Psychological variables account for anxiety and depression among pregnant women during COVID-19

Psychological variables account for anxiety and depression among pregnant women during COVID-19 Women who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic report having felt greater stress in the delivery process, and rate lower the quality of care received. Furthermore, almost 15% more women developed symptoms of postpartum depression after giving birth during the pandemic. A study carried out by researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) indicates that psychological variables have contributed to more severe anxiety and depression among pregnant women since the COVID-19 pandemic began. These psychological variables include the general stress suffered, the concerns that women have about the pregnancy itself, personal resilience, insomnia, fear of catching the virus, or the feeling of loneliness.

Researchers use massive sequencing methods to identify rare genetic bone disorder

Researchers use massive sequencing methods to identify rare genetic bone disorder Researchers of the Cell Biology and Physiology-LABRET group of the University of Malaga (UMA), together with the Networking Biomedical Research Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN), have described a new genetic skeletal disorder based on a precision medicine strategy. By using methods of massive sequencing -of all genes- they have identified the mutations that caused a rare bone disorder, particularly, the mutations in LAMA5 , the gene encoding an extracellular matrix protein around blood vessels in skeletal tissue. This disorder consists in an extreme bone fragility combined with a lack of mineralization and skeletal deformity associated with joint dislocation and heart diseases, as well as a pulmonary insufficiency that causes perinatal mortality -at the time of birth.
