Cerebrovascular injury as a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVE To use an unbiased method to test a previously reported association between cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) embolisation and the subsequent development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS A hospital record linkage database was used to create cohorts of individuals coded as having cerebral and peripheral vessel AVMs, stroke (separately for haemorrhagic and ischa...
متن کاملBrain and Spinal Cord Trauma as a Risk Factor for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Mini-Review
Trauma to the central nervous system (CNS) has been investigated as a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) despite conflicting epidemiological reports. Studies have suggested a link between ALS and traumatic axonal injury which complements the “dying back” theory of ALS. The theory suggests that neuronal dysfunction first occurs at the neuromuscular junction, and subsequent axona...

متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Agricultural Environments: A Systematic Review
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and exposure to rural environments. Studies were identified through OVID MEDLINE and EMBASE search up to September 2013 using as keywords rural residence, farmers, and pesticide exposure. Twenty-two studies were included for this meta-analysis. Summary odds ratios (ORs) were calculated ...
متن کاملThe value of magnetic resonance imaging as a biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects the motor system. A number of potentially neuroprotective and neurorestorative disease-modifying drugs are currently in clinical development. At present, the evaluation of a drug's clinical efficacy in ALS is based on the ALS Functional Rating Scale Revised, motor tests a...
