CoEHAR

Diasmoke and Smile Study are two of the international #research projects of the CoEHAR focused on evaluating the impact of #ecigarettes and low risk products on human #health.

Fisciano, thanks for having me. "XXIV Congresso Nazionale della Sezione di Psicologia Clinica e Dinamica", University of Salerno - Fisciano Campus, September 12-15, 2024 I presented a proposal for a study about "Integrating Smartwatch Technology for Dual Diagnosis Patients in Clinical Institutional Settings". Implementing the latest clinically-designed smartwatches for monitoring and enhancing dual diagnosis patients' treatments is a novel idea, and could represent a further advancement in dual diagnosis knowledge, as well as providing new insights for harm reduction.

Al via oggi nell’aula magna della Torre Biologica il 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐈𝐁 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 - “Tumor Biochemistry” sulle nuove scoperte e implicazioni delle dinamiche biochimiche nel microambiente tumorale. L’evento dal titolo ”𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬” vede la partecipazione di biologi e biochimici provenienti da molti paesi diversi. A condurre i lavori della giornata, il prof. Giovanni Li Volti, direttore del CoEHAR e ordinario di Biochimica dell’Università di Catania. Con lui anche la prof.ssa Paola Chiarugi, ordinario di biochimica dell’Università di Firenze e presidente della Società Italiana di Biochimica e la prof.ssa Domenica Scumaci, docente di Biochimica presso l’Università Magna Greacia, coordinatrice del gruppo biochimica dei tumori. Ad intervenire, molti dei membri del CoEHAR, esperti in ricerca biochimica e biomolecolare.

Prof. Massimo Caruso and Dr. Konstantinos Partsinevelos presented an interesting work on the comparison of the #toxicity of classic cigarettes and e-cigarettes entitled “Toxicity induced by cigarette smoke and electronic #cigarette aerosols” during the annual congress EuroTox 2024 in #Copenaghen, one of the most important events in the world in the field of toxicology, which saw the participation of more than 1500 scholars from all over the world (in addition to Europe, also from the United States, South Korea, Japan, South America, etc.). The presentation aimed at raising awareness in the vast world of #toxicology on the importance of the conditions of in vitro exposure of human cells to cigarette #smoke and e-cigarette aerosol in conducting scientific studies that may have relevance in the regulatory field. The work is part of Replica, one of the flagship projects of the Italian center, which involves the collaboration of various international research hubs. In addition to the researchers from the University of Catania, Dr. Nikolina Kastratovic, CoEHAR partner from the Kragujevac University (Serbia), presented an interesting work on the toxicity of the Tobacco heating products, entitled “ Effects of tobacco heating products on viability, proliferation and #cytokine production of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from periodontal ligament”, demonstrating that the work of #CoEHAR is involving more and more researchers in the field of #THR. #research #eurotox2024 #stopsmoking EUROTOX Congress Massimo Caruso

📑Historic Agreement Between #CoEHAR of the University of Catania and the Padjadjaran University: the CoEHAR founder, Prof. Riccardo Polosa, and the director, Prof. Giovanni Li Volti signed a formal commitment to collaborate in the creation and launch of a new CoEHAR branch in #indonesia, which will serve as a regional center for research, outreach, and education on smoking harm reduction in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asian activities will be led by Dr. Ronny Lesmana, dr., M.Kes., AIFO, PhD, Associate Professor at Universitas Padjadjaran, and Prof. Dr. Amaliya, DDS, MSc Full Professor in Periodontology at the same university. They have already been key partners in the Replica project and the Smile project. #science #research #harmreduction #asia Universitas Padjadjaran Ronny Lesmana Riccardo Polosa 👉The agreement in the article https://lnkd.in/dwWGMmG2

🔬New #coehar research achievement: The paper “The Effect of Smoking on Humoral Response to COVID-19 Vaccines: A Systematic Review of Epidemiological Studies” (Pietro Ferrara, Vincenza Gianfredi, Venera Tomaselli, and Riccardo Polosa) published in *Vaccines* in 2022, has been recognized as one of the Highly Cited Papers for 2022-2023! 🎓 Read the full study : https://lnkd.in/dBjDx7xf) #COVID19 #Research #Vaccines #publichealth #smoking #Science

Great milestone for the #Replicaproject research team: the paper "Comparative assessment of electronic nicotine delivery systems aerosol and cigarette smoke on endothelial cell migration: The Replica Project" published in Drug Testing and Analysis is now among the top 10% of downloaded papers! 🚀 This achievement underscores the importance and impact of the study within the scientific community. Congratulations for this remarkable success! #science #research #scientificommunity #THR Massimo Caruso Giovanni Li Volti

La dott.ssa Giusy La Rosa, ricercatrice CoEHAR, intervistata in merito ai risultati del recente lavoro condotto dal team del progetto SMILE study, rivela che l'uso esclusivo di prodotti privi di combustione, come le sigarette elettroniche e i prodotti a tabacco riscaldato, è associato a un accumulo di placca inferiore rispetto ai fumatori di sigarette tradizionali. https://lnkd.in/dKhdaUND

The research team of the #SMILESTUDY has achieved another significant milestone: from the first study conducted to evaluate the impact of using electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products on oral #health, it emerges that these products reduce the accumulation of dental plaque compared to traditional cigarettes, contributing to the development of new scientifically valid paradigms in the global anti-smoking narrative. #dentalplaque #HTP #ENDS #ecig #stopsmoking #THR Antonio Pacino Rosalia (aka Lia) Emma Eugenio Pedullà https://lnkd.in/dKKZ47hM
