Impact of Pregnancy-Related Venous Thromboembolism on Quality of Patients' Lives.

During pregnancy, the risk of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) is increased at least five times compared with non-pregnant women of the same age, while the relative risk in the postpartum period can be as high as sixty times. The aim of the study was to explore the impact of pregnancy-related VTE on patients' mental, professional, social and personal life. Cross-sectional study at Jordan University Hospital's Obstetrics Department.

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (JUCTCi017-A) from a patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) due to a homozygous p.Lue287Ser fs14* mutation in the SGCB gene.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a large group of heterogenous genetic diseases characterized by muscle weakness. In this study, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from LGMD patient's skin dermal fibroblasts, carrying a homozygous mutation in the Sarcoglycan Beta (SGCB) gene; chr4:52890221, c. 859 delC, p.
