    1.Onset of symptoms: In the early stages of the disease, you may not be able to hold chopsticks in your hands, or you may fall when you walk for no reason; Some begin with a hoarse voice without any obvious symptoms.

    Neuromuscular physicians should do the necessary tests such as electromyography, nerve conduction velocity, and magnetic resonance imaging to confirm the diagnosis.

    2.Difficult period at work: Obvious limb weakness or even atrophy, life can still take care of themselves, but obstacles have appeared in the workplace.

    At this time, it is necessary to take moderate rest to avoid aggravation of the disease. Necessary rehabilitation is provided by a rehabilitation physician and a social worker assists in psychological adjustment and social resources.

    3.Difficult life: In the middle stage of the disease, the hands or feet, or the hands and feet have serious impairment at the same time, and they are unable to take care of themselves, and may not be able to walk, dress, hold chopsticks, and slurred speech.

    4.Dysphagia stage: In the middle and late stages, the limbs are almost completely weak, the speech is severely impaired, it is easy to choke when eating, and some need to be fed, otherwise it is easy to lead to aspiration pneumonia.

    5.Dyspnea: Respiratory muscles have been affected, breathing is difficult, patients may be bedridden, need to use a respirator, some will be admitted to a respiratory center** or choose home care, and some will be served by a hospice team. If you meet the above symptoms, you have ALS.

    Relating to heredity and genetic defects. In addition, some environmental factors, such as heavy metal aluminum poisoning, may cause motor neuron damage. The main theories of the causes of motor neuron damage are:

    1.Neurotoxic substances accumulate and glutamate accumulates between nerve cells, causing damage to nerve cells over time.

    2.Free radicals damage nerve cell membranes.

    3.Nerve growth factor deficiency prevents nerve cells from growing and developing sustainably.

    Early symptoms are mild and can be easily confused with other diseases. Patients may only feel some symptoms such as weakness, flesh jumping, and fatigue easily, and gradually progress to generalized muscle atrophy and difficulty swallowing. Respiratory failure develops.

    According to the clinical symptoms, it can be roughly divided into two types:

    1.Limb-onset type.

    Symptoms begin with progressive atrophy and weakness of the muscles in the limbs, and finally respiratory failure.

    2.Bulbar onset.

    Difficulty swallowing and speaking begins with early progression, and respiratory failure soon progresses.

    Hello, the only risk factors that determine DU are age and family history, and the disease has a distinct retrospective genetic trait, following a common chromosomal dominant inheritance pattern. There is growing evidence that smoking is also a risk factor for the disease, as are people who participate in military service, agricultural work, factory work, heavy physical labor, exposure to pesticides, welding, heavy metals, plastics industry work, repetitive muscle use, professional football, trauma, and electrical injuries. People who are exposed to mercury, lead and aluminum from heavy metals have a relatively high incidence of the disease.

    The above content is for reference.

    Anyone can suffer from ALS, and ALS is a motor nerve.

    A type of meta-disease. Motor neuron disease is mainly divided into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, gyrus.

    There are four major categories of progressive spinal muscular atrophy, primary lateral sclerosis, and progressive bulbar palsy. In 20% of cases, it may be related to heredity or genetic defects. In addition, some environmental factors, such as genetics, heavy metal poisoning, etc., may cause motor neuron damage, and it is difficult to have a clear explanation.

    Early patients should keep exercising to prevent injuries and maintain an appropriate amount of activity!

    ALS is one of the relatively rare diseases, and the symptoms of ALS may begin as the inability to hold chopsticks in the hand, or fall for no reason while walking, and some may start with a hoarse voice without any obvious symptoms. In this case, a neurologist must do the necessary tests such as electromyography, nerve conduction velocity, and MRI to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, there is no effective plan for ALS, so we can only actively cooperate with doctors to prevent it.

    ALS is also known as sclerosis of the amyotrophic lateral cords. It's still unclear. In some cases, it may be due to a genetic defect.

    In addition, some patients may be caused by environmental reasons, such as poisoning by heavy metals, which will cause damage to the corresponding parts of the motor neurons. There are two reasons for the damage: 1. Toxic substances, a lot of glutamate accumulates between nerve cells, and nerve cells will be damaged.

    2. If there is a lack of corresponding nerve growth factors, then nerve cells cannot grow and develop.

    ALS refers to the gradual atrophy of some organs of the body, there is no clear statement in the world, the reason is not clear, the disease is not possible, it is considered to be caused by the damage of upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron, resulting in gradual atrophy of various parts of the body, generally starting from the eyes, gradually from the upper limbs to the lower limbs.

    There is some kind of immunodeficiency and motor neuron injury patients due to low autoimmune function, or, once the course of cold is prolonged, the disease is aggravated, the muscle beat is aggravated, and the muscle atrophy is weak, especially the bulbar palsy patients are prone to pulmonary infection, if not prevented and treated in time, the prognosis is poor, and even endangered the patient's life.

    I am used to seeing cold and warm, and I have seen all kinds of people and things. There's nothing left to excite me. But I just read a **, which is about a young man who has suffered from ALS for 10 years, wrote two books, and donated nearly 400,000 yuan to the children's ** association, and I was moved to cry.

    He is a college student who has only one person admitted to the recruitment of 2,000 people in Beijing, and that is him. He found a stable job in Beijing and settled in Beijing, which is something that the whole family and the whole village are proud of.

    When he returned home after a year of work, he put his ID card in front of his parents and proudly said that I was from Beijing.

    Maybe it was joy and sadness, and soon he suffered from this disease, at first he ate slowly and his hands were slow, and slowly he couldn't speak, and his limbs couldn't move.

    Father took him in Beijing, first in Chaoyang Hospital and other examinations, determined the disease, but I can't believe it, and I don't give up, and finally my father took him to Renhe Hospital for an examination, after the examination, the old professor in the hospital didn't speak for a long time, and then under the father's eager inquiry, when the old professor said to the father, when he returned home, he wanted to eat whatever he wanted. The father turned around and came out, but he was sweating and breathing, and when the son saw his father's appearance, he took his father with his hand, which was still moving, to comfort him.

    He couldn't move his whole body, so his father bought him an eye instrument and let him write. Father heard that Hawking used this thing to fight against fate tenaciously.

    He also wrote two books using this instrument.

    He lived strong when the doctor pronounced death for him, and no one expected that he had persisted in fighting the disease for 10 years. And wrote about the value of life.

    ALS** is currently unknown. The pathogenesis includes familial pathogenesis, genetic mechanisms, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, neurotrophic factor disorders, autoimmune mechanisms, viral infections, and environmental factors.

    ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a motor neuron disease. **Unclear, 5 out of 10 patients are familial. The disease mostly appears in 35-45 years old.

    The earliest symptoms are weakness and atrophy of one finger, and sometimes the patient feels the finger muscles throbbing. Approximately 20 patients present with progressive bulbar palsy, with slurred arthria, dysphagia, tongue muscle atrophy, and fibrillation.

    It is recommended to avoid the above triggers, adjust lifestyle habits, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and work and rest regularly.

    Abstract The incidence of ALS is not very high, between 40 and 60 years old, and it is more likely to develop the disease. This disease affects the patient's motor function, language function. Usually you must maintain a good attitude, the diet is suitable for eating light and easy-to-digest food, fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating some greasy and spicy food.

    There are not many people who get ALS.

    Yes, the state doesn't know about this at the moment.

    Usually there are certain factors between this disease and family inheritance, so can you please tell us what causes this ALS in general?

    A small number of cases are genetic, but the majority of cases** are unknown. At present, the risk factors that may be related to the occurrence of the disease include: genetic factors, lifestyle (such as smoking), toxic exposure (such as exposure to organic solvents, pesticides, heavy metal elements, etc.), occupation (such as excessive manual labor), low body mass index, history of head trauma, metabolic diseases, autoimmune dysfunction, viral infection, and neuroinflammatory reactions.

    Oh, to put it bluntly, this disease is caused by muscle atrophy.

    Yes, this only shows that everyone still needs to exercise more every day.

    Yes, dear, and I want to ask about the fact that adults will be limited in playing games in the future, is this news true?

    There is no news released by Kiss at this time.

    Actually, I personally think it's fake, because you see that e-sports has become a sport, and if adults have restrictions, those e-sports players can't play anymore, so this e-sports competition can't be held, you say, yes, anyway, I personally think it's fake, what do you say?

    I personally think so, too.

    ALS is also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The famous scientist Stephen Hawking suffered from this disease, and Stephen Hawking was one of the few people with ALS who survived for a long time. For amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the early symptoms are often relatively mild, with only some weakness, a feeling of flesh beating or some fatigue symptoms, which gradually progress to some bulbar muscle paralysis such as muscle atrophy of the whole body, difficulty swallowing, choking on drinking water, and finally to respiratory failure and diaphragm weakness, resulting in itching all over the body and death of the patient.

    At present, the diagnosis of ALS is often made gradually through physical examination, neurological examination, and electromyography examination. For ALS, there is no particularly ideal method, often the application of support, that is, appropriate exercise, strengthen exercise, to prevent the progression of the disease, for patients who have respiratory muscle weakness, respiratory muscle paralysis, and even respiratory failure, the application of some ventilator-assisted ventilation, artificial ventilation to maintain the patient's life.

    At present, there is a kind of force called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in international research, which can alleviate the gradual occurrence of ALS. At present, a corresponding gene** has been studied internationally, but it is still in experiments.

    For amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the prognosis of patients is often particularly poor, the mortality rate is particularly high, and there is currently no particularly effective and ideal method to prolong the life of the patient.
