United States: May (annually) [2] Years active. Canada: 34. United States: 32. Inaugurated. Canada: 1990 [3] United States: 1992 [2] ALS Awareness Month is a campaign to spread awareness of and raise funds for research for a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig ’s Disease).
There are more than 25 genes known to be associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as of June 2018, [1] which collectively account for about 70% of cases of familial ALS (fALS) and 10% of cases of sporadic ALS (sALS). [2] About 5–10% of cases of ALS are directly inherited. [3] Overall, first-degree relatives of an individual with ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease in the United States, is a rare, terminal neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction. [3] ALS is the most common form of the motor ...

Advanced life support. An advanced life support paramedic unit of Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue used for EMS in Palm Beach County, Florida. Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a set of life saving protocols and skills that extend basic life support to further support the circulation and provide an open airway and adequate ventilation (breathing).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that typically affects adults around 54–67 [1] years of age, although anyone can be diagnosed with the disease. People diagnosed with ALS live on average 2–4 years after diagnosis due to the quick progression of the disease.
The most studied model for ALS is the rodent, mouse model, which provide the most complex representation of nervous system that is considered the closest in mimicking human nervous system. [ 4] In this model, the phenotype, and genotype characteristics can be studied and controlled.
