    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is caused by progressive loss of motor nerves in the spinal cord and brain. In about 10% of cases, ALS is caused by a genetic defect. In other cases, the cause of the nerve deterioration is unknown. ALS affects approximately 1 out of 100,000 people. Except for having a family member affected with the hereditary form of the disease, there are no known risk factors.

    http://www.umm.edu/nervous/als.htm
    
    Extractions: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. Often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease" (a famous baseball player who died from the disease), it is one of the most devastating of the disorders that affects the function of nerves and muscles. ALS does not affect mental functioning or the senses (such as seeing or hearing), and it is not contagious. Currently, there is no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Statistics of ALS Consider the following statistics regarding ALS: Most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 70, although the disease can occur at a younger age. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. ALS affects as many as 20,000 Americans, with 5,000 new cases diagnosed in the US each year.

The following sites offer useful information about ALS. The ALS Association The website of this nonprofit organization provides information about ALS, news, resources, services, and research information. Most of the association's publications are not online, but may be ordered at no charge by persons with ALS. This section of the "Doctor's Guide" provides links to medical news and alerts, drug information, discussion groups and newsgroups, and more. ALS Survival Guide The Survival Guide is a very extensive personal website by an individual with ALS. The site is well designed and packed with information and links. Topics include ALS news, causes of ALS, statistics, treatments, adaptive equipment, legal/financial, advocacy, ALS Digest, support group, research abstracts, resources, and much more. As always, we recommend viewing medical and legal information on personal websites with caution.

    Extractions: AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS ALS is one of the least understood, least treatable and most invariably fatal diseases in neurology. Lou Gehrig (1903-1941) The "Iron Horse" played continuously for the Yankees from 6/1/25 to 4/30/39, 2130 games, .340 average. Some studies have found an association between exceptional athleticism (lifetime sweating*, actually) and ALS. Also called Lou Gehrig's Disease, the neurologist who diagnosed it in the famous baseball player patiently watched the athlete's back for twenty minutes, noted the fasciculations which vary so much from muscle to muscle and moment to moment. Gehrig died two years after diagnosis. From the SF Chronicle, February 7 1987 Three football players all on the same 1964 49er's team, subsequently developed ALS. The recent news of Catfish Hunter's diagnosis underscores the fact that otherwise vigorous healthy men, especially atheltic men in their prime, seem to be the most vulnerable. The Chronicle article underscores the yearning to understand the disease and the association with toxins Fasciculations may be subtle or severe to the point of "vermiculation" giving a "bag of worms" appearance, for example, the infamous "scrotal tongue" when the motor neurons of the 12th Cranial Nerve in the brainstem are affected.

It is also known as motor neuron disease and Lou Gehrig's disease, after the baseball player whose career it ended. Description ALS is a disease of the motor neurons, those nerve cells reaching from the brain to the spinal cord (upper motor neurons) and the spinal cord to the peripheral nerves (lower motor neurons) that control muscle movement. In ALS, for unknown reasons, these neurons die, leading to a progressive loss of the ability to move virtually any of the muscles in the body. ALS affects "voluntary" muscles, those controlled by conscious thought, such as the arm, leg, and trunk muscles. ALS, in and of itself, does not affect sensation, thought processes, the heart muscle, or the "smooth" muscle of the digestive system, bladder, and other internal organs. Most people with ALS retain function of their eye muscles as well. However, various forms of ALS may be associated with a loss of intellectual function ( dementia ) or sensory symptoms.

    Extractions: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is caused by the degeneration and death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. These neurons convey electrical messages from the brain to the muscles to stimulate movement in the arms, legs, trunk, neck, and head. As motor neurons degenerate, the muscles are weakened and cannot move as effectively, leading to muscle wasting. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.)

Medical Services Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Symptoms Diagnosis Prevention ... Medical Services (Synonyms: ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) causes degeneration, or breakdown, of the nerves in certain regions of the brain and spinal cord that control a person's voluntary muscles. Eventually, the disease paralyzes the limbs and the muscles used to breathe and swallow. Most people die within three to five years from the onset of symptoms. Although there is no cure for ALS, advances in medical care can improve the affected person's quality of life and ability to function, and may help the person live longer. Mayo Clinic offers state-of-the-art care for ALS and is involved in leading-edge research to identify causes and new treatments for the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical. It is important to rule out other neurological conditions that have signs and symptoms similar to ALS. Each year, about 5,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with ALS and about 20,000 Americans have the disease. ALS occurs in two forms:

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background and Methods Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease that causes gradual paralysis, respiratory failure, and death, usually within three to five years after it has been diagnosed. Between 1995 and 1997, we surveyed patients with this disease in Oregon and Washington, as well as their family care givers, in order to determine their attitudes toward assisted suicide. Patients were considered to be willing to contemplate assisted suicide if they agreed with the statement, "Under some circumstances I would consider taking a prescription for a medicine whose sole purpose was to end my life," and disagreed

ALS is also called Lou Gehrig's disease, after a well-known baseball player who died of ALS. It is rare. About 1 new case per 100,000 people is diagnosed each year. Symptoms most often appear in people who are between 40 and 70 years old. The symptoms worsen more rapidly in some people than in others, eventually leading to death. How does it occur?
