The science of child and adolescent mental health in Greece: a nationwide systematic review.

Evidence-based information is essential for effective mental health care, yet the extent and accessibility of the scientific literature are critical barriers for professionals and policymakers. To map the necessities and make validated resources accessible, we undertook a systematic review of scientific evidence on child and adolescent mental health in Greece encompassing three research topics: prevalence estimates, assessment instruments, and interventions. We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and IATPOTEK from inception to December 16th, 2021.

Traumatic urethral fistula in a patient with burns.

We report an unusual cause of urethral fistula in a patient with burns. Although such an occurrence is rare, the edematous perineum in patients with burn injuries should be managed carefully to prevent a tear at the penoscrotal junction.

Evaluation of the kinetic mechanism of Escherichia coli uridine diphosphate-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanine ligase.

Initial velocity methods were used to probe the kinetic mechanism of Escherichia coli uridine diphosphate-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanine ligase (UNAM:L-Ala ligase). When the activity (in the forward direction) versus substrate concentration data were plotted in double-reciprocal form, all line patterns were intersecting. The best fit of these data was to the equation for an ordered mechanism with the following parameters: k(cat), 1000 +/- 100 min(-1); Kma, 210 +/- 40 microM; Kmb, 84 +/- 20 microM; Kmc, 70 +/- 15 microM; Kia, 180 +/- 50 microM; Kib, 68 +/- 24 microM.
