Abstract:
:This longitudinal study of 194 patients with sporadic ALS demonstrated that it is possible for physicians to predict the approximate survival time for an individual ALS patient given: (1) the age of the patient, (2) the duration of his weakness and (3) an estimate of his clinical disability (ALS Score). This information is of value in the clinical management of ALS patients, and it should facilitate construction of experimental therapeutic trials in ALS.

MUSCLE & NERVE文献大全abstract:INTRODUCTION:Sarcopenia likely comprises muscle fiber denervation and re-innervation, resulting in clustering of muscle fibers of the same type (classified by myosin heavy chain isoform composition). Development of methodology to quantitatively evaluate clustering of muscle fibers according to fiber type is necessary. ...
