Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease of the nervous system. The cause is not known and there is no cure, although progress is being made on both fronts. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease after the famous baseball player who died from it. ALS attacks motor neurons, which are among the largest of all nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These cells send messages to muscles throughout the body. In ALS, motor neurons die and the muscles do not receive these messages. As a result, muscles weaken as they lose their ability to move. Eventually, most muscle action is affected, including those which control swallowing and breathing, as well as major muscles in the arms, legs, back and neck. There is, however, no loss of sensory nerves, so people with ALS retain their sense of feeling, sight, hearing, smell and taste. The mind is not affected by

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive, fatal neurological disease affecting as many as 20,000 Americans with 5,000 new cases occurring in the United States each year. The disorder belongs to a class of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. ALS occurs when specific nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary movement gradually degenerate. The loss of these motor neurons causes the muscles under their control to weaken and waste away, leading to paralysis. ALS manifests itself in different ways, depending on which muscles weaken first. Symptoms may include tripping and falling, loss of motor control in hands and arms, difficulty speaking, swallowing and/or breathing, persistent fatigue, and twitching and cramping, sometimes quite severely. ALS strikes in mid-life. Men are about one-and-a-half times more likely to have the disease as women. Is there any treatment?

However, the cause, cure or means of control of ALS are presently unknown. The onset of ALS is insidious with muscle weakness or stiffness as early symptoms. Inevitable progression of wasting and paralysis of the muscles of the limbs and trunk as well as those that control vital functions such as speech, swallowing and respiration follows. Mental faculties are not affected. Also, ALS is not contagious. It is estimated that ALS is responsible for one out of every hundred thousand deaths in people over 20. Over 5,000 people in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with ALS each year. The incidence of ALS is five times higher than Huntington's disease and about equal to multiple sclerosis. More people die every year of ALS than of Huntington's disease or multiple sclerosis.

OTOLARYNGOLOGY ASPECTS OF AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS April 23, 1992 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the motor neurons. Most of the morbidity and eventual mortality is primarily the result of the bulbar and respiratory involvement by the disease. Otolaryngologists are frequently consulted to participate in the care of ALS patients and will occasionally be the first physician consulted if bulbar symptoms predominate. Pathologic evaluation in ALS shows symmetric demyelinization of the pyramidal columns and loss of anterior horn cells in the spinal cord and in the motor nuclei of the bulb.

Annual incidence is approximately 1/100,000 population Pockets of high incidence in Guam (ALS-Parkinson-dementia complex), the Kii peninsula of Japan, and western New Guinea. 95% of cases in the US are of the sporadic variety, but a few families have several members with the typical clinical picture of sporadic ALS arising in an autosomal dominant pattern. Onset of the disease can be as early as the third decade of life, most cases begin after age 40, and the incidence increases into the eighth decade. Etiology: unknown Male = Female Symptoms Slowly progressive muscle weakness involving the limbs, trunk, respiratory muscles, throat, and tongue. Onset is insidious, and initial symptoms may be confined to a single limb, especially the distal muscles.

Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Riluzole has been approved for treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in many countries but not all. Questions persist about its clinical utility because of high cost, modest efficacy and concern over adverse effects. Objectives: To examine the efficacy of riluzole in prolonging survival, and in delaying the use of surrogates (tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation) to sustain survival. Search strategy: Search of the Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group Register for randomized trials and enquiry from authors of trials, Aventis (manufacturer of riluzole) and other experts in the field. The most recent search was May, 2001 Selection criteria: Types of studies: randomized trials

Extractions: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disease that attacks the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control muscles. It gets worse over time (is progressive). Motor neurons carry messages about movement from the brain to the muscles, but in ALS the motor neurons degenerate and die; therefore, the messages to move no longer get to the muscles. When muscles aren't used for a long time, they weaken, waste away (atrophy), and twitch under the skin (fasciculate). Eventually, all the muscles that a person can control (voluntary muscles) are affected. People with ALS lose the ability to move their arms, legs, mouth, and body. It may get to the point that the muscles used for breathing are affected, and the person might need a respirator (ventilator) in order to breathe. Because ALS only affects the muscles, a person's mind is not impaired, so he or she still has personality, intelligence, and memory, and can see, hear, taste, and recognize touch. People with ALS can live 3 to 10 years or more after diagnosis.
