[Statement by the Commission on Youth Welfare Services of the Child and Adolescent Professional Societies on Integration Assistance according to Section Paragraph 35a SGB VIII].

Paragraph 35a SGB VIII of the German Social Code (assistance for minors with mental illness) in practise creates difficulties for child and adolescent psychiatrists. Uncertainty prevails with regard to the role of the child and adolescent psychiatrist in the course of the proceedings, as well as about his/her duties and rights, and how to structure collaboration with the youth services and the parents. The Commission for the Youth Welfare Services of the German societies of child and adolescent psychiatry has generated guidelines for the proceedings according to paragraph 35a SGB VIII in order to resolve recurrent questions.

In vivo release of neurotransmitters in the medial basal hypothalamus of the monkey.

In vivo release rates of norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), dopamine (DA), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (GLU) and beta-endorphin (beta E) in the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) of unanaesthetized female macaca fascicularis monkey, and the effects thereon of estrogen (E2) treatment, have been estimated using push-pull perfusion methodology. DA, NE, E, GABA, GLU and beta E were all detectable in 30 min perfusate fractions. No direct correlation between their release rates and those of LH and PRL could be observed.
