To try to fill some of these knowledge gaps, researchers recruited patients 64 males and 37 females who were diagnosed with ALS in and studied their demographic, clinical, neuropsychological, and genetic characteristics. Using clinical examinations and video recordings of patients, three expert neurologists divided the patients into two groups: 28 patients with Parkinsonian traits the ALS-PK group and 73 without the ALS group.
After following up with the patients, some who were initially in the ALS group developed Parkinsonian symptoms and were reassigned; at the end of the study, the ALS-PK group included 31 individuals, approximately a third of the total population.
For instance, ALS-PK patients tended to have more activity in the right insula — the part of the brain associated with motor control, perception, and empathy, among other things — but these patients also tended to have less brain matter in the region near the premotor cortex, a brain region involved in movement. The study had several limitations. The damage and death of neurons begins to spread throughout the body.
In the later stages, nerve damage will affect areas like breathing and swallowing. There are several different variants of ALS but it generally affects people between the age of 40 and Juvenile onset ALS , however, can start in childhood or typically before the age of 25, although this form of ALS is particularly rare.
There is currently no cure for ALS and much of the treatment is aimed at managing the symptoms and trying to slow down the progression of the disease. Ultimately the disease will be fatal and once bodily functions such as swallowing and breathing are affected, the prognosis is very poor.
Typically, around half of those diagnosed with ALS will die within the first three years following their diagnosis. As with ALS, there is currently no cure but there are a wide range of different medications and treatments that are available. No matter; we all deserve pristine audio at an unbelievable price.
