چکیده

haemarthrosis from further analysis as they could be argued to be more serious injuries. We analysed attendance for the remaining 364 case-control pairs only. Case children attended significantly fewer half days in school after injury than control children (7.38 v 9.40, P < 0.001). Deprivation scores for matched pairs did not differ significantly, and there was no association between missed time at school and deprivation score. Mean half day attendance in the week preceding injury did not differ significantly between case children and control children (9.25 v 9.59, P > 0.1).

Duchenne muscular dystrophy mouse models have a predictable and reproducible time course of cardiomyopathy progression with discrete pathogenic steps, which closely parallel what we know occurs in the cardiomyopathy of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The slow progression of early pathogenic steps common to many cardiomyopathies may make Duchenne muscular dystrophy models useful for i...
