Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present issue aims to give an overview of new challenges in diagnosing and managing various clinical entities that have an impact on the lungs and to emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. This ranges from analyzing the effect of drugs on the respiratory tract (interstitial lung involvement secondary to oncologic therapy, immunosuppressive therapy, or cardiac therapy) to evaluating lung involvement in inflammatory bowel disease, neurological disease (brain–lung interaction), heart disease (the eternal dilemma: is it a cardiology or respiratory patient?), eye disease, infectious disease, endocrinological or skin disease. This issue intends to cover lung conditions in particular situations such as pregnancy (drugs in pregnancy and their impact on pulmonary involvement, sleep apnea in pregnant women), surgical patients (before and after the surgery), and patients with mental illnesses (underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed mental illnesses in chronic respiratory diseases and risk factors for respiratory disorders in chronic psychiatric patients).
We look forward to your collaboration.
Best regards,
Dr. Milena Adina Man
Dr. Nicoleta Stefania Motoc
Prof. Dr. Florin Mihaltan
