Addressing Exposome: An Innovative Approach to Environmental Determinants in Pediatric Respiratory Health

Developmental age is particularly vulnerable to impacts of environmental exposures. Until recent years, the field of environment and child health has predominantly relied on the study of single exposure–health effect relationships. The exposome is an emerging concept in epidemiology, encompassing the totality of the exposures experienced by an individual throughout life and their changes over time. This innovative approach provides a risk profile instead of individual predictors. Exposome research may contribute to better understand the complex relationships between environmental exposures and childhood respiratory health, in order to implement prevention strategies and mitigate adverse hea…

Le tecnologie innovative nell’assistenza respiratoria

In chronic diseases, a correct diagnosis and access to the most appropriate treatments are not sufficient to ensure an improved clinical condition. The patient’s compliance with a treatment regimen is a crucial, though often neglected step for achieving and maintaining over time outcomes that would otherwise be unattainable, first of all the disease control. Asthma is a multifactorial condition and, for this reason, its poor management might cause an altered quality of life and a significant increase in healthcare costs. New technologies offer valuable support to both patients and healthcare workers, allowing for therapeutic monitoring and ongoing assistance.
