Chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pul monary disease (COPD) andasthma, are among the most prevalent diseases worldwide today.
According to the World Health Organization, COPD is set to become a major cause of reduced quality of life. It is a condition that progressively limits respiratory capacity, making even the simplest daily activities difficult.
The importance of prevention
At Fanfani's we contribute to scientific research, supporting its importance: in the field of dermatopathology and oral pathology, Dr. Carmelo Urso, our specialist in pathological anatomy and dermatopathology, recently published two scientific papers in two international journals.
His studies have shown that:
- Special attention should be paid to those exposed to environmental and occupational risk factors
- Clinical and functional assessment of patients is essential to detect any alterations early and initiate appropriate monitoring pathways
- A long-term, multidisciplinary approach to improve the management of chronic respiratory disease and reduce its complications is essential.
