Risk of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases
A modern orvostudomány folyamatosan újabb és újabb összefüggéseket tár fel a különböző betegségek és azok szövődményei között. Különösen érdekes, hogy a krónikus autoimmun betegségekkel élő páciensek esetében milyen mértékben megnő a tüdőembólia kialakulásának kockázata. Ezek a felfedezések nemcsak a páciensek egészségügyi ellátását érintik, hanem a kezelési protokollokat is alapvetően befolyásolhatják. Az autoimmun betegségek és a tüdőembólia kockázata A legfrissebb kutatások szerint az autoimmun betegségekkel küzdő pácienseknél jelentősen megnő a tüdőembólia kockázata. A svéd kutatók által végzett vizsgálat során több mint 500 ezer kórházban kezelt páciens adatait elemezték, akik közül sokan legalább egy autoimmun betegséggel éltek. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a kórházi tartózkodás utáni 12 hónapon belül a tüdőembólia kockázata…

Symptoms and Therapeutic Options of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Az akut mieloid leukémia (AML) egy olyan súlyos betegség, amely a csontvelői vérképző sejtek daganatos elváltozásából ered. E betegség előfordulása különösen gyakori a fiatal felnőttek és az idősebb korosztály körében. A leukémia jellemzője, hogy a normál sejtek helyét a kóros sejtek foglalják el a csontvelőben, ami komoly egészségügyi problémákhoz vezethet. Az AML gyorsan fejlődik, és ha nem kezelik, a beteg életét veszélyezteti. A betegség kialakulásának okai sokrétűek, és bár nem minden esetben ismertek, bizonyos kockázati tényezők, mint például a vegyi anyagokkal való érintkezés vagy sugárzás, hozzájárulhatnak a leukémia megjelenéséhez. Az AML diagnózisának felállítása komplex folyamat, amely különféle vizsgálatok és elemzések sorozatát igényli. A modern orvostudomány fejlődésének köszönhetően az AML kezelése…

The use of botox is being researched in the therapy of Parkinson’s disease
The botox, traditionally known as a wrinkle treatment, offers new possibilities in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Research indicates that the botulinum toxin, which is the active ingredient in botox, has shown promising effects in alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which could represent a new direction in the therapy of neurological diseases. Botox is gaining increasing attention not only in the cosmetic industry but also in the field of neurological applications. The Mechanism of Botox in Parkinson’s Disease The functioning of botox lies in its ability to block the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine in the brain.

Types of Dialysis
The kidneys play an extremely important role in the healthy functioning of the body, as they are responsible for maintaining the balance of salts, water, and acid-base, as well as removing toxic substances. However, these vital organ systems can become ill due to various conditions, which can have serious consequences. When kidney function dramatically declines, medical intervention becomes inevitable to save the patient’s life. Kidney failure, whether acute or chronic, is a condition that makes normal bodily functions difficult. In such cases, dialysis, as a kidney replacement therapy, becomes essential for patients. Dialysis does not improve kidney function but rather replaces its functions. The goal of treatment is to remove…

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
The spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, characterized by the gradual degeneration of the motor neurons in the spinal cord. This disease causes varying degrees of muscle weakness and atrophy, significantly impacting the quality of life of patients. In Hungary, 10-15 new children with SMA are born each year, indicating the relatively rare occurrence of the disease, yet it can have severe effects on the lives of families. The underlying cause of SMA is a defect in the SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron 1) gene, which plays a key role in the survival of motor neurons. When this gene does not function properly,…

Double and Simple Balloon Enteroscopy
The double-balloon enteroscopy is a special endoscopic procedure designed for the thorough examination of the small intestine. This method allows specialists to examine several meters of bowel segments, thereby assisting in diagnosis and identifying various bowel diseases. The technique is based on a special, long, and thin endoscope, which includes a sheath, also known as an overtube. Together, they form the double-balloon system, which is available in various sizes, but the most common version is 2000 mm long and 9.4 mm in diameter. The inflatable balloons at the end of the endoscope are intended to stabilize the instrument within the small intestine, ensuring an effective and safe examination. During the…

Therapeutic Approach to Catatonia
Katatonia is a psychomotor syndrome that can develop as a result of various mental and physical conditions. Typically, severe depression, catatonic schizophrenia, metabolic disorders, or neurological problems may be underlying causes. This disorder not only affects the mental state but also dramatically reduces the physical activity of the patient. In cases of catatonia, medication is not always sufficient, which may necessitate the use of electrical impulses for seizure induction during treatment. The actions surrounding a patient experiencing catatonia are also extremely important, as proper first aid and medical intervention are essential. Recognizing catatonia is crucial, as the symptoms of the illness can quickly worsen. Timely and appropriate medical assistance can…

As a result, the fluid accumulates in the tissues, which can lead to various health problems. The causes of edema The causes of edema can be diverse, including disturbances in the functioning of the lymphatic system. Lymphoedema can be hereditary or acquired. Hereditary forms generally affect women and can appear in infancy, but they can…
