“…Fight against smoking through a variety of cessation methods can be effective especially by education in young people, including students [14]. Active and passive smoking, main causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease, are present in high percentage in Mures County, according to our formerly published research data [15]. Smoking and exposure to indirect smoke was present in the buildings of our university during implementation of smoke-free policies in the previous years, and the amendments in the legislation due to the new national clean air law significantly improved air quality in our university campus [16].…”

Objectives of the study were to investigate the smoking prevalence, knowledge, attitudes and beliefs among Romanian pharmacy students. Surveys were conducted among pharmacy students during 2014�2016. A locally-adapted version of the Global Health Professional Students Survey was used, which is a self-administered questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization to assess smoking behaviors and attitudes among health professional students. The study was conducted at the University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology (UMPhST) of Targu Mures, Romania (UMPh of Targu Mures, at that time). All pharmacy students (1st�5th years) were invited to participate in this study. In the first year of the study 414, during the second year 396, and in the third year a number of 449 pharmacy students were enrolled in our survey. There were assessed the prevalence of current cigarette smoking and other tobacco use in pharmacy students, defined as smoking or other tobacco use at least once in the past 30 days, and also the opinion, knowledge and attitude of these students regarding the tobacco-related legislation. 29.5% of the evaluated pharmacy students were current smokers in the first year of the study, 26.1% in the second year and 29.9% in the third year of the study. 45.7% of the enrolled pharmacy students used other tobacco products in the past 30 days in 2014, 41.5% in 2015 and 44.4% in 2016. Among current smokers desire to quit was high, ranging between 93.6�96.4%. Support for tobacco-banning legislation among pharmacy students showed significant increase in the last year of our study. This study contributes to knowledge on tobacco use among pharmacy students at the UMPhST in Targu Mures, Romania. Our results suggest that smoking prevalence in this cohort is low and that these health professional students are supportive of tobacco control policies. At the end of study period the National Clean Air Law nr. 15/2016 was implemented in Romania and our university became the first smoke-free medical university in the country.

“…A tanulmányban részt vevő, főként vidéki lakosok átlagos alvási időtartama meghaladta az ajánlott 7 órát, 70%-ukra volt jellemző az egészséges alvási időtartam. Ez nagyobb százalékos arányt jelent, mint amit Krueger és mtsa egy amerikai felmérésben [16], illetve Balint és mtsai egy 2017-es, Romániában végzett tanulmány során közöltek, ahol Maros megyében a felmért lakosságnak csak az 59,4%-ánál volt elegendő az alvásidő [17]. Az eredmény egyik lehetséges magyarázata, hogy vidéki környezetben szegényesebb a különböző esti-éjszakai (szabadidős stb.)…”

Introduction: Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality may be associated with weight gain; this association has not yet been studied in Roma (Gipsy) population. Aim: Our aim was to study sleep patterns in two adult Roma subgroups (the wealthy Gabor and the poor Lovari Roma), compared to the majority of Hungarian population, in relation to obesity, knowing that Roma population has specific socio-cultural characteristics, with a rapidly changing lifestyle. Method: A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in a rural region in Transylvania, where the above groups are cohabiting. The groups were age- and gender-matched. Results: Sleep duration was 7.18 ± 1.6 hours in the Gabor Roma, 7.67 ± 1.5 hours in the Lovari Roma and 7.37 ± 1.5 hours in the non-Roma group. In average, 70% of them had enough sleep (≥7 hours). 38.6% of Gabor Roma, 27.1% of Lovari Roma and 23.5% of non-Roma had poor-quality sleep (p = 0.05). Gabor Roma had significantly higher body mass index (31.1 ± 4.6 versus 27.4 ± 5.2 and 28.66 ± 5.7 kg/m2, p = 0.004), and this correlated inversely with sleep duration (F = 14.85, p<0.000). Conclusion: Gabor Roma had significantly higher percentage of poor-quality sleep. Sleep duration and sleep quality were linked with obesity, mainly in the Roma population.

“…Autoimmunity can also trigger diet-related pathological states, which also represent a recent health problem [3]. Appropriate diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, having antioxidant capacity, can decrease the incidence of associated cardiovascular pathology, which is very common in obesity and related diabetes [4].…”

Obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease. Its relationship with periodontal disease and other chronic diseases is well documented but the underlying mechanism is under investigation. It is quite difficult to say whether obesity predisposes an individual to periodontal disease or periodontal disease affects lipid metabolism, or both. The purpose of the study consists in evaluating the periodontal clinical parameters in obese patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, before and after surgical treatment of obesity through the procedure called gastric sleeve Our study consists of a group of 38 patients diagnosed with morbid obesity who were surgically treated by gastric sleeve surgery at the Surgery Department II of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital Targu Mures. Patients with pre-operative and psot-operative examination at 3 months and 6 months respectively in which either periodontal index were index of plaque, index of probing depth and index of bleeding on probing. Correlations between parondontal clinical indexes (PD, PI, BOP) were calculated before and after gastric sleeve at 3 and 6 months respectively. The bleeding on probing index (BOP) reveals a complete decrease in postoperative bleeding time. Patients at 3 months experience minor bleeding during testing and no longer showing bleeding at 6 months. The results provide evidence that there is a link between obesity and periodontitis, however the risk factors that aggravate these diseases should be clarified to elucidate the direction of this association.
