It is a huge thrill to slide down a snowy mountainside or glide over ice wearing ice skates. However, it doesn’t hurt to know the dangers of winter sports. What are the typical winter sports accidents, what symptoms should we take seriously, when should we see a doctor, and how can we avoid or prevent these dangers? We asked Dr. László Rudolf Hangody, Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s orthopedic traumatologist, about this.
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.
Snoring affects approximately half of the adult population, primarily impairing sleep quality, but in severe cases it can also be associated with respiratory arrest (respiratory apnea), which can have serious consequences. Snoring is a symptom caused by narrowing of the upper airways during sleep. Sleep endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure in which, using a brief, surface (superficial) anesthesia, the otolaryngologist observes the snoring and possible airway obstruction sites, which helps in selecting the optimal treatment.
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with the symptoms, pathology and cure of skin diseases. Because of the symptoms, dermatology often interacts with related professions such as internal medicine, allergology / immunology, pathology (histology), microbiology (bacteriology, virology, mycology), and specialized laboratory diagnostics.The dermatologist’s responsibilities include treating conditions relating to the skin, nails, hair, oral mucosa and external genitalia, as well as a number of venereal diseases. An important area of dermatology is the screening of skin cancer and the differentiation of benign (non-cancerous) skin conditions. Annual screening of moles is recommended even when they cause no complaint, as the timely detection of skin cancers - including the most serious type, malignant melanoma - can save lives.
Our orthopedic department specialises in the treatment of congenital and acquired disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal disorders include diseases of the bones and joints of the limbs, some muscular disorders, and disorders of the soft tissues surrounding the spine and vertebrae.Whatever the musculoskeletal complaint, our excellent orthopedic specialists use the latest diagnostic techniques and tools to make an accurate diagnosis. In the light of the results of the evaluated examinations, we provide surgical care if required, covering the entire spectrum of orthopedics, with excellent anaesthetic and surgical background, as well as complex therapeutic and rehabilitation options.
Skin cancer is curable if detected early. With annual screening, malignant lesions that are detected and removed in time can be very curable, while those detected too late can metastasize. Practical advice on skin cancer prevention is summarized here by Zsófia Hatvani, PhD, dermatologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital.
