Assessment of the upper motor neuron in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Clinical signs of upper motor neuron (UMN) involvement are an important component in supporting the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but are often not easily appreciated in a limb that is concurrently affected by muscle wasting and lower motor neuron degeneration, particularly in the early symptomatic stages of ALS. Whilst recent criteria have been proposed to facilitate improv...
متن کاملAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neuron syndromes in Asia.
While the past 2 decades have witnessed an increasing understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) arising from East Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China, knowledge of ALS throughout the whole of Asia remains limited. Asia represents >50% of the world population, making it host to the largest patient cohort of ALS. Furthermore, Asia represents a diverse population in ...
متن کاملThe inflammatory NADPH oxidase enzyme modulates motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mice.
ALS is a fatal paralytic disorder characterized by a progressive loss of spinal cord motor neurons. Herein, we show that NADPH oxidase, the main reactive oxygen species-producing enzyme during inflammation, is activated in spinal cords of ALS patients and in spinal cords in a genetic animal model of this disease. We demonstrate that inactivation of NADPH oxidase in ALS mice delays neurodegenera...
متن کاملResveratrol Ameliorates Motor Neuron Degeneration and Improves Survival in SOD1G93A Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Resveratrol has recently been used as a supplemental treatment for several neurological and nonneurological diseases. It is not known whether resveratrol has neuroprotective effect on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To assess the effect of resveratrol on the disease, we tested this agent on an ALS model of SOD1(G93A) transgenic mouse. Rotarod measurement was performed to measure the motor ...
متن کاملCellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Motor Neuron Degeneration in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ALS is the most frequent adult-onset MND whose hallmark is the selective death of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, brain stem and spinal cord, leading to paralysis of voluntary muscles. “Amyotrophy” refers to the atrophy of muscle fibers, which are denervated as their corresponding anterior horn cells of the spinal cord degenerate, leading to weakness of affected muscles. “Lateral scl...
