Characterization of dystrophin in muscle-biopsy specimens from patients with Duchenne's or Becker's muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: These data show the clinical consequences of both quantitative alterations (in Duchenne's and intermediate dystrophy) in a single protein, and the biochemical assay for dystrophin should prove helpful in delineating myopathies that overlap clinically with DuchenNE's and Becker's Dystrophies and shows promise as an accurate diagnostic tool.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin of the Haitian cholera outbreak strain.

TL;DR: The Haitian epidemic is probably the result of the introduction, through human activity, of a V. cholerae strain from a distant geographic source, and analysis of genomic variation of the Haitian isolates reveals a more distant relationship with circulating South American isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholera transmission: the host, pathogen and bacteriophage dynamic

TL;DR: Advances that will help to unravel how interactions between the host, the bacterial pathogen and the lytic bacteriophage might propel and quench cholera outbreaks in endemic settings and in emergent epidemic regions such as Zimbabwe are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy by dystrophin testing.

TL;DR: Dystrophin analysis is required for accurately distinguishing between Becker dystrophy and clinically similar autosomal recessive myopathies, and the correlation of both the biochemical and clinical data suggests that Duchenne/Becker Dystrophy can be divided into 4 clinically useful categories.
