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.

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.

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.

RISCHIO CLINICO GLOBALE: CAUSE E STRATEGIE DI INTERVENTO
2023-04-15 10:00 - 13:00 (Europe/Rome) | Rome, Rome, Italy
For over a decade we have been living in a state of global crisis that affects all citizens, all social spheres, the entire psychophysical sphere of each one and the entire planet. Essentially, the root cause is to be identified in a widespread attitude of indifference towards the Balance of the Ecosystem and the Safety of Man and the Planet, underestimating the importance that, instead, these factors assume on maintaining the state of Health of the individual and the community.
In the “Glossary of the Ministry of Health” a significant definition of “Patient Safety” can be identified: “Dimension of the quality of health care, which guarantees, through the identification, analysis and management of risks and possible incidents for patients, the design and implementation of operational systems and processes that minimize the likelihood of error, potential risks and possible consequent damage to patients”.
Furthermore, WHO – World Health Organization – in the Shanghai Declaration, 2016, stated: “Health develops in the contexts of daily life, in neighborhoods and communities where people live, work, love, shop and have fun. Health is one of the most effective and powerful indicators of sustainable development and success of every city (and community), and contributes to making cities (and communities) inclusive, safe, and resilient for the entire populationaliero-Universitaria “Policlinico-V. Emanuele” di Catania.
Health is therefore our most precious asset and it is up to all of us to protect it as best we can, becoming aware of the negative impact that choices, habits and incorrect lifestyles have on it. In particular, the best possible health security is achieved through the accurate analysis of the health status of the individual and the community, with the aim of prevention and early treatment, removal or at least reduction of health risks through the transmission of appropriate recommendations and treatments that meet criteria of clinical evidence and, at the same time, of environmental and social sustainability. The identification of risk factors and the targeted intervention for their elimination should be the first objective in a socio-health context of best practice for the protection of the health of all citizens. It is therefore appropriate to pay adequate attention to both clinical-diagnostic aspects and those related to scientific research, sociological studies, environmental sciences, sustainable management of natural resources and appropriate use of structural and technological resources.
The Sanit Conference is therefore aimed at acquiring interdisciplinary skills on global health risk factors in the medical-scientific, sociological, economic and global sustainability fields, with the development of targeted health and social intervention strategies for the removal of these factors.

GFN Warsaw 2023
2023-06-21 - 2023-06-24 | Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland
Are you as excited for #GFN23 as we are? As preparations for this year’s conference in Warsaw (21 – 24 June) intensify, we have a couple of important announcements to make. We know that you’ve been hotly anticipating who will be speaking at #GFN23 – well, without further ado, we are very happy to announce our keynote speakers and the Michael Russell Orator for this year’s conference!
To start things off, we are pleased to welcome Sarah Cooney as our first keynote speaker of #GFN23, who will be delving into “The politics of scientific publishing”. Sarah Cooney is a science engagement specialist focusing on harm reduction and science communication, now running her own consultancy based in the UK. In her earlier career, Sarah held various editorial and publishing roles at leading peer-reviewed journals including Nature, Elsevier and BioMedCentral. She then spent nearly 12 years at British American Tobacco, establishing the company’s science engagement and communication capability to share the science behind less-risky nicotine products. With a BSc in genetics and an MSc in plant genetics, Sarah’s own research has been published in the internationally-renowned journal, Science.
Our second keynote speaker, Paul Newhouse, M.D., will address “The role of nicotinic systems in brain disorders”. Dr Newhouse holds the Jim Turner Chair in Cognitive Disorders at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, US, where he is Professor of Psychiatry, Pharmacology, and Medicine. His research has focused on brain cholinergic mechanisms in cognitive ageing and the role of nicotinic cholinergic receptor systems in normal and impaired cognitive functioning in humans. Dr Newhouse’s work established the importance of brain nicotinic cholinergic receptor systems in normal cognitive processes and established these receptors as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions.
And finally, Dr Roberto Sussman will be giving this year’s Michael Russell Oration! Dr Sussman is a full-time senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute for Nuclear Sciences of the National University of Mexico. His main research areas are General Relativity and Cosmology, but he has conducted research in other areas of Physics, including peer reviewed publications on e-cigarette aerosols. Dr Sussman is also Founder and Director of Pro-Vapeo Mexico, an association representing Mexican consumers of noncombustible nicotine products, and is actively advocating for an appropriate regulation of these products in Mexico. He directs and supervises the effort to spread scientific information about safer nicotine products and advises consumers on countering the misinformation and prejudice about them that is common throughout Latin America. Dr Sussman’s oration, entitled “A rigorous critical evaluation of tobacco and nicotine science”, looks to explore this theme in much-anticipated detail.

Between risk, prevention, diagnosis, and therapies for dyslipidemias
2023-09-19 | Bari, Bari, Italy
High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease, as evidenced by multiple epidemiological and intervention studies that have shown a near-linear relationship between this dyslipidemia, morbidity, and cardiovascular mortality.
After the forced break due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, it is appropriate to return to discussing “non-communicable chronic diseases” whose health risks have continued to accumulate in the last 3 years.
The conference aims to bring attention to the diagnosis and management of hypercholesterolemia in light of the latest guidelines produced by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS).
Innovative topics such as environmental risk factors, including smoking and their role in the progression of atherosclerosis, will be addressed. Diagnostic ultrasound for patients with hypercholesterolemia (with a particular focus on carotid Doppler) and innovative pharmacological approaches that include PCSK9 inhibitors and bempedoic acid, drugs that have made new intervention possibilities possible in patients at high and very high cardiovascular risk, will be discussed. Hypercholesterolemia familial, a hereditary disease in which a genetic alteration causes extremely high levels of LDL cholesterol that correlate with the high risk of cardiac events in carriers, will also be discussed.
The final session proposes non-pharmacological suggestions for the management of cardiovascular risk, including lifestyle, physical activity, nutraceuticals, and nutrition, and in particular, the Mediterranean diet as a lifestyle that originates in our territory that should be adopted and exported, physical activity that brings us back in contact with the environment and also has an ecological meaning, and the potential role of nutraceuticals.
