Both depressive and malignant disorders are endemic, furthermore, they are also frequently comorbid. In this narrative review, we briefly discuss the epidemiological aspects of the association between depression and cancer, including the following 1) the prevalence of depression among patients with cancer is higher than that of the general population; 2) the incidence of cancer is higher among subjects with depression; 3) depression is associated with elevated cancer-specific mortality; and 4) the suicide mortality among cancer patients. Furthermore, we also discuss the possible etiological explanations of the frequent co-occurrence of depression and malignancies, including those biological and psychological factors that may explain how depression (and/or its treatment) may lead to the development of malignancies and vice versa. Finally, some aspects of screening and treatment of depression in cancer patients are also considered. Related to this, we may state that, taking into consideration that depression isluding those biological and psychological factors that may explain how depression (and/or its treatment) may lead to the development of malignancies and vice versa. Finally, some aspects of screening and treatment of depression in cancer patients are also considered. Related to this, we may state that, taking into consideration that depression is frequently underdiagnosed in cancer patients, screening is recommended in this population. However, screening for depression is valueable only if the screened patients found depressed have access to psychiatric services where the final diagnosis can be made and some kind of antidepressive treatment is available.

This condition is characterized by high levels of D-dimer and fibrinogen, prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Method Blood samples from three COVID-19 patients treated in a Hungarian intensive care unit were collected and analyzed with ClotPro® tests. EX-tests, IN-test, FIB-tests, RVV-tests, and TPA-tests were performed. The results were interpreted with respect to the clinical condition of the patients. Results Procoagulation, hypercoagulation and either fibrinolysis or a "shut down" phenomenon of the fibrinolytic process were found with ClotPro®. The ClotPro® parameters were consistent with the conventional coagulation tests and corresponded with the criteria of non-overt disseminated intravascular coagulation. Conclusion These findings encourage further investigations to elucidate the underlying pathophysiology of thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients and may support the introduction of full dose anticoagulation with or without antiplatelet therapy. Interventional clinical trials may be helpful in defining the appropriate drug(s), for this purpose, the algorithms of administration, and the optimal duration of therapy. At present, the authorization of a clinical trial that attempts to answer these questions is in progress.

Metal ion changes can start pathological processes, however, the pathological processes may also lead to changes in metal ion concentration. In this study, the authors summarize the physiologically present metal ions' change in liver diseases with various aetiologies, the consequences are discussed as well as the connections with the progression. Further, the authors point out the element concentration changes as diagnostic or prognostic values for the liver diseases as well. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(22) 917-923.A seven-year-old girl was referred to the Department of Periodontology of the Semmelweis University with a symmetric bilateral, painless, non-inflammatory diffuse enlargement on the lingual aspects of her lower jaw. The family history revealed that her mother and elder sister had Recklinghausen's disease with typical characteristic dermatological signs and they are registered by the National NF Registry. Extraoral examination revealed an evident protrusion of the lips. Intraorally, the buccal gingiva around the upper and lower teeth appeared normal. The little patient had neither dermal nor oral mucous membrane signs characteristic of NF1. With the consent of her parents, the lingual firm mass of gingival enlargement was excised under local anesthesia and the removed tissue was histologically analyzed. The histology approved the clinical diagnosis as solitary neurofibroma. The postoperative healing was uneventful. Because of her very young age and the subtotal excision of the tumor, the patient has been regularly monitored. After one and a half years, recurrence or other sign of tumor regrowth have not been observed. The panoramic radiograph showed normal bone morphology and an age-related dental status with mixed dentition and undisturbed tooth eruption. The present case with a midline bilateral diffuse gingival overgrowth in the mouth of a 7-year-old girl without any characteristic dermatological signs in a family with genetically proven Recklinghausen's disease is very rare and unique in the literature. this website Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(22) 924-930.Introduction In recent years, a significant mortality peak has been observed several times during the first months in Hungary. So far, no mortality study clarified the connection between the mortality peaks and influenza with results comparable with findings from other countries. Aim Calculation of the influenza-related number of death and excess mortality rates in Hungary for the period between 2009/10 and 2016/17, using the statistical package FluMONO. Method We applied the FluMOMO methods, a multivariable time series model with all-cause mortality as outcome, and with influenza-activity and extreme temperature as explanatory variables adjusting for time trend and seasonality. As an indicator of weekly influenza-activity (IA), we used the percentage of consultations for influenza-like illness (ILI) in general practices. Results According to our estimation, 1091, 2969, 4036, 2336, 2608, 6470, 51 and 5162 deaths were attributable to influenza epidemics in the 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, respectively.
