Protect Your Children from the Sun!
This year, summer appeared for a few days in April, reminding us of how crucial it is to prepare for sun protection in time. Children's skin is much more sensitive than that of adults, so it matters when we take them out in the sun, what sunscreen we use, and what to do if signs of sunburn appear on their skin. Dr. Ágnes Csitos, a dermatologist and pediatric dermatologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, provides answers and useful advice on these questions.
Pediatric endocrinology
Endocrinology deals with disorders of the endocrine glands (the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, ovaries, testicles, and part of the pancreas). Pediatric endocrinological diseases differ from adult diseases in many respects, as the disease processes affect a growing and developing organism. Disorders of the hormonal system also affect the metabolism (disorders of body weight, energy expenditure, etc.) and the functioning of many other organ systems (nervous system, cardiovascular system, immune system, etc.), hence there can be a wide range of consequences.
Cholesterol: its benefits and drawbacks
Cholesterol, a very important building block in all cells of our body, is involved in the synthesis of certain hormones, bile acids and vitamin D. Chief physician Dr. Bernadett Voloncs, cardiologist and internist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, spoke on the subject.
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.
Spring detox in 4 steps
By detoxing, we are not referring to various cleansing regimes, ’miracle pills’ or X-day courses of juice fasting, but primarily the regular consumption of foods that help our body’s own natural detoxification processes by supporting the liver, kidneys, and our gastrointestinal tract, as well as providing valuable nutrients for our body from which we can get into top form in a short time. In spring, countless such seasonal ingredients are available - check out what is good eat, according to Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s dietitian, Nóra Galló.
Insulin resistance: help is at hand
You are not feeling well, you’ve started to gain weight and can’t lose it even though you are dieting, you have become more tired and sweaty, you get irritated by things for no good reason and sometimes you can't control your appetite - these are the typical complaints that a patient with insulin resistance presents at the endocrinology clinic. These symptoms were described by Dr. Illés Gyula Balogh, Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s endocrinologist and gynecologist, who has had many positive experiences helping infertile couples, indeed often his patients become pregnant after a few months’ treatment, hence his desk is decorated with countless mugs bearing baby photos. We discussed the identification, testing, dangers and healing of insulin resistance with him.
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.
Orthopedic surgeries
Musculoskeletal problems - caused by congenital or acquired disorders, accidents or illnesses - can often only be treated surgically, this being the only way to regain mobility and eliminate pain. At Dr. Rose Private Hospital, orthopedic surgery is available without waiting, for both arthroscopic and endoprosthetic procedures such as hip, knee and shoulder replacement. We can arrange an appointment for the necessary procedure within 1-2 weeks of the first specialist consultation. Specialists in endoprosthetics, arthroscopy, hand and sports surgery use the latest minimally invasive techniques to speed recovery, complemented by our physiotherapist, manual therapy and sports rehabilitation staff.
