Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of this Special Issue achieved great success, and we are pleased to announce its second edition. The link to the first edition is as follows: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/61I37TOR5A.
Maternal–fetal medicine is a unique field. It differs from classical obstetrics primarily in the search for an answer to the question of how to provide care for a pregnant woman and her child so as to not only prevent maternal complications and ensure the child is born in good health, but to also guarantee that the child will develop properly, both physically and mentally, after several years.
New imaging modalities and laboratory methodologies have allowed us to diagnose maternal–fetal pathologies early, providing rapid treatment. Studies in this domain continually evolve, and emerging therapeutic options seem promising. Additionally, various fetal therapy techniques have been established at distinguished centers to treat, for example, open spina bifida or other congenital diseases.
This Special Issue, "New Challenges in Maternal-Fetal Medicine: 2nd Edition", sets out to investigate the abovementioned research areas and the scientific endeavors that are required to improve pregnancy outcomes. I invite you and your co-workers to submit original research articles that address severe issues in perinatal medicine.
Dr. Marzena Laskowska
Guest Editor
