Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulmonary diseases remain a major global health burden, affecting individuals across the lifespan—from the neonatal period to advanced adulthood. Increasing evidence highlights the complexity of pulmonary conditions due to the frequent presence of comorbidities, which can significantly alter disease presentation, progression, and therapeutic response. Understanding these interactions requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from clinical medicine, epidemiology, diagnostics, and public health.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews that explore the clinical and epidemiological dimensions of pulmonary diseases in the context of coexisting conditions. Submissions are welcome from both pediatric and adult populations and may focus on acute and chronic respiratory illnesses, including but not limited to bronchopulmonary dysplasia, asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary infections, and pulmonary hypertension.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Prof. Dr. Roxana Maria Nemes
Guest Editor
