With the enrollment of the first patient, the project has officially started, thanks to the collaboration of international renew partners: the Addendo Clinic (Catania), the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, the University of Bologna, and research centres in Warsaw (Poland), Chisinau (Moldova) and Bandung (Indonesia).
CoEHAR, the Center of Excellence for the acceleration of Harm Reduction of the University of Catania, has launched a two-year study, the Diasmoke project, to investigate whether vaping or using E-cigarettes reduces the risk of cardiovascular (heart and circulation) disease as compared to normal smoking.
According to Giovanni Li Volti, director of CoEHAR, the Center of Excellence for the Acceleration of Harm Reduction in Catania, "To date, the results that have emerged confirm that there are no longer any doubts: electronic cigarettes are more than 95% less harmful than conventional cigarettes”
The second edition of ISPM has just ended: the Summer School for Project Mangers promoted by CoEHAR and ECLAT has been a success, thanks to the exceptional partnership with PMI-SIC
Tobacco harm reduction theories and their fundamental principles are questioned worldwide. New indicators specifically designed to establish the harm reduction potential of low risk tobacco products are examined by CoEHAR, with promising results
CoEHAR and ECLAT- a spin-off of the University of Catania- is proud to announce the second edition of ISPM (International School on Project Management). Partner of this edition, the prestigious PMI-SIC, the Project Management Institute, South Italy section, a worldwide renewed association in this field.
The Lancet Oncology published in August an article which clarified the positions of CoEHAR leaders on some unfounded news spread in recent months. In June, Lancet has published an article…
For the first time, CoEHAR researchers used the saccharin test transit time to compare the data on the regeneration of respiratory cilia among current, former and never smokers, electronic cigarette users and heated tobacco products users. The results suggest that combustion-free nicotine delivery technologies are unlikely to have detrimental effects on mucociliary clearance
(Catania, 4th August 2021). Electronic cigarettes are products that create an aerosol, commonly called vapour, similar to the smoke produced by a conventional cigarette. The rise in popularity of such…
The aim of the study is to investigate different in vitro toxicity methods for the assessment of ENDs toxicity. According to the Italian researchers, the most used assay, the neutral red uptake, should be combined with different tools (enlisted in the study) to better identifies the toxicity of the products and can avoid approximate and incorrect evaluation
