Restoration of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
A peripheral neurological disease refers to disorders that occur outside the central nervous system, affecting the nerves that emerge from the spinal cord and the nerve-muscle connections. These issues typically manifest symptoms in the limbs and trunk, ranging from mild sensory disturbances to complete loss of movement and sensation. These complaints not only cause physical difficulties but can also significantly impact an individual’s daily life and quality of life. Involvement of peripheral nerves can occur for various reasons, such as accidents, inflammation, or muscle knots. Injuries often occur around the wrist and palm, while inflammatory processes can lead to pain and decreased function. Nerve compression can also cause serious problems,…

Environmental pollution increases the risk of appendicitis
The relationship between air quality and health is increasingly coming to the forefront. The effects of polluted air can impact not only respiratory diseases but also other health problems. Recent research suggests that air pollution, particularly high concentrations of ozone and nitrogen dioxide, may be linked to certain diseases, including appendicitis. Urban lifestyles, transportation, and industrial activities are contributing to the deterioration of air quality, which is becoming an increasingly urgent problem. Public health professionals continuously monitor the effects of air pollution and how they influence the occurrence of various diseases. New studies and analyses may help us better understand the connections between air quality and different diseases, thereby contributing…

An American Super Team Performed the Surgery in Pécs
The treatment of developmental disorders in pediatric surgery requires special attention, as these issues often have a significant impact on the quality of life of young patients. Gastrointestinal disorders, especially those occurring in the perineal area, present serious challenges for specialists. International collaborations and the sharing of professional experiences are essential for developing the best care methods and facilitating patient recovery. International experts, such as Prof. Mark Levitt, a recognized authority in pediatric colorectal surgery, play a vital role in knowledge transfer. The goal of the medical team visiting the University of Pécs is to present new methods in complex cases, thereby improving the knowledge and experience of local professionals.…

Spinal Closure Defects and Open Spine Conditions
The neural tube defects represent one of the most common groups of developmental disorders that occur during the development of the fetal nervous system. The neural tube normally forms in the early stages of pregnancy, and its closure is essential for proper brain and spinal cord formation. If this closure is incomplete or does not occur at all, various abnormalities may develop, which can have serious consequences for the life of the unborn child. The closure of the neural tube occurs during the fourth week of pregnancy, and if the fetus is exposed to harmful effects during this period, it can disrupt the process. In addition to genetic factors, external…

General Anesthesia, also known as Narcosis
The general anesthesia, commonly known as sedation, is a medical procedure that allows for the controlled reduction of consciousness, thus eliminating the patient’s sensation of pain and relaxing the skeletal muscles. During this process, the patient enters a completely unconscious state, which is essential for many surgical interventions. Anesthesia serves not only to reduce pain but also to guarantee the immobility of the patient and the safety of the surgical environment. The Principles and Effects of Anesthesia The aim of general anesthesia is to achieve painlessness, reduce consciousness, and ensure immobility during surgery. During anesthesia, the patient becomes unconscious and does not remember the procedure, as they are under the…
