Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Feature Paper in Sinusitis 2022”. Sinusitis is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal, which provides an advanced forum for studies on all aspects of rhinology. The journal will join other successful international journals in the field of rhinology, with the aim of promoting knowledge and important new findings. Though this is a young, new journal, we expect it to experience rapid and exponential growth, as other new journals have achieved in the MDPI platform.

In this Special Issue, we are inviting manuscripts from all sinusitis fields considered to be of interest to our international readers. In this case, well-designed studies and good datasets are required to promote the quality of, and interest in, our new journal. We welcome both original research articles and comprehensive review papers. Papers in this Special Issue will be published via our open access platform after a thorough peer review, a process which will benefit both our authors and readers.

You are welcome to send short proposals for feature paper submissions to the Editorial Office (sinusitis@mdpi.com) before submission.

Dr. Eleonora Nucera
Guest Editor

(1) Background: A number of studies have demonstrated the connection between developing or exacerbating chronic respiratory diseases in adults and children. However, still, few studies focus on reducing exacerbations via immunomodulation. (2) Methods: In this pilot study, a total of 25 pediatric and adult patients with bronchial asthma (BA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/persistent bacterial bronchitis (PBB) were included, administered over-the-counter (OTC) immunomodulators and followed up for 6 or 12 months. (3) Results: We observed a decrease in the frequency of exacerbations with slight improvements in functional respiratory indicators in adults on their second and third visits and a reduced number of exacerbations and improved spirometry indices in children with BA, although exacerbations requiring hospital admission remained at a similar rate. (4) Conclusions: We confirmed that the number of exacerbations of underlying chronic respiratory disease in adults and children could be reduced after the administration of OTC immunomodulators, probably by optimizing the immune resistance to common viral infections.
