Central Core Disease Research Paper

Disease is based in fact and is objective, and is not based on the values of the day. I. Argument for Position 1) A disease is not an illness, and the distinction between the two is very important. a) A disease is defined as an unhealthy condition or a condition that affects the functioning

Now different types of MD affect different types of muscles. For example, Duchenne and Becker (DBMD) mainly affects the upper arms and upper legs first, whereas Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD) usually affects the Face, neck, arms, hands, hips, and lower legs first. The muscles in our body help us in our everyday routine, ranging from being able to lift heavy object, to being able to do something as simple as walking. Since MD targets the muscles it becomes difficult to near impossible to accomplish these tasks. It is common for people who have had MD for 5 years or more to be stricken to a wheelchair because the muscles in the legs have weakened to the point of non-existence.

Rigid Spine Syndrome is a type of genetic muscular dystrophy It is very rare, affects 1 out of 40,000 kids In 2006, scientists have connected the cause of RSMD, with the protein Selenoprotein N Selenoprotein N has an unknown function Some effects of this disease includes axial muscle weakness, crooked spine as well as respiratory insufficiency

Amber Miller Susan Manahan BIOL105-L2 25 August 2015 Emerging Diseases Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, more commonly known as MERS, is a severe illness that affects the lungs and breathing tubes and originated in Saudi Arabia (CDC). This illness is said to have originated from an animal (CDC). Cases have been reported in Algeria, Austria, China,

Some are more pronounced than others depending on the type of malformation. However, the most common symptoms are posterior headache on exertion with neck pain, hoarseness or swallowing problems, sleep apnea, weakness or numbness in an extremity, and balance problems. A Chiari malformation can be difficult to diagnose because of the multitude or signs and symptoms that are associated with it and other diseases as well. For instance, the symptom that is associated with pain/ spinal problems can include neck pain, pain across the shoulder blades, chest pain, and curvature of the spine. Each of those symptoms are associated with other disorders as to include; muscle issues, heart attack, and scoliosis (“Chiari I”,

Causes, Pathogenesis and Outcomes for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Introduction Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes progressive deterioration of muscles. This essay is going to focus on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) as it is the most common type of muscular dystrophy in Australia and throughout the world. It is also one of the most severe forms, with many patients in wheelchairs by their mid-teens (Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, 2014). It is estimated that DMD affects 1 in 5000 boys and patients will present with symptoms around the age of 4. Patients may have a range of symptoms including; motor delays, abnormal walking, difficulty getting off the ground, frequent falls and learning difficulties. Eventually DMD can manifest into cardiac and respiratory problems (Yiu and Kornberg, 2015).

What do you think of when you hear the word muscular dystrophy? Some people may have no idea as others may have firsthand experience dealing with this disease or having extensive knowledge on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to inform any healthcare professional, anyone taking care

Children with this type can sit up on their own, but will need assistance getting there. They will never be able to walk or stand on their own. The progression of symptoms can vary greatly with Type II. and because of this, many patients can either live into adulthood and live a normal life or die in an early childhood due to respiratory failure. About seventy percent of patients with Type II are alive at age twenty-five ( The muscles will gradually weaken over time, the thighs before the feet and the legs before the arms. Their hands may weaken but patients will still be able to type and do other basic functions (Ferro 4). The biggest threat with Type II is scoliosis which is a curvature of the spine. Scoliosis can cause an interference in mobility and can cause a change in shape to the chest cavity (Spiegel). “Many physicians believe that severe spinal curvatures also compromise respiratory function, since the curved spine often compresses a lung. In severe SMA, it’s hard to say how much respiratory decline would have occurred even without the curvature, so its contribution is uncertain. (Ferro).” Spine straightening surgery is usually recommended but is risky due to the use of anesthesia and the possible dangerous outcomes such as, postanesthetic respiratory

Examination by Melissa Kliem, DPT, revealed flexion and extension increased pain in the cervical/lumbar region as well as in his upper extremities. Ms. Kliem noted bilateral hip range of motion was guarded due to increased central thoracolumbar region pain. He also exhibited increased chest pain with

Muscular Diseases: Muscular Dystrophy There are different types of diseases that can affect the ability of the skeletal and muscular systems that are caused by many factors including nutrition to exercise, two of the most important. Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a muscular disease in which many different, smaller genetic diseases combine

- Malformation of the fingers in 50% of FOP patients. They either have abnormally short fingers or the fifth finger is bent towards the other fingers. - Severe restriction of movement of the shoulder and spine by the age of 10 years. - Hips are involved by the age of 20 years. - FOP is also characterized

Though importing and exporting goods and the movement of peoples from one place to another are significant contributors to the spread of disease on a global level, I do not believe any measures should be taken to limit these movements unless there is clear evidence of a potential pandemic. Attempting to curb disease by limiting such movements would cause too much social and economic distress and any benefits gained would only be marginal as reducing the spread of disease does little to nothing in regards to curing or eradicating the disease (when allowed to continue to spread within an existing population). In the world’s current state, limiting exports means destroying business which also means damaging local economies. It is evident that
