Abstract
In Langzeitstudien bei drei endogen-depressiven Patientinnen wurde der circadiane Verlauf der Körpertemperatur während der Depression, im beschwerdefreien Intervall und während einer manischen Episode untersucht. Die Daten wurden zu bestimmten Tageszeiten von den Patientinnen selbst erhoben mittels oraler Temperaturmessung. Die mathematische Analyse erfolgte mit Methoden der digitalen Signalverarbeitung durch das interaktive Computerprogrammsystem TIMESDIA und zeigt folgende Ergebnisse: Eine Periodenlänge von 24h wird unabhängig von der Befindlichkeit eingehalten. Während der Depression und während der Manie fand sich jedoch eine erhöhte Variabilität der Tagesgänge, die durch Phasenwinkeländerungen von höheren Harmonischen der Grundfrequenz zustande kommt. In long term studies on three endogenous depressive female patients, the circadian course of body temperature has been observed during depressive and manic episodes as well as during the intervals. The patients measured their oral temperature regularly, several times a day. The mathematical analysis, carried out with methods of digital signal processing using an interactive computer program system TIMESDIA, showed the following results: A period length of 24 h, independent on the state of mood. During depression and during mania, however, a greater variability of the daily temperature pattern was found, which resulted from changes of the phase relationship of higher harmonics.Keywords
