Somatosensory evoked potentials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Forty five patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were investigated, by means of somatosensory evoked potentials, in order to detect the presence of subclinical sensory changes. Cervical SEPs from the median nerve and cortical SEPs from the median and tibial nerve were recorded, showing a delay of N13 and subsequent components; the latency of the first constant cortical potential was also ...
متن کاملComplex genetics of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a common adultonset neurodegenerative disease leading to paralysis and death typically within 2–5 years of diagnosis. Approximately 10% of ALS cases are inherited, with the remainder of cases being sporadic in origin. This distribution of familial and sporadic disease is similar to other adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson disease and...
متن کاملPredicting functional decline and survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
BACKGROUND Better predictors of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease course could enable smaller and more targeted clinical trials. Partially to address this aim, the Prize for Life foundation collected de-identified records from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis sufferers who participated in clinical trials of investigational drugs and made them available to researchers in the PRO-ACT database. ...
متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease
Behçet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. 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 کاملCharacteristics of fasciculations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the benign fasciculation syndrome.
The aim of this study was to determine first, if benign fasciculations and those in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can de distinguished on the basis of their waveforms or firing characteristics, and second to determine how fasciculation parameters evolved with progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Fasciculation potentials recorded from 63 muscles of 28 patients with definite amyotrophic ...
