Never take the ability to control body and limb movement for granted, because everything can change in the blink of an eye. The only people that know this have suffered from a debilitating disease. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS, is a very deadly disease that may be currently affecting 30,000 Americans by damaging motor control in the body. Lou Gehrig was an American legend. Very few baseball players were as good as he was, and even fewer were as humble. He believed in working hard and…

preliminary data for TARA that shows the technique is sufficiently sensitive to detect 0.005 fmoles of synthetic RNA template by eye and/or a smartphone scanner using transfer reaction molecular amplification and GNP signal amplification alone on a lateral flow strip (See Figure 3). Moreover, there was no background signal from no template control (non-templated transfer, Figure 3A) or a single base mismatch RNA template (Figure 3C). The reaction conditions are 150 nM A probe, 100 nM G probe…

family member slowly die is one of the toughest experiences someone could go through. I had to do this when I was in my early teens with someone who I admired greatly and held a large place in my heart, my father. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS and Lou Gehrig 's disease, and I watched for almost two years as he lost the ability to use his right hand, then both of his legs, right up to the point where he couldn’t speak to us and he had to blink once for yes…

ALS/CTE: The Solution is much simpler than what you think. Over recent years, ALS and CTE have been treated as casual tends and or just like a common cold such as the Ice Bucket Challenge or even playing through the injury. However, they are more serious than anticipated and they have to be promoted more to the public. ALS and CTEs have resulted in permanent injuries and even deaths due to continuous head to head collisions in our sport such as…

many types of progressive diseases that do not currently have a known cure. These can be devastating to the patient, family members, friends, and everyone they come in contact with. Three of the most well-known progressive diseases are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neurological disease that causes nerves to decompose and cause disability. The beginning signs of ALS are often muscle twitching or slurred…

ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive disorder that is inherited or acquired. It affects motor neurons. Motor neurons are cells that are in the brain, brain stem and spinal cord and their function is to carry an electrical signal to a muscle and trigger it to contract or relax. Medical terminology, a means without, my is muscle and trophic is nourishment. Lateral is pertaining to the side/direction that is affected and sclerosis is an abnormal condition of hardening. It was…

Many people have heard of, or participated in, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge but many people fail to realize what ALS is. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a motor neuron disease that causes degeneration of neurons that control voluntary muscles. ALS is not a single disease, but a clinical diagnosis for many different pathophysiologic diseases that share a common factor of progressive loss of motor neurons and break down of the motor neuron system. ALS is known by…

In the chapter the third Tuesday we talked about regrets of the story Tuesday with Morrie written by Mitch Albom, The theme is don't regret things that you can't change. The book states, “I want to remember what we talked about, I told morrie. I want to have your voice so I can listen to it... later. “When i'm dead.” dont say that” (albom 18). Death is going to happen and we can't stop it, we have memories, pictures and videos but we can't reverse death. It's going to come no matter what and all…

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more formally known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease, causing the selective degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons, as well as those in the motor cortex portion of the brain, which ultimately leads to the limited to complete loss of all voluntary muscle function. Now while the main pathology of ALS is the selective death of the previously mentioned motor neurons, more recent studies have suggested that the homeostatic…

The Incident Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. This disease causes the brain to lose control of muscle movement and eventually leads to paralysis and death ("What Is ALS?," n.d.). College baseball player Pete Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS in March of 2012, came up with a way of spreading awareness of the disease (Gallo 2014). The challenge…
