Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. 349 out of 2.37 million males aged 5-24 were reported to have DMD or BMD in the United States. This means that about 15 of every 100‚000 males aged between 5-24 were affected that year. Also‚ a close friend of mine had muscular dystrophy so it played a role in my life. I wanted to know if it could be cured and if not was there any treatments for it. Muscular dystrophy could potentially be cured through

Organism Physiology Paper Deborah Chase Biology 101 Professor Y. Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive

An explanation of the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body‚ the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the

A CASE OF LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY FOR TOTAL THYROIDECTOMY: ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) refers to a genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies that present with weakness mainly involving the shoulder and hip girdles.1 LGMD has a predominantly proximal distribution of weakness which early in the course of the disease spares distal‚ facial‚ & extra ocular muscles. Most childhood onset cases have a pelvifemoral distribution
