Introduction
The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has made a serious public threat worldwide. The first case in the Republic Croatia was reported on 25th February 2020 and the first case in Psychiatric hospital Ugljan was diagnosed on 3rd December 2020. To maximize protection and prevent spreading to other patients, COVID-infected-individuals were isolated. This poster will describe treatment outcomes of COVID 19 in Psychiatric hospital Ugljan.
ObjectivesThis rapid review summarizes outcomes of COVID-19 infected psychiatric patients with mild disease severity to provide synthesized evidence to support policy decision making.
MethodsPubMed, Medline, PsychINFO were systematically searched from January 2021 for COVID-19, with studies describing epidemiology, treatment and outcomes in various long-term care facilities. Studies were excluded if they did not report clinical evidence.
ResultsIn the time of COVID-19 breakthrough in psychiatric hospital, in December 2020 328 patients were hospitalized of whom 44 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection: of 307 hospitalized patients in January 2021 36 tested positive for SARS CoV-2. By that time, there were no treatment options available, so we focused on repurposing efficacy of the currently used drugs. Five patients needed admission to ICU, we reported one death from coronavirus disease 2019 in that period.
ConclusionsThe COViD-19 pandemic has highlighted extreme vulnerability of psychiatric patients who reside in long-term care psychiatric hospitals and there is an urgent need for evidence-based policy that can protect adequately psychiatric patients.

A pyridine-vermiculite complex has been investigated by three dimensional X-ray diffraction techniques. The preparation of the complex was carried out at a pH ∼ 4 using a solution of pyridinium hydrochloride. Exsolved magnesium from the octahedral positions satisfied approximately one-half of the cation exchange capacity. The rest of the exchange capacity is satisfied by hydrogen ions and pyridinium ions which are statistically distributed over crystallographic sites so that less than three electrons per Å3 are present at any given point. Three dimensional difference electron density maps did not locate the carbon atoms except to indicate that the organic molecule occupies positions in the true and in the two pseudo mirror planes in the unit cell. Water molecules were present in the interlayer in octahedral arrangement around the cation as in the natural mineral.

Objective
To examine the use of vitamin D supplements during infancy among the participants in an international infant feeding trial.
DesignLongitudinal study.
SettingInformation about vitamin D supplementation was collected through a validated FFQ at the age of 2 weeks and monthly between the ages of 1 month and 6 months.
SubjectsInfants (n 2159) with a biological family member affected by type 1 diabetes and with increased human leucocyte antigen-conferred susceptibility to type 1 diabetes from twelve European countries, the USA, Canada and Australia.
ResultsDaily use of vitamin D supplements was common during the first 6 months of life in Northern and Central Europe (>80 % of the infants), with somewhat lower rates observed in Southern Europe (>60 %). In Canada, vitamin D supplementation was more common among exclusively breast-fed than other infants (e.g. 71 % v. 44 % at 6 months of age). Less than 2 % of infants in the USA and Australia received any vitamin D supplementation. Higher gestational age, older maternal age and longer maternal education were study-wide associated with greater use of vitamin D supplements.
ConclusionsMost of the infants received vitamin D supplements during the first 6 months of life in the European countries, whereas in Canada only half and in the USA and Australia very few were given supplementation.

The formation of stars in proto-galactic clouds can be viewed as two step processes i.e. the fragmentation of proto-galactic clouds and evolution of these fragments into stars. We consider here the latter process, the contraction of protosteller clouds (∼ 1M⊙) which consist of primordial gas. We investigate cooling processes by calculating the radiative transfer of H2 rotational/vibrational lines. We consider clouds in hydrostatic equilibrium as initial conditions. Comparing two timescales, the freefall time and the timescale of quasi-static contraction (∼ tcool, the cooling time) of these clouds, we find that as the clouds contract, the ratio of two timescales tff/tqsc, i.e. the efficiency of cooling, becomes larger even under the existence of cold and opaque envelope. Especially for the fragments of primordial filamentary clouds (tff ∼ tqsc initially), they collapse dynamically in the freefall timescale. This efficiency of cooling is utterly peculiar to the line cooling.
