While portable pools, which include wading pools, inflatable pools, and soft-sided, self-rising pools, can be fun to play in, many parents don’t realize the potential dangers associated with this type of pool. They somehow seem “safer” because they don’t hold as much water as bigger pools. Sadly, during the summer in the U.S., a child drowns every 5 days in a portable pool....

Another approach to improving the health of patients with neuromuscular diseases is to treat the life-threatening effects of the diseases, most notably the muscle degeneration that destroys patients’ ability to walk and ultimately takes their lives.
