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.

Lactose Sensitivity, Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance—also known as lactose sensitivity—is the inability to digest lactose, a disaccharide sugar found in milk and certain dairy products. This condition arises from a deficiency or complete absence of lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose. Globally, it's estimated that around 75% of the adult population cannot fully digest lactose. Rates vary widely: approximately 5% in Northern Europe, 71% in Southern Europe, and up to 90% in some Asian and African countries. Dr. Edit Harasta, a gastroenterologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, offers a concise overview:

Internal medicine

Internal medicine is one of the most complex fields of general medicine, in which, in addition to treatment, prevention is also playing an increasingly important role. The internal medicine specialist mainly deals with pathological changes and dysfunctions of the internal organs and organ systems. Many disciplines are based on internal medicine, such as: diabetology for diabetes, gastroenterology for the digestive system, endocrinology for hormone function, nephrology for kidney disease, cardiology for cardiovascular disease, pulmonology for the respiratory system and hematology for dealing with blood disorders.The internal medicine specialist coordinates these disciplines when treating the patient. This role is comparable to that of a general practitioner, as it may either cure only one acute illness or play a caring role for years in the treatment of chronic diseases.

B.tox anti-wrinkle treatment

The b.tox treatment is a collective term for all therapies performed with an appropriately diluted solution of botulinum toxin. The applicability of b.tox is very wide. The essence of anti-wrinkle treatment is to prevent the formation of wrinkles and the spectacular deepening of wrinkles by limiting the function of the mimic muscles via temporarily blocking the transmission of signals from peripheral nerves to the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles. The extent and duration of the effect depends somewhat on the amount administered and the site of administration.

Hematology

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.

Radiology

Radiology is a medical discipline using various imaging procedures (x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, isotope scan), which is mainly used for diagnostic purposes. The basic task and clinical practical goal of radiological imaging diagnostics is to explore the relationships between the signs seen in the images and the pathological abnormalities behind them. In our radiology department, the examinations are carried out with the help of state-of-the-art digital x-ray devices, mammographs suitable for tomosynthesis and stereotactic sampling in addition to traditional procedures and high-end ultrasound devices. In addition to the use of modern, high-quality surgical instruments, the expertise and experience of our radiologists have a decisive influence on the evaluability of examinations, therefore only highly qualified staff with appropriate professional experience await patients in our hospital. As radiology is fundamentally an interpretive science, so the professional questions and indications formulated in advance by our clinicians significantly help the effectiveness and evaluability of our targeted examinations. Our radiological recordings are digitally available to our patients and specialists.

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgeries, in which a silicone breast implant is used to increase the size of the breasts or make up for lost volume which can develop after pregnancy and breastfeeding, following a disease affecting breast tissue or as a feature of age. Nowadays, breast augmentation has become accepted by society. The reason for this lies not only in open communication, but also in the fact that the motto of plastic surgeons for years has been ’natural beauty’, so breast augmentation is no longer synonymous with huge, sometimes grotesque breasts, and most often it is not noticeable that an implant increases breast size.

Manager screenings

In our comprehensive manager screening packages, we focus on the investigation of malignancies, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders, taking into account the extra burdens of our stressful, busy lives. Each manager screening package includes specialist, imaging, laboratory and diagnostic examinations too. We prepare a specialist’s summary of the examination results, from which our patients get an overview of their health and the further actions necessary to maintain it.We offer our costumers four different manager screening packages, the comparison of packages is available HERE.Our manager screening packagesWe recommend our Standard manager screening package to those who would like an overview of their health status. In addition to detailed internal medicine, gynecology/urology and ophthalmology specialist examinations, numerous laboratory and imaging diagnostic tests help to detect the most predominant diseases that have not yet caused complaints. Further details can be found HERE. We recommend our Komplex and Komplex+ manager screening package primarily to those who, in addition to the Standard manager screening, would like more emphasis on the investigation of cardiovascular and dermatological diseases. In addition to more detailed laboratory and ultrasound examinations than those included in the Standard screening package, we also perform stress ECG and heart ultrasound tests during the cardiology examination. For more details, see HERE.Our Superior manager screening is our most involved examination package. In addition to the examinations included in the Komplex screening package, it includes several additional medical and diagnostic tests with the aim of obtaining a thorough picture of the state of each organ system. As part of the Superior screening package, we also perform a tumor marker examination and a videodermatoscopic examination of skin moles. More details can be found HERE.Our Senior Screening Package focuses on health conditions commonly affecting people over the age of 65, with special emphasis on hearing, vision, bone health, cardiovascular status, as well as the assessment of cognitive function and dementia.Further details HERE.Detailed information about the screening process and the examinations included in the individual screening packages is available HERE.
