Excessive Folate Intake is Problematic – New Study
The period of pregnancy and breastfeeding requires special attention from expectant mothers, as the body needs more nutrients to support the developing baby. One of the most important vitamins is folic acid, which is essential for the healthy development of the fetus, particularly for the proper formation of the spine and nervous system. However, the amount and form of folic acid intake is crucial, as excessive consumption does not always lead to the desired effects. Scientific research indicates that the recommended amount of folic acid for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers is significant not only for the developing baby but also for the mother’s health. The Role of Folic Acid During…

Multiple Sclerosis
The multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system and can have serious consequences. This condition arises due to a weakened immune system that mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells, particularly the myelin sheath, which protects nerve cells. The prevalence of the disease affects thousands of people worldwide, and it is especially common among young adults. The course of MS The course of MS is variable, with the appearance and severity of symptoms depending on the location of the affected nerves. The disease occurs most frequently in women and is seen particularly in younger age groups, especially in individuals between the ages of 20 and…

Discounts for Health-Conscious Audiences? Dr. György Bodoky on the Cancer Researchers Podcast
The role of regular health screenings is crucial in the prevention of diseases and early diagnosis. The medical community increasingly emphasizes that undergoing screening tests can save lives, as early detection can dramatically increase the chances of recovery in many cases. To raise public health awareness, it is important to promote screenings, as many people still do not take advantage of these opportunities. Unfortunately, not everyone recognizes the effectiveness of preventive examinations, which can lead to later diagnoses and more severe conditions. For instance, many lives could be saved through regular screenings for cervical and colorectal cancer. Proper information and encouragement can be key in terms of disease prevention. Suggestions…

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…

Drugs and Their Risks: LSD
The LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, is one of the most well-known hallucinogenic substances in the world, which has not only attracted the attention of the scientific community in recent decades but has also become central to psychedelic culture. The discovery and use of the substance are closely related to the development of psychological research, and recently, interest in it has surged again, partly due to its therapeutic possibilities and partly due to its recreational use. The return of LSD to the public eye is no coincidence, as research has continuously uncovered new approaches to the substance’s mechanisms of action and potential applications. Interest in psychedelic substances is increasingly present…

The cancer risks of coffee and hot beverages under thorough investigation
Az emberi egészség megőrzésében és a különböző betegségek megelőzésében fontos szerepet játszik a táplálkozásunk és az italaink választása. A napi rutinunk részeként fogyasztott italok, mint például a kávé vagy a maté, nagy népszerűségnek örvendenek világszerte. Ugyanakkor a különböző hőmérsékleten történő fogyasztásuk egészségügyi hatásait régóta kutatják. The Relationship Between Hot Beverages and Cancer A legfrissebb megállapítások szerint a nagyon forró italok fogyasztása valószínűleg nyelőcsőrákot okozhat. Ezt a következtetést epidemiológiai tanulmányok támasztják alá, amelyek a nyelőcsőrák és a forró italok közötti összefüggéseket vizsgálták. Az ilyen kutatások során különösen Kínában, Iránban, Törökországban és Dél-Amerikában végzett felmérések mutatták ki, hogy a nyelőcsőrák kockázata nő a fogyasztott ital hőmérsékletének emelkedésével. A nagyon forró italok, például…

The Risk of Stroke and the Role of Statins
A prevention of cardiovascular diseases is becoming increasingly important in modern medicine. Cholesterol-lowering medications, particularly statins, are a popular choice as they play a significant role in preventing heart attacks and strokes. However, they are not risk-free in every case, and research is shedding new light on the potential consequences of statin use. The mechanism of action of statins is multifaceted, and they are widely used due to their ability to lower cholesterol levels. Different types of these medications, such as simvastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin, all function according to the dosages prescribed by doctors. It is important to consider that statins are best taken in the evening, as the liver…

The consumption of dark chocolate may reduce the risk of pregnancy hypertension
A pregnant woman’s diet during pregnancy is crucial for the healthy development of the fetus. Changes in eating habits, the proper intake of various nutrients, and the importance of considering foods to avoid all contribute to a smooth pregnancy. Expectant mothers are often advised to avoid certain foods; however, the question of chocolate sparks heated debates in the scientific community. Research on chocolate has shown that when consumed in moderation, it can offer numerous health benefits. Chocolate contains flavonoids, which have a positive effect on circulation and can contribute to maintaining cardiovascular health. Additionally, darker varieties of chocolate, such as bitter chocolate, contain even more flavonoids, making their consumption particularly…

Parasite Infection May Offer Protection Against Allergies
In recent decades, the prevalence of various allergic diseases and asthma has shown an increasing trend worldwide. Researchers are increasingly warning that the pathogen-free environment we live in may play a role in the development of these problems. Dramatic changes in hygiene conditions, excessive disinfection, and the lack of intestinal parasites may all contribute to the improper development of our immune system. Children’s immune systems are extremely sensitive during early developmental stages, especially during fetal and infant periods. The presence of pathogens, such as bacteria and parasites, can help facilitate the proper immune response. However, the sterile environment in which children grow up may contribute to the immune system reacting…

Investigation of Asperger Syndrome – Psychiatric Responses
The modern fields of psychology and psychiatry have a significant area of focus on autism spectrum disorders, within which Asperger syndrome has received notable attention. Asperger syndrome is a neurobiological condition that presents differences in social interactions, communication, and behavior. Individuals affected often have special interests, and while their intelligence is generally average or above, they may exhibit exceptional talent in certain areas. Early recognition of the syndrome is extremely important, as appropriate support and therapy can aid in the development of children. Those living with Asperger syndrome often struggle to adhere to social norms, which is why the opinions of parents and their surroundings play a crucial role in…
