Are Medical Students More Prejudiced? Comparison of University Students' Attitudes Towards Sexual Minorities by Faculties and Cultural background: A Study From Hungary.

Sexual and gender minorities often experience discrimination or stigmatization during health encounters. When patients feel stigmatized, they are more likely to delay seeking help and it affects patient cooperation and compliance, thus undermining therapeutic efficacy itself. We examined knowledge and attitude toward LGBT+ people among Hungarian ( = 743) and foreign ( = 130) medical students of the four Hungarian medical universities and 188 students from other faculties.

Atmospheric fronts as minor cardiovascular risk factors, a new approach to preventive cardiology.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally and represent 31% of all global deaths. The aim of our study was to determine the influence of front effects on acute cardiovascular diseases (ACVDs).

Methods: We obtained all ACVD admissions in a Central-European region, Hungary, Budapest.

Complex effects of atmospheric parameters on acute cardiovascular diseases and major cardiovascular risk factors: data from the Cardiometeorology study.

Several studies have examined the cardiovascular effects of atmospheric parameters as separate factors; however, few have investigated atmospheric parameters' joint effects. We aim to explore the joint effects of atmospheric parameters on acute cardiovascular diseases (ACVDs) and on major cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs). We correlated all ACVD admissions with major CRFs and local atmospheric conditions during a 5-year study period.
