[This study presents the complete history of the Hungarian vaccine production, partly in association with the process of fighting vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, and underlines the fact that every government actively contributed to the age-adjusted mandatory vaccination schedule of the past 140 years. It demonstrates the various achievements from the smallpox lymph production through the launch of diphtheria serum production at Phylaxia and the establishment of the National Public Health Institute (OKI) with its vaccine production and the later institutional transformation of OKI into Humán as economic corporation to its closure. Among all OKI’s vaccine production activities, this study focuses on the production of influenza vaccines, due to its international importance in the 1960s and 1970s. The vaccine production against diphtheria tetanus and pertussis stands out from Humán’s activities, and the tetanus component of this vaccine is still used in the products of a multinational vaccine manufacturer. ]

[Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most frequently used pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, a number of studies emphasized that NSAIDs were damaging not only the gastrointestinal (GI), but also the cardiovascular (CV) system, could increase the blood pressure, the frequency of coronary events (angina, myocardial infarction) and stroke incidence, as well as they might deteriorate renal functions. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) did not find evidence that administering NSAIDs could increase the risk of developing COVID-19 or worsened the condition of COVID-19 patients. However, unwanted effects of specific drugs differ substantially in their occurrence and seriousness as well. It seemed to be for a long time that the NSAIDs provoked higher GI-risk was closely related to the COX1/COX2 selectivity, like the cardiovascular (CV) risk to the COX2/COX1 selectivity, however, the recent data did not prove it clearly. Based on the available literature while pondering the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse events, among all NSAIDs the aceclofenac profile seemed to be the most favourable.]

[During the past 3 decades, laparoscopic surgery has launched a revolution in operative medicine. The German gynaecologist Kurt Semm transformed the diagnostic laparoscopy for therapeutic procedure, as he performed the first laparoscopic appendectomy. The surgeon Erich Mühe contributed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the set of surgical instruments. All over the world, a wide spectrum of laparoscopic procedures has been applied. Several laparoscopic procedures are now preferred over open approaches. Morbid obesity is associated with significant comorbidity and mortality. Insufficiency of dietary measures lead to development of surgical interventions that resulted in unexpected excellent outcomes. “Metabolic surgery” was born. New methods and rising market of socio-medical requirements inspired progress in plastic surgery. Thanks to innovations in technology, reconstructive breast surgery has opened new ways. In the 1990s the prototype of “master–slave” robot controlled by a surgeon was constructed. Future of robotic surgery depends on cost reduction, development of new technologies and creating the best applications. Cooperation with partner medical specialities is essential for further development in surgery. Despite of obvious impact of new technologies the surgeon's way of thinking, personal qualities decision-making and professional knowledge remain crucial for further evolution. ]

[“What did Lipótmező mean to you?” My friends and acquaintances asked frequently this question in the past decades, concerning the National Institute for Psychiatry and Neurology or well known as the Lipótmező my past workplace and the role it played in my life thus far. It is difficult to give a short answer, but the three and a half decades I have spent there were certainly of decisive importance in my professional and private life as well. Since I was banned from tobacco smoking due to my disease ten years ago, I cannot keep my pipe in my mouth any more. Thus, I decided to recollect the dearest stories kept in my memory, which had the deepest impact on me during my 35 years in Lipótmező both as a doctor and as a man. ]

[Commemorating the 30th anniversary of foundation the journal Lege Artis Medicinae, the author endeavours to review the main developments of diabetology in the same period and arranges their reflections on the journal’s pages. He points out that similar to many other disciplines, the history of development has extremely been rich in the past three decades, thus he focused only on a few issues. The author analyses the changes in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and highlights specific aspects like the importance of early metabolic control, individualized treatment choices, a risk-oriented approach instead of a glucocentric direction, and the role of patient education and a health-conscious lifestyle, which have resulted in the holistic approach of our therapeutic strategy. While using relevant quotes, the author shows that the readers of the journal were also able to keep pace with all events and they were always provided with relevant information by authentic specialists of diabetology. ]

[There is a long history of women in dentistry. Dr. Gizella Barát was the first female dentist in Hungary. She was among the first women admitted to the University in Hungary. Dr. Gizella Barát was a typical example of an emancipated, modern, woman, devoted to medical profession in the early 20th century. After graduation she was employed in the Polyclinic and started there her carreer at professor Armin Rottmann. We follow her life’s story with existing however incomplete biographyc data.]

[In the previous part of these recollections I summarised my experience of three-and-a-half decades gained in the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology as a medical student, later on as a junior physician and finally as a head of department. What follows below is an attempt to define the role Lipótmező played in my life and why it was a fundamentally flawed decision to close down the institute in 2007.]
