Overweight as a risk factor for the development of civilization diseases and urogenital dysfunctions

Overweight and obesity represent a significant risk factor for the development of several diseases of civilisation, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and various forms of cancer. They also contribute significantly to urogenital dysfunctions such as urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and pelvic organ prolapse. Mechanisms that link excess weight to these dysfunctions include increased intra-abdominal pressure, hormonal changes, and chronic inflammatory processes that negatively affect the structure and function of the urogenital system. Prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity are therefore crucial not only in terms of reducing the risk of civilization diseases, but also in improving the quality of life through the prevention and treatment of urogenital dysfunctions.

Predkladaný vysokoškolský učebný text MUDr. Zuzany Kozelovej, PhD. Chlopňové chyby, ktorý vznikol riešením projektu KEGA 011UPJŠ-4/2023, je v slovenskom písomníctve unikátny práve kvôli využitiu simulátorovej medicíny vo výučbe auskultácie srdca. Publikácia je vytvorená podľa požiadaviek stanovených v rámci medicínskeho vzdelávacieho procesu Európskej únie. Autorka vysokoškolský text pripravila ako prípravu na praktickú výučbu so simulátorom Cardiology Patient Simulator "K" ver 2(Kyoto Kagaku), ktorým disponuje Centrum simulátorovej a virtuálnej medicíny (CSVM) na Lekárskej fakulte UPJŠ. Autorka, špecialistka v odbore vnútorné lekárstvo, využila pritom svoje bohaté klinické ako aj pedagogické skúsenosti z praktickej výučby študentov medicíny.
