Objective: To comment the most important situations to be considered as legal according to undergraduate students from Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez (UACJ) towards the voluntary termination of pregnancy.
Methodology: The research has descriptive and cross-sectional design. The instrument used is a Likert scale structured questionnaire, designed and validated previously. A statistically representative sample of students was obtained from the universe, who answered to the instrument.
Results: 84.3% of men and 82.0% of women agree with the voluntary termination of pregnancy, showing a statistically significant association between the attitudes and age, and religion. The situations that greater coincidence they had regarding a legal voluntary interruption of pregnancy were: unborn malformations incompatible with extrauterine life, production of serious damage to maternal health due to pregnancy, and danger of mother's death if continuing with the pregnancy.
Discussion: These results obtained are more or less the same showed in previous researches done in Mexico (anyone in the north side of the country). It may suppose that there is certain homogeneity towards attitudes regarding the voluntary termination of pregnancy. Nevertheless, they are coincident, in some way, like a support to the liberal politics in sexual and reproductive health taken recently in the D. F.

Background: People with intellectual disabilities are less likely to have access to palliative care, and the evidence shows that their deaths are often unanticipated, unplanned for, and poorly managed. Within the general population, people from minoritised ethnic groups are under-represented within palliative care services. End-of-life care planning with people with intellectual disabilities from minoritised ethnic groups may be a way to address these issues.

: Conscientious objection to voluntary abortion remains a hot debate topic. This could affect the accessibility to pregnancy termination. Our aim is to evaluate the possible aspects related to an operators' choice about objection for voluntary abortion, such as the following: the abolition of the time limit, the instruction of a multi-collegiate commission, the introduction of pharmacological rather than surgical procedures, the fetal/maternal illness and the case of sexual violence.

Myotonia congenita, both in a dominant (Thomsen disease) and recessive form (Becker disease), is caused by molecular defects in that encodes the major skeletal muscle chloride channel, ClC-1. This channel is important for the normal repolarization of muscle action potentials and consequent relaxation of the muscle, and its dysfunction leads to impaired muscle relaxation after voluntary or evoked contraction and muscle stiffness. More than 300 pathogenic variants have been found in association with congenital myotonia, inherited as recessive or dominant traits (with complete or incomplete penetrance).
