Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the opening of the submission of articles for this new "Journal of Clinical Medicine" Special Issue on the theme "Immune-mediated Rheumatic Diseases". This topic was chosen because the heterogeneity of the multisystemic involvement and comorbidities; paraclinical particularities; and (last but not least) the increased potential for morbidity, mortality, and disability are challenges for any doctor involved in their treatment. The complexity of these conditions explains the frequent need for monitoring, therapeutic adjustment, and multidisciplinary team approaches. Fortunately, it can be said without exaggeration that recent years have brought amazing therapeutic advances that have significantly changed the management and prognosis of these patients.
We welcome the submission of original research and review articles on the following topics:
- Diagnostic tools;
- Clinical and immunological correlations;
- Therapeutic challenges;
- Risk stratification;
- Achieving goals in management and treatment;
- Old and new therapeutic targets;
- Comorbidities (diagnosis, correlations, and management).
Dr. Daniela Opriş-Belinski
