Special Issue on Lung Health and Diseases

The lungs are part of a complex apparatus, which take in oxygen from the air, deliver it to the bloodstream and expel carbon dioxide. The lung diseases refer to the disorders that affect the lungs, which include asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Lung Health and Diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Acute respiratory distress syndrome
• Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
• Emphysema
• Pneumococcal vaccination
• Pneumonia
• Pneumothorax
• Pulmonary edema
• Pulmonary embolism
• Pulmonary fibrosis
• Respiratory failure
• Spirometry

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Lung Health and Diseases” should be selected during your submission.
