Abstract:

Although the basic gross and microscopic pathological changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have been known for more than 100 years, emerging technology and research into the cellular and molecular changes found in this disease are challenging our understanding about the pathogenesis and pathophysiology. All cell types of the CNS/PNS as well as circulating immune cells have been implicated in the pathology of ALS. Numerous genes, their proteins, and environmental factors have also been associated. However, we still do not understand the specific gene-environmental interactions that bring about and drive this devastating disease in most cases. This short chapter does not address the causal factors and molecular pathogeneses that have been hypothesized and actively researched in the pathology of ALS-as these are discussed in other sections of this text. Here, it shows and discusses the basic pathological changes at the tissue and cellular levels that help to establish the pathological diagnosis of ALS at autopsy.

Abstract:

Mouse and cellular models of ALS including stem cells have revealed tremendous insight into the molecular processes that lead to ALS. Models of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases have led to emergent molecular themes that span several diseases. Future models must account for neuronal subtype specificity of different neurodegenerative diseases, particularly between tightly related diseases such as FTD and ALS. Human iPSC-derived motor neurons offer promise both with regard to the use of human cells and in particular the ability to model sporadic disease, which is critically important given the overwhelming abundance of sporadic disease in ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Understanding and optimizing quality of life and psychological well-being presents a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the enhancement of the lives of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their caregivers. ALS is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder. No current medical therapy can reverse or stop its progression, and the promotion of quality of life and psychological well-being is a central component of ALS care. Health care professionals who work in this field should incorporate attention to psychological, emotional, and relational aspects of the disease into their approach to care. This book provides some of the knowledge and direction necessary for optimizing the quality of care for individuals with ALS and their caregivers. Topics discussed include an ALS-centred view of quality of life, depressive features, anxiety, resilience, cognitive impairment, complementary and alternative medicines, and psychological research. Specific elements of ALS, such as end-of-life concerns and bulbar dysfunction, are described through the lens of their psychological impact. There is extensive discussion of the development of new psychological treatments, as well as the impact and incorporation of new technologies, with the goal of fostering optimal quality of life and psychological well-being as key parts of a holistic approach to care for the patients and for those who are close to such individuals.

Abstract:

An overriding mystery of ALS pathogenesis orbits around the molecular basis of selective motor neuron vulnerability and clouds our view. There are likely mechanisms involved in the initiation of motor neuron loss and mechanisms involved in the progression of motor neuron loss once initiated. Motor neuron vulnerability is likely related to the unique biological characteristics of these cells. This chapter introduces central molecular pathways that appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of ALS, and highlights why dysregulation of these mechanisms could lead to motor neuron death. Indeed, there are likely mechanisms involved in the initiation of motor neuron loss and mechanisms involved in the progression of motor neuron loss once initiated. Our task is to determine those mechanisms that are relevant to ALS pathogenesis that may be targeted therapeutically to prevent onset and/or halt progression.

Abstract:

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have dramatically expanded the number of genes associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, including rare but highly penetrant causative mutations as well as common risk alleles. This chapter discusses these gene discoveries and how they have implicated a diverse array of biological pathways essential for motor neuron health and have begun to inform our understanding of ALS pathogenesis as a heterogeneous and multistep process. Insights from these discoveries are leading to a new generation of targeted therapies directed at specific genes and are poised to inform how patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are evaluated and treated in the clinic.

Abstract:

The epidemiology of ALS is an emerging field and, like the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease and cancer in the mid last century, requires time for convergence of findings. There appears to be a genetic influence, and one study of twins found that heritability of sporadic ALS is 60%. At present it is thought that 60$ to 70% of genetic mutations responsible for fALS in populations of European ancestry are known. SOD1 mutations were the earliest discoveries in fALS. Subsequently, mutations were identified in TARDBP, which encodes TDP-43 protein found in neuronal inclusions in fALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). High rates of ALS have also been reported in military personnel and in certain groups of elite athletes such as soccer players.

Abstract:

The current state of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) trial design is best understood within the context of ALS research over the past quarter century. Before the early 1990s, trials in ALS were typically small and clinical trial methodology was less rigorous than it is today. With the discovery of the SOD1 gene mutation in the early 1990s, a new era of excitement and innovation for ALS research began. Since then, the number of ALS trials has steadily increased and trial design and methodology has become increasingly sophisticated.

Abstract:

Although ALS remains an incurable disease, there are specific treatments that can significantly improve quality of life and some that can modify survival. Patients are best followed in multidisciplinary ALS clinics where a number of medical experts can address a wide range of symptoms. Additional studies are needed to develop evidenced-based best practice guidelines to further improve care for patients with ALS. Bulbar dysfunction eventually affects the vast majority of ALS patients, and progressive dysphagia results from weakness and spasticity of the muscles involved in swallowing. Dysphagia is associated with increased risk of aspiration and choking, as well as with long-term risk of malnutrition, weight loss, and dehydration. Appropriate measures to enhance caloric intake contribute to a greater sense of well-being. Augmentative communication devices and ventilator support can also be used to reduce suffering.
