A Study of Development of Pseudohypertrophisms in a Patient with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Hypertrophy is the abnormal enlargement of a body part or organ, especially when bodybuilder or athletes take androgenic hormone, likes steroids, androgen, corticoids the muscles can hypertrophy. In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) the Pseudohypertrophisms is found in the patients. The aim of the study is to monitor the development of the pseudohypertrophisms in the DMD patients. The molecular diagnosis and Creatine Phosphokinase test was carried out to confirm the DMD. Anthropometric analysis of enlargement of a body part,organ and muscles were recorded. The collected data was compared with the age matched control participants. The abnormal enlargement of a body muscles and organ were observed in patients. We also collected data regarding the onset of pain in hypertrophic muscles. The DMD is fatal neuromuscular genetic disorder, still no assure cure available on it, though the recent discoveries in genetics give us a wide area of Gene Therapy. The prevention and reduce fatal effect is the only way to control the diseases. Therefore diagnosis in the early stage is important in the DMD. In DMD, the pseudohypertrophisms found in the early stage and it is one of the most primitive symptoms of DMD.
