Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an genetic muscle-wasting disease that leads to disability and early death. In all cases of this disease, the gene for a protein known as dystrophin is mutated. How does a dysfunctional dystrophin gene cause DMD? Find out in this episode of Medicurio.
What are Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy? Muscular dystrophy is where the muscles weaken and lose muscle mass; in this case, both Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are caused by a genetic mutation in the dystrophin gene.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most severe form of muscular dystrophy that affects 1 in 3500 boys and leads to progressive muscle degeneration and death by the second decade of life.

This clinical progression created by Helen Posselt PT for PPMD, is around 8 years old. For many today, these dreadful milestones will be thankfully delayed because of better treatment and care, most notably steroids and physiotherapy, then cardiac and respiratory care.
Stanford MSTP Unsolved Mysteries Seminar series. Here Kevin Yackle (SMS 07) and Ron Alfa (SMS 07) review the clinical and pathologic findings in the X-linked muscle disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). They present a new model for the molecular pathogenesis centered around the increased susceptibility of glycolytic fibers to degeneration in DMD.
By: http://www.ilmkidunya.com/ Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X-linked form of muscular dystrophy, which results in muscle degeneration, difficulty walking, breathing, and death. The incidence is 1 in 3,000 boys. Females and males are affected, though females are rarely affected and are more often carriers.

The Stories

Currently preparing for festival entries prior to full release in 2013. Visit www.alifeworthlivingfilm.com for more details!
This is a movie about a little boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. DMD has no treatment and no cure. It is terminal and progressive. Jordan Pollak created this beautiful film to help bring awareness of Duchenne as well as honor Christopher Callahan and his family as they work to make sure that Christopher's days are filled with love for life and for each other.
Jennifer McNary & Christine McSherry of the Jett Foundation discuss how this disease has affected their sons.
This is the story of Harrison Smith, our son. We found out he had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in January 2011. To most people Harrison looks completely healthy. But on the inside, our powerful little boy is struggling. His muscles are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Because he has Duchenne.

How duchenne impacts on those caring for and living with, duchenne muscular dystrophy
""People cry, not because they are weak, it's because they have been strong for too long" Heart touching insights into what it is like to live with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Presented by Duchenne Foundation, the only national Australian not-for-profit dedicated to supporting Australians with Duchenne - the one in 3500 boys, and the one in 50,000000 rare girls - and their families.
Donate Today: http://www.duchennefoundation.org.au/index.php/donate/ This video features several families who share their thoughts, insights and the real lived experiences of Duchenne. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed during early childhood. it affects approximately one out of every 3,500 boys.
The original Duchenne Timeline, viewed over 500,000 on this channel alone, was created by Helen Posselt PT for PPMD and followed the natural progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, this "Updated" Duchenne Timeline considers the effects of consensus treatments over the last decade or more, which have delayed degenerative milestones for many in order to extend both quality and quantity of life.
