Respiratory Muscle Strength as a Predictive Biomarker for Survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
RATIONALE Biomarkers for survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) would facilitate the development of novel drugs. Although respiratory muscle weakness is a known predictor of poor prognosis, a comprehensive comparison of different tests is lacking. OBJECTIVES To compare the predictive power of invasive and noninvasive respiratory muscle strength assessments for survival or ventilator-...
متن کاملCystatin C: A Candidate Biomarker for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurologic disease characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration. Clinical disease management is hindered by both a lengthy diagnostic process and the absence of effective treatments. Reliable panels of diagnostic, surrogate, and prognostic biomarkers are needed to accelerate disease diagnosis and expedite drug development. The cysteine pr...
متن کاملPhosphorylated tau as a candidate biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
IMPORTANCE An increasingly varied clinical spectrum of cases with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been identified, and objective criteria for clinical trial eligibility are necessary. OBJECTIVE To develop a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of ALS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A case-control study including 51 individuals with ALS and ...
متن کاملMultimodal MRI as a diagnostic biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVE Reliable biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are needed, given the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. Here, we provide proof-of-concept for using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic biomarker for ALS. Specifically, we evaluated the added diagnostic utility of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). ME...

400 www.thelancet.com/neurology Vol 10 May 2011 might benefi t from early initiation of therapy to prevent or delay progression to multiple sclerosis. Data from this study could also provide clues as to the causes and development of multiple sclerosis, because the interactions between genetic and environmental factors were analysed in children during the period of fi rst exposure to environment...
