Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of fatigue, pain, anxiety, and depression in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and to analyze their relationship with health-related quality of life. METHODS Cross-sectional study. METHODS Home of participants. METHODS Adults (N=80) with

Three mouse models of muscular dystrophy: the natural history of strength and fatigue in dystrophin-, dystrophin/utrophin-, and laminin alpha2-deficient mice.

To optimize and evaluate treatments for muscular dystrophy, it is important to know the natural history of the disease in the absence of therapeutic intervention. Here we characterized disease progression of three mutant mouse strains of muscular dystrophy: mdx mice, which lack dystrophin;

Is Exercise-Induced Fatigue a Problem in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

Only registered users can translate articles

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating X-linked muscular disorder. The number of studies investigating new therapeutic approaches is substantially increasing. This study aims to investigate the impact and diagnostic value of exercise-induced fatigue in DMD, which has been

Sternohyoid muscle fatigue properties of dy/dy dystrophic mice, an animal model of merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Humans with merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy have both sucking problems during infancy and sleep-disordered breathing during childhood. We hypothesized that merosin-deficient pharyngeal muscles fatigue faster than normal muscles. This was tested in vitro using sternohyoid muscle from

Fatigue in young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

To describe fatigue in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) from patients' and parents' perspectives and to explore risk factors for fatigue in children and adolescents with DMD.A multicentre, cross-sectional study design was used. Seventy-one patients (all

Fnip1 regulates skeletal muscle fiber type specification, fatigue resistance, and susceptibility to muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mammalian skeletal muscle is broadly characterized by the presence of two distinct categories of muscle fibers called type I "red" slow twitch and type II "white" fast twitch, which display marked differences in contraction strength, metabolic strategies, and susceptibility to fatigue. The relative

A potential therapeutic effect of catalpol in Duchenne muscular dystrophy revealed by binding with TAK1

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle disease caused by the loss of dystrophin, which results in inflammation, fibrosis, and the inhibition of myoblast differentiation in skeletal muscle. Catalpol, an

Subjective sleep quality in adult patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Beyond nocturnal hypoventilation.

Only registered users can translate articles

In stable neuromuscular patients under long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV), subjective sleep quality may be predicted by chronic hypoventilation, as assessed by base excess (BE), and %N3 sleep stage duration. In this study, we explored how other variables, closely associated with

Therapeutic possibilities of chronic low frequency electrical stimulation in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

To evaluate the therapeutic possibilities of chronic electrical stimulation, muscle function studies and quantitative tests of physical assessment were used to monitor the response of quadriceps femoris to prolonged low frequency stimulation. Comparative studies of the maximum voluntary and

Postoperative malnutrition in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dysphagia and aspiration seem to be rare in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but cachexia can be associated with early death. Commonly, weight loss can be attributed to inadequate caloric intake caused by loss of ability to self-feed and/or fatigue. Our objective was to determine whether scoliosis

A study of impairments in Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study aimed to document prevalence and age of onset of motor impairments and other key symptoms in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).Retrospective chart review of patients followed at the Saguenay Neuromuscular clinic (Quebec,

Scapulothoracic fusion for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy causes winging of the scapula and weakness and discomfort of the shoulder. Surgical stabilization of the scapula to the posterior part of the chest wall permits shoulder abduction and flexion by the deltoid muscle. In the present retrospective study,

Health-Related Quality of Life and Emotional Distress Among Mothers of Sons With Muscular Dystrophy as Compared to Sex- and Age Group-Matched Controls

Only registered users can translate articles

The health-related quality of life and emotional distress among mothers of sons with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophies (n = 82) were compared to sex- and age group-matched controls (n = 26). Participants self-reported health-related quality of life for themselves and their son(s), emotional

ERK1/2 signaling induces skeletal muscle slow fiber-type switching and reduces muscular dystrophy disease severity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling consists of an array of successively acting kinases. The extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) are major components of the greater MAPK cascade that transduce growth factor signaling at the cell membrane. Here we investigated ERK1/2

Fatigue and neuromuscular diseases.
