Introduction and general guidelinesThis series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in
Obstetric and Pediatric Pharmacology research.
Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of
Obstetric and Pediatric Pharmacology. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
Examples include:
1. Tutorials of how to implement new methods for pediatric or obstetric research.
2. New methods for optimizing pediatric dosing paradigms or treatments.
3. New methods for monitoring and/or optimizing dosing in pregnant and postpartum individuals.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
Examples of techniques could include:
1. Optimal PK and/or PD sample collections
2. Methods to quantify analytes
3. Improved recruitment methods
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for Obstetric and Pediatric Pharmacology research.
Examples could include:
1. Expert opinion about implementing current methods
2. Future directions of the field
3. Tutorials on current methods employed in pediatric or obstetric medicine
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
