Abstract
The Greek mental health system has been undergoing radical reforms for over the past twenty years. In congruence with trends and practices in other European countries, Greek mental health reforms were designed to develop a community-based mental health service system. The implementation of an extensive transformation became possible through the "Psychargos" program, a national strategic and operational plan, which was developed by the Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity. The Psychargos program was jointly funded by the European Union by 75% of the cost over a period of 5 years and the Greek State. After the period of 5 years, the entire cost of the new services became the responsibility of the Greek National Budget. Over the years the Psychargos program became almost synonymous with the deinstitutionalisation of long term psychiatric patients with the development of a wide range of community mental health services. The Psychargos program ended in December 2009. This article presents the views of service providers and service users as part an ex-post evaluation of the Psychargos program carried out in 2010. Data derived for this part of the evaluation are from the application of the qualitative method of focus groups. The outcomes of the study identified several positive and noteworthy achievements by the reforms of the Greek mental health system as well as weaknesses. There was considerable similarity of the views expressed by both focus groups. In addition the service users' focus group emphasized more issues related to improving their mental health wellbeing and living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema is a rare autosomal dominant disease, and its correlation between genotype and phenotype seems not to exist. So far, there are very few studies on Chinese population. We aimed to establish a Chinese genetic database of hereditary angioedema and investigated the potential correlation between genotype and phenotype. METHOD All the eight exons and intron-exon boundaries of C1 inhibitor gene were detected in 48 unrelated families with HAE. The correlations between genotype and clinical parameters were evaluated by R statistical software. RESULTS Thirty-five different mutations (25 of them were novel) and 7 SNPs (3 of them were novel) were identified. Significant difference was found in the level of C1 inhibitor antigen (P = 0.01793) between different groups of mutational types. The correlation between different groups of mutational types and the level of C1 inhibitor antigen (0.5047, P = 0.00027) was significant. The different groups of mutational types showed neither difference nor correlations of clinical parameters (severity score and the level of C1 inhibitor function). CONCLUSION It appears that nonsense, frameshift, and mutations on Arg466 can cause lower level of C1 inhibitor antigen than missense and in-frame mutations; however, it does not affect severity of symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of staff perceptions of daily work pressures on burnout requires further exploration because both issues may be adversely affecting the quality of staff interactions with service users. OBJECTIVES To use a model of 'stakeholder involvement' to develop and test a self-report instrument capturing nursing staff perceptions of the daily pressures of working in acute in-patient mental health wards. DESIGN Measure development followed a participatory methodology, followed by psychometric testing of the new measure of the daily pressures of working on an acute ward (VOTE). SETTINGS Acute in-patient wards in an inner London mental health trust. PARTICIPANTS All nursing staff from acute in-patient settings are eligible for this study. In total 376 staff (qualified nurses and healthcare assistants) were involved at the various stages of measure development and testing. METHODS Focus groups of nursing staff met to discuss their perceptions of acute wards. A twenty item measure was generated through thematic analysis of these data and staff feedback. Reliability and validity were tested and the effects of demographic characteristics on VOTE, and VOTE on burnout were examined. RESULTS Staff found VOTE easy to understand and complete. Test-retest reliability and the internal consistency of the measure and subscales were good. A test of criterion validity showed that staff with negative perceptions of the daily pressures of the working on an acute ward also had negative perceptions of job satisfaction and high levels of burnout. Regression modelling showed that VOTE had a significant effect on burnout. CONCLUSIONS VOTE is a concise measure which combines aspects of care provision as well as the organisational and professional stressors of acute ward working. VOTE can be used to further explore how staff perceptions of the daily pressures of acute ward working affect the quality of care delivered.

Abstract
Angioedema owing to hereditary deficiency of C1 inhibitor (HAE) is a rare, life-threatening, disabling disease. In the last 2 years, the results of well-designed and controlled trials with existing and new therapies for this condition have been published, and new treatments reached the market. Current guidelines for the treatment for HAE were released before the new trials and before the new treatments became available and were essentially based on observational studies and expert opinion. To provide evidence-based HAE treatment guidelines supported by the new studies, a conference was held in Gargnano del Garda, Italy, from September 26 to 29, 2010. The meeting hosted 58 experienced HAE expert physicians, representatives of pharmaceutical companies and representatives of HAE patients' associations. Here, we report the topics discussed during the meeting and evidence-based consensus about management approaches for HAE in adult/adolescent patients.
