The main predictive factors of worse outcome in patients with COVID-19 infection hospitalized in temporary COVID hospital.

Introduction: After the Serbian community hospitals had reached their full capacity during the pandemic, new institutions were enrolled into the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) system as temporary COVID hospitals (TCH). These hospitals usually had no intensive care units (ICU) and no possibility to treat severely ill patients. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors at the time of triage that could help identify patients that will require ICU treatment and cannot be treated in a TCH.

45S5Bioglass®-based scaffolds coated with selenium nanoparticles or with poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/selenium particles: Processing, evaluation and antibacterial activity.

In the bone tissue engineering field, there is a growing interest in the application of bioactive glass scaffolds (45S5Bioglass(®)) due to their bone bonding ability, osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. However, such scaffolds still lack some of the required functionalities to enable the successful formation of new bone, e.g.

Effect of gluten-free diet on the growth and nutritional status of children with coeliac disease.

Introduction: Gluten-free diet (GFD) presents the basis of coeliac disease (CD) treatment. If strictly applied, the disorders of the small bowel mucosa and other disease signs rapidly resolve.

Objective: The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of GFD on the growth and nutritional status of children with the classical form of CD.

[Arias icterus--prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by breast milk].

Introduction: Breast milk jaundice occurs in 1-2% of healthy breast-fed newborns and young infants. It develops as the result of liver immaturity and the inhibitory effect of mother's milk to the clearance of unconjugated bilirubin.

Objective: The paper analyzes variations in the level and length of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in breast-fed infants.

[Variations in the concentration of total human milk proteins in the first month of lactation].

Introduction: Human milk proteins are maximally adapted to physiological needs of a neonate. Thus, depending on the speed of the neonatal growth and development, the content of milk proteins changes, both in quantity and quality.

Objective: The study was conducted in order to determine variations of total protein concentrations in milk in the first and third lactation week in lactating mothers of term and preterm neonates.
