[The influence of one's birthday on one's help-seeking behavior].

For 500 patients the date of the initial telephone contact for registration with a psychotherapeutic institution was considered in respect to the patients birthdays. With a supposed prohability of an even distribution between .10 and .20 a trend was observed showing that less than the expected percentage of patients made these contacts in the last two months preceding their birthdays whereas more patients than expected did so within the first two months after their birthdays.

[Changes in immunoreactivity dependent on psychic stresses - animal experiments].

White NMRI-mice, separated according to sex, after different pretreatments (isolation, isolation combined with light deprivation, crowding) were exposed to an experimental infection with E. coli. Compared to the respective control groups. The cumulative post-infectious mortality was significantly higher among the male test subjects in the isolation and the crowding experiments, whereas the female mice showed increased mortality after pre-treatment which isolation in combination with light deprivation. The results are discussed and compared to other findings in the literature.

[Studies on the influence of psychological factors on the immune system: the result of infantile stimulation on the disease course in neonatal mice with bacterial infection].

NMRI mice of both sexes were, from the first to the tenth day of life, either stimulated by means of handling, or sensorically, or not stimulated at all (the control group). On the tenth day of life, they were separated from their mothers, inoculated intraperitoneally with E.coli O 111 and subsequently subjected to a total deprivation of food and water. The handling-group animals died significantly (1% level) faster than did the sensorically stimulated and the non-treated control group animals. No significant differences could be found in the mortality rates of the last two mentioned groups. After subdividing the animals into five weight classes, a comparative analysis of the three groups showed that the differences in mortality were independent of body weight. The significance of these first animal experiment data on the influence of early experience on the course of infectious diseases in childhood is discussed.

[Influence of psychological factors on the immune system. Changes in susceptibility to infection after infantile stimulation in relationship to age].

NMRI mice of both sexes and in various stages of the suckling period were handled oncea day for three minutes. They were intraperitoneally infected with E. coli O 111 on the eighteenth day of life. Handling carried out from the first to the 18th day led to a significantly higher mortality (P = 1,4%) as compared to the control animals. Differences in mortality were not observed when the stimulation occurred on the 1st to 10th or 10th to 18th day of life. Weight determination carried out just prior to infection showed no remarkable differences between the experimental groups.
