has anyone heard of the muscle condition 'Central Core Myopathy'?

---

Central core disease is a type of congenital myopathy where there is absence of organelles and myofibrils in the central
cores of muscle fibres. The disease is characterized by the presence of myofibrillar cores which are best demonstrated by oxidative enzyme histochemistry. An important feature of the disease is its close association with malignant hyperthermia. Central core disease is a slowly progressing skeletal muscle disorder that, unlike most of the muscular dystrophies, is not life-threatening. It is called central core disease because the muscle cells associated with the disease have an abnormal light inner core surrounded by a dark circle. Central core disease develops before early infancy and its symptoms include hip displacement, an inability to jump and run smoothly, and general weakening of the muscles. Associated symptoms and findings may include abnormally diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), potentially resulting in unusual "floppiness" of muscles; muscle weakness; delays in motor development, such as in walking; and/or, in some cases, associated musculoskeletal problems, such as dislocation of the hips at birth (congenital). CCD may also be associated with susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia, a potentially life-threatening reaction to certain anesthetics or skeletal muscle relaxants.  (+ info)

what is the ratio that my child will have central core disease?

---

It's odd, I can't find out... With most diseases you can find a statistic along the lines of "x in 1000 people are affected by this condition" but not for CCD. What I can say is that if either you or your partner have the condition, there is a 50% chance that your child will also. If neither of you have it, then the chances of catching the disease are very, very low. The disease is a type of Muscular Dystrophy, apparently, so if you send an e-mail to [email protected] then they should be able to provide you with moer information.  (+ info)

How i totally can remove my cousin genetic limb-gridle myopathy.?

---

My cousin Arif has genetic limb-gridle myopathy.He suffered this disease for about 10 years.Please find solution to remove
from these type of disease for ever.
No definitive treatments for the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies exist. Management is tailored to each individual and each specific subtype. Management to prolong survival and improve quality of life includes weight control to avoid obesity, physical therapy and stretching exercises to promote mobility and prevent contractures, use of mechanical aids to help ambulation and mobility, surgical intervention for orthopedic complications, use of respiratory aids when indicated, monitoring for cardiomyopathy in subtypes with cardiac involvement, and social and emotional support and stimulation

What is a body core and why is it important to exercise to improve your core strength?
the core of your body is your abdominal muscles, mainly your front and side abs, which consist of many layers of muscle.
