[The use of fluorides is one of the most important areas of dental prevention. It has many beneficial effects on teeth, and it is worth using them starting from childhood. It has an important role in caries prevention and in ensuring the strength of the enamel. However, we must pay attention to take fluoride into our body in moderation. If we don’t act accordingly, we can damage the condition of the teeth and the structure of the bones, to which we should pay special attention during childhood. Fluorosis can be prevented by attention, but adequate information is essential for this, which can be provided by both dentists and dental hygienists.]

[In addition to the joyful nature of pregnancy, this condition uses a great drain to the organization of women, and the oral cavity and teeth are no exceptions. Neglected teething poses several dangers not only to the mother, but to the embryo as well. The mother may develop bleeding gums, inflammation, tooth decay among other problems, and in the foetus may have dental malformations, infection, premature birth or even miscarriage. Researches have shown that pregnant women who are more often attended to dental screening brought a newborn baby into the world with higher weight and the chances of the perinatal complications were on a lower level than those women who were rarely or not tested at all. For this reason, it is an important issue to acutely look after the dental check during pregnancy, not only in dental care but all levels of health care and by almost all professionals with whom the pregnant one meets during that nine months.]

[COVID-19 has made providing in-person care difficult. In most countries, including Hungary, telemedicine has partly served as a resolution for this issue. Our purpose was to explore the effects of COVID-19 on neurological care, the knowledge of neurology specialists on telemedicine, and the present state of telecare in Hungary, with a special focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD). Between July and October 2021, a nationwide online survey was conducted among actively practicing Hungarian neurology specialists who were managing patients with PD. A total of 104 neurologists were surveyed. All levels of care were evaluated in both publicly funded and private healthcare. Both time weekly spent on outpatient specialty consultation and the number of patients with PD seen weekly significantly decreased in public healthcare, while remained almost unchanged in private care (p<0.001); higher portion of patients were able to receive in-person care in private care (78.8% vs. 90.8%, p<0.001). In telecare, prescribing medicines has already been performed by the most (n=103, 99%). Electronic messages were the most widely known telemedicine tools (n=98, 94.2%), while phone call has already been used by most neurologists (n=95, 91.3%). Video-based consultation has been more widely used in private than public care (30.1% vs. 15.5%, p=0.001). Teleprocedures were considered most suitable for monitoring progression and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and evaluating the need for adjustments to antiparkinsonian pharmacotherapy. COVID-19 has had a major impact on the care of patients with PD in Hungary. Telemedicine has mitigated these detrimental effects; however, further developments could make it an even more reliable component of care.]

[Parkinson’s disease is the elderly people’s condition which increases the risk of infections in the upper airways in its ad­vanced stages. Specific diseases (as hypertension, diabetes mellitus), older age and the male sex are significantly worsening the course of COVID-19. It would be challenging to examine parallel these diseases, since they are raising two important ques­tions. First, if Parkinson’s disease be a risk factor of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Se­condly, how the COVID-19 pandemic can influence the Parkinson’s disease patients. The authors are seeking answers to these questions based on the published results in the topic concerned.]

[We aim to review the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on epilepsy and epilepsy-care. While the virus has no specific link with epilepsy, it may affect the nervous system both directly and indirectly, leading to seizures in several ways. The hyper-coagulable state occurring with the infection may cause strokes leading to seizures. The infection may first manifest in the form of disturbances of consciousness and behaviour, seizures, and even status epilepticus. The interactions of antiviral/antiepileptic drugs need to be taken into account during treatment. The hypercoagulable state induced by COVID-2 infection may cause stroke, which leads to seizures. The infection can occur also as an impaired consciousness of non-epileptic origin. Interactions of antiviral/antiepileptic drugs have also to be taken into account. The pandemic itself as well as quarantines and social distancing may cause anxiety and insomnia, challenge continuous antiepileptic supply; each one carrying the risk of seizing. Young epilepsy patients with learning disabilities and mental health issues are most vulnerable, justifying their hyper-protection. The danger of infection has highlighted the role of telemedicine. Internet-based video communication may ensure full care for chro­nic patients. Those methods favour bes­­ted patients with higher education. Epilepsy does not increase directly the risk of infection, but its comorbidities may worsen the course of the disease. Brain lesions and hypoxia, stress, insomnia and fever joining the infection increase seizure susceptibility. Because the danger of infection ma­de telemedicine an essential tool of pa­tient care, education and better computer supply for those in need is crucial. ]
