Mitochondriopathy in Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The causes of the selective neurodegeneration in Parkinson disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are unknown and commonalities among these and other age-related neurodegenerative diseases continue to be sought. Morphologic, biochemical, molecular genetic, and cell/animal model studies suggest that mitochondria might be a convergence point for neurodegeneration. The functions and ...
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 کاملSporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
This article briefly describes the already known clinical features and pathogenic mechanisms underlying sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, namely excitoxicity, oxidative stress, protein damage, inflammation, genetic abnormalities and neuronal death. Thereafter, it puts forward the hypothesis that astrocytes may be the cells which serve as targets for the harmful action of a still unknown e...
متن کاملBiochemical markers of disease progression in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The main aim of our study was monitoring of indices of anti-oxidant activity in SALS patients. 28 patients (13 males, 15 females; mean age 58.5±12, 3 years; mean duration 25.9±5, 5 months) were monitored during 6 months. Every month the patients were examined neurologically, ALS functional rating scale, the pulmonary dysfunction by measurement of FVC, evaluated functional disability. The indice...
متن کاملSporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A clinical analysis
Objective. To illustrate that sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may be caused by ischemia in the intraparenchymal territory of the anterior spinal artery (ASA) and/or anterior-ventral spinal arteries (AVSAs). Case report. A 56-year-old woman presented clinical data of spinal and bulbar forms of ALS. Previously she was attended in several neurological centers. Results. In 2002 the pat...
