Height, weight, and body mass index trajectories and their correlation with functional outcome assessments in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
The analysis of height, weight, and BMI z‐score trajectories in boys with DMD from the FOR‐DMD study showed that higher baseline height was associated with slower subsequent growth, and older age with greater weight gain after glucocorticoid initiation.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Modeling and Therapy

open access: yesCells, 2018
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder, caused by mutation of the DMD gene which encodes the protein dystrophin. This dystrophin defect leads to the progressive degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Screening for brain‐related comorbidities in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Construction, reliability, and validity of the BIND screener

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
The Brain Involvement iN Dystrophinopathies (BIND) screener is an 18‐item questionnaire with strong reliability and validity for identifying potential brain‐related comorbidities in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It allows rapid, cross‐age and cross‐country screening for both clinical and research purposes, demonstrating good sensitivity and specificity.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Sarcospan Regulates Cardiac Isoproterenol Response and Prevents Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy–Associated Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal cardiac and skeletal muscle disease resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene. We have previously demonstrated that a dystrophin‐associated protein, sarcospan (SSPN), ameliorated Duchenne muscular ...

Are Clowns Good for Everyone? The Influence of Trait Cheerfulness on Emotional Reactions to a Hospital Clown Intervention

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Trait cheerfulness predicts individual differences in experiences and behavioral responses in various humor experiments and settings. The present study is the first to investigate whether trait cheerfulness also influences the impact of a hospital clown ...

Long-term microdystrophin gene therapy is effective in a canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an incurable X-linked muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Gene therapy using highly functional microdystrophin genes and recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors is an ...

Effect of bulb type on moth trap catch and composition in UK gardens

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We analyse 10 years of records Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) to estimate the effect of bulb and trap type on the number of moths caught by moth traps. We find that brighter, higher wattage bulbs collect the most moths. Heath traps catch fewer moths than Robinson or Skinner‐stye traps.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis associated to Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common muscle disease found in male children. Currently, there is no effective therapy available for Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Therefore, it is essential to make a prenatal diagnosis and provide genetic
