Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endocrine and metabolic diseases are a global health concern, primarily due to the escalating prevalence of childhood obesity, which often leads to long-term health outcomes. In the dynamic landscape of medical research, understanding the intricate relationship between endocrine/metabolic disorders, the immune system, and inflammation is crucial. Apart from conventional biomarkers, hematologic indices are gaining attention in numerous chronic diseases as a means to quantify inflammation. The systemic immune-inflammation index incorporates key hematological parameters, providing a holistic understanding of the body's immune and inflammatory status. This Special Issue provides a unique platform for authors to explore the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index and pediatric endocrine and metabolic diseases.
We invite researchers, healthcare professionals, and experts in the field to submit their original research, reviews, case studies, and perspectives for consideration. Authors are encouraged to explore topics such as immune modulation, immunometabolism, and therapeutic interventions related to endocrine and metabolic disorders. Your work may have a profound impact on the development of strategies to improve the early recognition and thus proper management of these diseases.
Join us in this vital dialogue by submitting your articles, and be part of the solution addressing the challenges posed by disorders such as childhood diabetes, obesity, and thyroid dysfunction. Together, we can pave the way towards a healthier future for younger generations.
Prof. Dr. Otilia Marginean
Guest Editor
