Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while providing positive experience through gamification social support.
Objectives Anxiety and depression are relevant comorbidities in asthma, but, Portugal Spain, data on this topic scarce. We assessed, patients with the frequency of anxiety using Hospital Depression Scale (HADS) European Quality Life Five Dimension Questionnaire (EQ-5D); level agreement between these questionnaires, factors associated symptoms. Methods This is a secondary analysis INSPIRERS studies. A total 614 adolescents adults persistent asthma (32.6±16.9 years, 64.7% female) were...
We aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence identify predictors patient-physician discordance. Baseline data from two prospective multicentre observational studies. 29 allergy, pulmonology paediatric secondary care outpatient clinics in Portugal. 395 patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma. Data on demographics, relationship, upper airway control, asthma treatment, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) healthcare use were collected....
Background Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates been reported across studies, regions, health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics users nonusers is critical design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, ensure these equitably reach out different groups patients, thus improving rather than entrenching inequities. Objective This study...
Carbon monoxide poisoning may occur in several contexts.Retrospective of 37 carbon cases that underwent hyperbaric oxygen during wildfires Funchal August 2016.The studied sample included patients, mean age 38 years, 78% males. Ten were firefighters, four children and two pregnant victims. Neurological symptoms the most reported. Median carboxyhemoglobin level was 3.7% (IQR 2.7). All received high-flow from admission to delivery oxygen. Persistence main indication for time 4.8 hours 9.5), at...

Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, a setting, any additional measurement must be evaluated context both patient physician perspectives so that it can also help improve process shared decision making. Thus, we aimed different control inhalers practice, namely through app, self-report assessment.
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied demographic, environmental, clinical variables, collected at a baseline medical visit. Longitudinal differences variables assessed 4-month follow-up telephone contact 128)....
Background: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while turning it into positive experience through gamification social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility real-world patients with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication). In addition, we attempted identify characteristics related higher use. Methods: Two multicenter observational studies, one initial face-to-face...
other antibiotics.To our knowledge, this is the first case of KS with confirmed selective IgE-mediated allergy to cefazolin.
Usefulness of Pidotimod and its role as immunostimulant, has been discussed, we know, for several decades. Nevertheless, there is still much to know. Understanding mechanisms potential usefulness in airway infections prevention, asthma both Th2 non type, bronchiectasis, adjuvant vaccination allergen immunotherapy remains clearly unveil. The aim this paper was provide a useful updated review the main available immunostimulants, giving particular focus on use potentials utility respiratory...
Adverse reactions to drugs, Fixed Erythema (FE), correspond 16-21% of all skin eruptions. This disease results in the development one or more erythematous annular oval, plaques as a result systemic exposure drug. On reexposure relapse occurs same place, although new lesions may arise simultaneously other areas. Any drug can cause FE. The physiopathology involves an allergic reaction (vasculitis). After theoretical revision and consultation clinical file, authors present case fixed eruption...
Lung auscultation using smartphones9 built-in microphone is a promising technology to monitor respiratory conditions outside medical facilities. We aimed compare lung sounds acquired by smartphones with the ones digital stethoscope according their quality and ability capture adventitious sounds. A cross-sectional study was conducted 17 adults self-reported asthma (13 females, 35±12y). performed clinicians in 7 different locations (trachea; right left anterior, upper posterior lower chest),...
On the last day of this year's Congress European Academy Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) in Valencia, EAACI family unfortunately received unspeakably sad news that our dear colleague, long-time companion, loyal friend Peter Valentin Tomazic from Graz passed away on Monday, June 3, 2024 (Figure 1). We are deeply saddened by loss a brilliant allergist outstanding rhinosurgeon. Much more than his professional qualities, however, was characterized human character strengths. It always...
Abstract Vector-borne diseases pose a significant global threat, with approximately 500 million reported cases annually, affecting previously unaffected regions due to climate change and increased international travel. This presentation brings insights from two scoping reviews examining the implementation operationalization of International Health Regulations (IHR) in preventing spread vector-borne diseases. The first review analysed strategies policies adopted at continental national levels...
