😭 Famous People Who Died From ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has taken the lives of numerous notable figures. Baseball legend Lou Gehrig, for whom the disease is commonly named, passed away from ALS, leaving a lasting legacy. Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking defied the odds for over 50 years, continuing his groundbreaking work while living with the disease. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, and someone passes away from it. Most cases occur between 40 and 70, though it can also strike people in their twenties and thirties. For unknown reasons, military veterans are more likely to be diagnosed with the disease than the general public.

Lou Gehrig's 14 Amazing Years - Decades TV Network
He got his break when long-time Yankees first baseman Wally Pipp had a headache and decided to take a seat and “let the kid play.” The “kid” was Lou Gehrig. After Gehrig stepped onto the field on June 2, 1925, he wouldn’t miss a game for the next 14 years. It was the start of a consecutive game streak that would earn him an impressive record: seven seasons with 150 or more RBI’s, eight seasons with 200 or more hits and five seasons with more than 40 home runs. The World Series champion’s streak ended May 2, 1939 when he asked to be taken out of the lineup.

He got his break when long-time Yankees first baseman Wally Pipp had a headache and decided to take a seat and “let the kid play.” The “kid” was Lou Gehrig. After Gehrig stepped onto the field on June 2, 1925, he wouldn’t miss a game for the next 14 years. It was the start of a consecutive game streak that would earn him an impressive record: seven seasons with 150 or more RBI’s, eight seasons with 200 or more hits and five seasons with more than 40 home runs.

2-Minute Neuroscience: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of motor function. ALS affects upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons. As these motor neurons stop working, muscles also begin to atrophy; this can eventually lead to respiratory failure, which is often the cause of death in ALS patients. The pathophysiology of ALS is not completely understood, but similar to other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease it is characterized by clusters of dysfunctional proteins within neurons. In this video, I discuss ALS symptoms and pathophysiology.

Diagnosing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS
In this video, from our Neurology Masterclass: Managing Common Diseases course, we review amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a relentless progressive disorder involving degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord, brainstem, and corticospinal tracts. There are no definitive biomarkers or imaging findings for ALS. However extensive blood work and imaging should still be performed to rule out other differential diagnoses.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Etiology, Pathology, Clinical maifestations, Diagnosis and Treatment
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that usually initiates after age 55 years.
ALS causes upper and lower motor neuron loss.
ALS is usually a sporadic disease, but 10% of cases are familial. The most well-known cause of familial ALS is the genetic mutation in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), although other more recently discovered genetic mutations, especially C9ORF72, represent a much more common cause.
Loss of neurons occurs in the motor cortex or the anterior horn cells. Reactive gliosis is a side effect of neuron loss.

Race to a cure for ALS
Brian Wallach has already beaten the odds. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – and given just six months to live. He's used that time to lobby for more research funds for dozens of clinical trials of promising drugs to combat the disease. Correspondent Lee Cowan talks with Wallach and his wife, Sandra Abrevaya, about their organization, I Am ALS, and their unceasing efforts to expand treatments for ALS patients; and with Chris Snow, whose use of a promising experimental ALS treatment has already more than doubled his life expectancy.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of motor function. ALS affects upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons. As these motor neurons stop working, muscles also begin to atrophy; this can eventually lead to respiratory failure, which is often the cause of death in ALS patients. The pathophysiology of ALS is not completely understood, but similar to other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease it is characterized by clusters of dysfunctional proteins within neurons. In this video, I discuss ALS symptoms and pathophysiology.
TRANSCRIPT:
Welcome to 2 minute neuroscience, where I simplistically explain neuroscience topics in 2 minutes or less. In this installment I will discuss amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in the US and motor neuron disease in the UK, ALS is characterized both by muscle spasticity and a progressive weakening of the muscles. As the disease progresses, patients may lose hand and arm function, and experience difficulty walking, speaking, and even breathing. Respiratory failure is often the cause of death, and the average survival time from diagnosis is around 3-5 years.
Although some cases of ALS are inherited, in the vast majority of cases the cause of ALS is unknown. ALS is a neurodegenerative disorder, meaning it is characterized by the degeneration and death of neurons. Specifically, the affected neurons in ALS are called upper and lower motor neurons. Upper motor neurons extend from the cerebral cortex or brainstem and carry motor information down to the spinal cord. Lower motor neurons extend from the spinal cord or brainstem to skeletal muscle to cause movement. Degeneration of upper motor neurons often is responsible for spasticity and modest weakness, but degeneration of lower motor neurons causes more disabling weakness. As the motor neurons stop working, muscles also begin to atrophy.
Mutations in several genes have been linked to the development of ALS, but the effects of the mutations are not completely clear and the mechanism that causes neurodegeneration in ALS is still not understood. Similar to other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, ALS is characterized by the accumulation of dysfunctional proteins within neurons. Although the impact of these protein groups or aggregates is unclear, it is hypothesized that they could impair neuronal function. There also are a number of other mechanisms proposed to play a role in neurodegeneration in ALS and it is likely more than one is involved.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Etiology, Pathology, Clinical maifestations, Diagnosis and Treatment
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that usually initiates after age 55 years.
ALS causes upper and lower motor neuron loss.
ALS is usually a sporadic disease, but 10% of cases are familial. The most well-known cause of familial ALS is the genetic mutation in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), although other more recently discovered genetic mutations, especially C9ORF72, represent a much more common cause.
Loss of neurons occurs in the motor cortex or the anterior horn cells. Reactive gliosis is a side effect of neuron loss.
Bunina bodies are eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions that occur in lower motor neurons that are not lost in ALS. Bunina bodies are pathognomonic for ALS.
Nucleus ambiguus and hypoglossal nuclei are two brainstem nuclei that can be affected, leading to significant dysarthria and dysphagia.
At initial presentation, only upper or lower motor neuron signs may be present, but the disease will progress to involve both upper and lower motor neurons.
Patients present with weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyporeflexia, and hyperreflexia, with the possibility of each muscle having different symptoms.
It is important to differentiate ALS from progressive muscle atrophy and primary lateral sclerosis.
Prognosis for a patient with ALS is a life expectancy of 3-5 years.
Riluzole and edaravone are two approved treatments for ALS. However, these treatments do not cure ALS.

Brian Wallach has already beaten the odds. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – and given just six months to live. He's used that time to lobby for more research funds for dozens of clinical trials of promising drugs to combat the disease. Correspondent Lee Cowan talks with Wallach and his wife, Sandra Abrevaya, about their organization, I Am ALS, and their unceasing efforts to expand treatments for ALS patients; and with Chris Snow, whose use of a promising experimental ALS treatment has already more than doubled his life expectancy.
