In particular, the use of smartphones plays a significant role in people’s daily lives, and excessive use of them has a negative impact on our spine. Objective: The aim of this research was to examine the effect of smartphone use on posture among university students. Method: A total of 117 university students participated in our cross-sectional study, mean age 20.69 ± 1.35 years. Measured variables: sociodemographic data, time spent using smartphones (self-reported, screen time), smartphone addiction (Hungarian adaptation of the short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale), cervical spine function (Neck Disability Index), posture in sitting and standing positions (Posture Screen) with and without phone use, neck stability (cervical flexion test), neck retraction muscle strength (cervical retraction test), lumbar motor control (Leg Lowering Test). Statistics: descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Mann–Whitney test, Spearman’s correlation calculation (SPSS 24 v., p<0.05). Results: University students showed significantly worse head posture while using their phones, both in the standing (p<0.001) and sitting positions (p<0.001). Higher smartphone addiction scores correlated with higher Neck Disability Index scores (p<0.001), worse posture (p<0.05), worse neck stability (p = 0.046), and weaker neck retraction strength (p<0.001). We found a significant association between the time spent using smartphones and forward head posture (p<0.05), and worse cervical spine function (p = 0.001). In the case of lumbar motor control, we did not find a significant association with any of the smartphone-related variables. Discussion: Our results are consistent with those of the international literature. Conclusion: Regarding our present sample, the smartphone addiction score correlated with the Neck Disability Index score, posture, and neck stability. Time spent using a smartphone was significantly associated with posture, and university students had significantly worse posture while using a smartphone than without.

The aim of our study is to understand the generational and demographic differences in job satisfaction and burnout among general and thoracic surgeons in Hungary. Method: Between October 1, 2024, and December 1, 2024, we conducted an online, anonymous questionnaire survey among 97 Hungarian general and thoracic surgeons to assess their levels of job satisfaction and burnout. Job satisfaction was measured using the Hungarian version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, which evaluates intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall satisfaction dimensions. Burnout was assessed with the shortened version of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, which covers exhaustion and disengagement dimensions. Results: Regarding job satisfaction, Baby Boomer generation members gave statistically significantly higher scores on intrinsic factors (p = 0.041). No statistically significant differences were observed among Generation X and Y members (intrinsic: p = 0.055, extrinsic: p = 0.19, overall: p = 0.25, and intrinsic: p = 0.073, extrinsic: p = 0.36, overall: p = 0.39, respectively). The lowest scores were reported by Generation Z members, with a statistically significant difference in intrinsic factors (p = 0.023). A statistically significant relationship was found between age and intrinsic (p<0.001) and overall (p = 0.028) job satisfaction, as well as between years spent at the workplace and intrinsic satisfaction (p = 0.019), and years in the specialty and intrinsic satisfaction (p = 0.011). Residents also showed statistically significantly lower scores on intrinsic (p = 0.006) and overall (p = 0.043) job satisfaction questions. No statistically significant differences were observed in exhaustion and disengagement between the Baby Boomer (p = 0.72 and p = 0.277), Generation X (p = 0.49 and p = 0.086), and Generation Y (p = 0.28 and p = 0.14) groups. However, Generation Z members gave statistically significantly lower scores for exhaustion (p = 0.003), although the difference in disengagement was not significant (p = 0.21). A significant correlation was found between age and exhaustion (p = 0.002) and between resident status and exhaustion (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Younger surgeons and members of Generation Z experience higher levels of job dissatisfaction and certain dimensions of burnout, highlighting the need for differentiated leadership strategies. The findings emphasize the importance of considering generational needs and integrating younger generations into future surgical workplaces.

The previously used “blind sampling” technique of prostate biopsy was superseded by developing the ultrasound- guided methods and later assisted by more precise imaging. The current state-of-the-art version relies on multiparametric MRI analysis and fusion planned biopsy. Objective: Our aim was to present, for the first time in Hungary, our experiences gained through artificial intelligence-assisted image analysis and three-dimensional virtual modeling in transperineal prostate biopsy procedures. Method: Between November 2020 and April 2024, at our institute, we performed 227 prostate biopsies following Watson Elementary® artificial intelligence-assisted image analysis and PI-RADS (v. 2.1) classification, as well as three-dimensional digital modeling. The procedures were conducted under anesthesia using the BiopSee® perineal biopsy station. Our results were analyzed retrospectively. Results: During the specified period, 227 biopsies were performed on patients suspected of prostate cancer. The mean age was 66.7 ± 7.8 years, and the average PSA level was 14.3 ng/mL. The average time in the operating room was 26.2 minutes. No infectious complications occurred. Spontaneous hematuria or hematospermia was recorded in 86 cases. A transurethral catheter was inserted in 7 cases; however, 5 (71%) of them were removed within 24 hours. The tumor detection rate was 18% for PI-RADS 3, 72% for PI-RADS 4, and 95.5% for PI-RADS 5. The distribution of clinically significant prostate cancer was 7%, 44%, and 84%, respectively, for these PI-RADS categories. For confirmed prostate cancer cases, 48 radical prostatectomies were performed, and 20 patients are under active surveillance. Discussion: The two emerging problems in relation to prostate biopsies – the detection rate of clinically significant cancers and the risk of infection – encourage medicine to continue to develop. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence-assisted analysis and digital model-based transperineal fusion biopsy offer high patient safety and transparent diagnostic assistance. Transperineal sampling, performed according to our institute’s protocol, has minimized the risk of infection to virtually zero. The standardization of imaging and the technical unification of sampling protocols can support diagnostic and therapy-based decision-making.

The solid theoretical knowledge acquisition is of paramount importance as it provides the basis for clinical subjects and, after graduation, for everyday clinical thinking and decision-making. Research has shown that students’ knowledge of theoretical subjects after university examinations can be significantly reduced, leading to difficulties in completing clinical studies and even in medical practice. Previous studies suggest that students forget approximately a third to a quarter of what they have learned in a year. However, the extent of forgetting in individual studies varies widely from discipline to discipline. Teaching methods and learning strategies that support active learning – such as retrieval practice and spaced repetition – have been shown to be effective in promoting long-term knowledge retention. Emphasizing the clinical relevance of theoretical material, taking steps towards an integrated curriculum can also contribute to deeper understanding and long-term knowledge retention. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive overview of the scientific findings on the long-term knowledge retention of medical students and to provide insights into the field of effective learning and teaching strategies that have been shown to be effective among medical students.

At the same time, corticosteroids, applied as antenatal prophylaxis, and another, endogenous steroid hormone, active vitamin D, have also been shown to significantly impact fetal development and perinatal morbidity. Professor Karmazsin’s group pointed out to the relevance of corticosteroid receptors in mediating the effects of the hormone both in type II alveolar cells of neonates, as well as in leukemic cells.

Objective: Our aim in this study was to investigate the relationship between competence transgression and role clarity, role conflict, stress, and burnout and determine whether each professional group (i.e., residents, nurses, psychiatrists, and psychologists) showed a correlation with these factors. Method: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among acute psychiatric professionals (n = 105) in Hungary between November 2021 and April 2022. The main data collection instrument was the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II. Our questionnaire was complemented by a question on competence transgression.
