“…Education level is another important factor; patients' perception and practice of using INCSs were found to be significantly correlated with education. These findings are consistent with those reported in a study on a Turkish population, which stated that patients with higher education levels had a more positive attitude [27].…”

Background Intranasal corticosteroids (INCSs) are the first-line treatment for patients with moderate to severe conditions of allergic rhinitis (AR) as per current guidelines. However, patients' knowledge and practice towards the safety of such medications remains ambiguous. Therefore, this study was undertaken to identify the awareness of and knowledge about the safety of nasal corticosteroid usage in patients with allergic rhinitis as well as their adherence to taking the medication.

“…It consists of seven questions with closed answers of a dichotomous yes/no character and the last question answered based on the options “never”, “almost never”, “sometimes”, “often” and “always”. Low adherence is considered to be those who answer affirmatively to more items from the test ( 24 ) .…”

Objective: to verify the association between the health-related quality of life of chronic renal patients on hemodialysis with sociodemographic, clinical, depression and medication adherence characteristics. Method: a cross-sectional study with 183 chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short-Form, Beck Depression Inventory and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale - eight items were used. Among the variables, comorbidities, complications of kidney disease and intercurrences during and after hemodialysis were evaluated. The analysis was performed with descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: 55.2% of the patients were 60 years old or older, 35.0% were hypertensive, with regular quality of life, average of 62.61. Scores below average in the dimensions of quality of life were mainly associated with repetitive infections and edema as complications of the disease, pain during hemodialysis and weakness afterwards. Low drug adherence resulted in a worse quality of life, impacting ten of the 20 dimensions evaluated and depression in all, except for patient satisfaction. Conclusion: reduced quality of life in this population is associated with depressive symptoms, complications such as repetitive infections, pain and anemia, weakness after the dialysis session and low medication adherence. Actions aimed at changing these factors can promote well-being.

“…Patients with food allergies frequently do not have their epinephrine autoinjector available at all times and, even if it is available, fail to use it for treatment of anaphylaxis [28]. Nasal corticosteroid sprays are the most effective therapy for treatment of chronic rhinitis, yet many patients fail to use them consistently, thus minimizing the benefit [29].…”

The emergence of new technology enables allergists and patients to compile data and receive feedback regarding key symptoms, risk behavior, and/or management. The term "eHealth" refers to a diverse group of tools that use computerized technologies to improve both the efficacy and the efficiency of the health care industry. eHealth comprises a variety of technologies, as follows: mobile devices (mHealth) in medical care, including electronic diaries, wearable sensors, and adherence monitoring; health informatics (eg, electronic health records, computerized physician order entry, clinical decision support); telemedicine, which is the use of information and communication technologies for the management of diseases and medical education; social media platforms, and the analysis of information acquired through these platforms using "big data" technologies. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the use of eHealth technology and the relevance of eHealth to allergic conditions. ResumenLa aparición de nuevas tecnologías conlleva para los alergólogos y los pacientes la posibilidad de recopilar datos y recibir información directa sobre los síntomas clave de las enfermedades, los comportamientos de riesgo y/o su manejo. El término "eHealth", o salud electrónica, se refiere a un grupo diverso de herramientas que utilizan tecnologías informáticas para mejorar la eficacia y la eficiencia de la industria de la salud. La "eHealth" comprende varias tecnologías, como el uso de dispositivos móviles aplicados a la salud ("mHealth"), incluyendo diarios electrónicos, sensores ponibles o monitorización de la adherencia terapéutica; la informática biomédica (por ejemplo, la historia clínica electrónica, la prescripción electrónica o los sistemas de ayuda a las decisiones clínicas); la telemedicina, que es el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación para el manejo de enfermedades y de educación sanitaria; las plataformas de redes sociales, y el análisis de la información adquirida a través de estas plataformas, usando técnicas de "big data" o inteligencia de datos. En esta revisión, resumimos la evidencia que rodea al uso de tecnologías "eHealth" y su relevancia para las enfermedades alérgicas.
