World Duchenne Awareness Day
Every year on September 7th, World Duchenne Awareness Day honors infant boys who live with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). (DMD) is a registered disability in the United States. It's also a day to raise concerns of this genetic disorder..
1 in every one of 5,000 boys is born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Progressive muscle degeneration and weakness are typical of this genetic disorder. uscle degeneration is triggered by a protein called dystrophin. Dystrophin is the protein that maintains muscle cells intact. This protein is also lacking in the brain for those with DMD. Children with DMD often have learning difficulties and behavioral problems as a result of their autism..
Girls can also be carriers of this disease, but only moderately affected. Boys are more likely to be affected by the disease. Boys are also affected by DMD, which also affects boys more severely.
DMD has several common signs such as::
- Frequent falls
- Trouble getting up
- Walking and running are both difficult and running
- Abnormal gait
- Large calf muscles
- re learning disabilities are learning disabilities
- Heart problems
There is no such thing as a cure for DMD. Corticosteroid therapy is the only safe treatment for DMD. Prednisone daily treatments help muscle endurance and function.. The development of muscle weakness also slows as a result of Prednisone..
Certain types of medications can also help with symptoms. These therapies include range-of-motion exercises, braces to keep muscles tight and flexible, and the use of mobility aids, such as wheelchairs and walkers.. Oxygen therapy may be needed as the disease begins to weaken the respiratory muscles.
The life expectancy of those born with DMD has increased over the years thanks to these types of medications and therapies. Boys with DMD will not be expected to see their teenage years for the first time at one time. However, those with DMD will most likely reach their 30s, 40s, and 50s, as well as their 40s and 50s.
