Construction Of The World Record Pedestrian Suspension Bridge Reaches A New Milestone
The construction of the bridge connecting Szár Hill and Vár Hill in Sátoraljaújhely reached a new milestone on 3 April. Under the guidance of László Dunai, a professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the BME, the dynamic and static test loads were successfully carried out.
The dynamic test load was conducted first with two, then twelve and finally thirty-two people moving on the bridge rhythmically. According to László Dunai, before opening, one of the most important moments in the life of the bridge are static and dynamic test loads. ‘The loading of the bridge went well, the bridge showed the effects that we had expected during the design phase.

First Musculoskeletal Robotic Surgery Performed At Semmelweis University
In Hungary, the first robot-assisted arthroplasty of the knee joint financed by social insurance was performed at the Department of Orthopedics under the leadership of Associate Professor Dr. Zoltán Bejek. In the context of the operation, the clinics of the university that perform robotic surgery also organized an open day in the auditorium of the Department of Surgery, Transplantation and Gastroenterology (STéG), where they presented the three areas of surgery, urology and gynaecology in which robotics has been successfully applied.
In a workshop, participants had the opportunity to try out 3D knee and hip designs at different workstations and test the CORI Surgical System used in orthopaedic surgery.
