Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on important topics for obstetricians, perinatologists, neonatologists, pediatricians, and geneticists.
Obstetrics is a very dynamic field of medicine, with a growing interest in fetal and placental development. Expanding knowledge in terms of ultrasound, genetic, biochemical, and clinical insights is mandatory to provide reliable data to support clinical practice. Researchers and practitioners in this field have been looking at advances in pregnancy care including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The early detection of fetal and placental abnormalities, their improper development, and placenta-originated, fetal, and maternal complications (FGR, preeclampsia) is crucial for appropriate management. On the other hand, maternal illnesses (diabetes, neoplasms) may cause alterations in placental and fetal development and could contribute to suboptimal fetal outcomes.
These fetal abnormalities and maternal complications account for the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
This Special Issue is open to submissions concerning the aforementioned medical specializations. I invite you to submit original research, systematic literature reviews, and meta-analyses.
Dr. Arkadiusz Robert Krzyżanowski
Guest Editor
