Among brief psychotherapies of depression, cognitive therapy, a theoretical model which was proposed by A.T. Beck as early as the sixties, holds that depression comes from a distorted view of the environment: depressed patients view themselves, the world and the future negatively (cognitive triad). This conception is based upon cognitions, preconscious schemes and faulty information processing, that cognitive therapy corrects, using in a pragmatic way cognitive and behavioral techniques requiring an active collaboration of the patient. Cognitive therapy is indicated, alone or combined with anti-depressants, in neurotic depressions (DSM-II) and in most of major depressions (DSM-III) treated on an outpatient basis. Comparative outcome studies prove the effectiveness of cognitive therapy.
Measles, mumps, and rubella-specific IgG antibodies were evaluated in 134 healthy infants routinely immunized with trivalent live attenuated measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine at one year of age. Blood samples were collected just before, and at 1, 3, and 12 months after MMR. Specific IgG was measured by commercial enzyme immunoassays. Before vaccination, 98.5%, 99.2%, and 98.5% of the infants tested were seronegative for measles, mumps, and rubella, respectively. One year after MMR, 16.4% and 22.4% of vaccinees lacked demonstrable antibody to measles and mumps while none were found to be seronegative for rubella. Response profile analysis revealed primary failure rates of 12.1% (measles) and 8.6% (mumps) while 4% (measles) and 13.8% (mumps) of the infants responded initially but became seronegative within one year. These observations suggest that earlier administration (at age 18 months) of the second dose of MMR may be more desirable than revaccination at school entry.
