Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy with a benign prognosis in an immunocompetent patient – A case report

ZEYNEP ÖZDEMIR, SERAP Ruken TEKER, BURCU YÜKSEL, AYSUN SOYSA

John Cunningham virus (JCV) is most commonly acquired in childhood and is often asymptomatic throughout life. However, in the case of primary or secondary immunosuppression, it is known to cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in the central nervous system. Hereby, we describe a rare case of PML in a patient without known factors of immunosuppression or use of immunomodulation.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome caused by intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin]

AKAN Serkan , ATMACA Colak Melek

[ Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. In the vast majority of patients, 1-4 weeks before the onset of GBS-related symptoms, an event such as upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract infection, surgical intervention or vaccination is present. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of GBS that occurred after intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy in the absence of tuberculosis or any other infection in the English literature.]

[Cardiovascular risk of diabetic female patients ]

ÁBEL Tatjána

[This study reviews the cardiovascular risk of women with type 1, gestational, and type 2 diabetes. 
Research data published so far in this topic have confirmed a number of cardiovascular risk factors, which may cause differences in risk profile between female and male diabetic patients. As soon as recognizing diabetes, we have to concern the patients’ cardioprotective diet, assessment of their cardiovascular risk factors and aiming their therapeutic target values.  ]

[Development of training programs – development directions of nursing education programs]

VIZVÁRI László

[Educational programs play a key role in managing the educational process. They contain important and useful information for training institutions, instructors and students, for organizing and conducting training. This issue is of particular importance nowadays, as the strengthening of the autonomy of vocational training institutions and the end of the compulsory nature of the program curricula present new challenges to schools. Based on the regulations, vocational training institutions must independently develop their training programs (of which the educational program is a part) based on the training and output requirements (KKK) and can no longer rely on the guidelines of the centrally issued program curricula (PTT).
The following summary study reviews methods and approaches that can assist educators in creating quality nursing education programs.]

[Fear of Falling among Geriatric Patients: a Narrative Review]

KOVÁCS Éva, SIMON András

[The independent living of older people, who form an increasing proportion of society, is fundamentally determined by falls and the fear of falling. Fear of falling becomes pathological when loss of self-confidence and experience of fear of falling become persistent. Consequently, physical activity of older people becomes also limited, which compromises their future functional abilities and increases the risk of institutionalisation. This narrative review discusses the terminology used in the literature, the prevalence of fear of falling, and the methods used to evaluate it. It also outlines how it can be prevented and how it can be reduced (or even eliminated) based on current research.]
