Pharmacology Research Institute is Now Enrolling Patients for Study of New Treatment for Depression Now screening patients for enrollment in Phase III clinical trials for agomelatine, a novel investigational treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). This Clinical Trial Program, called parAGOn, is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation and will include both short-term and long-term efficacy studies. More than 2,000 patients and 200 study centers in the United States will participate in the parAGOn program, which is open to patients between the ages of 18 and 70 who are experiencing MDD and meet other eligibility criteria. This investigational new drug targets both melatonergic receptors and the serotonin (5-HT2c) receptor. MDD is the most common mood disorder, affecting approximately 15 million American adults. Common symptoms include: depressed mood, loss of interest in daily activities, poor concentration, weight loss (or gain), decrease of appetite, sleep disturbance, feelings of worthlessness and/or of guilt, and suicidal ideation. Episodes of depression may be chronic and recurrent. Contact Dr. Daniel E. Grosz at 818.705.7450 for more information about the parAGOn Clinical Trial Program. www.priresearch.com/depression.asp Today in History * The image of “Uncle Sam”, a symbol of America, was first used.

Referred by Jens List member tlaw79@yahoo.com “I have been so incredibly thrilled with my experience with Malibu Presbyterian Nursery School that I wanted to share that they still have a few spots left open. My older son has been there for two years and is off to elementary school but we are now about to send our youngest there as well. Cindy Ludwig who has been the director there for nearly 30 years is the sweetest lady and has always made me and my family feel like we are all family there at the school. She is head of a staff of wonderfully nurturing and educated teachers who truly want to be with your preschoolers. I’ve had friends who have switched preschools and never felt completely safe or content with the experience their child was having. I can honestly say that I have never had a single doubt that choosing Malibu Presbyterian Nursery School for my child’s first school setting is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Log onto http://www.malibupres.org/preschool/about/ to find out more about the school. There are a few spots left and I cannot urge you enough to give this school some serious thought. Call the school’s director, Cindy Ludwig at cludwig@malibupres.org or call 310-456-6615 for more info!” Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States At Heart® is a unique patented dispenser that provides the fastest possible access to an emergency dosage of aspirin.
