Weight loss through medication

In recent months, the term “weight-loss injection” has become increasingly common on social media and news platforms. Some hail it as a miracle cure, others remain sceptical – but what exactly is it? These so-called “slimming injections” are actually GLP-1 agonists: medications originally developed to help people with diabetes, but now also proving remarkably effective in aiding weight loss. So, how do these treatments work in the body, who are they suitable for, and what are the benefits and risks? Dr Zsuzsa Szpaszkij, consultant endocrinologist at Dr Rose Private Hospital, answers the most important questions.

Sunbathe wisely!

Summer is here again, the carefree period of holidays, the beach, and sunbathing. So, let’s prepare for the summer season so that our skin doesn’t get lasting memories. While enjoying the summer and various outdoor activities, we need to protect our skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. According to research by the Mayo Clinic in America, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with more than 2 million cases diagnosed each year, and one in five Americans developing skin cancer. Unfortunately, these proportions are similar in the rest of the world. The steps for prevention are summarized here by Dr. Zsófia Hatvani, PhD, a dermatologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital.

Stroke

Stroke is a sudden nervous system disorder caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the brain, which can cause permanent damage or death. Two forms are known: cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic brain damage, which occurs in approximately 85% of cases when an area of the brain does not receive enough blood to function due to vascular occlusion; and in approximately 15% of cases, hemorrhagic strokes occur when blood flows into the brain itself or between the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s neurologist, Dr. Sándor Ilniczky, answers the most important questions about stroke.

We are what we eat

The intestinal flora is a collection of microorganisms in our digestive system in symbiosis, i.e. in mutually beneficial coexistence, especially bacteria, fungi and other unicellular organisms that contribute to the maintenance of our health. Interestingly, the bacteria that make up the gut flora well outnumber the cells that make up the human body. As the saying goes, “we are what we eat” – so let’s learn about the intestinal flora’s effects on our bodies from Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s dietitian, Nóra Galló.

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.
