These days replicas are enjoying a renaissance… You have surely experienced that when you buy a significantly cheaper, Chinese-made “replica” of a product, you do not get the same performance. In my childhood, for example, Matchbox cars were popular but expensive. Not everyone could afford them. So many people gifted the much cheaper Chinese knockoffs, which of course often fell apart under the Christmas tree during the first play, causing tears and wailing. My preserved Matchbox cars, however, were played with by my children for years and we put them away in excellent condition for the next generation of the family…

Acute and chronic conditions require ultrasound beams of different strengths (intensities). A recent condition, one a few weeks old, and one that has been present for several months must be treated differently. You can learn more from my video.

The ultrasound beam can be continuous or pulsed (intermittent). Continuous beams deliver "a lot" of energy, which is excellent for chronic complaints, while fresh injuries are very sensitive to high energy, so in such cases pulsed (with short pauses) ultrasound is appropriate. Details in the film.

Cavitation is a beauty treatment application in which a low-frequency ultrasound can “release” the fat droplet from the fat cell. With professional cavitation ultrasound, 10–14 treatments can remove 2–3 cm of circumference from the abdomen, hips, thighs, etc. However, not every ultrasound has a meaningful cavitation effect!

One cosmetic application of ultrasound is cavitation, which is used to break down fat tissue. However, you should know that the cavitation effect depends on the ultrasound frequency, so not all ultrasound has a significant fat-reducing effect. You can expect a strong cavitation effect only at frequencies below 640 kHz, while therapeutic 1 MHz ultrasound produces a minimal effect, and 3 MHz an almost negligible one.

From spring to autumn, millions of weeds bloom along ditches, agricultural fields and neglected gardens and begin releasing their pollen. Many people react sensitively when they come into contact with these. This is hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. Many different pollens can trigger it, such as hazel, poplar, ragweed or wild hemp. Its symptoms include nasal congestion, itchy eyes and endless sneezing.

Dear Doctor! My mother recently began complaining of sudden, very severe back pain. I took her to the emergency clinic, where several vertebrae in her back were found to be collapsed. Further examinations revealed a large tumor in her left breast that had metastasized to the lymph nodes, the spine, the lungs and the liver. They said it is inoperable… She was given a morphine patch for the severe pain.

In the series about professionals, I now introduce Gréta Hepp, who represents the young, well-traveled generation. With her degree earned abroad and her overseas experience and knowledge, she wants to make a career at home. Her favorite area is movement rehabilitation for athletes — she helps athletes recover from various injuries and surgeries as quickly as possible and regain their pre-injury condition. She uses several methods, including the most modern muscle stimulation. I asked her about her work and goals.

We met Misi Bodócs in our childhood. He was a member of the team from the neighboring town and we often competed against each other at pioneer Olympics. Life then took us in different directions and 35 years later we bumped into each other by chance. We ran into each other while cycling in the Buda hills (for lack of a better phrase). At Normafa we even stopped for a refreshment and a slice of homemade strudel at the little kiosk. After the usual “how are you” and “what are you doing” questions, however, our conversation took an unexpected turn…

Plantar fascia inflammation (or medically fasciitis plantaris) is one of the most common causes of sole and heel pain. Beneath the skin of your sole runs a thick connective tissue sheet (formerly called fascia) from the toes to the heel bone. Its inflammation mainly occurs where it meets the bone, that is, at the heel bone or in front at the bases of the toes. The first symptom is a stabbing pain during the first steps in the morning. After a few steps it "warms up", but over time the pain lasts for increasingly long periods. It is very hard to "get rid" of. It can be treated at home, but be prepared for weeks — and more often months — of regular treatment to achieve full resolution.

Anyone who has seen a blood pressure measurement might think nothing could be simpler. That's not always the case, and knowing a few basic rules can protect you from incorrect measurement results that could lead to a wrong diagnosis or unnecessary or inappropriate treatment.
