Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multi-factorial and multi-systemic pathology associated with motor neuron degeneration, muscle atrophy and paralysis. Mounting evidence suggests that the earliest presymptomatic functional and pathological changes are occurring distally in axons

In all patients, ALS/MND is caused by the progressive death of motor neurons. However, every patient is affected differently. Some develop symptoms in their 80's while others get sick in adolescence. Swallowing/speech are affected first in some patients, but most have weakness in their hands or feet

Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease with progressive muscle weakness leading to severe disability and eventually death. It is the most common form of motor neuron diseases and involves both the upper and lower motor neurons. The median survival from debut of symptoms

Background 1. In the early 1990s Genervon hypothesized that Central Nervous System / Peripheral Nervous systme (CNS/PNS) and rare motoneuron diseases and disorders involve the interplay of a highly complex, multifactorial process of many non-dominant effectors in an interactive dynamic network.

Alzheimer disease (AD) continues to be the most serious health problem faced by aging persons with Down syndrome. AD is also a major public health concern in the aging general population. With increasing life expectancy there will be a dramatic increase in the prevalence of AD cases, which will pose

Schizophrenia is perhaps one of the most debilitating illnesses. Over the past years there has been limited improvement in the efficacy of the medications used to treat this disorder. In particular, the currently available antipsychotic drugs have small efficacy against negative symptoms and

INTRODUCTION Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied by abdominal pain and in late stages, by exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. The etiology of CP include alcohol abuse, hereditary, ductal obstruction, tropical pancreatitis, systemic diseases

OBJECTIVES: Primary - Evaluate the ability of early chemotherapy to improve overall survival of patients commencing androgen deprivation for metastatic prostate cancer. Secondary - Determine whether early chemotherapy can increase the time to clinical progression (radiographic or symptomatic
