Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis: from disease mechanisms to therapies.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease is the most common motor neuron disease in human adults, described as early as 1869 by a French neurobiologist and physician, Jean-Martin Charcot. Although advances in genetics have accelerated the pace of ALS research in the past decade, there is currently only one FDA-approved compound (Riluzole) to treat the disease, a compound that...
متن کاملRespiratory therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a primer.
Respiratory complications are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Treatment of respiratory insufficiency with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) improves ALS patients' quality of life and survival. Evidence-based practice guidelines for the management of ALS patients recommend treatment of respiratory insufficiency with NIV as well as consideration of in...
