    Background: Thrombophilia is abnormal blood coagulation that leads to an increased risk of blood tendency to clot. Genetic factors tested as a whole panel consist of seven genetic abnormalities: Factor V Leiden, Factor V, Prothrombin (Factor II), Beta Fibrinogen, Factor 8, MTHFR (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), and four risk factors: Human Platelet Antigen, Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), Glycoprotein IIIa (GP IIIa) and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1).

    Knowledge and Attitude Toward Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation among Al-Quds University Students
    (Al-Quds University - Deanship of Scientific Research, 2023-05-16) Bayan Izhiman; Zainab Qasem; Duha Eid; Raghad Tamimi; Ibrahim Ghannam
    Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a life-saving procedure for individuals suffering from sickle cell anemia, hematologic malignancies, and immunological disorders. However, the probability of finding a well-matched donor within the family ranges between 25% and 30%. The best donor is a fully matched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sibling. For other patients who do not have a matched family member, transplantation from an unrelated volunteer donor may be an option.

    Prevalence of Hemophilia A and B: Molecular and Clinical Similarities and Differences
    (Al-Quds University - Deanship of Scientific Research, 2023-05-16) Hiba abu sharkh; Ruba Idrees; Shadia Al Najar; Khawla Halahla; Lama Manasra; Yara Rawashdeh; Mayar Tarayrah; Aseel Shreteh; Haneen Nur; Mahmoud Ramlawi
    Background: Hemophilia A and B are rare congenital disorders linked to the X chromosome due to a lack or deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), respectively. The severity of the disease depends on decreased levels of factor VIII or factor IX, which are determined by the type of causative mutation in the gene coding factors (F8 and F9, respectively), and this can lead to spontaneous bleeding, as well as bleeding after injuries or surgery, given the importance of hemophilia. The old and recent studies aimed at identifying the disease and making society aware of it. Despite this, the Palestinian society lacks local awareness of this disease.

    Vaginitis among Pregnant Women in Southern Provinces of Palestine
    (Al-Quds University - Deanship of Scientific Research, 2023-05-16) Marwah Ghayadah; Fatima Thawabtah; Shahd Taradeh; Shada Abu Turky; Manar Abu Rajab; Sahar awad; Ahmad shawabkah; Mohamed Jaradat; Hanen Nur; Mahmoud Ramlawi
    Background: Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can lead to discharge. The cause is usually a change in the balance of vaginal bacteria or an infection. The most common types of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection. The former results from an overgrowth of bacteria that are naturally present in the vagina and upsetting the natural balance. Yeast infections are usually caused by a naturally occurring fungus called Candida albicans. The prevalence of vaginitis varies between countries and within the same country, and to our knowledge, no data is available for vaginitis in Southern Palestine.
