WINTER SCHOOL 2023: AMBIENTE, NUTRIZIONE, SALUTE – SESSIONE PARALLELA
2023-02-16 - 2023-02-17 | Zoom
ENVIRONMENT, NUTRITION, HEALTH
When one thinks of these 3 areas, worlds or how one wants to define them, in citizens but also in institutional referents this immediately translates into simple but alas partial images: melting ice or disappearing glaciers.
Common thought that it is necessary to change, implementing, increasing skills and knowledge. For this, Motore Sanità intends to face the time to make people understand the close connection and interdependence between these 3 that cannot be considered and thought of as separate worlds.
Environment, nutrition, health are a single large system that means psycho-physical, economic and social well-being. Covid has taught a lot, but not enough.
An unhealthy environment, unhealthy nutrition generate a huge impact on health, a huge fallout in medical expenses, a cost for years of life in bad health, a huge pressure on medical assistance.
Thus resources are taken away from those who really need to be treated, from those who must have access to innovative treatments, monitoring technologies, extensive screening, modern diagnostic tools, tools for disease follow-up.
More healthy environment, more healthy nutrition, more health translates into: more resources for the best treatments and more resources for sick citizens, more room for innovation.
The concept of Global Health implies a connection between different worlds and renewed paths. Prevention plays a fundamental role for the sustainability of the welfare system starting from vaccines and therapies that cure situations predisposing to the development of tumours. The concept of risk reduction is spreading thanks to the dissemination of good practices and scientific demonstrations starting from addictions.
At the same time, innovative targeted therapies impact on the effectiveness of treatments, changing the organizational future of care pathways for many pathologies. First of all, all this entails a greater domiciliarization of these highly effective innovative therapies. It goes without saying that the Regional Health Services must adapt to the needs and requests of citizens who are increasingly informed and increasingly aware of their rights and duties.
To discuss the often overwhelming news that emerges from the medical and technological progress of research and to homogenize the sliding doors that attempt to connect the various dimensions of the National Health Service in a system with a global approach, Motore Sanità wants to bring together the key players in the Pollenzo Winter School system to generate ideas and find shared practical solutions.

UK E-Cigarette Research Forum
2023-01-26
Evidence so far indicates e-cigarettes are far less harmful than tobacco and can help people who smoke to cut down or stop smoking. However, more evidence is needed to help inform smokers and policy-makers looking to reduce the harm from tobacco.
The UK E-Cigarette Research Forum (UKECRF) is an initiative led by Cancer Research UK in collaboration with leading experts in the field of e-cigarettes and tobacco control. The Forum brings together policy-makers, researchers, practitioners and the NGO community to discuss the emerging evidence and knowledge gaps about e-cigarettes. The group also seeks to identify research priorities, generate ideas for new research projects and enhance collaboration between forum participants.

Tobacco & E-cigs Awareness
2023-01-18 - 2023-01-25
The aim of this course is to provide practitioners working with young people the knowledge and tools to critically discuss and explore the topic of tobacco and electronic cigarette use.
LANDED come from a ‘harm-reduction’ approach to drug use, we don’t condemn or condone anyone’s drug use. We recognise young people are going to engage in risky behaviours and we aim to provide them with non-biased information in an effort to promote positive lifestyle choices.

E-Cigarette Summit UK, 2022
2022-12-09 08:55 - 18:30 (Europe/London) | London, London, United Kingdom
The E-Cigarette Summit UK, 2022 will take place at the Royal College of Physicians on 9th December in London. Below is the agenda and programme of speakers and panel debates.
The 10th Annual Summit takes place at a critical period, as the perennial debate between balancing the opportunity for adults and protecting kids is re-ignited by the rising phenomenon of disposable e-cigarettes. The Summit will look to ask the pressing questions and review what we have learnt over the last decade, the questions we have answered, the questions that remain and the questions we weren’t expecting. Speakers will be attending in-person but there is a virtual attendance option for delegates that cannot travel.

International scientific conference on e-cigarette
2022-12-05 - 2022-12-06 | Paris, Paris, France
The objective of this e-cigarette conference is to create a place for international researchers and professionals working in the field of e-cigarette, and more generally anyone interested in and working on tobacco, to meet. It is intended to review ongoing research and identify any outstanding research questions by focusing on two central areas within this field: health effects and user trajectories.
This conference is based on a multidisciplinary approach: fundamental, humanities and social sciences, clinical, population health intervention research, etc.
Vaping devices, including e-cigarettes, are recent products that have now been commercially available for more than 10 years and have resulted in scientific questions and debates. The scientific community was quick to take an interest in e-cigarettes, particularly in their use as a smoking cessation tool. This interest is evident in the scientific literature with an increase in published international studies from 2016.
However, the initial scientific findings do not provide enough follow-up to assess whether – and to what extent – e-cigarettes might be beneficial or harmful for health. Further data are needed in this regard and around usage and user trajectories: do e-cigarettes aid smoking cessation, or do they encourage addiction relapses?
Since 2015, The French National Cancer Institute has been a major player in developing tobacco control research. Indeed, tobacco use is the leading preventable cancer-related death factor, making it a public health priority. INCa’s action in this field – particularly its research action – is reasserted in its ten-year anti-cancer strategy, with funding and support for research, scientific innovation, junior researchers; involvement in European initiatives,
and the provision of discussion opportunities with the scientific community to help disseminate knowledge. In this context, and to address the scientific and health challenges raised by e-cigarettes, INCa is organising – within the Addiction Fund – an international scientific meeting around e-cigarette research.

The objective of this e-cigarette conference is to create a place for international researchers and professionals working in the field of e-cigarette, and more generally anyone interested in and working on tobacco, to meet. It is intended to review ongoing research and identify any outstanding research questions by focusing on two central areas within this field: health effects and user trajectories.

Tobacco Online Policy Seminar (TOPS)
2022-12-02 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Rome)
The Tobacco Online Policy Seminar (TOPS) is a free multidisciplinary, international forum for research with tobacco policy implications using experimental or quasi-experimental study designs (i.e., with a well-defined counterfactual). TOPS strives to be a respectful, inclusive, and diverse forum, with participants and attendees united around the concept of presenting and learning from tobacco research using study designs capable of producing results with a causal interpretation, with the ultimate goal being the production and sharing of knowledge to develop an effective tobacco policy framework for improving population health. This forum is designed to bring together academics, students, government employees, policy researchers, healthcare professionals, advocates, and funders, with the goal of breaking silos in tobacco policy research and providing a platform for high-quality research to be discussed and disseminated.

Targeting the Addictiveness of Smoked Tobacco in New Zealand
Nicotine is the primary constituent in cigarettes responsible for maintaining smoking behavior. In December 2021, the New Zealand (NZ) Government launched the Smokefree Aotearoa 2025 Action Plan, outlining a strategy to reduce smoking prevalence to less than 5% by 2025. The plan is world-leading with transformative goals including: 1) eliminate health inequities in smoking rates and smoking-related illness; 2) ensure youth never start smoking tobacco; and 3) increase quitting in people who smoke. A major component of the initiative is to mandate a low nicotine product standard for smoked tobacco. Similarly, in the United States, the Biden administration recently announced its intention to pursue a low nicotine product standard for cigarettes and other combusted tobacco products, reviving a pillar of the Comprehensive Framework for Nicotine and Tobacco Regulation announced in 2017. This webinar will review the science underlying nicotine reduction and discuss ways to optimize the likelihood that mandating very low nicotine levels in smoked tobacco will achieve the intended public health outcomes.
