Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sinusitis and asthma are highly prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions that often coexist and significantly affect patients’ quality of life. Increasing evidence supports the concept of “united airways,” in which upper and lower airway diseases share common immunological pathways, environmental triggers, and comorbidities. Understanding the interactions between rhinosinusitis and asthma is critical for improving early prevention, refining diagnostic approaches, and developing more effective treatment strategies.
This Special Issue of Sinusitis, “United Airways: Advances in the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Sinusitis and Asthma”, aims to highlight recent progress in unraveling the sinusitis–asthma connection. We welcome original research, clinical studies, epidemiological investigations, and state-of-the-art reviews that explore the shared pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic innovations at the interface of these two conditions. Submissions addressing immune dysfunction, allergy, infection, pollution, or systemic diseases as contributing factors are particularly encouraged. Studies on new diagnostic technologies, biologics, surgical outcomes, and precision medicine approaches are also of great interest.
By bringing together contributions from basic scientists, clinicians, and public health researchers, this Special Issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the united airway concept and to inform future strategies for integrated care of patients with sinusitis and asthma.
Dr. Gianluca Fadda
