Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for retrieving a record from a database containing a plurality of records, each record containing at least a record entry that can be sorted according to at least one sort criterion. The method of the invention comprises the following steps : 
- sorting the records according to the sort criterion applied on the record entries; 
- dividing the plurality of records into groups, each group containing at least two records, the first record of the group being the header record; 
- extracting the header record of each group to create an index list; 
- associating two consecutive header records of the index list to create a first selection item; 
- defining a second selection item by associating two consecutive header records, the first header record of the second selection item being the second header record of the first selection item; 
- displaying the first and second selection items by displaying each header records once, thus defining three header records, the first selection item being the result of grouping the first and the second header records, the second selection item being the result of grouping the second and the third header records, 
- choosing a selection item by the user; 
- retrieving from the records database, the records belonging to the group defined by the chosen selection item first header record, and adding to the retrieved records, the second header record of said selection item; 
- choosing a record from the retrieved records.

Abstract: The use of a mixture of enantiomers of Milnacipran and/or its metabolites or salts, enriched in the dextrorotatory enantiomer F2695, is claimed in medicines for treating pathological disorders treated by the double inhibition of serotonin and noradrenaline recapture, while limiting the risk of cardiovascular disturbance. ACTIVITY : Antidepressant; Muscular-Gen; Immunomodulator; Analgesic; Antiinflammatory; Uropathic; Antiaddictive. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Serotonin inhibitor; Noradrenaline recapture inhibitor. In tests used to determine the capture of noradrenaline and serotonin and the binding of paroxetine in rats, results showed that F2695 was twice as active as the racemic mixture (F2207) and 25 times as active as the levorotatory enantiomer (F2696) in the capture of noradrenaline, that F2695 was three times as active as F2207 and 12 times as active as F2696 in the capture of serotonin and that F2695 was twice as active as F2207 and 10 times as active as F2696 in binding paroxetine.
