Pulmonary rehabilitation and the family physician.
Summary
Role of pulmonary rehabilitation in the praxis of
family doctors
In the last decade the number of patients suffering from chronic
respiratory disease increased significantly in Hungary similarly to
the tendencies in the developed industrialized countries. Pulmonary
rehabilitation is indispensable in the treatment of the patients and
improvement of quality of life beside drug treatment. According to the
principles of the general rehabilitation this care includes
prevention, medical rehabilitation etc.. In case of patients suffering
from chronic respiratory disease this task means a lifelong activity
that can not be done without the cooperation of the patients and his
family. One of the goals in the medical treatment is to achieve the
least possible hospitalisation of the patient, therefore the major
part of the period of rehabilitation activity should happen at home.
In order to achieve this appropriate petient education and well
informed family doctors interested in rehabilitation are needed.

however develop in immune compromized adults. In general epidemic
parotitis develops mainly in childhood, the gonads are also

The dry eye syndrome.
Summary:
Dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis
sicca is a frequently encountered problem in ophthalmologic practice.
It is characterized by chronic dryness of the corneal and conjunctival
surfaces. Patients with dry eye syndrome typically have symptoms
ranging from irritation to severe pain. It is essential to make the
correct diagnosis of a dry eye problem, which often is overlooked, and
to differentiate it from other ocular conditions. Current therapies
for dry eye center on the relief of symptoms, since at present no
remedy exists to reverse the condition.
Key words: dry eye syndrome,
keratoconjunctivitis sicca, Sjögren’s syndrome

Aspects of the clinical use of Hl
receptor antagonists.
Summary
Histamine is one of the well known inflammatory
mediator substance. That early suspicions that histamine acts through
more than one receptor have been proved. It is clear that are three
distinct classes of receptors for histamine, designated: Hl,
H2 and H3.
The aim of use antihistamine drugs is elimination
or reduction of clinical symptoms originated from the activation of
different histamine receptors, The first Hl blockers were
developed more than 60 years ago. They are mostly used in the
treatment of different allergic skin and respiratory tract disorders
and for alleviation of pruritus. The newer antihistamines are very
major advance over the older ones. They cause less sedation and
psychomotor impairment. But during the long term can occur unwanted
events -in spite of the most careful clinicopharmacological
investigation - therefore their administration needs regular medical
control. |
