Patients’ best interests should be the primary concern

The number of private health care institutions is growing rapidly, and with no end in sight. There is no doubt that this process is mainly driven by growing demand, from within the state healthcare system. But is there enough solvent demand to sustain all the increasingly expensive private clinics? What is the role of public and private care in the current health care system? We sought answers to these questions from Dr. Kornél Papik, Managing Director of Dr. Rose Private Hospital.

Do all you can to fight dementia - Dementia Prevention Program

Dementia is a syndrome characterized by mental decline, degeneration, and ultimately dementia, i.e., a retrogression from a certain cognitive and intellectual level. It is caused by the progression of a serious brain disease that impairs memory, thinking, orientation, understanding, recognition and calculation skills, thus changing both personality and behavior. Dementia typically affects people over 60 years of age, but it can occur at a younger age. The main risk factors for dementia are certain chronic diseases – such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney failure, obesity and other metabolic and hormonal diseases –, however the development of dementia is also closely linked to lifestyle.

Bunions and Hammertoes: Prevention and Treatment

The health of your feet plays a key role in everyday comfort and freedom of movement. According to Dr. Dániel Kiss, orthopaedic trauma specialist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, bunions and hammertoes are among the most common foot deformities, yet many people only seek medical help once the condition is already causing pain. Prevention, early diagnosis, and professional treatment can not only reduce pain in the long term but also greatly improve mobility.

The Mediterranean Diet’s Secret to Longevity

The Mediterranean lifestyle combines healthy eating with physical activity and quality time spent with family and friends. Its health benefits have been confirmed by numerous scientific studies.

When to see a psychiatrist?

More and more people are interested in topics that start with ’psych-’, but sometimes people confuse what a psychiatrist does, and the differences between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. The main difference is in undergraduate education because a psychology degree can be obtained from the Faculty of Humanities of universities, while a psychiatry degree can be obtained as a professional examination following a general medical degree.

What are the Orthopedic Benefits of Running?

Running, like most recreational sports, has numerous positive effects on our health, musculoskeletal system, and cardiovascular system. It is beneficial for all these. Consistency is key. By consistency, we mean incorporating at least two or three sessions of running or jogging per week, each lasting a minimum of half an hour. We spoke to Dr. Hangody László Rudolf, an orthopaedic-traumatologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, about running.

Dietetics

In the course of providing dietary advice, we provide assistance not only with lifestyle changes and health maintenance, but also with the dietary treatment of established diseases. In striving for the best results for our patients, we focus on individual problems; as we are all different, our counseling is completely personalized. In collaboration with our medical team we explore the causes of symptoms and complaints. We provide laboratory and other diagnostic tests for our patients. In collaboration with a doctor of internal medicine, cardiologist, endocrinologist, diabetologist, gastroenterologist and other specialists whenever necessary, we assure our patients the benefit of the most complex care possible. We provide dietary advice and compile a diet that is optimized in line with the patient’s gender, age, weight, occupation and physical activity. The success of our work lies in achieving long-term change, which is why we consider it important to follow up at regular intervals. During the consultations, we teach patients how to eat according to their disease or condition, from the right choice of ingredients to kitchen technology and decisions concerning portion sizes. Our goal is not a one-dimensional diet but to create a well-balanced diet and a livable lifestyle.

Breast lift

In most women’s lives, the moment comes when she looks with dissatisfaction at the changed shape of her breasts. After childbirth, due to the passage of time or thanks to individual attributes, the skin loses its elasticity and tone. Breasts that have lost their perkiness can be made firmer with a plastic surgery procedure called a breast lift.
