A 57-year-old woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) receiving mechanical ventilation developed intractable right temporal headache. She was diagnosed with brain abscess secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media. In this case, the otitis media was caused by nasopharyngeal reflux
A 57-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was admitted because of depressive state. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), an antidepressant, was started on the admission day. The throbbing headache in the right temporal region appeared on day 3, and an analgesic drug was
We retrospectively reviewed 17 polysomnograms (PSG) in symptomatic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients to assess the type and frequency of sleep disordered events and correlated these findings with pulmonary function tests (PFTs), presenting complaints, presence of bulbar dysfunction, and
To investigate the differentially expressed proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the proteomics level using tandem mass spectrometry label (TMT) technique and explore the pathogenic mechanism and related pathways of OBJECTIVE
To determine whether transplanting olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) is effective in controlling or reversing the deterioration caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
METHODS
Between February 2003 and April 2006, 327 patients (241 males and 86 females) with probable or definite
OBJECTIVE
This Phase I trial of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) delivered intrathecally for the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was designed to determine the safety of this new mode of administration as well as the pharmacokinetics and drug distribution.
METHODS
CNTF was
Oxidative stress has been associated with motor neuron disease (MND). The human body has several antioxidant defense systems to repair the damage caused by oxidative stress. The activity of these systems is thought to be reduced in neurodegenerative diseases, which may increase the level of
Migraine is a common chronic inflammatory neurological disease with the progressive and episodic course. Much evidence have shown a role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of migraine. Omega-3 fatty acids are an important components of cell membranes phospholipids. The intake of these fatty acids
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the serum creatinine (SCr) level in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) and to explore the relationship between the SCr level and the clinical characteristics.
METHODS
A total of 80 patients with sALS, 80 patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like syndrome refers to a group of conditions whose outcome is similar to that of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but with different characteristics in the initial phase and response to therapy. The involvement of an earlier age group, the subacute course, and the
BACKGROUND
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is terminal, progressive neurological condition for which there are no curative treatments. Among people with ALS/MND, fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom, which is characterised by reversible motor
Animal experiments have confirmed that mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit motor neuron apoptosis and inflammatory factor expression and increase neurotrophic factor expression. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to exhibit prospects in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is characterized by the selective death of motor neurons. Stem cells have been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy. The safety of stem cell transplantation into the frontal motor cortex to improve upper motor neuron function is described. Sixty-seven patients
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive untreatable neurodegenerative disorder, leading to the death of the cortical and spinal motoneurons (MNs). Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BM-MSCs) may represent a new approach to slowing down the progression of ALS by
A 44-year-old patient died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after nine years of heavy exposure to cadmium (Cd) in a nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery factory. Two years after starting work he and co-workers had experienced pruritus, loss of smell, nasal congestion, nosebleeds, cough, shortness
