Hi! I'm about to graduate from biomedical engineering and in order for me to graduate I need to do my thesis, I'm going to develop a telecommunications system with an SVM classfier so I can upload a database with a x number of emg readings, I'm focusing on duchenne's and becker's muscular dystrophies, I havent found a website nor an article that states what's the normal frequency, amplitude, time, etc in which children are considered to have any of these dystrophies and I was wondering if you could help me out with that, maybe you could recommend me an article, some literature I should be looking into, I don't know, something. I'd highly appreciate it and thank you so much for uploading these videos!

Hello! I learned about a new drug from ARTHEx Biotech that can greatly help people who have myotonic dystrophy. Do you have any predictions as to when this new drug will be available for purchase?

Thank you Dr. Freilich. My nephew was born with DM1 . 100 days in intensive care with respiratory problems and unable to feed with a bottle. Now he is breathing and bottle feeding and goes better. My question is, from your knowledge, willhe deteriorate ? Any prognosis in such early onset case?

Hello Dr. Simon Freilich, I was diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy type 1 when I was living in London. I currently live in my country where very little is known about my illness, Soon I will be operated on for cataracts. I have asked the neurologist why literature mentions the word toxicity in muscular dystrophies and he told me that this happens when you are intoxicated with some chemical; but I think that is not the answer. Could you help me with that please? I am currently taking phenytoin 3 times a day.
I think if dystrophy is synonymous with deficiency and your body is intoxicated. What would happen if you detoxify your body and give it nutrients (vitamins, proteins, etc). Please help me. Thank you so much.
