Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) is supporting the publication of a Special Issue on the “Effects of Local Anesthetics”, for which I will serve as Guest Editor.
Local anesthetics have been used in clinical anesthesia for more than 100 years and are still among the most important drugs of our specialty. Besides their well-known—and extensively studied—“old” effects on the voltage-gated sodium channels, the drugs might exert several additional effects, from which our patients might benefit tremendously. These “new” effects might include various anti-inflammatory effects, e.g., on the endothelium or in the pathogenesis of pain, but also antimetastatic effects on malignant cells.
The Special Issue aims to promote research on this topic. By providing the opportunity to publish a serious number of articles on this important issue in modern anesthesiology, we hope we will be able to enhance the readers’ ability to appreciate the research and intensify their potential gain of knowledge.
I would therefore kindly invite you to submit your original research work or review articles—either referring to the “old” or the “new” effects of the drugs—to the JCM in order to get published in our Special Issue after a thorough peer-review by experts in the field.
I am very much looking forward to working with you on this Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Tobias Piegeler
Guest Editor
