Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric chronic respiratory diseases are quite common in clinical practice. Asthma is currently the most common chronic condition in childhood; however, other chronic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and lung diseases in premature infants, should be known by pediatricians in order not to miss an early diagnosis and a timely and adequate therapeutic approach including pulmonary rehabilitation. Regarding pediatric asthma, biologicals are changing the narrative of the management of the disease with a more and more personalized treatment. Moreover, a growing body of evidence suggests that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may have its early origins in childhood, so that research is also currently focusing on such aspects. In the meanwhile, pediatricians are starting to face new challenges in the management of pediatric chronic respiratory conditions, such as climate change and the spreading use of e-cigarettes among youth. Last but not least, the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has raised unexpected issues in respiratory care in childhood.
For an upcoming Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (PubMed indexed, IF 2.849), we invite investigators to contribute review articles focused on these issues. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:
- personalized treatment in pediatric asthma;
- effects of e-cigarette smoke exposure;
- the impacts of climate change on childhood respiratory disease;
- early origins of COPD;
- pulmonary rehabilitation in children;
- the management of chronic cough;
- lung diseases in premature infants;
- rare respiratory diseases in childhood; and
- impacts of COVID-19 on respiratory care in childhood.
