Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder whose features include abnormal responses to muscular relaxants and possible respiratory dysfunction after general anesthesia. The purpose of this report is to describe one management strategy used successfully to anesthetize an obese man with this

Obesity and pericallosal lipoma in X-linked emery-dreifuss muscular dystrophy: A case report - Does Emerin play a role in adipocyte differentiation?

Only registered users can translate articles

Emery dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare genetic syndrome consisting of tendon retractions, progressive muscle atrophy and cardiac involvement. We report a case of an obese patient affected by the familial X-linked form in which a pericallosal lipoma was found during investigation for a

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with obesity for elective cesarean section: Anesthetic management and brief review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the pelvic or shoulder girdle musculature is predominantly or primarily involved. We report the management of a 27-year-old primigravida with LGMD associated with obesity posted for elective cesarean section. She was

Targeting parents for the treatment of pediatric obesity in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case series.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity is a major public health concern in children. Obesity occurs frequently in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), complicating treatment and impairing functioning. Parent-focused interventions to facilitate weight loss have been successful in other pediatric samples but have not been

Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in patients with muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Aging sarcopenia and muscular dystrophy (MD) are two conditions characterized by lower skeletal muscle quantity, lower muscle strength, and lower physical performance. Aging is associated with a peculiar alteration in body composition called "sarcopenic obesity" characterized by a decrease in lean

Sarcopenic Obesity in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Sarcopenic obesity has been observed in people with neuromuscular impairment, and is linked to adverse health outcomes. It is unclear, however, if sarcopenic obesity develops in adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular

Obesity and Endocrine Management of the Patient With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is associated with an increased risk of endocrine complications due to the effects of prolonged glucocorticoid therapy as well as progressive muscle weakness. Categories of complications include obesity and its comorbidities, short stature, pubertal delay, and

Obesity and Premature Loss of Mobility in Two Adolescents with Becker Muscular Dystrophy After HeartMate II Implantation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Weight gain is common after implantation of continuous-flow ventricular assist devices. Obesity can have a significant negative impact on mobility. For adolescents with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), for whom the ability to ambulate often persists into the mid-3rd decade, preservation of

Muscular dystrophies at different ages: metabolic and endocrine alterations.

Only registered users can translate articles

Common metabolic and endocrine alterations exist across a wide range of muscular dystrophies. Skeletal muscle plays an important role in glucose metabolism and is a major participant in different signaling pathways. Therefore, its damage may lead to different metabolic disruptions. Two of the most

Nutritional assessment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

A specific-weight chart and simple clinical tools are sufficient to obtain an accurate diagnosis of undernutrition or obesity among patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The authors collected weight-for-age measures from a sample of 252 boys and anthropometric data from 109 of those boys

Estimating body composition in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold-thickness measurement.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is often associated with obesity, which worsens the handicap early in the course of the disease. Nutritional assessment, however, can be difficult and often misleading in DMD. OBJECTIVE Two methods of estimating body composition in DMD, skinfold-thickness

Influence of a two-year steroid treatment on body composition as measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Steroids are nowadays routinely used as a long-term treatment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Their effects on body composition were assessed using dual X-ray absorptiometry. The study followed over 2 years 29 genetically confirmed DMD patients: 21 in the steroid-treated group and 8 in the

Truncal fat distribution correlates with decreased vital capacity in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder associated with progressive muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Oral corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment, but are associated with obesity with a central distribution. This study is designed to determine the

Observations of body mass index in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a longitudinal study.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Nutritional issues that are associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) remain poorly understood. The aim of this analysis was to describe and explore longitudinal observations of body mass index (BMI) in a cohort of children with DMD. METHODS Anthropometric and clinical
