This month’s issue includes 3 articles that describe research that was presented at the 2011 meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) in San Francisco, CA, February 7-11. From 875 abstracts that were 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 identified easily by the checkered racing flags on the first page of each article and next to their titles in the Contents section. We hope our readers will enjoy reading these articles that are based on oral presentations at the SMFM meeting and those articles that will appear in upcoming issues of the Journal.
The Editors of the Journal and the SMFM Publications Committee thank the authors and reviewers for their diligence in submitting and evaluating these papers that were identified on their title pages as SMFM oral presentations. The reviewers are listed below.
