Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of fetal medicine is evolving rapidly and contributes majorly to modern obstetrics. From fetal anomalies with planned intrauterine or postnatal surgery to screening for complications of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and preterm birth, most fetal diagnoses present relevant implications and benefits of timely preventive interventions. As a result, advances in fetal medicine have contributed greatly to improving maternal and infant outcomes.
The aim of this Special Issue of Reproductive Medicine is to explore current advances in the field of fetal medicine, including early diagnosis of fetal abnormalities, screening and diagnosis of chromosomal defects and genetic syndromes, intrauterine treatment and surgery, placental anomalies, screening and interventions to prevent preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, stillbirth, preterm delivery and management of obstetric problems of multiple pregnancies, assisted reproductive techniques, and maternal disease. Submission of unpublished original studies is welcome, including fundamental and clinical research studies, observational and interventional studies, and randomized controlled trials and reviews, with an emphasis on relevant clinical questions and quantitative syntheses (meta-analyses) of pooled data. Authors are invited to contact the Editorial Team in advance if they require assistance for the preparation of their manuscript.
