Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune disease incidence has been increasing in recent years due to the improved diagnosis rates. New therapies aim to improve the lifespan and improve the daily life quality of autoimmune disease patients.
Metabolic syndrome is one of the most rapidly growing health problems in highly developed countries, with obesity and sedentarism being the leading causes. It involves all the systems in the human organism and ranges from cardiovascular disease, gastroenterology, and neurology all the way to psychology-related disorders.
Genetic approaches to metabolic disorders are entering the “metabolism subject” in a new era of treatment.
This Special Issue will highlight the continuous changes in the incidence along with new approaches in the treatment and management of autoimmune and metabolic diseases.
We are collecting studies on autoimmune disease associations, metabolic disorders, and complications of autoimmune diseases. Also, studies on metabolic diseases (inherited or developed) are encouraged (including studies on inflammatory syndrome). The rare disease topic should cover autoimmune or metabolic disorders (including genetic research). Submissions on the associations of medical specialties and common approaches are encouraged. Medical or surgical overviews (including inter-specialty) reviews and meta-analysis are welcome.
In addition, submissions on quality of life, along with patient care systems and patient registries, will be considered for publication in this Special Issue.
