13. Fast detection of deletion breakpoints using quantitative PCR
Abstract The routine detection of large and medium copy number variants (CNVs) is well established. Hemizygotic deletions or duplications in the large Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD gene responsible for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are routinely identified using multiple ligation probe amplification and array-based comparative genomic hybridizat

14. Responsiveness of the domain climbing up and going down stairs of the Functional Evaluation scale for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: a one-year follow-up
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the responsiveness of the domain climbing up and going down stairs of the Functional Evaluation Scale for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (FES-DMD-D3) in a one-year follow-up study. Method: The study included 26 patients with DMD. Effect Size (ES) and Standardized Response Mean (SRM) described the scale’s responsiveness. Res

15. Orthodontic treatment in a patient with unilateral open-bite and Becker muscular dystrophy. A 5-year follow-up
INTRODUÇÃO: a distrofia muscular de Becker é uma anomalia ligada ao cromossomo X, caracterizada por desgaste muscular progressivo e fraqueza. Este relato de caso mostra o tratamento ortodôntico de um paciente com distrofia muscular de Becker e mordida aberta unilateral.MÉTODOS: na correção de sua má oclusão, anestesia geral e cirurgia ortognática n

16. Advances and perspectives of mechanomyography
INTRODUCTION: The evaluation of muscular tissue condition can be accomplished with mechanomyography (MMG), a technique that registers intramuscular mechanical waves produced during a fiber's contraction and stretching that are sensed or interfaced on the skin surface. OBJECTIVE: Considering the scope of MMG measurements and recent advances involving the tech

17. Laparoscopic guided local injection in the X-linked muscular dystrophy mouse (mdx) diaphragm. An advance in experimental therapies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
PURPOSE:To investigate the development of a laparoscopy technique for local injection into the X-linked muscular dystrophy (mdx) diaphragm.METHODS:It was used 10 mice Balb/C57 and 5 mdx mice and three differents decubitus type were tested: the right lateral, supine, and supine decubitus with 20 degrees elevation of the forelimb. Abdominal caudal face and the

18. Erythropoietin reduces the expression of myostatin in mdx dystrophic mice
Erythropoietin (EPO) has been well characterized as a renal glycoprotein hormone regulating red blood cell production by inhibiting apoptosis of erythrocyte progenitors in hematopoietic tissues. EPO exerts regulatory effects in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a lethal degenerative disorder of skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this

19. Longitudinal assessment of grip strength using bulb dynamometer in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
BACKGROUND: Grip strength is used to infer functional status in several pathological conditions, and the hand dynamometer has been used to estimate performance in other areas. However, this relationship is controversial in neuromuscular diseases and studies with the bulb dynamometer comparing healthy children and children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (D

20. Distrofia muscular de cinturas em crianças brasileiras: caracterização clínica, histologia e molecular
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic muscular dystrophies, involving 16 autosomal recessive subtypes and eight autosomal dominant subtypes. Autosomal recessive dystrophy is far more common than autosomal dominant dystrophy, particularly in children. The clinical course in this group is characterized by progressive prox

21. Postural alignment in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and its relationship with balance
Background: In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, functional deficits seem to arise from body misalignment, deconditioning, and obesity secondary to weakness and immobility. The question remains about the effects of postural deviations on the functional balance of these children. Objectives: To identify and quantify postural deviations in children with DMD in

22. Alterações morfofuncionais renais em cães Golden Retriever Distróficos (GRMD)
A Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy (GRMD) é geneticamente homóloga à distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) que acomete seres humanos. É uma doença genética que gera degeneração progressiva da musculatura esquelética. Considerando-se as intensas alterações musculares, é natural pensar em uma possível lesão renal decorrente da intensa lesão mu

23. Caracterização da deglutição em portadores de distrofia miotônica de Steinert / Characterization of swallowing in patients with myotonic dystrophy of Steinert
INTRODUÇÃO: A disfagia orofaríngea e os distúrbios de motilidade esofágica são considerados as mais importantes causas de pneumonia aspirativa em pacientes com distrofia miotônica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as características clínicas da motricidade orofacial e a deglutição de indivíduos com distrofia miotônica (DM1), utilizando um pro

Avaliação do pico de fluxo de tosse e capacidade vital forçada em pacientes com distrofia muscular ou amiotrofia espinhal submetidos a treinamento de empilhamento de ar / Evaluation of peak cough flow and forced vital capacity in patients with muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy submitted to air stacking training
Introdução: As complicações respiratórias, somadas a baixos volumes pulmonares e tosse ineficiente, decorrentes da fraqueza da musculatura respiratória nas doenças neuromusculares (DNM), são as principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade. Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos do treinamento de empilhamento de ar na função respiratória de pacientes com D
