The patch test has been the standard diagnostic tool of verifying contact hypersensitivity for decades. The test’s methodological elements and the tested allergen groups are the achievements of a dynamically changing process of the 20th century. Most commonly, the environmental standard baseline series is used in everyday clinical practice. Te frst environmental series in Hungary, which was recommended for national use, was created in the Allergology Laboratory of the National Dermatological and Venereological Institute in the 1970 years. It consisted of 21 allergens. Afer the Institute’s closure, the Semmelweis University, Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Dermatooncology continued to perform the patch testing. Te number of the baseline series members became more than doubled by now. This review aims to summarise the alterations in the environmental standard baseline series of the Allergology Laboratory of the National Dermatological and Venereological Institute and the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Dermatooncology of the Semmelweis University and the sensitisation frequencies registered from 1976 to 2016 per 10 year periods.

AbstractAssessment of fetal neurobehavior and detection of neurological impairment prenatally has been a great challenge in perinatal medicine. The evolution of four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound not only enabled a better visualization of fetal anatomy but also allowed the study of fetal behavior in real time. Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET) was developed for the assessment of fetal neurobehavior and the detection of neurological disorders, based on the assessment of the fetus by application of 4D ultrasound in the same way that a neonate is assessed postnatally. KANET is a method that has been applied for the past 10 years and studies show that it is a strong diagnostic tool and can be introduced into everyday clinical practice. We present all data from studies performed up to now on KANET.

Abstract: Hyponatremia is a most common disorder of electrolytes encountered in everyday clinical practice. Although many cases are mild and relatively asymptomatic, hyponatremia is nonetheless important clinically because of the potential for substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the knowledge of hyponatremia since the mid-20th century, this common disorder remains incompletely understood in many basic areas because of its causation by multiple etiologies with differing pathophysiological mechanisms. Up to this time, the optimal treatment strategies have not been well defined. The authors present 3 typical hypotonic hyponatremic patients for colleages in clinical practice for studying, for establishing a common conception for the managing of hyponatremia.

Summary Background: The provision of mental healthcare for patients with schizophrenia is still characterized both by knowledge gaps and by treatment gaps in everyday clinical practice. Aim: This article discusses the different types of treatment gaps in schizophrenia and describes actions taken to overcome these gaps especially in Europe.

Introduction: Extension of electrocardiographic monitoring via loop recorder implantation may increase the diagnostic yield of syncope work-up. Aim: In this retrospective observational study, the authors wanted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of implantable loop recorder in the everyday clinical practice. Method: The authors analyzed the electronically stored data of all patients who underwent loop recorder implantation between 2005 and 2014 in their cardiology department because of recurrent syncope of undetermined origin. Results: There were 52 loop recorder implantations within the study period. During the 167 (±136) days of monitoring, 36 (69.2%) diagnostic events occurred. In two-thirds of events, (46.2% of all monitored patients) a specific arrhythmia diagnosis was reached, allowing definitive treatment in these cases. In this selected population, there was no correlation between age, presence of known high-risk predictors, or accompanying trauma, and the mechanism of syncope. Conclusions: The high diagnostic rate of implantable loop recorder in the everyday clinical practice is in accordance with the findings in prospective clinical studies. This observation supports the early application of loop recorder in the diagnostic algorithm of syncope. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(15), 609–613.
