apnea and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

apnea has been researched along with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 7 studies

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A degenerative disorder affecting upper MOTOR NEURONS in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and SPINAL CORD. Disease onset is usually after the age of 50 and the process is usually fatal within 3 to 6 years. Clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, atrophy, FASCICULATION, hyperreflexia, DYSARTHRIA, dysphagia, and eventual paralysis of respiratory function. Pathologic features include the replacement of motor neurons with fibrous ASTROCYTES and atrophy of anterior SPINAL NERVE ROOTS and corticospinal tracts. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1089-94)

" Although according to the literature this treatment can be made safer by cautiously increasing the dosage and injecting the parotid glands first, BTX should not be the first-line treatment of sialorrhoea in ALS; comparative studies of BTX, amitryptiline, scopolamine, and radiation should be performed first."2.44Acute deterioration of bulbar function after botulinum toxin treatment for sialorrhoea in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
