[Delirium is defined as a disturbance of consciousness and cognition that develops over a short period of time and fluctuates over time. During the last decade, the number of publications dealing with different aspects of delirium have been grown. The key points in most articles are pharmacological prevention and treatment, but because the rise of health care expenditures, all activities, which cost-effectively support the care process, is getting more and more important. The aim of the study: The aim of this research is to review the non-pharmacological prevention and treatment possibilities of delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. Systematic review, using articles published between 1999 and 2019 in PubMed and Wiley Online Libraries. Non-pharmacologic treatments significantly reduced the incidence (p=0.003–0.045) and duration (p=0.009–0.03) of delirium. The interventions also contributed to decrease the number of episodes (p=0.03), and to make the symptoms lighter. Early mobilisation and adequate fluid and electrolyte intake are key factors in reducing the incidence of delirium. Measuring oxygen saturation and support, appropriate nutrition, effective pain treatment, minimizing drug-interactions, maintaining good sleep and managing sensory dysfunctions have an effect on incidence, duration and severity of delirium.]

[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.]

[The dental hygiene of the elderly is showing a devastating picture worldwide. Among the reasons we can find: behavioural factors, medicines, different illnesses.

[The incidence of oral cavity tumors is showing an increasing trend, with cause including harmful behaviors, improper nutrition, and inadequate lifestyle. There are many known pre-cancerous conditions, the early diagnosis and treatment of which can prevent malignant degeneration. This is only possible if people conciously pay attention to their oral hygiene and do not neglect regular dental chech-ups. It is important to draw the attention of lay people to this issue in all areas of healthcare.]

[In the course of our research, we compared the pre-pregnancy test mass index of Hungarian women with the results of the National Nutrition and Nutritional Status Examinations.

Our cross-sectional study was conducted between 01.01.2020 and 01.08.2020. During the nonrandom, targeted, expert sample selection, the target group included pregnant women or mothers raising at least one minor child (N=1423). Exclusion criteria include the omission of mandatory questions. Our survey was done online, with a self-filled questionnaire, anonymously. In the questionnaire, we used sociodemographic, anthropometric, pregnancy and nutrition-related questions. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 25.0 statistical software, descriptive statistics and tables.

The normal BMI was typical only for those under 20 years of age (21 kg/m2). The largest proportion of people over 20 years of age were overweight (>25 kg/m2). Every fourth pregnant woman (43.4%) and every third mother (33%) reported that excess body weight does not bother them at all.

Based on the body mass index, Hungarian women are already overweight before pregnancy, which entails an increased health and financial burden.]
