In this paper, we establish new sharp double inequality of Becker–Stark type by using a role of the monotonicity criterion for the quotient of power series and the estimation of the ratio of two adjacent even-indexed Bernoulli numbers. The ineq...
Becker’s nevus (BN) is a cutaneous hamartoma which is characterized by circumscribed hyperpigmentation with hypertrichosis. Recent studies have revealed that BN patients harbored postzygotic ACTB mutations, which were restricted to arrector pil...
Becker’s nevus is a relatively common skin lesion with brown hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis. It may be expressed simultaneously with other cutaneous, muscular, or skeletal defects, such as hypoplasia of the breast or scoliosis, for which...
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) result in progressive weakness of skeletal and cardiac muscles due to the deficiency of functional dystrophin. Respiratory failure is a leading cause of mortality in DMD patients; however, improved m...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder generally caused by out-of-frame mutations in the DMD gene. In contrast, in-frame mutations usually give rise to the milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). However, this reading fra...
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by dystrophin gene mutations. The phenotype and evolution of this muscle disorder are extremely clinical variable. In the last years, circulating biomarkers have acquired remark...
The complexity of RNA metabolism has become crucial in neuromuscular diseases, especially for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Our goal was to search for possible pathways that differ between the two diseases, in...
Becker’s nevus (BN) is a cutaneous hamartoma of benign nature that develops through adolescence and affects mostly young men. The nevus is usually located unilaterally and is characterized by hypertrichosis and hyperpigmentation. Despite recent...
A broad mutational spectrum in the dystrophin (DMD) gene, from large deletions/duplications to point mutations, causes Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (D/BMD). Comprehensive genotyping is particularly relevant considering the mutation-centered the...
This article uses two examples of postwar German Jewish literature to explore the way in which these literary reflections on fictionality can also serve to subvert and complicate the national narratives that were developed in East and West Germany. T...
We compare the classical viscoelastic models due to Becker and Lomnitz with respect to a recent viscoelastic model based on the Lambert W function. We take advantage of this comparison to derive new analytical expressions for the relaxation spectrum...
Muscular dystrophy due to dystrophin deficiency in humans is phenotypically divided into a severe Duchenne and milder Becker type. Dystrophin deficiency has also been described in a few animal species, and few DMD gene variants have been identified i...
Pathogenic variants localized in the gene coding for the Fukutin-Related Protein (FKRP) are responsible for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 9 (LGMDR9), Congenital Muscular Dystrophies type 1C (MDC1C), Walker–Warburg Syndrome (WWS), and Musc...

Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that share similar clinical features and dystrophic changes on muscle biopsy, associated with progressive weakness. Weakness may be noted at birth or develop in late adult life. In...
Currently, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the related condition Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) can be usually diagnosed using physical examination and genetic testing. While BMD features partially functional dystrophin protein due to in-frame...
In this study, traceability in pork profile information with ex-ante quality assurance and ex-post traceability are constructed. Consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for traceability information is investigated in Wuxi, China, by combining the M...
The conceptual design, component selection, and deployment experiments of an unmanned amphibious system (US) with a unique Becker in vertical stabilizer based on hydrodynamic research are included in this work. The use of USs is currently expanding s...
The largest genus of Palaearctic Syrphidae, Cheilosia Meigen, 1822 (Syrphidae: Rhingiini), is currently under revision in the Ibero-Balearic region (Iberian Peninsula + Balearic Islands). Prior to this study, various species groups with putative phyl...
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) are X-linked muscle disorders caused by mutations of the DMD gene, which encodes the subsarcolemmal protein dystrophin. In DMD, dystrophin is not expressed due to a disruption in the reading frame of t...

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, accounting for over 50% of all cases. In this regard, in Russia we carry out a program of selective screening for DMD/BMD, which mainly involves male patients...

Dysferlinopathy covers a spectrum of muscle disorder categorized by two major phenotypes, namely Miyoshi muscular dystrophy type 1 (MMD1, OMIM #254130) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy autosomal recessive 2 (LGMDR2, OMIM #253601), and two minor sym...
Dystrophinopathies are X-linked recessive muscle disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene that include deletions, duplications, and point mutations. Correct diagnosis is important for providing adequate patient care and family plann...

Dystrophinopathies, including Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD), are inherited neuromuscular disorders frequently complicated by progressive cardiac involvement, ultimately leading to advanced heart failure. While heart transplan...
Disrupting variants in the DMD gene are associated with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) or with hyperCKemia, all of which present very different degrees of clinical severity. The clinical phenotypes of these disorders could not be dis...
Several clinical trials are working on drug development for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD) treatment, and, since the expected increase in dystrophin is relatively subtle, high-sensitivity quantification methods are necessary. Th...

Mutations that prevent the production of proteins in the DMD gene cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Most frequently, these are deletions leading to reading-frame shift. The “reading-frame rule” states that deletions that preserve ORF res...
In skeletal muscle, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in dystrophin protein stabilization but also in the regulation of myocytes proliferation and differentiation. Hence, they could represent promising therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers f...
Dystrophinopathies are caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Out-of-frame deletions represent most mutational events in severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), while in-frame deletions typically lead to milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Antise...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal X-linked recessive disorder, is caused mostly by frame-disrupting, out-of-frame deletions in the dystrophin (DMD) gene. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated exon skipping is a promising therapy for DMD. Exon s...
