Does he have any trouble breathing? How well does he pay attention or remember things? The doctor will give your child a physical exam, and he may do some tests to rule out other conditions that can cause muscle weakness.
system: Why is it important for a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to see a heart doctor?
output: Because DMD can cause heart problems, it's important for your child to see a heart doctor, called a cardiologist, for checkups once every 2 years until age 10, and once a year after that. Girls and women who carry the gene have a higher risk of heart problems, too. They should see a cardiologist in their late teens or early adult years to check for any problems. Some blood pressure medicines may help protect against muscle damage in the heart. Kids with DMD might need surgery to fix shortened muscles, straighten the spine, or treat a heart or lung problem.
system: What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
output: Children with DMD have a hard time standing up, walking, and climbing stairs. Many eventually need wheelchairs to get around. They can also have heart and lung problems. Although there isn't a cure, the outlook for people with DMD is better than it has ever been. Years ago, children with the disease usually didn't live beyond their teens. There are therapies that can ease symptoms, and researchers are looking for new ones, as well. DMD is caused by a problem in one of your genes. A few other gene therapies may soon be ready for sale in the U. S. To learn more about Duchenne muscular dystrophy or find a support group in your area, visit: Cure Duchenne, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, or the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy.
system: What causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
output: DMD is caused by a problem in one of your genes. Genes contain the information your body needs to make proteins, which carry out many different body functions. If you have DMD, the gene that makes a protein called dystrophin is broken. This protein normally keeps muscles strong and protects them from injury. It's rare, but sometimes people who don't have a family history of DMD get the disease when their genes get defects on their own.

system: When you're pregnant, how does the chorionic villus sampling (CVS) test for Down syndrome work?
output: Chorionic villus sampling ( CVS) tests cells from the placenta, which passes nutrients from mother to baby. Your doctor gets the cells either through your cervix or with a needle through your belly. It can be done at 10 to 12 weeks -- earlier than you can get an amnio -- but has a slightly higher chance of causing a miscarriage or other problems.
system: What is cordocentesis as a diagnostic test for Down syndrome in a pregnancy?
output: Then, during weeks 15-22, you get another blood test called the âquad screen.â It looks for four different markers that could be signs of Down syndrome. Your doctor uses a needle to take blood from the umbilical cord. This procedure has about a 1.4% to 1.9% chance of miscarriage , more than the other tests, so it's only done if the others don't give clear results.
system: What types of tests check your baby for Down syndrome during pregnancy?
output: There are two types of tests you can get: Screening tests tell you how likely it is that your baby has Down syndrome. Diagnostic tests tell if your baby actually has it -- it's a clear yes or no. Typically, you might start with a screening test. Then, if it looks like Down syndrome is a possibility, you might get a diagnostic test. Diagnostic tests have some risk of causing a miscarriage.
system: What is an amniocentesis test during pregnancy?
output: Ultrasound looks at the fluid in an area of the baby's neck called the ânuchal fold.â If the fluid level is higher than normal, it could be a sign of Down syndrome. These types of tests look at the baby's chromosomes to check for Down syndrome. Amniocentesis (âamnioâ) tests a sample of amniotic fluid, which surrounds your baby in the womb. There is a slight risk of miscarriage -- about 0.6% -- with a second-trimester amnio, while research shows the risk being higher before 15 weeks of pregnancy.

system: How can managing stress help with sun-damaged skin?
output: Inner turmoil takes a huge toll on skin. Part of the reason is that stress increases the hormone cortisol. It keeps skin from holding on to water and triggers a spike in blood sugar that damages collagen and elastin. Any type of exercise can tame tension, but yoga seems to be an especially good way to lower cortisol levels.
