Armonia offers a complete allergy service through specialist allergy visits, allergy tests such as skin tests for contact allergens (Patch Test), Prick Test for inhalants and foods, and Breath Test for lactose intolerance, and is also specialized in the treatment of patients who suffer from gluten intolerance and gluten sensitivity.

Based on the outcome of the visit or diagnostic tests, the doctor will identify a therapeutic plan that is not limited to treating the allergic manifestation but has as its objective the complete cure of the allergy and related disorders.

Allergy test: which one to choose?

The allergological examination, practical to frame the origin of the allergic disorder, varies according to the patient's clinical manifestations. The Allergologist chooses the practical test based on the type of reaction that the patient has to the suspected substance as a cause, the presumed sensitization methods (from contact, from inhalation .), and the nature of the allergen.

Specifically, in the case of skin rashes, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and bronchial asthma, the prick test for inhalants and foods is recommended, or the patch test if the symptoms are developed through contact with the substance. The Breath test is carried out for lactose, one of the most commonly responsible for allergies and intolerances.

The type of test chosen aims to identify the causes that cause allergic manifestations and define the most suitable treatment path.

Thoracic surgery

Thoracic surgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and therapy of lung diseases, the mediastinum (central part of the chest that contains some essential structures such as the trachea), the pleura (the membrane that covers the lung and the internal surface of the thorax), diaphragm and chest wall.

Thoracic surgery in Harmony

The Armonia thoracic surgery service deals with diagnosing and treating benign diseases such as hyperhidrosis and oncological pathologies of the thoracic area such as lung tumors, mediastinal tumors, and pleural tumors.

Among the diseases most often treated by the Thoracic Surgeon is lung cancer, the most frequent malignant neoplasm in men and women, especially among smokers. The Thoracic Surgeon is involved in all phases of the diagnostic and curative process, following the patient from the first diagnosis to the completion of the surgical treatment. The Thoracic Surgeon also deals with mediastinal cancer. One of the most frequent is thymoma, a neoplasm that originates in the gland located in front of the heart. In 15% of cases, this causes a neurological syndrome called Myasthenia Gravis, which leads to progressive muscle fatigue, which can gradually affect the skeletal and ocular muscles and compromise breathing.

In the case of pleural neoplasia, on the other hand, the most frequent clinical picture is the finding of a pleural effusion, that is, of fluid inside the chest. The Thoracic Surgery Specialist performs the diagnosis through a thoracic ultrasound, directing the diagnostic and therapeutic process suitable for the patient. The presence within the center of a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to radiological investigations allows the patient to perform, with a preferential route, the radiological examinations necessary for the specialist to define the diagnosis and the type of intervention required.
