Have you heard of the name Dr. Stephen Hawkings? He is a famous scientist and is referred as the Einstein [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] of the 20th century. Such an intelligent and gifted person, is he not? You might think that he is lucky to be so blessed, but he is not. He has a muscular dystrophy.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder in which the muscle is weakened. Due to this, the person with MD has difficulties in movement and may even not be able to move at all without assistance. The muscle weakening is due to [url=http://www.buynflticketsonline.com]Cheap NFL Tickets[/url] the incorrect or lack of information in the genes of the affected person. And because it is genetic, it is not communicable, but rather transferred to the offspring from one generation to the other. People with MD may develop the symptoms as a [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] child, as a teen or even in their late adulthood.
There are several major forms of muscular dystrophy and they have different symptoms. They are as follows:
� Duchene Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) - this is the most common form of muscular dystrophy and usually affects boys. The problem with DMD is that the gene lack dystrophin. Dystrophin is a protein that helps the muscle keeps their strength and form. Without this, the muscle becomes weak and then eventually breaks down. The symptoms usually develop between the age of 2 and 6. When they reach their teens, they will most probably be in [url=http://www.mylnefieldanalysis.co.uk/barbour.html]barbour outlet[/url] wheelchair. The heart muscles also begin to weaken. Scoliosis may also develop. When the muscles used for breathing becomes affected, the affected person might need the assistance of ventilator for breathing. People affected with DMD don�t usually reach their late teens.
� Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) � BMD also affects boys. The disease is also very similar with DMD. The difference is that the symptoms, like muscle weakening and [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] breakdown, usually appear in the teen years or even in the adult years. People with BMD also suffer problems with the heart, bone, joints and breathing. The life expectancy depends on the time of onset of the symptoms and the severity of the breathing and heart problems.
� Emery-Dreifus Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD) � This form of MD mostly affects boys too. The symptoms appear in the late childhood and even as late as 25. The muscles involved are the muscles in the shoulders, upper arms, and shins, and it also causes joint problems and even heart problems.
� Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) � This type of MD affects both girls and boys. Onset of symptoms starts as early as childhood and as [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] late as mid-adulthood. The muscles affected are the muscles in the upper arms and shoulders and muscles around the hip and legs. Wheelchair may be needed as the disease progress.
� Fascioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) � both girls and boys are affected with this type of MD. The onset also varies. Maybe as early as the teen years or as late as adult years. Muscles affected are the muscles in the face, [url=http://www.eastscotinvest.co.uk/mulberry.html]mulberry outlet[/url] shoulders and even legs. People with this type of MD usually have a hard time whistling, raising their arms, and tightly closing their eyes. Effects of this kind of MD vary. Some are mild, others severe.
� Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD) � this form of MD affects the relaxation of muscles. People with MMD have a hard time relaxing their muscles and results to wasting of muscles, cataracts and heart [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] problems.
� Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD) � This term is coined for all the MD types that are already present at a young age. They may not be diagnosed immediately. Both boys and girls are [url=http://www.eastscotinvest.co.uk/mulberry.html]mulberry sale[/url] affected and symptoms are weakness of muscles and lack or poor muscle tone. CMD can also result to retardation and/or learning disabilities.
Muscular dystrophy has no cure but doctors are finding ways. Diagnosis is through physical exam. Doctors also ask questions as to the symptoms you are experiencing. A thorough family history is also important. Muscle biopsy can also [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] be conducted for suspected patients. A genetic exam may reveal if you have DMD.
