Mantle cell lymphoma with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (motor neuron disease)
We describe a previously unreported case of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) associated to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a 63-year-old woman with a 1-year history of weakness of arm and leg muscles. The both molecular-genetic and flow cytometry analysis of lymphocytes of peripheral blood (PB) demonstrated leukemic phase of MCL.
متن کاملRiluzole for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/motor neuron disease (MND).
BACKGROUND Riluzole 100 mg probably prolongs survival in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by about two months and the safety of the drug is not a major concern. The evidence from randomized controlled trials indicates that patients taking riluzole probably survive longer than patients taking placebo. The beneficial effects are very modest and the drug is expensive. Adverse effects fr...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease.
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Neuromuscular respiratory failure is the commonest cause of death, usually within two to five years of the disease onset. Supporting respiratory function with mechanical ventilation may improve survival and quality of life. This is the first update of a review first published in 2...
متن کاملCell-based therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease.
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is also known as motor neuron disease (MND) is a fatal disease associated with rapidly progressive disability, for which no definitive treatment as yet exists. Current treatment regimens largely focus on relieving symptoms to improve the quality of life of those affected. Based on data from preclinical studies, cell-based therapy is a promis...
متن کاملMotor neuron disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) arising from longstanding primary lateral sclerosis.
Three men were initially diagnosed as having primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), but eventually developed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after 7.5, 9, and at least 27 years. Non-familial ALS and PLS might be different manifestations of a single disease or constitute completely distinct entities. The clinical diagnosis of PLS predicts a median survival that is four to five times longer than in...
