ALLERGENS IN THE PARK AND GARDEN FLORA OF SICILY
2017
The ornamental flora of parks and gardens, as we know, generally includes high proportions of exotics. In Italy it arose from Renaissance on and increasingly enriched up to include a large proportion of exotics native to countries under Mediterranean and temperate climates. Similarly the garden flora of Sicily has a large number of mostly Mediterranean and subtropical exotics. Even if very similar on the whole, these floras differ in some floristic, biological and ecological features. Indeed, several succulent families and genera that are rare or missing in Italy are frequent in Sicily, but plants from temperate regions are almost absent in the island. As regards the allergenic patterns ref…
Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy (MeDALL) : Introducing novel concepts in allergy phenotypes
2017
Asthma, rhinitis, and eczema are complex diseases with multiple genetic and environmental factors interlinked through IgE-associated and non–IgE-associated mechanisms. Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MeDALL; EU FP7-CP-IP; project no: 261357; 2010-2015) studied the complex links of allergic diseases at the clinical and mechanistic levels by linking epidemiologic, clinical, and mechanistic research, including in vivo and in vitro models. MeDALL integrated 14 European birth cohorts, including 44,010 participants and 160 cohort follow-ups between pregnancy and age 20 years. Thirteen thousand children were prospectively followed after puberty by using a newly standardized MeDALL Core Q…
Verde e allergie
2016
La qualità dell’ambiente urbano è sempre più oggetto di attenzione sia da parte degli amministratori che dei cittadini. Il verde, inteso come l’insieme delle diverse tipologie di impianti presenti nelle città, costituisce un fondamentale elemento per misurare la qualità dell’ambiente urbano. Le sue modificazioni storiche, la sua progettazione e manutenzione assumono rilievo importante soprattutto se si considera la presenza di specie allergeniche che possono condizionare la vita di un’importante fetta della popolazione presente. Tra le diverse soluzioni praticabili per ridurre l’esposizione dei pazienti allergici al polline iniziano a diffondersi anche le moderne tecnologie, come app dedica…
