[Accidental injuries to milk teeth are a common occurrence in young children. Many people – if the injury does not seem serious – do not even consider it a serious injury, because „it’s just a milk tooth” and „another one will grow in its place”. Because of these misconceptions, the aim of this article is to raise awareness of the forms and possible consequences of traumatic injuries to milk teeth and to familiarise health professionals with the treatment of these injuries, thus highlighting the importance of dental care for children, even in the most mildly apparent cases, to protect the germs of the teeth to be eroded.]

[The high blood pressure disease is one of the primary risk factors for the development of other cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to assess the medication habits, sleep quality, and quality of life of patients aged 45 and older living with hypertension.
Our study was a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional survey conducted in 2022 in the form of an online questionnaire among patients aged 45 and older suffering from hypertension (n=143). The data collection tools included the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (8 items), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, EQ-5D-5L, and a self-designed questionnaire.
Lower age was associated with higher levels of medication adherence (R=-0.36; p=0.024). Patients who regularly visited their general practitioner showed more consistent medication intake (p=0.048). Adequate sleep quality positively influenced the quality of life (p<0.001).
Regular visits to the general practitioner not only facilitate medication adherence but also provide an excellent opportunity for patient education and health promotion. Therefore, it has paramount importance to draw the attention of hypertensive patients to the role of regular check-ups with their general practitioner, which can contribute to the prevention of complications arising from hypertension.]

[Diabetes affects the whole body, altering fundamental metabolic processes. The number of people with diabetes is gradually increasing, with a growing proportion of younger and younger people affected. While significant lifestyle changes are needed to manage diabetes, some form of medication is also essential. Often, only the importance of exercise and diet is brought to patients’ attention by professionals, overlooking the importance of oral prevention. A number of oral conditions (e.g. dry mouth, gingivitis) can occur in people with diabetes as a result of poor oral hygiene. It is important to raise awareness of these conditions and how to prevent them at all levels of healthcare.]

[Technical progress in the modern age is rapidly expanding in the fields of health and medicine. Telemedicine is taking off, and global digitalisation is opening up new horizons in all segments of healthcare. Telemedicine has been evolving for decades and can provide a relevant toolkit for preventive and curative care, patient monitoring, and interactions between professionals. Its role is essential for the prevention and better management of common dental diseases. However, in addition to its many advantages, it also has limitations that challenge both professionals and patients visiting the care system.]

Atrial fibrilla- tion diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS) is a new term used for AF resulting from autonomic dysregulation. It is associated with a lower stroke recurrence compared to patients with known AF before a stroke (KAF). The aim of the study was to explore the characteristics and mortality rates in AFDAS patients. 134 ischemic stroke patients (66.1±14.2 years old, n=73 male) were consecutively included in the study.

Stigma is a widespread phenomenon in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and has been shown to affect the quality of life of individuals. This study aims to assess the level of stigma and identify the factors contributing to stigma in patients with PD in Turkey. A total of 142 patients diagno¬sed with PD between June 2022 and March 2023 were included in the study. Sociodemographic data were collected using a sociodemographic information form.
Clinical Neuroscience
The aim of this study is to comprehensively determine the types of affected fibers in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients by employing nerve conduction studies (NCS), sympathetic skin response (SSR) examinations, and current perception threshold (CPT) testing and to analyze the correlation between levodopa use and nerve involvement. This retrospective study included 36 clinically diagnosed PD patients who were recruited between January 2018 and April 2019.
Clinical Neuroscience
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by contradictory clinical outcomes among its several subtypes. The disease can manifest with a tremor-dominant (TD) or a non-tremor-dominant (NTD) phenotype. Although the TD subtype may show a better prognosis, there is limited information on the phenotypic differences regarding the level of axial symptoms. For this reason, in this study it was aimed to make a quantitative comparison of axial posture and spinal mobility between PD with TD and NTD.

[The aim of the research study was to get a better picture of the patient’s quality of life with Huntington’s disease and their caretaker’s. One of the main topics of the investigation was the family, because taking care of a Huntington’s patient can have a big impact on their lives. Our further concern was to introduce the concept for the families and test their open mindedness, if they would take assistance from nurse graduates to make the patient’s medical journey shorter and help with their everyday life challenges.
The cross-sectional research was done by validated tests, as well as, self-made tests which contained socio-demographic data and questions regarding the disease. The trial took place at Semmelweis University, at the Institute of Genomic Medicine and Rare Disorders in collaboration with the patients and their families.
According to the patients, their life quality is affected more physically than their mental health. The experiment showed that the disease has a big impact on the quality of life of the family members. The family members would be more open in regards to accepting help from advanced practice nurses.
Huntington’s disease has a negative impact on the quality of life of the patients and their families. It would be adequate to study if the provided help of advanced practice nurses could improve their quality of life. ]
