Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “New Advances in Prenatal Diagnosis and Newborn Medicine, 2nd Edition”. This is a new edition; we published 6 papers in the first edition. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/51G255373K.
An increasing amount of evidence points to the pivotal role of proangiogenic, angiogenic, immunological and inflammatory factors in fetoplacental growth and development. These factors are produced by different cell types of the placenta (extravillous and intravillous trophoblasts, amniotic and chorionic cells, natural killer cells, T lymphocytes, macrophages, etc.) and accumulate in different fetomaternal body fluid compartments. The levels of these factors are different in various pathological conditions of the pregnancy and are capable of predicting pregnancy outcomes, pathological conditions of the pregnancy, and may interrelate with intrauterine sonographic and birth parameters.
Growing knowledge about the overproduction or underproduction of these factors helps us to understand the etiology and pathomechanisms of disorders, including preeclampsia, pregestational and gestational diabetes, and growth alterations of fetuses, which will contribute to the improvement of perinatal outcomes and reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of new molecular pathways and serological and sonographic markers for the etiopathogenesis of pathological conditions in pregnancies. We encourage laboratory and clinical researchers to submit their works that contribute to the improvement of pregnancy outcomes in pathological conditions of pregnancy. Thus, all original research articles or reviews on topics related to pregnancy complications are welcome in this Special Issue.
Topics will comprise the following:
- Complications of pregnancy: fetal growth restriction, large for gestational age, pregestational and gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and hypertension in pregnant women, molecular markers, etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology, causes, and complications.
- Neonatal condition, i.e., small for gestational age or large for gestational age.
- Placenta and amniotic fluid in pathological conditions of pregnancy: what is pathognomonic in different conditions?
- Fetal and neonatal complications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
