1. Quality of life, disability, and clinical variables in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
RESUMO Antecedentes: Esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA) é uma doença do neurônio motor que resulta em um aumento progressivo das disfunções, limitações e restrições ao longo do tempo, o que pode afetar a qualidade de vida (QV). Ampliar o conhecimento sobre QV e os possíveis fatores associados permitirá o desenvolvimento de ações que garantam

2. Action of hormonal therapy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review
SUMMARY Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease characterized by muscle weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and decreased reflexes due to upper and lower motor neurons death. It can be present in both sexes (55-65 years), but with predominance in males. However, in female patients, ALS presents its first symptoms when they are already postmenop

3. Brazilian Nursing and Psychology students' visits to patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: prospective analysis
RESUMO Esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA) é doença neurodegenerativa sem cura, mas tratamento multidisciplinar pode manter qualidade de vida (QOL). Embora profissionais de saúde possam ser afetados pela atuação na ELA, pouco é conhecido sobre impacto nesses profissionais. Objetivo: Analisar efeitos da interação entre pessoas com ELA e estudantes d

6. Alterations in the stomatognathic system due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Abstract Objectives: To compare the molar bite force, electromyographic activity, chewing efficiency and thickness of the masseter and temporalis muscles in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Thirty individuals enrolled in the study were divided into the study group (with ALS, n=15) and contr

7. Role of non-coding RNAs in non-aging-related neurological disorders
Protein coding sequences represent only 2% of the human genome. Recent advances have demonstrated that a significant portion of the genome is actively transcribed as non-coding RNA molecules. These non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in the regulation of biological processes, and act as "fine-tuners" of gene expression. Neurological disorders are cau

8. Usefulness of diffusion tensor imaging in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: potential biomarker and association with the cognitive profile
ABSTRACT The objective of this preliminary study was to correlate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) alterations with the cognitive profile of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods This was a case-control study conducted from December 1, 2012 to December 1, 2014. Clinical and demographic data were recorded. A neuropsychological test batter

9. Effects of non-invasive ventilation and posture on chest wall volumes and motion in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case series
ABSTRACT Background The effects of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on the breathing pattern and thoracoabdominal motion of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are unknown. Objectives 1) To analyze the influence of NIV on chest wall volumes and motion assessed by optoelectronic plethysmography in ALS patients and 2) to compare these parameters

10. Mutations in the HFE gene and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis risk: a meta-analysis of observational studies
Iron homeostasis dysregulation has been regarded as an important mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases. The H63D and C282Y polymorphisms in theHFE gene may be involved in the development of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through the disruption of iron homeostasis. However, studies investigating the relationship between ALS and these two polym

11. Quantificação da lesão neuronal e mielínica na Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica através da ressonância magnética / Quantification of myelin and neuronal damage in ALS using magnetic resonance imaging.
Introdução: A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA) é uma doença degenerativa e progressiva que afeta neurônios motores da medula espinhal, tronco cerebral e/ ou córtex motor. Sua manifestação clínica é bastante variada, sua etiologia desconhecida e a progressão, fatal. Não existe ainda um tratamento curativo para a ELA, porém alguns medicamentos

12. Análise da cinemática dos compartimentos da parede torácica nas posições supino e sentada de pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrófica
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by deterioration of upper and lower motor neurons. The main components, which alter the respiratory muscles are the inspiratory, expiratory, and bulbar, leading to chronic respiratory failure. One way to improve gas exchange of these individuals is by employing non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Therefore, th
