Effect of tricyclic antidepressants on individual symptoms.

PubMed (1980)

Amos Welner Zila Welner Eli Robins

Improvements of individual depressive symptoms in patients with depression was compared between those treated with tricyclic antidepressants (TAD) and those treated with other psychoactive drugs or placebo. In the majority of comparisons, patients did not improve significantly more with TAD than with other drugs or placebo. These findings indicated that tricyclic antidepressants are not useful in the treatment of most patients with depression. Despite our findings, it is realized that a minority of patients with depression may benefit by treatment with tricyclic antidepressants.

A CONTROLLED STUDY OF SIBLINGS OF HYPERACTIVE CHILDREN

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1977)

Zila Welner Amos Welner Mark Stewart Helen Palkes Eric D. Wish

A controlled study of siblings of hyperactive boys resulted in the following findings. The hyperactive child syndrome is more common among brothers of hyperactive children than among brothers of controls (26 per cent vs. 9 per cent). Both probands and their brothers presented with more symptoms of depression-anxiety than controls. The probands, but not their sibs, presented with more antisocial symptoms than controls. Although differences in intelligence and achievement scores were found between probands, their sibs, and controls, both intelligence level and academic achievement were within normal limits in all groups.

CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION: AN OVERVIEW

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1978)

Zila Welner

A review of the psychiatric literature on childhood depression indicates confusion in the basic concept of depressive illness in childhood. There is no general agreement on criteria for childhood depression. The diagnosis of depression in childhood is being based on clinical impression, arbitrarily selected criteria, or on a favorable response to treatment with antidepressants. There is no distinction between primary and secondary depression. The diagnosis of "masked depression" is given to children with a wide range of different problems, bassed on the hypothesis that depression in childhood can be manifested by clinical symptomatology quite distinct from that found in adults. However, recent studies do not support this hypothesis. Most studies on childhood depression include a wide range of children in spite of the fact that from the data available in current literature it seems justified to distinguish between the different age groups of children, mainly the prepubertal and the adolescent groups.

Increase in Titer of Rabbit Anti‐Human Serum after Addition of Normal Rabbit Serum

Vox Sanguinis (1964)

David Nelken Zila Welner

Summary Normal rabbit serum or rabbit globulin added to immune rabbit anti‐human serum caused a marked titer increase of the immune serum. This titer increase revealed by precipitation experiments and titrations with antibody coated erythrocytes was specific and caused only by normal rabbit serum. The possible significance of this observation with regard to anti‐antibody formation in the rabbit is discussed. Résumé Le sérum normal de lapin ajouté au sérum immun de lapin anti‐sérum humain provoque une augmentation marquée du titre de l'immun sérum. Cette augmentation du titre mise en évidence par des expériences de précipitation et de titration avec des érythrocytes revêtus d'anticorps est spécifique et est provoquée uniquement par le sérum de lapin normal. La signification possible de cette observation en rapport avec la formation d'anti‐anticorps chez le lapin est discutée. Zusammenfassung Bei Zumischung von normalem Kaninchenserum zu Kaninchen‐Anti‐Humanserum wird der Titer des letzteren erhüht. Diese Titererhühung, die sowohl durch Prä‐zipitation als auch durch Agglutination antikürperbeladener Erythrozyten nachweisbar ist, erwies sich insofern als spezifisch, als sie nur durch normales Kaninchenserum hervorgerufen wird. Die Bedeutung dieser Beobachtung im Hinblick auf die Bildung von Anti‐Antikürpern beim Kaninchen wird diskutiert.

PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN CHILDREN OF INPATIENTS WITH DEPRESSION: A CONTROLLED STUDY

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1977)

Zila Welner Amos Welner M DONALD McCRARY Mary Ann Leonard

One quarter of 29 parents hospitalized for depression had children with episodes of depression (eight out of a total of 75 children). None of the children in 41 families with well parents had episodes of depression (a total of 152 children). The differences were significant at the .01 level. It is suggested that symptoms "equivalent" to depression such as hyperactivity, deviant behavior, and learning difficulties are not required in establishing clinical depression in childhood. The methodological shortcomings in this study were discussed.
