The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. When one does not have or cannot access formal education in schools, ALS is an alternate or substitute. The system only requires learners to attend learning sessions based on the agreed ...
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 ...
ALSFRS-R includes 12 questions that can have a score of 0 to 4. A score of 0 on a question would indicate no function while a score of 4 would indicate full function. [4][5] This scale has been useful for doctors in diagnosing patients, measuring disease progression and also for researchers when selecting patients for a study and measuring the ...
Specialty. Neurology. Motor neuron diseases or motor neurone diseases (MNDs) are a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells which control voluntary muscles of the body. [1][2] They include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), [3][4] progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), pseudobulbar palsy, progressive ...

TDP-43 is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. It is recruited to DNA damage sites and interacts with proteins involved in the repair process of non-homologous end joining. [9] FUS, which codes for "Fused in sarcoma" protein, is associated with 1–5% of familial ALS and less than 1% of sporadic ALS. FUS is an RNA-binding protein ...
Brachial amyotrophic diplegia. Brachial amyotrophic diplegia, also called Vulpian-Bernhardt Syndrome (VBS), flail arm syndrome, or man-in-barrel syndrome, is a rare motor neuron disease, often considered to be a phenotype or regional variant of amyotrophic lateral sclerose. [1] In the first twelve to eighteen months, only a progressive weakness ...
Website. als.net. The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is a non-profit biotechnology research organization focused on finding treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). With a staff including more than 30 scientists, it operates a research and development program centered on ALS. [1][2]
