Heart disease in newborns, infants, and children is mostly congenital, but can also be acquired. The clinical presentation and course of congenital malformations can vary widely depending on the type of disease. Most of the abnormalities are mild and heal spontaneously or with medication, but they can also be very severe, with frightening symptoms that require urgent heart surgery or cardiac catheterization in the first days of life.
Tomosynthesis is a modern breast diagnostic test performed, whenever necessary, during mammography, which helps in the early and more accurate detection of tumors.
The tonsils are lymphoid tissues located on either side of the throat that play a role in protecting against infections. They are important in the functioning of the immune system in childhood, but their importance decreases with age. If the tonsils become frequently inflamed, permanently enlarged, or cause other health problems, their removal may be warranted.
Endometrial ablation, also known as uterine ablation or curettage, can have several indications, either diagnostic or therapeutic. Diagnostic ablation is when we need information about the endometrium for diagnostic purposes, or when we suspect a malignancy or other lesion. A therapeutic ablation is when we remove the endometrium because of a prolonged bleeding disorder. The operation is performed under general anesthetic and is usually a one-day procedure unless the patient has a general underlying medical condition that requires several days in hospital.
Hematology deals with diseases of the hematopoietic and lymphatic organs, and one branch of it deals with disorders of blood clotting. Fortunately, severe hematopoietic diseases are rare, but abnormalities in blood counts are very common during routine blood sampling. Complicating matters is the fact that in Hungary, blood tests mean one thing in an everyday sense and something different in a medical sense. According to the vernacular, ‘complete blood count’ is the collective term for all tests performed on blood samples. However, doctors only mean a certain test: an examination of the blood's components, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, a platelet (thrombocyte) count and a few other parameters that are mainly indicative of the condition of the blood (for example hemoglobin, the hematocrit level, or the distribution of white blood cells). Quantitative changes in any of these can disturb the functioning of the body, whether the amount is higher or lower than necessary. It is also possible for several different cellular elements to increase or decrease simultaneously.
In childhood, ear-nose-throat (ENT) complaints and symptoms can take many forms. These include nasal congestion, snoring, recurrent sore throat, painful swallowing, insomnia, altered speech tone, and so on. Rhinitis, recurrent otitis media, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and lingual tonsillitis are the most common diseases dealt with by doctors in the field.
Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that deals with the structure, function and diseases of the eye. Ophthalmology investigates and treats refraction defects of the eye and diseases of the eyeball. Early detection of many eye diseases is of paramount importance: small corrections and medication can prevent symptoms from becoming more severe, which may result in more serious visual impairment or require more drastic intervention in the future.
Over time, signs of aging appear on the face. Stress, sunlight, and pollution all leave a mark on facial skin. Over the age of 35, our skin can become looser and flabby. With the help of a thread lift, without surgery the sagging face can be lifted, various wrinkles on the face can be treated, and the elasticity of the facial skin can be restored. The FTC (Fine Thread Contouring), or COG thread lift, is a non-surgical procedure that achieves immediate, lasting results without allergic reactions, without incisions, using up to 100% natural biolift sutures. It draws from elements of the traditional western thread lift procedure and the oriental, muscle pain reducing thread-embedding acupuncture interventions. In addition to rejuvenating the skin it also lifts the tissues.
