Workplace Violence in Mental Health: A Victorian Mental Health Workforce Survey.

The international literature suggests workplace violence in mental health settings is a significant issue, yet little is known about the frequency, nature, severity and health consequences of staff exposure to violence in Australian mental health services. To address this gap, we examined these aspects of workplace violence as reported by mental health services employees in Victoria, Australia. The project used a cross-sectional, exploratory descriptive design.

Selective non zinc binding inhibitors of MMP13.

Directed screening has identified a novel series of MMP13 inhibitors that possess good levels of activity whilst possessing excellent selectivity over related MMPs. The binding mode of the series has been solved by co-crystallisation and demonstrates an interesting mode of inhibition without interaction with the catalytic zinc atom.
