Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to take part in the upcoming Special Issue entitled “Advances in Research of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” in Healthcare (ISSN 2227-9032).
Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are common respiratory illnesses affecting millions of patients worldwide. In the last decade, many randomized clinical trials have produced enough evidence for the use of novel treatments that are changing patients’ lives. However, there is still a lot to be done to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of both obstructive lung diseases. Investigational drugs are in the pipeline and emerging treatments are expected to help patients alleviate their symptoms.
This issue is open to original research papers, case series, and reviews. The objective of this Special Issue is to illustrate currently available treatments and analyze evolving treatments and other therapeutic modalities for asthma and COPD. We also take an interest in manuscripts that describe advances in diagnostic and monitoring tools. Main topics include, but are not limited to: (1) inhaled treatments; (2) biologics in asthma and COPD; (3) rehabilitation in COPD; (4) monitoring and home care with home spirometry; (5) inflammatory pathways in asthma and COPD.
Along with the journal staff, I will personally be available to assist you in preparing your manuscript for this Special Issue. Worldwide participation and knowledge sharing are highly encouraged. You are more than welcome to contact me directly for any questions. Thank you in advance.
Dr. Dimosthenis Lykouras
Guest Editor
