Practice Guideline[Statement of the Professional Committee on Psychiatry of BVÖGD on the Amendment of the PsychKGs of the Federal States].
It is strongly recommended to establish mental health laws in every state. By these laws, outpatient services have to be dedicated to avoiding involuntary hospitalisations. ⋯ To this end, the role of sociopsychiatric services in service coordination has to be strengthened and comprehensive community mental health organisations have to be established in every city or county. At state level, Councils on Mental Health need to be implemented by state government, mental health reporting, especially on rates of involuntary hospitalisations (by federal as well as state law) has to be established and visiting committees need to extend their scope to all institutions and services that play a role in prevention or aftercare of involuntary hospitalisation.

[Human exposures to veterinary medicines reported to the Poisons Information Centre Erfurt from 2003 to 2012].
The purpose of this study was to get information on all human exposures to veterinary medicines (HEVM) reported to the Poisons Information Centre (PIC) over a 10-year period. ⋯ In comparison to other HE, HEVM are rare. Most accidental HEVM in laymen result only in none to mild symptoms. If veterinary surgeons, however, swallow or inject products for animal euthanasia or opioids in suicidal intention, severe symptoms can be expected.
