Epilepsy Awareness
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes repeated seizures over time. It is diagnosed when a person experiences at least two seizures that are not caused by a known medical condition. The frequency of seizures in people with epilepsy varies significantly - from years between seizures to daily occurrences. Epilepsy can affect anyone at any age and around 456,000 people in the UK have the condition. Seizures in epilepsy are caused by disturbances in the electrical activity of the brain, though the underlying cause is often unknown.
Final Project
This document provides an overview of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It defines ALS as a disease that causes the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, preventing communication between the brain and muscles and resulting in muscle weakening and atrophy. The document discusses how ALS affects basic functions like walking, eating, and breathing. It notes that while the cause of ALS is unknown, neurotransmitter imbalances may play a role by overstimulating neurons and eventually killing them. The document also provides statistics on ALS prevalence and life expectancy after diagnosis, as well as profiles of famous individuals like Lou Gehrig and Stephen Hawking who lived with ALS.

Why Design Matters
A major misconception in business is that design should be an afterthought. The (flawed) thinking is that design is not tied to the bottom line, so therefore it should take a back seat to other consideration. We believe the opposite to be true.

Als
This document discusses amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It notes that ALS is a motor neuron disease that affects voluntary muscle movements and leads to loss of mobility. Most patients die within 5 years of diagnosis as there is no known cure. The document explains that ALS causes the motor neurons that control voluntary muscles like walking, talking, swallowing to deteriorate over time. While breathing may seem involuntary, patients may eventually lose control of this function as well. It highlights recent increased scientific understanding of ALS and FDA-approved drugs that can modestly slow progression, as well as clinical trials of other potential treatments.

Neuromuscular diseases by aayupta mohanty
The document discusses several neuromuscular disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy. It provides details on ALS such as its symptoms, causes, risk factors, and complications. ALS causes motor neurons to break down and leads to muscle weakness and atrophy. It typically begins in the hands, feet or limbs and eventually affects movement, speech, swallowing and breathing. While most cases have no known cause, genetic mutations and environmental factors may play a role. Complications include breathing and eating problems as well as potential dementia. Tests like EMGs, MRIs and biopsies can help diagnose ALS and rule out other conditions.
21 June: The Global Day for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ALS is a progressive neurological disease that causes the motor neurons controlling voluntary muscles to break down and die. This results in worsening muscle weakness, atrophy, and spasticity over time. There is no cure for ALS, but symptoms can be treated to prolong survival and quality of life. The cause is largely unknown, though some genetic factors have been identified. Most people live 3-5 years after diagnosis but about 10% of cases are inherited and can have longer survival times. Research continues toward finding effective treatments that target the underlying causes and pathways of the disease.

This document provides information about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It discusses that ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death. Early symptoms can include muscle weakness, twitching, slurred speech, and difficulty breathing. There is no known cure for ALS, but some treatments can help manage symptoms and prolong survival for a few months. Donations can help support research to find an effective treatment for ALS.
ALS (Amytropic Lateral Sclerosis)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a fatal neurological disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and paralysis. The exact causes are unknown but may include genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms start with muscle weakness and progress to include slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and eventually paralysis of the diaphragm leading to respiratory failure. While there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and some medications may slow disease progression. The average life expectancy is 2-5 years from diagnosis but can vary significantly.
Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is caused by plaques and tangles in the brain that damage and kill neurons. It usually occurs in older adults as the brain ages, and can run in families with certain gene mutations that increase risk. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, mood changes, and difficulty communicating. There is no cure, but lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help prevent Alzheimer's or slow its progression. It ultimately results in death, usually due to complications like pneumonia or failure to eat. Alzheimer's has a significant impact on individuals, their families, and society as a whole.
Hospice eligibilty section 2
The document provides guidelines for determining hospice eligibility for patients with specific terminal illnesses. It states that to be eligible, patients must meet the guidelines in Section 2, which address general performance status and functional ability, as well as guidelines specific to their disease in Section 3. It then lists common terminal diseases that have additional eligibility guidelines in Section 3.
Confusion And Dementia
The document discusses confusion and dementia. It defines confusion and distinguishes it from dementia. Dementia is a decline in functioning that affects areas like memory, decision-making, and language. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. The document outlines signs and symptoms of dementia and how it progresses from mild to moderate stages. Potential causes of confusion are also discussed, including physiological factors like brain changes due to aging as well as situational factors like moving to a new environment.

Aphasia is diagnosed through neurological tests and treatment involves speech therapy to help improve communication abilities.
Chapter 12
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a motor neuron disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle weakness. As the disease progresses, it causes the loss of function in voluntary muscles as motor neurons degenerate and die, resulting in muscle atrophy. Early symptoms may include twitching or stiffness in muscles, slurred speech, or difficulty swallowing. As the disease worsens, patients experience increasing difficulty with tasks like breathing, speaking, walking, and moving, which can lead to paralysis and eventual death usually within 3-5 years due to respiratory failure.

The document provides information about quadriplegia, including its causes, symptoms, and treatments. It defines quadriplegia as paralysis of both arms and legs caused primarily by spinal cord injuries. Damage to the spinal cord prevents communication between the brain and body. Quadriplegia results in loss of movement, sensation, and control of bodily functions below the neck. Rehabilitation focuses on preventing complications like pressure sores and maintaining muscle and respiratory health through passive exercise and emerging technologies like functional electrical stimulation. Overall treatments aim to manage the condition and improve quality of life.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
