Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression that occurs in connection with the changing seasons. It is known by many names, such as seasonal depression, winter or summer depression, and sometimes referred to as Blue Monday. It causes significant changes in mood and behavior, so it’s worth taking seriously. The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder follow a seasonal pattern, meaning they appear at the start of a season and […]

Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or body contouring, is a plastic surgical procedure in which subcutaneous fat tissue is removed from certain areas of the body—such as the abdomen, hips, thighs or arms. As a result, the shape and contour of these areas improve. What should you know about adipose tissue? An average adult has about 30 billion fat cells. Fat tissue is made up of these fat cells and is [...]

Regular participation in screening examinations could prevent a large proportion of breast cancer, which is a leading cancer among women aged 45 to 65. In addition, 'self-examination' can also play an important role in reducing the number of women who die from breast cancer. Imaging tests, such as breast ultrasound and mammography, can help early [...]

Magnetotherapy is a widely used physiotherapy method in Western Europe. However, in our country it is used far less than it deserves. The electromagnetic energy is produced by a current flowing through a coil. Magnetotherapy accelerates microcirculation and tissue regeneration processes. In this article you can read which conditions magnetotherapy is suitable for. Here I write about how to apply magnetotherapy to achieve the best possible results.

I present a new treatment option in this article, non-invasive vagus stimulation (abbreviated tVNS). This is a neuromodulation method. Vagus stimulation itself is not new; it has been used clinically for several years. Devices that can deliver safe and effective transcutaneous treatment, however, have only become available recently. This article is about that development.

Bone fracture is a common problem. Usually a bone breaks as a result of an accident, a fall, or physical impact. Your body has a wonderful self-repairing system that can restore this major damage and “weld” the bones together. If your body is in good condition and can concentrate only on healing the fracture, it still takes 2–3 months to recover. If […]

Most of you are probably already familiar with the term dental hygienist, and I’ve even heard you call this type of professional an oral hygienist. However, if asked to explain exactly which areas fall within their scope, you might find it difficult — I’d like to fill that gap now with this summary article.

The steroid injection is a popular therapeutic method that can quickly help relieve pain and inflammation in a specific area of the body. It is most often given as an initial treatment for joint or periarticular complaints (for example ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine or wrist — and larger tendons).

Diagnosing certain heart conditions can be challenging. This is especially true for those that occur only occasionally, at unpredictable times, come on suddenly and last for a short time. Examples include some arrhythmias or transient reductions in myocardial blood supply. Often, by the time you see a doctor and an ECG is taken, the heart may have returned to normal and no abnormality is visible. If such episodes recur, a Holter ECG test can help "catch" and identify the problem.

It has surely occurred in your family, among acquaintances, or coworkers: a malignant tumor, that is, cancer. You also know that even today there is not always a curative method for cancer and it claims many victims. There are many things already proven by science to cause cancer. Even more are suspected of contributing to its development, and countless others are suspected. But one can never say in a given case which factors initiated the pathological process. Science records numerous risk factors whose awareness can help prevent and avoid tumors. In this article I go through these.

As a professional, I often encounter that the health of our teeth does not get much attention until a more serious problem appears – for example pain, inflammation, or allergic reactions. I remember my parents often telling me to take care of my eyes, my face, my heart, my joints, but that I should also look after my teeth — that somehow never came up. Of course, they always tried to make sure I brushed at night and that I didn't eat so many sweets, but somehow it never felt like a very big issue.

“Meditation means more than sitting under a tree and daydreaming. Meditation is the highest form of awareness. Meditation means noticing what kinds of thoughts, feelings, concepts, and beliefs touch us, and recognizing that there is a ‘pause,’ a choice, and that we do not have to respond to everything automatically.” Kurt Tepperwein Meditation is a mental state in which [...]
