A Shape-Based Functional Index for Objective Assessment of Pediatric Motor Function [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Clinical assessments for neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), continue to rely on subjective measures to monitor treatment response and disease progression. We introduce a novel method using wearable sensors to objectively assess motor function during daily activities in 19 patients with ...

Preliminary design of a device to assist handwriting in children with movement disorders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
This paper presents the development of a new passive assistive handwriting device, which aims to stabilize the motion of people living with movement disorders. Many people living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy or dystonia experience upper limbs impairments (muscle spasticity, unselective motor control, muscle ...

Targeting RyR Activity Boosts Antisense Exon 44 and 45 Skipping in Human DMD Skeletal or Cardiac Muscle Culture Models

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2019
Systemic delivery of antisense oligonucleotides (AO) for DMD exon skipping has proven effective for reframing DMD mRNA, rescuing dystrophin expression, and slowing disease progression in animal models.

Cytokines and Chemokines as Regulators of Skeletal Muscle Inflammation: Presenting the Case of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited muscle disease that affects 1 in 3500 boys worldwide. Infiltration of skeletal muscle by inflammatory cells is an important facet of disease pathophysiology and is strongly associated with disease ...

Stress exposure in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy provokes a widespread metabolic response

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A targeted mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics assay was conducted to identify the impact of stress exposure on the regulation of biological stress pathways in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We demonstrated a broad shift in the circulating stress‐relevant plasma metabolome associated with stressful scruff handling that was ...
