Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prenatal diagnosis has been a staple in the field of maternal–fetal medicine for many years. New tools for ultrasound diagnosis, new screening strategies with which to identify serious diseases such as pre-eclampsia, risk of premature birth, and fetal anomalies, and the implementation of various preventive measures are among the latest achievements aimed at safeguarding maternal health and reducing fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in maternal–fetal medicine, including new approaches to fetal genetics and prenatal diagnosis and screening. Special attention will be paid to topics such as placental insufficiency, fetal malformation, fetal dysplasia, and genetic abnormalities.
Original research articles, systematic evaluations, analyses, and case-based comments are welcome. I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ofer Markovitch
Guest Editor
