Nutrição e Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne – Artigo 6

Nutritional Issues among Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy—Incidence of Deficiency and Excess Body Mass Abstract: The progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)requires the assessment of nutritional disturbances at each stage of the disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the nutritional status in various ages of boys with DMD using screening and in-depth evaluation methods. Body composition by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), basal metabolic rate (BMR) by indirect calorimetry, a questionnaire of nutritional status—Pediatric Nutrition Screening Tool (PNST)—and ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe, progressive, muscle-wasting disease that leads to difficulties with movement and, eventually, to the need for assisted ventilation and premature death. The disease is caused by mutations in DMD (encoding dystrophin) that abolish the production of dystrophin in muscle. Muscles without dystrophin are more sensitive to damage, resulting in progressive loss of muscle tissue and function, in addition to cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have greatly deepened our understanding of the primary and secondary pathogenetic ...

Distrofia muscular de Duchenne: uma revisão narrativa RESUMO A Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne (DMD) é uma condição genética progressiva e heterogênea, caracterizada primordialmente pela degradação da força muscular, resultando em incapacidade de locomoção e, eventualmente, comprometimento dos músculos respiratórios e cardíacos. Conhecida pela sua ligação ao cromossomo X, afeta majoritariamente indivíduos do sexo masculino e mulheres com Síndrome de Turner, devido à sua transmissão recessiva ligada ao X. Este estudo tem como objetivo principal definir a Distrofia ...

Nutrição e Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne – Artigo 2

Nutrition Strategies to Improve Physical Capabilities in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal, X-linked recessive, muscle-wasting disease1 caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, located on chromosome Xp21. Mutations of the dystrophin gene result in the absence of the dystrophin protein, which leads to an impaired linkage between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix protein laminin 2 via the membrane-bound dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC).2,3 In the absence of dystrophin, the mechanical links from the cytoskeleton of the muscle ...

Nutritional Challenges in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Abstract: Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) represent a heterogeneous group of acquired or inherited conditions. Nutritional complications are frequent in NMDs, but they are sometimes underestimated. With the prolongation of survival in patients with NMDs, there are several nutritional aspects that are important to consider, including the deleterious effects of overnutrition on glucose metabolism, mobility, and respiratory and cardiologic functions; the impact of hyponutrition on muscle and ventilatory function; constipation and other ...
