2nd Edition: Pregnancy and Perinatal Health

Dear Colleagues, 

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of Healthcare, “Pregnancy and Perinatal Health”. This is, of course, a broad subject which covers all the pathologies of pregnancy that have an impact on the fetus, as well as all the diseases of fetuses and newborns. Some examples of pathologies of pregnancy and perinatal health include: 

1. Perinatal Hematology:
   • Point on rhesus anemia;
   • Point on neonatal thrombocytopenia;
   • Point on leukemia and oncology in pregnant women;
   • Point on leukemia and oncology in neonate;
   • Point on neonatal hemophilia.
2. Donation in Perinatology:
   • Donation—a philosopher's perspective;
   • Donation of human milk;
   • Cord blood donation and use;
   • Oocyte, embryo, and sperm donation;
   • Loan of uterus.
3. Diseases in pregnancy that affect the newborn:
   • Diabetes in pregnant women and newborns;
   • Maternal myopathies and newborns;
   • Myasthenia gravis in newborns;
   • Maternal metabolic diseases in newborns;
   • COVID-19 in pregnant mothers and neonatal care;
   • Congenital malformations (with antenatal diagnostic).
