| Isolagen Initiates Phase III Clinical Program To Investigate Isolagen Therapy(TM) For The Treatment Of Acne Scars
Isolagen(TM), Inc. (Amex: ILE) announces the initiation of a Phase III clinical program to investigate Isolagen Therapy(TM) for the treatment of moderate to severe acne scars. Isolagen also has a pivotal Phase III clinical program underway to evaluate the Isolagen Therapy in treating nasolabial folds, or wrinkles.
"Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from acne which often scars, a condition that can be very distressing and difficult to treat as there are few options currently available," said Nicholas L. Teti, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Isolagen. "We are pleased to be initiating this important clinical development program which we believe will address this largely unmet medical need."
Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Isolagen Therapy in patients with moderate to severe acne scarring on both sides of the face.

Simple tips for treating cats with feline acne
Mrs. Walsh brought her kitty Madeline to the office for an examination. She was very concerned because there were sores on Madeline's chin that resembled acne. Upon examination I determined that, in fact, this was "Feline Acne". Mrs. Walsh was quite anxious. She was surprised that her 16-year-old kitty had acne. I told her this was not the type of acne that teenagers get, rather it was a kind that cats get when they eat or drink from a plastic or ceramic bowl. The problem occurs as a result of a cat's chin coming into contact with the porous surface of a bowl. The tiny pits in the bowl hold facial oils. These oils are irritating to the skin. The result is some cats develop acne on their chin. Not every cat that eats or drinks from this type of bowl develops acne just like not every teenager develops acne.

Medicis revenue climbs 45%
Despite new competition for Restylane, its star performer, Scottsdale drug maker and marketer Medicis boosted revenue 45 percent in the quarter that ended Sept. 30 compared with third-quarter 2006 numbers. The companys bottom line got a big boost from two relatively new acne products, Solodyn and Ziana, CEO Jonah Shacknai said Wednesday in a conference call with analysts. And wrinkle-filler Restylane continued to be a strong market leader even though Medicis rival Allergan launched a similar product earlier this year. Shacknai credited TV commercials and other direct-to-customer marketing with significantly boosting Restylane Web traffic and creating new business. The short-term future looks so good Shacknai upped annual earnings estimates to $1.22 from the $1.12 he predicted at the beginning of the year.

Albuquerque Public Schools program tutors ill, injured students
When Danielle Walling tells her Sandia High classmates about the small Nerf football on her lung, she's not playing games. The 17-year-old junior has an abscess the size of the popular toy on her left lung. Its discovery and the pneumonia that hospitalized her kept her out of school since late September. But on Oct. 19 while she was still in the hospital, schoolwork came to her, courtesy of John Garcia, one of 10 roving teachers in Albuquerque Public Schools who daily tutor about 55 students too ill or injured to attend classes. About three decades ago, the district assigned a handful of teachers to tutor hospitalized and homebound children, hence the program name Home Hospital. Except for two or three years in the early 1980s when the program was disbanded, these traveling teachers each tutored four or five students daily, said Loretta Garcia, a district administrator who has worked with them for 25 years.
