13. The effect of Losartan in the skeletal muscle morphology of Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy: a promising drug for the dystrophic muscle regeneration? / O Efeito do Losartan na morfologia do músculo esquelético do modelo Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy: uma droga promissora para a regeneração da musculatura distrófica?
Duchenne Muscular Dystophy (DMD) has the substitution of the muscle by connective tissue as its most relevant characteristic. Once fibrotic proliferation is a major obstacle to the efficacy of therapies for muscular dystrophies, early interventions to prevent it will probably be necessary as part of an effective treatment. A significant correlation between f

14. Elaboração e análise de confiabilidade de escala de avaliação funcional do sentar e levantar da cadeira para portadores de distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) / Elaboration and functional evaluation scale reliability analysis of sitting and standing from chair for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) carriers
The aim was to construction a scale of sitting and standing from chair for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (EAF-1), to test reliability and to correlate it with running time, age and Vignos scale. The construction occurred by means of 30 childrens evaluation with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (aged 5-12 years), totalizing 120 registers of sitting and standing. It

15. Influência da distrofia muscular do Golden Retriever (GRMD) na viabilidade espermática e nas características morfológicas do aparelho reprodutivo masculino / Influence of Golden Retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) on sperm viability and on morphologic characteristics of the male reproductive tract
Muscular dystrophies constitute a group of diseases characterized by progressive and irreversible muscle degeneration. Duchenne´s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal myopathy caused by dystrophin deficiency, a muscular cell cytoskeleton protein. The dystrophin gene have recessive characteristic and is located in the p21 portion of the X chromosome. Advance

16. Distrofias musculares progressivas de cinturas tipo 2: perfil epidemiolÃgico no estado do Cearà / Muscular Dystrophies progressive of waists type 2: profile epidemiologist in the state of CearÃ, Northeast of Brazil
Objective: To report the clinical and muscle biopsy findings from the recessive forms of limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD type 2) seen in the state of CearÃ, Northeast of Brazil. Design: Case series. Setting: Tertiary care clinic, University hospital. Patients and Methods: We studied 41 patients from 32 families with chronic progressive weakness in a

17. Protein defects in neuromuscular diseases
Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of genetically determined progressive disorders of the muscle with a primary or predominant involvement of the pelvic or shoulder girdle musculature. The clinical course is highly variable, ranging from severe congenital forms with rapid progression to milder forms with later onset and a slower course. In recent

19. Computer method for the analysis of evoked motor unit potentials. 2. Duchenne, limb-girdle, facioscapulohumeral and myotonic muscular dystrophies.
Single motor unit potentials recorded from surface electrodes over the extensor digitorum brevis muscle and evoked by stimulation of the anterior tibial nerve at the ankle were obtained by a computer subtraction method. Their latencies, durations, amplitudes, and areas were measured in control subjects and patients with Duchenne, limb-girdle, facioscapulohum

20. New method for the estimation of the number of motor units in a muscle: 2. Duchenne, limb-girdle and facioscapulohumeral, and myotonic muscular dystrophies
The results of the application of a computerized method for the estimation of motor unit numbers in the human extensor digitorum brevis are presented. In patients with Duchenne and limb-girdle and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophies, motor unit numbers are within the normal range, but are significantly reduced in myotonic muscular dystrophy.

21. Abnormal Polyamine Metabolism in Hereditary Muscular Dystrophies: EFFECT OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE
Previous studies showed hyperre-sponsiveness to human growth hormone (hGH) in men with myotonic or limb girdle dystrophies (MMD or LGD). Because polyamines may mediate some actions of hGH, we have now investigated polyamine metabolism in these and other dystrophies.

23. Is malignant hyperpyrexia muscle denervated?
To test the hypothesis that human muscular dystrophies may be secondary to denervation, the responses in vitro of muscle in human malignant hyperpyrexia to electrical and pharmacological stimuli have been compared with those of the denervated mouse soleus muscle. The results suggest that the muscle abnormality in malignant hyperpyrexia is different from that
