Research on 3D Printing of Metal Medical Implants at PTE
A modern technológia folyamatosan új lehetőségeket teremt az orvosi eszközök és implantátumok előállításában. A hagyományos gyártási módszerek, mint az öntés és a felületi megmunkálás, mellett egy új, forradalmi megoldás kezd teret hódítani: a 3D nyomtatás. Ez a technológia nem csupán a gyártás hatékonyságát növelheti, hanem a költségeket és a gyártási időt is jelentősen csökkentheti. Az orvosi területen, ahol a precizitás és a megbízhatóság kulcsfontosságú, a 3D nyomtatás különösen ígéretes lehetőségeket kínál. Innovative Solutions in Metal Printing The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Pécs, in collaboration with its 3D Center, is seeking new paths in the field of metal printing. The aim of the research is…

Kidney Disease: Consequences of Diabetes
Diabetes can cause numerous complications, one of which is kidney damage, which occurs in a significant proportion of patients. Diabetic nephropathy, as this kidney damage is called, develops gradually and involves the disease of the glomeruli of the kidney, which are the capillaries involved in urine filtration. During this process, the connective tissue between the capillaries increases, hindering the normal functioning of the kidney. Diabetic nephropathy is initially asymptomatic, so many people are unaware that their kidney function has begun to decline. However, as the disease progresses, the structure of the kidneys changes, and the decrease in function becomes increasingly noticeable. Obesity, particularly a high body mass index (BMI), is…

Complex tasks can help avoid cognitive decline
A modern társadalomban a mentális egészség védelme kiemelt fontossággal bír, különösen az idősebb korosztály számára. A tudományos kutatások folyamatosan új összefüggéseket tárnak fel a szellemi aktivitás és a különböző neurodegeneratív betegségek, például az Alzheimer-kór közötti kapcsolatról. A szakértők egyre inkább hangsúlyozzák azt a tényt, hogy a szellemi kihívások nem csupán a fiatal korosztály számára fontosak, hanem az idősebb felnőttek számára is elengedhetetlenek az agy egészségének megőrzésében. A kognitív funkciók fenntartása érdekében végzett kutatások A kutatások azt mutatják, hogy a szellemi munka és a komplex feladatok elvégzése jelentősen hozzájárulhat a demenciával kapcsolatos kockázatok csökkentéséhez. Az agy folyamatos edzése, amely magában foglalja a különféle szellemi kihívásokkal való foglalkozást, alapvetően fontos a hosszú…

Vocal fold lesions (nodules, polyps, and cysts)
The vocal cords, fundamental elements of sound production, can be subjected to various lesions that may cause different symptoms, such as hoarseness. These benign lesions, such as nodules, polyps, or cysts, generally develop as a result of excessive strain or trauma to the voice. Those affected often find that the health of their vocal cords is closely related to their speaking and singing habits. Diagnosing and treating vocal cord lesions is an important step in restoring voice quality. Vocal Cord Nodules Vocal cord nodules, also known as singer’s nodules, develop as a consequence of excessive or improper use of the vocal cords. These nodules typically appear at the midpoint of…

When is it necessary to seek medical help for a sports injury?
Skiing is an exciting and challenging sport that offers a lot of experiences, but unfortunately, the risk of injuries is also high. Various accidents, such as falls, can easily occur, and in many cases, the knee bears the brunt of the load. Knee injuries are not only painful but can also affect our mobility in the long term. Proper treatment and appropriate rehabilitation are crucial for returning to the sport as soon as possible. When the knee is injured, the pain serves as an immediate warning to the body to protect the injured area. In many cases, if the injury is not severe, walking may be possible after the pain…

A menopause is a natural stage of life that brings numerous physical and hormonal changes. It significantly impacts women’s physical and mental health and can often lead to various health issues. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that after menopause, women’s dental health can also be at risk. Research shows that the risk of tooth loss is much higher among postmenopausal women, especially those who smoke heavily. In addition to the hormonal changes triggered by menopause, smoking can cause numerous oral health problems, including tooth loss. The medical community is increasingly recognizing the connections between these factors and warns that smokers are particularly at risk. Therefore, it is important for women…

Factors and Signs of Periostitis
A periostitis, also known as periostitis, refers to the inflammation of the membrane surrounding the bones. This condition is particularly common among athletes, especially runners and heavy weightlifters, but it is not solely related to regular physical activity. The condition can also arise from a single strain, such as gardening or moving. The symptoms of inflammation vary, and understanding its type and cause is crucial for selecting the appropriate treatment method. The onset of periostitis often occurs suddenly, and the intensity of pain can vary. Patients frequently experience swelling and tenderness in the affected area. Depending on the severity and duration of the inflammation, periostitis can be classified into two…

What could be behind spring fatigue? Is this really the cause of the complaints?
As spring arrives, many people experience fatigue, lethargy, and mood swings. This condition is a common phenomenon, and many complain about drowsiness and irritability during this time. But what could be behind it? The spring season is not only about the renewal of nature but also about its effects on our bodies. Sudden changes in weather, alterations in our daily rhythms, and nutrient deficiencies all contribute to feelings of fatigue. Spring fatigue, therefore, is not an illness but rather a type of deficiency state that arises from the accumulated fatigue of the winter months. The lack of sunlight, cold weather, and reduced physical activity all contribute to the sensation of…

Damp Hands: Is There a Solution?
The icy cold and sweaty palms are an uncomfortable experience for many people, especially in situations where we are in the spotlight, such as during presentations or exams. The root of this problem often lies not in the temperature but in the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. In stressful situations, the body automatically reacts, leading to sweating, and this phenomenon can appear in almost everyone’s life. Many experience increased sweating due to anxiety, which further heightens stress as they fear others will notice their condition. Damp palms are not just a temporary inconvenience; they can significantly impact the daily lives of those affected. The root of the problem often…
