Latest research from the 2010 meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine




This month’s issue includes 8 articles that describe research presented at the 2010 meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) in Chicago on February 4-6. From 1256 abstracts submitted, 86 were selected by the Society for oral presentation. Authors of these 86 abstracts were invited to submit their manuscripts through the “Fast-Track” process, in which AJOG reviewers provided rapid reviews in time to allow revision to meet the deadline for inclusion in this issue. These fast-track articles are easily identified by the checkered racing flags on the first page of each as well as next to their titles in the Contents section. We hope our readers will enjoy reading these articles based on oral presentations at the SMFM meeting and those that will appear in upcoming issues of the Journal.
