Welcome to the October issue of the Ob/Gyn newsletter.

It is with great pleasure that we offer in this special issue (Volume 25, Issue 1) the selected peer reviewed proceedings from the 12th national meeting of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of North America (DPSGNA) held in April 2011 in Washington DC.

The meeting focused on five broad themes: (i) the prevention of diabetes and its risk factors, such as obesity, in pregnancy; (ii) the appropriate use of pharmacotherapies for managing diabetes in pregnancy; (iii) optimal glycemic control; (iv) the value of nutrition, exercise and limiting weight gain during pregnancy and (v) the diagnosis and consequences of diabetic fetopathy.

Diabetes during pregnancy, pregestational and gestational, continues to offer an ever increasing challenge to maternal, fetal and neonatal well-being. By bringing the known authorities in the field to a single scientific forum, the DPSGNA has rendered a seminal service to this profession and we are very proud to be a part of this initiative.

To find out more about this award and Dr. Catalano’s latest research published in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine please read on. We would like to warmly congratulate Dr. Catalano on this wonderful achievement.

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine is delighted to announce a new society partnership. As well as being the official journal of The European Association of Perinatal Medicine, The Federation of Asia and Oceania Perinatal Societies, The Ibero-American Society for Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy, and The International Society of Perinatal Obstetricians, the journal is also now the official journal of the Italian Society of Neonatology.

The proceedings from the XVII Congress of the Italian Society of Neonatology are also now published in English in Volume 24 Supplement 1 of the journal. This premier initiative aims at overcoming the boundaries of the event and at spreading the knowledge of the Italian Society of Neonatology and of its professionals.
