Abstract: A method is provided for treating depression, and particularly major depression,by administering an effective amount of an SSRI medication that is augmented by administering an effective amount of an amphetamine prodrug, such as lisdexamfetamine, to patients receiving an SSRI medication. In particular, the amphetamine prodrug is administered to augment the effects of an SSRI medication in patients who respond poorly to the effects of the SSRI medication.

Abstract: Systems and methods to obtain an ultrasonic image of a large detection area are disclosed. A system includes a source of ultrasound generating ultrasonic energy and projecting the ultrasonic energy from a projecting end and an adapter interfaced to the projecting end and ultrasonically coupling the source of ultrasound to a first surface of the structure to be imaged at an adjustable angle of incidence. A method includes ultrasonically coupling a source of ultrasonic energy to a first surface of a structure to be imaged with an adapter, the adapter adjustable to a select a first angle of incidence and a second angle of incidence, projecting ultrasonic energy into the structure, and detecting a reflected acoustic energy from the structure with an ultrasound camera. A first angle of incidence is selected to introduce a longitudinal wave into the structure, and a second angle of incidence is selected to introduce a shear wave into the structure.
