Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue titled "Advances in Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine", which will highlight the latest technologies and clinical practices in the field. This Special Issue will gather experts and researchers globally to discuss innovations, address current challenges, and outline future directions in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine.
With rapid technological advancements, obstetrics and prenatal diagnosis have evolved remarkably. From conventional invasive genetic testing including amniocentesis, we have transitioned to modern genetic testing, including non-invasive prenatal testing. Recent advances in ultrasound imaging have improved our understanding of early anatomical developmental and the possibility to detect a wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities before birth. Also, ultrasound plays a central role in fetal assessment and management of high-risk pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other maternal medical conditions. These innovations have greatly enhanced both the accuracy and safety of prenatal diagnoses allowing adequate case management and counseling.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in genetic testing, fetal ultrasound and management of high-risk pregnancies, covering their underlying principles, clinical application and personal experience in using the latest diagnostic and imagistic methods. By analyzing key case studies, we aim to assess the benefits and limitations of these technologies, offering valuable insights and practical recommendations for clinicians.
In summary, "Advances in Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine" will provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research and technological developments, offering academic and clinical insights to support the continued evolution of obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine.
We invite experts and scholars in this field to contribute and collaborate, furthering the advancement of prenatal technologies for the betterment of human health worldwide.
All types of manuscripts are welcome, including original articles and reviews (narrative and systematic with/without meta-analysis).
We look forward to your active participation.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Nicolae Suciu
Dr. Catalin G Herghelegiu
