STUDY ON THE USE OF M-HEALTH APPLICATIONS IN ROMANIAN MEDICAL PRACTICE

Objective. The aim of this study is to identify m-Health services in Romania and evaluate their effectiveness in line with international experience. Material and method. The study provides for the analysis of telemedicine services and applications focusing on the specific mobile health of international and national literature and practice through the Internet. We accessed and analyzed m-Health applications and programs, articles or reports, starting from the objectives, procedures, services belonging to, the cost, the impact, the behavior of the beneficiaries. Results. Relevant m-Health WHO reports, studies on applications used in Europe, recent reviews on the systematic analysis of the impact of m-Health applications, examples of applications in Romania have been identified. The main areas where these applications / services are present on the Romanian medical services market have been identified, specifying the objectives, the beneficiaries of services, their impact and their behavior Discussions. The applications of mobile medicine (m-Health) are becoming more frequent, more diversified, using various sensors and addressing chronic diseases such as: diabetes, asthma, chronic lung disease, epilepsy, coronary pathology, follow-up and management of susceptible patients as well as concerning communicable diseases and tracing of vectors of certain communicable diseases and endemic areas. Applications are also used for emergency and disaster management. The cost of accessing and receiving health services is decreasing, with higher accessibility, including in remote areas and with deficient medical services (for Romania as the Danube Delta, mountain areas etc.). Conclusions. Although m-Health services have begun to spread also in Romania, we still can not assess their effectiveness because the impact is still quite limited. Positive results are reported especially in the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes (especially juvenile diabetes) and epilepsy, significant decrease in the time of presentation of the patient with myocardial infarction to a hospital capable of initiating angiographic intervention per primum, better management of the urgency, and pre-hospital assistance. It also increases the addressability of patients in rural and remote areas to quality medical services

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DENTO-MAXILARY ANOMALIES AND POSTURAL DISEASES

The aim of the study is to address integratively the ora and maxillofacial pathology of various etiology, so that starting from the dental anomaly we could prevent somatic imbalances, by rebalancing the postural tonic system (STP). The present research shows that this wish can only be achieved in a multidisciplinary therapeutic team, composed of the dentist, the specialist in medical recovery and the doctor of the primary healthcare facility. The etiological treatment is practically the one that prevents somatic changes in the spine and not the symptomatic therapy. The etiological treatment per se is a method of secondary and tertiary prophylaxis of axial somatic disorders

ASPECTS OF CURRENT RESEARCH ON MELASMA

Melasma is a chronic skin condition, characterized by irregular brown spots, symmetrically distributed over the sun's exposed areas of the body, especially on the face. Although generally a "cosmetic" problem, melasma can significantly affect the quality of life of patients. Its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, as several possible triggers are proposed. Next, we will address certain aspects of melasma, according to the current research

BREASTFEEDING AND POSTMENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS

The bone is a specialized connective tissue, consisting of type 1 collagen fibers and minerals represented as hydroxyapatite crystals. Osteoporosis is a common condition among menopausal women. Breastfeeding has beneficial effects on the health of both the baby and the mother. The purpose of this review is to analyze the results of specialized clinical studies on the effects of breastfeeding and the incidence of postmenopausal osteoporosis

ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES – POSSIBLE LONG-TERM HEALTH IMPACT

Electronic cigarettes are increasingly popular devices that deliver nicotine through aerosols, not burning as in the case of classic cigarettes. Electronic cigarette traders claim that these types of cigarettes are safer than conventional cigarettes and that their use facilitates smoking cessation. However, there are many question marks regarding the long-term safety of using electronic cigarettes. In this review, we wanted to highlight the many vagueness and their possible effect on health
