Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Disease where the brains nerves that control involuntary movement corrode and atrophy your muscles causing them to stop working and die horribly

Page 3: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Parts of the nervous system affected

Death of motor neurons in the motor cortex

Page 4: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Causes

Genetic- gained from your familyIdiopathic- unknown

Page 5: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Treatment

No known curePhysical therapyCan treat with riluzole and baclofen

Page 6: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Pharmacology

Baclofen◦Reduces muscle spasms

Riluzole◦Slows progression

Page 7: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Progression of Disease

Rib cage muscles or throat muscles stop working, no more eating on your own

Loss of movementDeath in 2 to 5 years

◦Silver lining: you keep control of bladder and bowl control

Page 8: ALS: Lou Gherig’s Disease

Expected outcome

Death
