using a standard PC. Since the MiniBOSS(TM) operates on an AGPS platform, its signal sensitivity is many times that of previous technologies. Additionally, the MiniBOSS(TM) can rely on both cellular tower triangulation and GPS satellite location to pinpoint the location of transportable materials throughout the United States, where cellular service is available.

Bulldog Technologies Inc. -- Product Update from the President
RICHMOND, British Columbia, Dec 07, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ) -- From observing inquiries from investors, it has become apparent that Bulldog Technologies' achievements need to be better understood and as President and CEO, I would like to outline these achievements and draw attention to Bulldog's accomplishments.
Bulldog has truly developed some of the most unique solutions for the cargo industry through using the latest technologies available. During the last ten years companies like Qualcomm have marketed tracking systems for trucks and tractor trailers but have been unable to address the real underlying problem -- security.
Bulldog's latest road unit, the RoadBOSS(TM) GTS, can now secure the cargo door from the outside of the container without breaking the seal. Using Bulldog's web-based software the customer can monitor movement of the truck and trailer in real-time, from point of departure to point of arrival, from their dispatch centre. This is achieved by housing a state of the art GSM/satellite electronics module and military specification energy pack inside the RoadBOSS(TM) GTS. In addition to precision satellite tracking, the GTS unit monitors door openings, vibrational and tilting movement of the trailer when parked, starting and stopping motion among other security based criteria.
The MiniBOSS(TM) allows the tracking of goods or parcels from inside the trailer, allowing a shipper to locate the parcel en route or as soon as it has gone missing. This is done by placing the Unit directly inside a pallet load of goods or parcel. The MiniBOSS(TM) houses assisted GPS technology, allowing it to get its position through GPS satellite and cell tower triangulation. Unlike regular GPS, the proprietary MiniBOSS(TM) technology allows the Unit to receive signals from inside trailers, warehouses and even concrete structures and will give accurate positioning to within twenty meters.
During the seven years that Bulldog has invested in the development of its products, the Company has worked closely with operators of container ports, trucking companies and manufacturing companies. It has become apparent that until Bulldog's arrival, these customers were not able to find adequate cargo security solutions. With Bulldog's BOSS(TM) products, however, not only can these companies track their cargo, they can also track their vehicle all for one low cost. Imagine having a tractor trailer loaded with pallets of expensive goods and then randomly placing hidden tracking devices amongst those pallets. Then imagine that a pallet, a box or even the whole trailer is stolen and you have the ability to track your goods directly to wherever they may have been transported. Whether underground or placed into another container, the stolen goods are able to be located within minutes. In addition, imagine being able to track perishable goods; whether it is produce, dairy or frozen foods, and being able to track the vehicle and protect the goods from being stolen while also monitoring the temperature to ensure stability. This is precisely what Bulldog Technologies Inc. has developed and is the reason for global inquiries from a list of Fortune 50, 100 and 500 companies.
The Company's first three sales were with Fortune 500 companies. Did these companies evaluate other systems prior to installing Bulldog's products? This should be a major indication to not only Bulldog stakeholders and investors but for other customers that do not have the time or money with which to evaluate the many and varied solutions.
Security can be a very delicate issue with Fortune 500 companies and Bulldog is in agreement to not broadcast the fact that the customer has placed security devices within their shipments. Bulldog will mention, however, that a purchase order has been received. In most cases there is an implementation period of two to four weeks to incorporate the security device into a customer's organization. This allows the customer to identify logistics of device management. Bulldog's software has been designed to implement the products in a relatively short period of time.
The MiniBOSS(TM), RoadBOSS(TM) and TankerBOSS(TM) have an airtime residual. As an example: 10,000 MiniBOSS(TM) units would generate up to $500,000 per/month. Add this figure to airtime revenues generated by RoadBOSS(TM) and TankerBOSS(TM) units and the figures are encouraging.
To gage industry reception of Bulldog's BOSS(TM) products, it is important to know that a growing list of insurance companies is providing premium discounts to Bulldog's customers. Moreover, these discounts are substantial and ongoing; effectively paying for the purchase of Bulldog products in short order and letting the customer garner ongoing savings. Bulldog's BOSS(TM) products will become a strong deterrent to perpetrators of cargo loss thereby saving not only money but the irreplaceable asset -- time.
It is important to note that all Bulldog developments are under patent protection. This is also why Kyocera Corp. (the world's largest producer of wireless electronics) has nominated Bulldog for a technology award and sees the company as having achieved a technology and marketing triumph.
Going forward, the success of Bulldog is tied, in part, to being first to market with these technologies. Not only has Bulldog achieved this "first to market" advantage, it has also been able to produce its leading edge security and tracking solutions at price points that are extremely attractive to customers. In addition to internal sales and marketing success, a continuous stream of independent enquiries for Bulldog's products indicates that the Company is on the fast and right track.
I thank you for your continued support.
John Cockburn
President and CEO

CEL-SCI Answers Questions Regarding Testing Agreement With NIH for Drug Against Avian Flu Virus H5N1
VIENNA, Va., Dec 06, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- On December 5, 2005, CEL-SCI CORPORATION ( CVM ) announced that it had signed a Cooperative Agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), an institute of the National Institutes of Health of the U.S. government, to test CEL-SCI's patented anti-infective drug CEL-1000 against the avian (bird) flu virus H5N1 in animal models. The testing will be conducted to determine whether CEL-1000 could be used as a potential treatment and/or preventive agent against this virus.
The December 5th release has resulted in a number of questions from shareholders and the media. Since the questions are fairly uniform, CEL-SCI will attempt to answer them in this release.
1) Who will pay for the tests? The NIH will pay for the tests.
2) If the tests are successful, what will come next? That determination
will be made at that point in time and is not covered by the current
agreement.
3) Will supply of CEL-1000 delay the testing? No, CEL-SCI currently has
adequate amounts of CEL-1000 available for testing.
4) Is manufacturing of this product for the tests and/or potential sale of
the product a problem? No, we have CEL-1000 on hand to do the current
testing. CEL-1000 is produced for CEL-SCI by contract manufacturers.
There are several capable contract manufacturers who could produce and
formulate CEL-1000 into a drug product that meets all of the required
regulations.
5) You state that CEL-1000 is related to your L.E.A.P.S.(TM) technology
which requires a different antigen for each disease. Does CEL-1000
require the avian flu antigen? No, the great attraction of CEL-1000 in
this case is that it has previously been shown to protect animals
against viruses and unrelated diseases without a specific antigen. In
all of these tests, the same peptide was used. It is this lack of
specificity that makes CEL-1000 such an attractive potential therapy
against the changing avian flu virus.
6) How do you envision that your product could potentially be used against
the avian flu? We envision three potential applications. One, as a
preventive, since CEL-1000 was shown to be 100% protective in animal
challenge studies against viruses and unrelated diseases. Two, as a
treatment. Three, as an adjuvant to enhance the immune response to the
current avian flu vaccine being made. There is a clear need to reduce
the amount of antigen required for an immune response per person since
the current facilities cannot produce anywhere close to the amount of
vaccine required. The addition of an adjuvant to the vaccine should
allow for a larger number of vaccine doses with the same amount of
antigen which would expand substantially the number of persons who
could be vaccinated with a protective dose.
7) Why do you think that CEL-1000 might work against the avian flu virus?
CEL-1000 appears to activate innate (very early stage) and Th1 type
(cellular) immune responses to induce a broad-spectrum protection
against infection in animal models. The innate immune system is
generally accepted to be the first line of defense against infectious
agents. We believe that activating innate immunity might also help
against the avian flu virus.
CEL-1000, derived from the beta chain of human MHC-II, is a modified version of a human immune-based protein known to bind to both human and mouse immune cells and appears to act by enhancing the host's protective immune response.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) -- The Nation's Medical Research Agency -- includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.
CEL-SCI Corporation is developing new immune system based treatments for cancer and infectious diseases. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland.

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, an inability to duplicate the clinical results demonstrated in clinical studies, timely development of any potential products that can be shown to be safe and effective, receiving necessary regulatory approvals, difficulties in manufacturing any of the Company's potential products, inability to raise the necessary capital and the risk factors set forth from time to time in CEL-SCI Corporation's SEC filings, including but not limited to its report on Form 10- K for the year ended September 30, 2004. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect the events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CEL-SCI Signs Agreement With U.S. Government Institute for Testing of Drug Against Avian Flu Virus H5N1
VIENNA, Va., Dec 05, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- CEL-SCI CORPORATION ( CVM ) has signed a Cooperative Agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), an institute of the National Institutes of Health of the U.S. government, to test CEL-SCI's patented anti- infective drug CEL-1000 against the avian (bird) flu virus H5N1 in animal models. The testing will be conducted to determine whether CEL-1000 could be used as a potential treatment and/or preventive agent against this virus.
CEL-1000 has previously been shown to be protective in animal challenge studies against viruses and unrelated diseases, specifically herpes simplex virus, viral encephalitis and malaria, and to enhance survival against cancer in animals. CEL-1000 appears to activate innate (very early stage) and Th1 type (cellular) immune responses to induce a broad-spectrum protection against infection in animal models. The innate immune system is generally accepted to be the first line of defense against infectious agents.
Geert Kersten, Chief Executive Officer of CEL-SCI said, "CEL-1000 has been successfully tested in a number of diseases with the support of the U.S. government. We hope that CEL-1000 can activate the immune system to successfully defeat the avian flu virus as it has done against other viruses."

Doctors can't say why it works, but some patients swear by the results.
Robyn Shelton | Sentinel Medical Writer
Posted November 29, 2005
Doctors have cut into Theodore Dippy's heart twice to clear clogged arteries. Other times, they swept aside blockages with tiny balloons and once left a metal stent inside an artery to keep it propped open.
After going through the most common heart procedures available, the Lake County man finally found relief with a little-known treatment that involves squeezing the legs in large cuffs to propel more blood to the heart.
The nonsurgical approach, called Enhanced External Counterpulsation, is viewed with disdain by some cardiologists who question its value because researchers can't say exactly how it helps the heart.
But studies have found that most patients who undergo the treatment have a significant reduction in the chest pain that otherwise might keep them from walking up a flight of stairs or even across the front yard.
"I would say about three-quarters of patients get some benefit from it," says Dr. Andrew Michaels, who has been involved in research on the technique at the University of California at San Francisco. "Most patients can exercise further and have improved quality of life.
"On the negative side, we still don't have a clear understanding of why it works."
The low-tech treatment is carried out during one-hour sessions while the patient lies on a padded table with three large cuffs on each leg -- positioned on the calves, lower thighs and upper thighs.
The cuffs squeeze sequentially up the leg with enough force to jerk the person upward slightly. They only inflate when the heart is not beating, in the moment of rest between each contraction. This is why the treatment is called "counterpulsation."
Patients typically undergo 35 sessions spread across seven weeks, with five treatments per week. And some people require more sessions before they see improvement.
Dippy, 80, says he needs 45 sessions to get relief from his chest pain, or angina, which afflicts an estimated 6.4 million Americans.
He has gone through seven courses of the treatment since 1999. No longer a candidate for surgical procedures, Dippy says he relies on the therapy to keep his heart from further deterioration.
"Whenever my angina starts to get worse, I go in for another dose," Dippy says. "I've gotten to the point where I am pretty familiar with my heart. I know when it needs it."
Method dates to 1950s
Dippy's doctor, cardiologist Ken Kronhaus in Mount Dora, has treated more than 600 patients with Enhanced External Counterpulsation, called EECP for short.
Kronhaus says the therapy dates back to the 1950s, when doctors at Harvard University began experimenting with a water-powered machine to increase pressure on the legs and drive more blood toward the heart. It wasn't successful.
"All this big, hydraulic device did was crimp and crush the legs, and they kind of gave up on it," Kronhaus says.
Decades later, in the 1980s, scientists in both the United States and China began tinkering with the approach again. But it was the Chinese who really ran with it, refining the technology and using it extensively to treat patients in the 1990s.
In the United States, interest grew in the idea after trials began to show potential benefits.
One 1999 study of 5,000 patients worldwide found that 73 percent of those treated had a significant reduction in their angina. What's more, the patients still were enjoying the improvements two years later.
Today, doctors throughout Florida offer the treatments, and prestigious medical centers, including the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, have centers for the procedure.
How does it work?
But the underlying question remains: How does the procedure benefit the heart?
Kronhaus says doctors think the rush of blood from the lower body stimulates hormones and helps create new, tiny vessels in the heart that improve blood flow.
"We all have these hormones, but what this procedure does is enhance the flow back to the heart, increasing the concentration of hormones and stimulating new vessel growth," he says. "It's like growing new branches on the trunk of a tree."
Researchers have been able to document the improved blood flow by doing heart scans on patients before and after treatment to look for changes. Kronhaus says the procedure can nurture new vessel development up to six months after the sessions end.
Despite growing acceptance, the procedure remains a last-resort treatment, only after surgery or other invasive procedures have been deemed too risky.
Medicare began paying for the procedure in 1999, but only when it's used on severe angina patients who have no other options. Other insurers also cover the procedure, which can cost $5,000 to $7,000, for patients in this category. Kronhaus thinks the therapy's image as a last resort keeps it from being used more widely.
Still not widely known
Many doctors, even cardiologists, still have not heard of the treatment.
"I think the main reason stems from a lack of a clear mechanism of benefit," says Michaels, who has worked as a consultant for the company that makes the technology for the procedure, Vasomedical. "It's hard for people to understand why squeezing the legs for 35 hours would reduce angina over the long term."
The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, which jointly issue treatment guidelines for doctors, gave the procedure a lukewarm rating in 2002, saying its usefulness and efficacy are not well-established.
But more studies have been finished in recent years, including one just released in March that showed the treatment also can benefit patients with congestive heart failure. Those who were treated increased their exercise time on a treadmill by about 25 seconds, while time decreased by about 13 seconds in a similar group of patients who did not undergo the therapy.
Doctors who offer the therapy see a trend toward its greater use.
"It doesn't work for everyone, but when it works, it works," says Dr. Arnold Einhorn, a cardiologist with Orlando Regional Medical Center. "I've had people who've had a dramatic improvement in their quality of life."
As a physician himself, Dippy says he approached the therapy with skepticism. But now he knows firsthand how a round of the procedure can reduce his chest pain and help him remain active.
"It works well for me," he says. "It's a whole lot better than surgery and a whole lot better than angina."

The Bellwether Report has identified HealtheUniverse Inc. (OTC:HLUN) and Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (NADAQ:ASTM), as two undervalued companies
Dec 01, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Today the Bellwether Report has identified HealtheUniverse Inc. ( HLUN ) and Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (NADAQ:ASTM), two explosive companies that our analysts will be keeping a close watch on over the next 30 days as they have came out with significant corporate developments this morning.
Healtheuniverse Inc. ( HLUN ), a biotechnology development firm specializing in the development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical and biomedical products, announced today that CEO Vipul Dev, MD and his scientific team have reached the research and development stage of various applications of growth factors, progenitor cell lines, and dressings that promote accelerated wound healing with decreased scarring.
Normal wound repair has been thought to involve the proliferation and migration of local terminally differentiated cell types into the wound from adjacent uninjured tissue. However, recent evidence suggests that coetaneous repair also involves recruitment of non-resident, undifferentiated cells from distant sources, such as fat cells. Populations of progenitor cells have been identified as valuable sources of uncommitted cells that are capable of reconstituting multiple cell types in various tissues, including skin. This population of cells may play a critical role in the induction of tissue regeneration at sites of injury. The ability to manipulate these cells may provide a previously unrecognized means of therapeutic intervention in patients and is the focus of Healtheuniverse research.
"We have achieved several key objectives on research advancement and corporate development," stated Dr. Vipul Dev, MD Chief Executive Officer of Healtheuniverse, Inc. "Foremost, we have aligned the Company's focus on the development of proprietary technoligies, and are now concentrated on a key business area, living wound healing products and bioengineered surgical products."
Bellwether Report was the first to bring its subscribers this small cap Hidden Gem!! HealtheUniverse Inc. traded up over 20% from its open yesterday on extremely strong volume (1.6 million shares). Bellwether Report believes that if HealtheUniverse Inc. can continue this solid business plan and put it into action they should continue to see success.
Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. ( ASTM ) today yesterday it will initiate a human clinical trial for the evaluation of the Company's Tissue Repair Cell (TRC) product to form new bone tissue in the spine. The Phase I/II trial will be conducted under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and initially conducted at a single clinical center, the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI (Beaumont Hospital). Aastrom's TRCs, a proprietary bone marrow-derived adult stem cell product, will be used in posterior-lateral lumbar spinal fusions for treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis. This is the Company's second FDA-approved, human clinical trial for local bone regeneration using TRCs.
This spine fusion clinical trial will be conducted under the direction of Principal Investigator Harry Herkowitz, M.D., Department Chair of Orthopedic Surgery at Beaumont Hospital. Spine fusion is a procedure in which new bone tissue is induced to fuse two or more vertebrae together to treat conditions such as fractures of the vertebrae, or ruptured or lost disks. Current therapy uses surgically transplanted bone tissue, as well as other artificial bone materials and bone growth factors, to induce the growth of new bone tissue. Aastrom proposes to use its TRCs in combination with a carrier matrix to induce sufficient bone growth to fuse or merge two vertebrae in the lower back, and potentially eliminate the requirement for other more invasive or less effective approaches. By stabilizing the spine, this procedure reduces debilitating back pain, and helps a patient regain more normal use of their legs. The primary purpose of this approved clinical trial is to confirm that Aastrom's TRC product, when used as a bone graft, is safe for use in posterior-lateral lumbar spinal fusion surgery, and is able to generate new bone at the fusion site, based on defined radiographic and clinical data.
Aastom Biosciences Inc traded up over 6% yesterday on more than 3 times its average volume following this announcement.

FONAR RSNA2005 Message to Attendees: Upright MRI Imaging Improves Patient Outcome
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ:FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning(TM), reported today results from its exhibition at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago.
Francis W. Smith, M.D. of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and pioneer in the field of magnetic resonance imaging is one of the keynote speakers at the FONAR exhibit. Dr. Smith said, "We have scanned thousands of patients in a multitude of positions and have completed several clinical studies using our FONAR Upright(TM) MRI We routinely scan spines in five positions, - normal, upright, in flexion, in extension, rotation, and laterally - none of which can be duplicated on any other MRI scanner, Our diagnoses are based upon the full complement of information derived from all the important spinal postures, and we subsequently monitor every patient's treatment and progress. I can say unequivocally that Position(TM) imaging improves patient outcome."
Dr. Raymond Damadian, president and founder of FONAR, said, "At this year's RSNA, we are challenging the radiological community with this question: 'Are you missing pathology daily?' Our entire presentation is geared to answer that question with a resounding 'Yes, you are, and the only solution to the problem is the Upright(TM) MRI.' We're displaying many compelling cases where the Upright(TM) has beneficially changed the outcome for the patient, the ultimate object of every medical technology. We are proud of that. At this year's RSNA our team of distinguished professors is presenting lectures demonstrating numerous examples where Upright(TM) weight-bearing imaging has dramatically altered the results being achieved with patients."
This year FONAR is enjoying a premiere location on the floor of RSNA. The Company's 80' x 80' exhibit is among the largest at the show. With some 60,000 in attendance, the RSNA meeting is the largest medical meeting in the world. The mission of the Radiological Society of North America is to promote and develop the highest standards of radiology and related sciences through education and research.
About the Positional MRI Research Centre
The Positional MRI Research Centre operates at Woodend Hospital, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom. The University of Aberdeen has been designated by the European Union (EU) as one of Europe's centers of excellence in medical imaging. This year, the University of Aberdeen celebrated the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the first MRI into regular clinical use at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, then headed by Dr. Francis Smith.
About FONAR
FONAR was incorporated in 1978, making it the first, oldest and most experienced manufacturer of Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging scanners in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MR in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception FONAR has installed over 300 MR scanners worldwide. Its stellar product line features the Upright(TM) MRI (also known as the Stand-Up(TM) MR), the only whole-body MR that performs Position(TM) Imaging (pMRI(TM)) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR Upright(TM) MRI often sees the patient's problem that other scanners cannot because they are lie-down-only scanners. With over 100,000 patients scanned, the patient-friendly Upright(TM) MRI has a near-zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As one Upright(TM) MRI customers puts it, "If the patient is claustrophobic in our Upright(TM) MRI, he'd be claustrophobic in our parking lot," Another user states in his advertising, "Upright MRI - No More Claustrophobia - The Tube is Gone." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching a 42" flat screen TV. FONAR's latest MRI scanner is the FONAR 360(TM), a room-size recumbent scanner that optimizes openness while facilitating physician access to the patient. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York, and has approximately 500 employees.

INSTACARE CORP. REPORTS SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN REVENUES IN THIRD QUARTER
instaCare Corp., (OTCBB:INCA - News) a leading Wi-Fi PDA technology provider to the lodging and satellite media industries, the developer of patent-pending technologies for e-health and EMR applications and the distributor of life-saving prescription drugs, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2005. Highlights of the quarter and recent weeks include:
Revenues grow substantially in third quarter as prescription diagnostic sales ramp up
Operating loss narrows as overhead costs decline
Pharmacy licenses granted in New Jersey, Arizona and North Dakota
instaCare announced that revenues for the third quarter ending September 30, 2005 were $1,007,216, up significantly from $51,670 in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in revenues was due to sales of pharmaceutical supplies and revenues from instaCare ResidenceWare lodging networks as the Company began operations during 2005.
Total expenses for the third quarter of 2005 were $514,139, down 35% from $795,407 for the third quarter of 2004. Lower expenses were primarily due to lower overhead costs and a reduced need for outside service providers and consultants. The Company reported an operating loss of $(460,313), and a net loss of $(873,168), or $(0.0) per basic and diluted share for the third quarter ending September 30, 2005, compared with an operating loss of $(743,737), and a net loss of $(763,537) for the prior year quarter, or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share.
Robert Cox, chief executive officer of instaCare, stated, "We are pleased to see such a strong demand for prescription diagnostics, one of our key products. The fact that we have entered the marketplace only recently and have already generated over $4 million in sales this year validates both our business strategy and our execution. In addition, we have obtained several wholesale and retail pharmacy licenses in geographically dispersed states, which will allow us to build a balanced national distribution network that can serve all regions of the United States economically and efficiently. We now have licenses in New Jersey, Arizona and North Dakota."
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $4,177,454, compared with revenues of $181,108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributed to the Company's commencement of activities in 2005 and subsequent sales activities. Total expenses for the first nine months of 2005 were $2,396,656, down 17% from total expenses of $2,896,518 for the first nine months of 2004. instaCare reported a net loss of $(3,176,098), or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the first three quarters of 2005, compared with a net loss of $3,572,898, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share for the first three quarters of 2004.

Radiologist Buys and Installs The Fifth FONAR Upright MRI In New Jersey and Says To His Patients: ''Upright MRI - No More Claustrophobia - The Tunnel Is Gone''
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning(TM), announced today that it has installed an Upright(TM) MRI in Cherry Hill, New Jersey bringing the total to five installed in New Jersey.
G. Tom Morea, M.D., one of the world's most experienced, fellowship trained MRI radiologists with board certification, said today, "During my twenty-two years as a Radiologist engaged in reading MR images, I have worked on scanners of nearly every MRI manufacturer in the industry. This includes several Siemens, GE, Marconi, Picker, Philips, Shimatsu and even Diasonics MRI's. I have also worked on both low-field Open and high-field Open Hitachi scanners. Now that I have free reign to pick the system that will be best for my patients, I choose FONAR."
Dr. Morea continued, "Although we have only been in operations a few weeks, already our patients and their referring physicians are delighted. It is obvious why our patients are happy, as they are no longer anxious while being scanned in the vertical configuration of this magnet. We have already provided excellent scans on patients who could not be studied on other 'open' MRI's. They were thrilled! That is why we say, Upright MRI - No More Claustrophobia - The Tunnel Is Gone!"
"Our referring physicians have been impressed with the image quality, and commented that the studies are quite comparable to that of a 1.5 Tesla," said Dr. Morea. "In the case of spine studies, we are able to image the fully weight-loaded spine, the only way to optimally assess spine pathology. In the two short weeks we have been scanning, I have already diagnosed disc herniations that were only apparent with flexion or extension and not apparent on neutral views. Evaluating the spine with its weight load removed, as in the case of the recumbent only tunnel MRI, represents an incomplete evaluation of the patient's spine problem."
"I am looking forward to the visualization of shoulder pathology in various views that are possible on the Upright(TM) MR that are not easily obtained on other systems, and to explore weight-bearing studies of the knees and ankles," added Dr. Morea. "Our technologists are also happy with FONAR's Upright(TM) MRI. It is simple to operate and FONAR's application teams are readily accessible for guidance as needed."
Dr. Morea concluded, "I have not been this excited about a new MRI technology for a very long time, and can't wait to put this scanner through its paces."
Upright MRI of Cherry Hill is located at 701 Route 38 East in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The telephone number is (856) 486-9000.
This week from November 27th - December 1st , FONAR is exhibiting at the Technical Exhibit of the 91st Scientific Assembly & Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago. Over 60,000 radiologists, physicians and allied health care professionals from around the world are expected to attend the conference. The FONAR exhibit is among the largest displays at this years RSNA.
About FONAR
FONAR was incorporated in 1978, making it the first, oldest and most experienced MRI manufacturer in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception FONAR has installed over 300 MRI scanners worldwide. Their stellar product line includes the Upright(TM) MRI (also known as the Stand-Up(TM) MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position(TM) imaging (pMRI(TM)) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR Upright(TM) MRI often sees the patient's problem that other scanners cannot because they are lie-down only. With over 100,000 patients scanned, the patient-friendly Upright(TM) MRI has a near zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42" flat screen TV. FONAR's latest MRI scanner is the FONAR 360(TM), a room-size recumbent scanner that optimizes openness while facilitating physician access to the patient. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York, and has approximately 500 employees.

Any time you see a poster making constant negative remarks and trying to downplay all the positive points you can be sure they have a hidden agenda. INCA has been climbing very well this week and that does not sit well with some people. These people may be former shareholders who sold for a loss and just post out of spite (the dumbest use of anyone's time) or they may think they can knock the stock down to where they can buy in cheaper (dishonest and counter-productive since their own posts will work against them after they buy) or they may be true enemies (competitors or short sellers) trying to cause harm any way they can. In any event, any poster that is constantly negative should not be taken seriously.
IDSI Concludes Collaborative Agreement with Schering AG
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., ( IMDS ) announced today that Schering AG has completed the evaluation of their new fluorescence dyes with three modified CT Laser Mammography systems. The loaned systems had been modified to Schering AG's specifications and will be returned to IDSI.
IDSI believes that fluorescence dyes and other vasoactive agents may help improve the cancer detection accuracy of Laser Breast imaging. The company will continue research in this area.

Global ePoint Wins First Airport Order for Digital Surveillance System; Installation Expected to Support Other Airport Sales
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Nov 23, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Global ePoint, Inc. ( GEPT ), a leading manufacturer of security technologies for the aviation, law enforcement, and commercial / industrial markets, today announced that its digital surveillance system has been chosen by the Laughlin/Bullhead City International Airport, which serves a tri-state area centered on southern Nevada. The order will be Global ePoint's first-ever airport installation.
Commenting on the order, Global ePoint CEO Toresa Lou said, "This order carries significance for Global ePoint far beyond its size. Since we plan an aggressive program to pursue opportunities at airports around the world, it will be very helpful to have a working installation that will showcase the advantages of our system, and as such, this installation opens the door to a very large market worldwide." According to the US Department of Transportation, there are more than 5,000 airports in the US that are used by public passengers, and many times that number worldwide. "This is clearly a multi-billion dollar market," said Ms. Lou, "where our products are very well suited and where we have a good opportunity to take a major portion of this market."
"In partnership with John Paskell, Executive Director of the Mojave County Airport Authority, we reviewed the systems that were applicable to airport applications, and concluded that Global ePoint's technology has a number of remarkable features and offers the best performance and value," said Chris Chatwin of University Lock Company, a systems integration firm. "In restricted areas, for example, we can set the system to notify us when any movement takes place and to automatically record that event. Further, the notification can go beyond the video monitoring screens to notify wireless devices that security personnel may carry, such as cell phones, two-way radios, pagers, and hand-held email units. Also, when reviewing recordings, we can zero in on portions of the image area, create a list of the exact times that movement took place, and replay any or all of those events."
Beyond airport surveillance, Global ePoint is also targeting other applications of its digital video technology. "Our surveillance systems have been installed in passenger aircraft, police cars and first responder vehicles, police stations and prisons, banks, retail outlets, restaurants and other commercial applications," added Ms. Lou, "because the same advantages our technology brings to airports are also relevant in these settings".
