INTRODUCTION Disturbances of eye movements are infrequently encountered in motor neuron diseases (MNDs) or motor neuropathies, and there is no known syndrome that combines progressive muscle weakness with downbeat nystagmus. METHODS To describe the core clinical features of a syndrome of MND associated with downbeat nystagmus, clinical features were collected from 6 patients. RESULTS All pa...
objective in this article, a motor skill disorder called developmental coordination disorder (dcd), that is usually first diagnosed during childhood, is explained and discussed. in the year 1987, dcd was formally recognized as a distinct disorder in children by the american psychiatric association (apa). dcd is a generalized term for the children who have some degrees of impairment in the deve...
To explore the link between bioenergetics and motor neuron degeneration, we used a computational model in which detailed morphology and ion conductance are paired with intracellular ATP production and consumption. We found that reduced ATP availability increases the metabolic cost of a single action potential and disrupts K+/Na+ homeostasis, resulting in a chronic depolarization. The magnitude ...
Kennedy's disease is an X-linked, neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by lower motor neuron syndrome. This report gives the clinical details of six male patients with Kennedy's disease diagnosed at Princess Margaret Hospital. Three were initially diagnosed with other neurological diseases, with the diagnosis of Kennedy's disease made after genetic testing. This hereditary disease should b...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset motor neuron disorder. Although its neuropathology is well understood, the cellular and molecular mechanisms are yet to be elucidated due to limitations in the currently available human genetic data. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from two familial ALS (FALS) patients with a missense mutation in the fused-in ...
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als), the most common form of motor neuron disease, is a progressive and devastating disease involving both lower and upper motor neurons, typically following a relentless progression towards death. therefore, all efforts must be made by the clinician to exclude alternative and more treatable entities. als with laboratory abnormalities of uncertain significance is...
objective we describe three patients with very severe spinal muscular atrophy (sma) presented with reduced fetal movement in utero, profound hypotonia, severe weakness and respiratory insufficiency at birth. in all infants, electrodiagnostic studies were compatible with a neurogenic pattern. in genetic studies, all cases had homozygous deletions of exons 7 and 8 of survival motor neuron (smn) a...
Introducing ALS at present times leads to re-define the concept of motor neuron selectivity which characterizes this disorder. In fact, multiple systems including skin, liver, and bone marrow are altered in ALS patients. The motor neuron is still the focus of the disorder and the extended pathology did not modify the concept of ALS as a devastating disorder based on motor neuron loss. Nonethele...
In the present review a large amount of experimental and clinical studies on ALS are discussed in an effort to dissect common pathogenic mechanisms which may provide novel information and potential therapeutic strategies for motor neuron degeneration.Protein clearing systems play a critical role in motor neuron survival during excitotoxic stress, aging and neurodegenerative disorders. Among var...
