Personalized Precision Immunotherapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Critical Reviews in Immunology, 2023
Neurological syndrome amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects motor neurons and is characterized by progressive motor neuron loss in the brain and spinal cord. ALS starts with mainly focal onset but when the disease progresses, it spreads to different parts of the body, with survival limits of 2-5 years after disease initiation.

Psychiatric Aspects of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Current Psychiatry Reports, 2010
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disorder characterized by degeneration of motor neurons. Given the severe nature of ALS, many believed that patients would suffer from a high level of depression and a low quality of life. However, research into the psychological health of patients with ALS has shown that this is not the case.

Emotional adjustment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Journal of Neurology, 2011
Despite the devastating motor impairment, a significant number of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) maintain a good psychosocial adjustment. Here we investigated whether this is specific for ALS or a more general characteristic of terminal disease.

Coffee and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor neurons. The effective treatments for ALS remain elusive, necessitating exploration into novel preventive strategies. ALS pathogenesis is triggered by oxidative stress which results in neuroinflammation, exicitotoxicity and ...

Psychological Function in Individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Psychosomatic Medicine, 1970
Ten patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were evaluated through psychiatric interviews and psychological tests. A pattern of active mastery and habitual exclusion of affect from awareness emerged from the premorbid histories of these patients.

Psychodynamic Aspects in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

1987
The paper by Rabin et al.[l] of the Vanderbilt School of Medicine (Nashville) in which he relates his own experience as an ALS patient is more effective than any review of the literature in understanding the psychological impact of this disease. Before introducing our psychodynamic approach to the psychological problems of this ‘incurable’ illness, we ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD).

Archives italiennes de biologie, 2011
There is increasing clinical, imaging and neurophatological evidence that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents a multisystem neurodegenerative disease. Neurodegeneration is not restricted to motor neurons, but also includes parts of the brain other than the motor cortex, especially the prefrontal and/or anterior temporal lobe, that contribute

Tele-treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 2006
Management of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mainly consists of (psycho) social support and advice on activities of daily living. We evaluated the effects of tele-treatment in addition to the conventional method of care in four patients with ALS.

A predictive model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2012
The clinical diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) usually takes several months. The delay in diagnosis compromises the effective therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the present study was aimed to develop a statistical model for predicting the risk of ALS at earlier stages for better management of ALS patients.The study recruited 44 ...
