Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The technological leap in recent decades has enabled more intense research in the field of prenatal medicine, and has facilitated the collection of evidence that has contributed to the implementation of the goal of the World Health Organization, “Making pregnancy safer”. A number of high-tech investigations have become widely available for research and medical practice. This progress has made it possible to capitalize on the creativity of human resources in more and more regions of the world. The development of databases at national and international levels, digitization, and the increase of the remote communication capacity through faster transfer of large volumes of information have facilitated the collaboration and the performance of multicenter studies. All this ultimately translates into a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and the development of new screening and treatment protocols. Technological progress has also amplified the interdisciplinary nature of research and care in the field of antenatal medicine. The improved quality of life of many population segments has changed habits, and has led to changes in the structure and manifestation of pathology. Despite all the progress made, a large part of the world’s population and the doctors who care for pregnant women carry out their lives and work in precarious conditions.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide authors around the world with the opportunity to publicize cutting-edge research results as well as aspects of epidemiology and particularities of antenatal care in the field of antenatal medicine, specific to various regions of the world.
