On Lou Gehrig Day, we commemorate the great ballplayer who contracted the rare disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS affects nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain causing loss of muscle control. When Rachel Kerr Schneider's husband was diagnosed with ALS, they were raising young children, running the home, planning for an uncertain financial future, managing medical treatments, welcoming hospice, and accepting the help of supportive friends and relatives. It is challenging to remain Christ-like while living in a cloud of chaos. Rachel chronicled the family's journey in her book, The Widow Chose Red.There's never enough time to breathe, to sleep, to eat, to relax, to pray, or to take a bath. However, there's plenty of time to suffer.When her husband died, Rachel chose to wear red to honor her him at his service, choosing to celebrate his life amid her and her children's grieving. Red conveyed an important symbol for her and to those who have been there to support her, John and the family throughout.Rachel tells her story on Book Spectrum with host Chris Cordani. About Rachel KerrSchneiderSince her husband died in 2011, Rachel's faith continues to be challenged by widowhood, single parenting, a son with an addiction, relocation, relationships—a new husband, after ten years of long-distance dating, bonus mom to four girls who lost their mom to breast cancer, and becoming a Yaya, unexpectedly. Through it all, her reliance on and relationship with Jesus has given her the resilience that only the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit can provide. Her mission is to remind women that they do, in fact, possess a super-power of their own in the form of the Holy Spirit which lives and breathes in each one of us.Rachel is a member of the National Association for Christian Women Entrepreneurs and BRI Talks. She enjoys travel, which is good, since her parents live in Melbourne, Australia. She is a graduate of Cottey College and holds a B.B.A. from Southern Methodist University. A southern gal at heart, she currently calls the Dallas area home.On a professional level, Rachel created Spirited Prosperity to provide support, encouragement, and inspiration for women seeking to grow their faith, with a special emphasis on their relationship with the Holy Spirit. Her work has included personal training with Patty Aubery, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul, and Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Ignite with Lisa Nichols, John Tesh's All Access Coaching, and Platform with Michael Hyatt. As a Senior Regional Vice President for PartyLite, she was a contributing author to the bestseller Build It Big and has trained and spoken with hundreds of women.

ALS, a nervous system disease, ruled the headlines in the summer of 2014 thanks to the viral Ice Bucket Challenge. How has our knowledge of the disorder evolved a decade later? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ‘Lou Gehrig's disease' (named after the iconic baseball player), is a progressive neurological disorder which breaks down a person's motor neurons. The main symptoms are muscle weakness and impaired physical function — mild, at first, but in the latter stages of the disease's progression, essential processes like breathing begin to fail. Most individuals face a life expectancy of two to five years. A small percentage live five to ten years. And an even tinier group survive beyond a decade. Most famously, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking survived more than 50 years past his diagnosis, in part due to the intensive care he was able to afford. In this episode of the ‘Your Brain On...' podcast, we discuss: • What ALS is, and how it affects the brain and the body • The onset and progression of ALS, from the earliest symptoms to the end-stage impacts • How ALS patients are diagnosed, treated, and cared for • Likely causes of ALS, including genetic predispositions and potential environmental risk factors • How new technologies are rapidly accelerating our understanding of ALS, especially in genetics Joining us for this installment of the show are two world-class experts on the disease: • Professor Ammar Al-Chalabi PhD, Professor of Neurology and Complex Disease Genetics at the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute at King's College. • Merit Cudkowicz, Director of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neurologists, scientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

Hi folks, welcome to This Is Robotics, and our last episode for 2023. Next up a wild and woolly 2024. We are already planning our January show. It's forecast to be a fabulous for robotics, logistics and automation in general. Plus, it's also the Year of the Dragon (2024)The dragon, one of the luckiest and most powerful symbols offering prosperity, and good fortune throughout 2024. It is the perfect time for rejuvenated beginnings and setting the foundation for long-term success.THE STATS ARE IN FOR 2023! Our podcast host just gave us the best-ever Christmas present from our listeners:Once again, we are #1 worldwide for a robotics news podcast.Across 12 time zones and 63 countries, This Is Robotics podcast was downloaded by over 3,000 fans per week!Yearly, over 150,000 touchpoints with our listeners.Every hour of every day 18 pairs of ears somewhere in the world seek us out for the very best news in robotics. Thank you so very much!This closing episode for 2022, we highlight robots converging with artificial intelligence…in laboratories. Already making good headway, we look closely at what's going on.We'll look at one fascinating woman's brilliant insight on how best to discover a cure for our most intractable diseases, especially those without cures in neuroscience like ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. How research is broken and how she'll fix it. Hmmm, interesting. Her name, Alice Zhang, founder and CEO of Verge Genomics, and she just got $134 million to realize her brilliant insight.We catch up with her at a lecture at Stanford where she explains it all.Then we take a stab at answering a question we get all the time from our listening audience: How exactly do robots and AI work together in a laboratory to come up with miraculous discoveries as of late? We go to a lab in Liverpool UK where Andy Cooper explains it all.Then, how are all these elements taking over the industry? And giving it a name like Pharma 4.0? We present a concise, little episode excerpt that explains it all.Wow, that's a lot of “explaining it all” but it's all cool stuff.We close out our show with one of our most favorite and memorable episode excerpts, one that we get a large call to repeat throughout the year. But, it just so happens to be a perfect Christmas story, so we retell it every December: It's a story about China's supreme leader Deng Xiaoping, without whom China would have no middle class or be the giant in robotics it is today. We call it China's Christmas Miracle. A more heartwarming tale you can't find anywhere.SHOW NOTES ADDENDUMPlease see the show notes for more on the incurable disease that is ALS, including one very sad diary from a 31-year-old woman just diagnosed with ALS.ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neurological disorder that affects motor neurons, the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing. As motor neurons degenerate and die, they stop sending messages to the muscles, which causes the muscles to weaken, start to twitch (fasciculations), and waste away (atrophy). ALS is progressive. Eventually, in people with ALS, the brain loses its ability to initiate and control voluntary movements such as walking, talking, chewing and other functions, as well as breathing.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) recently claimed the life of Sandra Bullock's boyfriend Bryan Randall. The 57-year old died of the classic form of motor neuron disease after a three-year struggle.   Most die of ALS within three to five years. How did Stephen Hawking survive for 55 years with ALS?   In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated over 30,000 Americans had ALS. The disease affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, leading to loss of muscle control.   Only around 10 percent of ALS cases relate to family history, says neuroscientist Dayan Goodenowe, with the cause of the remainder 90 percent often loosely identified as "random."   Is there a hidden cause (or causes) of this disease that are simply being missed?   Does a clue to the cause of ALS lie in the 1982 case of the seven young adults who developed Parkinson's disease after injecting themselves with a bad batch of synthetic “designer” heroin?   Mr. Goodenowe joins VitalSigns host Brendon Fallon to probe the mystery cause(s) of ALS and illuminate hope for possible treatment. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In this episode, JNNP's new podcast host Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1) speaks with Dr. Michael Benatar (2) about his recently published article, "A roadmap to ALS prevention: strategies and priorities". This explores a new approach to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with an emphasis on earlier treatment before significant damage has occurred. This is important due to the limited capacity of the central nervous system to repair itself. The researchers involved sought to understand contributing factors for ALS risk, and to identify high-risk groups for further study. Note: The genetic therapy referred to as Tofersen, under review at the time of recording, has been approved by the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fda-approves-treatment-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis-associated-mutation-sod1-gene  You can read the paper at the following link: https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/94/5/399  (1) Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA (2) Department of Neurology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA   Please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or find it on your platform of choice.

Last week – when I flooded everyone's inbox with news that Swim Smooth was back (sorry, not sorry – as the kids say!), a gentleman from Oregon in the USA reached out to who informed me he'd just turned 89 years old the week before and that swimming was what was keeping him going in later life. He described his life in three parts: 1. His youth was the first third, he said, when he was very successful in both the pool and open water. This time included the dream of most all athletes, to be a member of the US Olympic team. He swam the 1500 in the Melbourne Games in 1956. 2. The second third would be his Masters Swimming in both the pool and open water. During this third he was honoured with an introduction into the International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame. 3. The final third is now, Dave said – dealing with the likely diagnosis of a rare neurological condition called ALS. Wikipedia states that, ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a rare neurological disease that affects motor neurons—those nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Voluntary muscles are those we choose to move to produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking. Despite these challenges, Dave says that when he swims he tries to be Smooth and steady. He says, he's not fast but he feels smooth and comfortable and that it is still a great feeling to just get in and try to glide through the water. Swimming has enabled Dave to keep a certain level of fitness. Mentally it is keeping him active with a positive attitude about life. So Smooth Swimming is a must for me, Dave says. Dave Radcliff from Oregon in the USA, a 1956 Olympian and someone who has held every master's swimming world record from 50m to 1500m freestyle for the 75-79 and 80-84 age groups, when he returned to swimming in 1995 at the age of 61. Dave's 1500m freestyle World Record time at age 80 was 22:16.90, only 3 minutes slower than his time in the 1956 Olympics. He's here today to talk to you about the importance of using it, or losing it! Enjoy!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.30.526372v1?rss=1 Authors: Wijegunawardana, D., Vishal, S. S., Venkatesh, N., Gopal, P. P. Abstract: Altered RNA metabolism is a common pathogenic mechanism linked to familial and sporadic Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is characterized by mislocalization and aggregation of TDP-43, an RNA-binding protein (RBP) with multiple roles in post-transcriptional RNA processing. Recent studies have identified genetic interactions between TDP-43 and Ataxin-2, a polyglutamine (polyQ) RBP in which intermediate length polyQ expansions confer increased ALS risk. Here, we used live-cell confocal imaging, photobleaching and translation reporter assays to study the localization, transport dynamics and mRNA regulatory functions of TDP-43/Ataxin-2 in rodent primary cortical neurons. We show that Ataxin-2 polyQ expansions aberrantly sequester TDP-43 within ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensates, and disrupt both its motility along the axon and liquid-like properties. Our data suggest that Ataxin-2 governs motility and translation of neuronal RNP condensates and that Ataxin-2 polyQ expansions fundamentally perturb spatial localization of mRNA and suppress local translation. Overall, these results indicate Ataxin-2 polyQ expansions have detrimental effects on stability, localization, and translation of transcripts critical for axonal and cytoskeletal integrity, particularly important for motor neurons.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.08.515572v1?rss=1 Authors: Toiber, D., Khrameeva, E., Smirnov, D. Abstract: SIRT6 is implicated in DNA repair, telomere maintenance, glucose and lipid metabolism and, importantly, it has critical roles in the brain ranging from its development to neurodegeneration. In this work, we combined transcriptomics and metabolomics approaches to characterize the functions of SIRT6 in mice brains. Our analysis revealed that SIRT6 is a critical regulator of mitochondrial activity in the brain. In its absence, there is a mitochondrial deficiency with a global downregulation of mitochondria-related genes and pronounced changes in metabolites content. We predict that SIRT6 can affect mitochondrial functions through its interaction with the transcription factor YY1 that, together, regulate mitochondrial gene expression. Moreover, SIRT6 target genes include SIRT3 and SIRT4, which are significantly downregulated in SIRT6-deficient brains. Our results demonstrate that the lack of SIRT6 leads to decreased mitochondrial gene expression and metabolomic changes of TCA cycle byproducts, including increased ROS production, reduced mitochondrial number, and impaired membrane potential that can be partially rescued by restoring SIRT3 and 4 levels. Importantly, the changes observed in SIRT6 deficient brains are observed in brains of aging people, but the overlapping is greater in patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease. Overall, our results suggest that reduced levels of SIRT6 in the aging brain and neurodegeneration could initiate mitochondrial dysfunction by altering gene expression, ROS production and mitochondrial decay.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – also known as Lou Gehrig's disease – is a rapidly progressive, neurodegenerative disease.1 Those living with ALS eventually lose their ability to walk, dress, write, speak, swallow and eat.1 ALS can affect people of all races and ethnic backgrounds, but did you know that Veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS than those who haven't served in the military? This Veterans Day, we honor those who have served in the U.S. armed forces and thank them for the sacrifices they've made to protect our country. I had the extreme honor of speaking with Juan Reyes, a U.S. Air Force Veteran living with ALS and a MTPA Patient Ambassador, to share his story of living with ALS, discuss how he's helping to spread awareness of this devastating disease among Veterans, and how others living with the disease can help support the ALS community. Along with his wife of 33 years, Meg.

Hello, podcast friends and family. And welcome back to another episode of the Back Pain Podcast. So continuing our journey beyond just back pain into the wider realm of musculoskeletal injuries, today we're talking about a very rare cause of shoulder pain. Now Parsonage turn syndrome is a rare cause of shoulder pain and weakness. Also known as brachial neuritis or neuralgic. Amyotrophic is characterised by very, very intense shoulder pain, which lasts for a matter of weeks, which then fades away but is replaced by severe muscle wasting and weakness. Now, this can last for a long period of time, up to two, maybe even three years. And in rare occurrences, in rare instances, it can continue to reoccur.   THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bxOur Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9ZSecond Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeAXLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZBStudio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LELaptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafTOur webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ    ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

Hosts Interventional Cardiologist Dr. John Phillips and Emmy Award-winning journalist Kym McNicholas are talking about innovation around ALS. Most are familiar with ALS now more than ever because o the famous internet ice bucket challenge involving the pouring of a bucket of ice water over a person's head, either by another person or self-administered, to promote awareness of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis , or ALS. ALS is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle. Most people with this disease begin with muscle stiffness or weakness. But they eventually lose the ability to walk, dress, write, speak, swallow, and ultimately breathe on their own when the muscle paralysis spreads to vital organs such as the lungs. We are talking about it here on the Heart of Innovation for three reasons: First, although it's not considered a vascular disease, some researchers believe that an ALS-linked gene mutation could cause disruptions in the blood-spinal cord barrier, causing the neurovascular inflammatory response, which is ALS; Second, due to the lack of mobility as ALS progresses, many people with ALS end up with circulation issues in the legs (Circulation issues in the legs is known as peripheral vascular disease. We've talked about that at length on this show where arteries start hardening and the flaps that help usher blood flow back to the heart start malfunctioning.); Third, innovation around treatment and disease management has led to a longer, better quality of life for people with ALS due to organizations such as the Gleason Foundation, founded by former New Orleans Saints NFL great Steve Gleason. Kearney Gray, Director of development for the Gleason Foundation talks about how patient-driven innovation with communication and mobility are helping patients to live a longer, better quality of life. The Gleason foundation has played an integral role in raising the patient voice to create change in care, empowering companies to create new, novel approaches to improving communication for people with ALS, and not only educating lawmakers on ALS, but inspiring them to take action to help elevate care. Dietitian Melissa Hooper also joins the discussion to talk about the importance of nutrition in slowing the progression of disease and improving the quality of life of people with ALS. Since people with ALS maintain their cognitive ability throughout disease progression, knowing what's to come and what's happening can impact mental well-being. So, Kathryn Walker, CEO, MSN-Anesthesia, MSN-Psychiatry, at mental wellness treatment centers, Rivatalist, adds to the conversation with available options to improve mental health.

Days before their 25th wedding anniversary, Lisa Valentine Clark lost her husband Christopher to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) after a four-year battle. While both Lisa and Clark had been big figures in the performing circle in their area, they were astonished and humbled by the support they got from the community, friends, family, and even strangers. While Chris slowly lost control of his body, his spirits remained high as he choose to keep ‘Living ‘til the end.” Together, their family leaned on faith, and just as they had heard time and time again in their improv classes, accepted the challenges thrown at them with a “Yes, and…” attitude. Lisa joins this episode of the Relentlessly Resilient podcast to share their story.  Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another's experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie's husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.

The Supply Chain is Broken – How to Fix it with Jeff Dangelo Larry Cepuran and Joe Lynch talk about Lou Gehrig Day and ALS, which stands for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Larry Cepuran is a friend of Joe's who has been diagnosed with ALS, which is sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS has no cure and very few treatments. About Jeff Dangelo Jeff Dangelo is the Managing Partner of Lighthouse, Prior to joining Lighthouse, Jeff co-founded Turvo, a leading enterprise software organization. Before founding Turvo, Jeff spent 13 years in the logistics and transportation space. Jeff was the Vice President of Sales at a third-party logistics start-up. As the first employee, he was tasked with building and growing the sales organization. He was instrumental in its growth to $150m in sales in less than 5 years.  Prior to joining the 3PL start-up, Jeff was a Senior Sales Executive at TQL, a $4 billion third-party logistics company, where he helped grow revenue from $20m to over $500m in sales. Jeff is a graduate of Miami University (Oxford, OH), with a degree in Marketing and Operations. About Lighthouse Lighthouse offers dedicated trucking, logistics, warehousing and co-packing coupled with the best supply chain software in the world to give everyone an amazing experience.Digital logistics companies aren't designed to provide services to support complex supply chains, while traditional providers do not have the right technology or business model(s). Lighthouse reimagined what it means to be a digital logistics provider by combining the best of both worlds. Key Takeaways: The Supply Chain is Broken – How to Fix it Problem 1: Software Every company and silo in the supply chain seems to have their own software. The information doesn't always flow well from system to system. System integrations are costing and time consuming. Creating a collaborative platform is essential. Problem 2: Too Much Manual Work Businesses are built off of manual work, having employees doing emails and calls. Increasing labor cost. Re-train customers to go digital instead of emails and calling. Create visibility and transparency to avoid so much manual work. Problem 3: Business Models are Not Aligned Traditional business models are not designed for the future of the industry. Shifting to a more transparent model. Finding ways to solve problems with new models. The solution to all of the above problems is business model transformation to include technology, visibility, and transparency.

Lou Gehrig Day with Larry Cepuran Larry Cepuran and Joe Lynch talk about Lou Gehrig Day and ALS, which stands for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Larry Cepuran is a friend of Joe's who has been diagnosed with ALS, which is sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS has no cure and very few treatments. Donate to ALS TDI Lou Gehrig Day In March 2021, Major League Baseball declared June 2 henceforth to be Lou Gehrig Day. June 2 was chosen because it is the anniversary of when Gehrig became the Yankees' starting first baseman in 1925 and when he died in 1941.  Lou Gehrig Achievements Hit four home runs in one game on June 3, 1932. Won the Triple Crown in 1934 when he led the American League in batting average (.363), home runs (49) and runs batted in (165). Holds the record for most grand slams in a career with 23. Hit 493 home runs in his career, setting the record for the most home runs hit by any first baseman in history until Mark McGwire hit 500. Became the only player in history to drive in more than 500 runs in three years. He ushered in 174 runs in 1930, 184 in 1931 and 151 in 1932, for a total of 509. His amazing total of 184 RBI's in a single season (1931) is first In American League history and second in baseball history (behind Hack Wilson's 190 RBI's with the Chicago Cubs). Set a record by playing in a consecutive streak of 2,130 professional baseball games throughout his career, despite 17 fractures in his hands, being beaned several times, having severe back pain and suffering various other illnesses and minor injuries. Gehrig's record stood until Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it in 1995. Became the first athlete to have his number retired. Upon his retirement from baseball in 1939, the New York Yankees retired his No. 4 jersey. Today, the practice of retiring jerseys numbers is carried out in most sports. Was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939. In light of his progressive illness, the usual two-year waiting period after a player retires was waived in Gehrig's case.  About ALS TDI The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is the world's foremost drug discovery lab focused solely on ALS. As a nonprofit biotech we operate without regard to profit or politics. Led by drug development experts and people with ALS, our Cambridge, Massachusetts based lab is funded by a global network of supporters unified to end ALS. Our mission is to discover and develop effective treatments for ALS.  Donate to ALS TDI ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) There are currently no known effective cures or treatments to stop disease progression of ALS. ALS is a complex disease that varies from person to person and far more research is necessary to discover effective treatments for each person living with ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disease that causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Some also use the term motor neuron disease for a group of conditions of which ALS is the most common. ALS is characterized by stiff muscles, muscle twitching, and gradually worsening weakness due to muscles decreasing in size. It may begin with weakness in the arms or legs, or with difficulty speaking or swallowing. About half of the people affected develop at least mild difficulties with thinking and behavior and most people experience pain. Most eventually lose the ability to walk, use their hands, speak, swallow, and breathe. The cause is not known in 90% to 95% of cases, but is believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors. The remaining 5–10% of cases are inherited from a person's parents. About half of these genetic cases are due to one of two specific genes. The underlying mechanism involves damage to both upper and lower motor neurons. The diagnosis is based on a person's signs and symptoms, with testing done to rule out other potential causes.

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a complex and convoluted process that leads to the disruption of brain function. The initial injury, can be represented by traumatic or non-traumatic injuries. In traumatic injuries there is a transfer of physical energy from outside the individual to the inside which might be represented by blunt head trauma as in an assault, blast wave trauma from an IED, acceleration-decceleration injury as in a motor vehicle accident or a fall, and repetitive impact injury as in boxing, gunfire, football, and even skiing. Non-traumatic injuries can be precipitated by chronic stress, certain medications, x-rays, surgical procedures, viral and bacterial infections, auto-immune illnesses, and inflammatory bowel diseases to name a few. Regardless of the causation, the effect is the turning on of cells in the brain called Microglia. These are the main immune cells in the brain that protects us from infections and help to keep our brain clear from the accumulation of by-products of cellular metabolism, death, and bad chemistry. Over time, the inflammation generated can affect your cognitive and emotional health which is associated with poor short and long-term memory, emotional lability and one or more mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder. Recent scientific literature is making the association of these inflammatory cytokines with all formed of neurodegenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).   Originally residency trained and board certified in Family Medicine (1984), Dr. Mark L. Gordon continued his medical education in Clinical Orthopedics (1990), Cosmetic Dermatology (1993), and Sports Medicine. His book, The Clinical Application of Interventional Medicine (2008), is recognized by his peers as a primer for the standards of care and assessment for Interventional Endocrinology (anti-aging medicine). He is currently the Medical Director of CBS Studios (2001-date), and has also participated on projects with HBO, ESPN, CNN, FOX, Good Morning, and a number of international news programs. Dr. Gordon has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience (#438, #574, #700, #1056) to discuss Traumatic Brain Injury associated hormonal dysfunction syndrome which generated national and international interest. In May 2015, his book Traumatic Brain Injury – A clinical approach to diagnosis and treatment, was launched along with a three-day workshop attended by an international and national group of medical specialists seeking advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of TBI.

What causes the brain to degenerate? – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Imagine returning from work and being unable to remember your wife’s name. You wonder how many kids you have, and your dog looks so strange in your eyes. Sounds strange right? Yea, that’s what could happen when your brain begins to degenerate. What is Neurodegeneration? The word “neurodegenerative” is derived from two words “neuro”- brain, and “degenerative,”- breaking down. So, neurodegeneration is the progressive breakdown (both structure and function) of neurons present in the brain. Basically, the brain is made up of about 86 million nerve cells, and these nerves connect with the brain in more than a trillion connections throughout the body. These connections make you who you are, and it determines functions like, remembering things you read, thinking about your family plans, moving around, and many more. So, when there is a miscommunication between brain cells, it could cause the brain to degenerate which can lead to losing intellectual function as their brain gradually deteriorates, and the effect is evident in memory, speech, and spatial skills. Like the example given above, when your home starts to feel like someone else’s place, it could be a sign of degenerative brain disease. The bad part is that this disease worsens over time as the neurons in the brain die. Some common examples of neurodegenerative diseases that affect different parts of the brain include: Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease Alzheimer’s disease Frontotemporal dementia Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Spinal muscular atrophy Lewy body disease Parkinson’s disease causes impairment in movement. Alzheimer’s disease gradually causes memory loss in victims. Huntington’s disease deprives a sufferer of the ability to talk, walk, reason, and think, and this starts as early as in their mid-30s. Frontotemporal dementia leads to bewildering changes in a person’s behavior and thoughts. In all of these diseases, the symptoms may start and last for as long as ten or twenty years until death. And many sufferers live a life of dependence, especially in their final years. What causes the brain to degenerate? Most of the neurodegenerative diseases are genetic, but sometimes, they can be as a result of a medical condition like: Stroke Alcoholism A tumor Other causes include: Chemicals Toxins viruses The degenerative brain disease can be life-threatening, depending on the type. Symptoms of brain degeneration There are many symptoms of brain degeneration, depending on the type of disease and what part of the brain is affected. However, some common symptoms include: Memory loss Confusion Difficulty in moving and swallowing Hallucination Difficulty regulating emotions Forgetfulness A loss of inhibition Anxiety These symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases tend to become worse as the disease progresses, and there is a chance of new symptoms arising with time.   Treatment of brain degeneration Most of these diseases do not have a cure. The treatment measures available are targeted to help improve symptoms, increase mobility, and relieve pain. However, you can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC to get advice on some natural measures to improve the symptoms of degenerative brain disease.

This episode features Dr Dominika Lisiecka (Department of Nursing and Healthcare Sciences, School of Health and Social Sciences, Institute of Technology Tralee, Tralee, Ireland). Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis causes multiple neurodegenerative symptoms including dysphagia, which impacts on person’s ability to eat and drink in a safe way and can contribute to chest infections, pneumonia and death. Family caregivers play an important role in managing a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but little is known about how dysphagia impacts on their own lives. Managing progressive dysphagia can be a huge challenge for caregivers of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and can lead to multiple psycho-social consequences. Caregivers may be extremely concerned about the safety of a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis during meals and fearful of choking. Dysphagia transforms caregivers’ perception of food. The caregivers’ approach to dysphagia may depend on the duration of caregiving and the caregiver’s relationship with the person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Caregivers of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis need support from professionals to manage dysphagia at home. In particular, advice should be provided in relation to managing adverse episodes, such as choking at home. Professionals delivering services for dysphagia should find ways to recognise and address the needs of the caregivers of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis rather than focusing on the person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis alone.

April is the executive director of the Nevada Chapter of ALS. ALS was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn't until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought national and international attention to the disease. Ending the career of one of the most beloved baseball players of all time, the disease is still most closely associated with his name. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. We chat about ALS, the importance and the struggle of non-profits and the importance of giving back to your community. We also talk about finding creative ways to reach your goals and more.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that results in a constellation of problematic symptoms and a high patient and caregiver burden. Multidisciplinary care includes rehabilitation interventions that have the goal of assisting people to teach their fullest potential despite the presence of a disabling disease. Given the progressive nature of ALS, the clinician must be aware of the expected disease trajectory and apply appropriate interventions at each stage. This review will present rehabilitation strategies that can be utilized to maximize patient independence, function, safety, and quality of life, and to minimize disease-related symptoms. The role of bracing, exercise, assistive devices, and adaptive equipment will be discussed. At each disease stage, an experienced rehabilitation team is well positioned to make a significant impact on the life of ALS patients.

This week on Priority One --- Michael Chabon answers another round of fan questions, Shatner tweets, Simon Pegg talks Kelvin 4, and we send our support to Kenneth Mitchell. In Gaming news, we trek out the newest Promo ship, the Section 31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser …. Then, we look On Screen to episode 6 of Star Trek Picard - The Impossible Box Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Should William Shatner Reprise His Role As Captain Kirk, Either as a Cameo or in a Title Role A La Picard? AND CQ: Are you more likely to pick up the MACO or Wrath of Khan costumes now that they've moved to the Lobi Store? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Michael Chabon Hits Instagram...Again Star Trek: Picard showrunner Michael Chabon chatting trek on Instagram is becoming a thing - and we couldn't be happier! On February 26th and 27th, the showrunner, writer, author, and creator took to Instagram “Story” to answer some of the fans most burning Star Trek questions. While some answers were entertaining - like Chabon proclaiming Agnes his favorite Star Trek: Picard character or his pointing out Gorn easter eggs from previous episodes - others were more informative. In regards to the perceived dystopian nature of the newest Star Trek offerings, Chabon was asked ”Is there a link between [Star Trek: Picard] (Federation downfall and [Discovery Season 3] (Federation gone)?”, to which he replied in part ”What Federation downfall? The Federation is still very much alive and well and home to trillions (quadrillions?) of safe, housed, fed, educated citizens with the potential to lead fulfilling lives. There was a crisis 15 years ago,in the wake of the costly Dominion War and Romulan emergency, which had a negative impact on the lives of many people, including most of our principal characters [...] From Admiral Clancy's viewpoint,which is likely the mainstream view, Picard's attitude was unrealistic, quixotic,and even dangerous. She may be right! They may both be right, and both wrong. But  that was fifteen years ago,and the Federation is still going strong. Perhaps in the eyes of some it lost its luster, its air of invulnerability, its claim to the moral high ground, a process that began during the DS9 times. That is hardly a “downfall”,though” William Shatner...DONE With Kirk Prolific tweeter and Star Trek star William Shatner did something shocking this week while prolifically tweeting - he said he was done playing Star Trek's Captain Kirk. On March 1st, Shatner answered a tweet that asked ”Now that they have the series #Picard do you think they'll consider a series “Kirk” for you? That would be pretty cool.” with the response ”No. I think Kirk's story is pretty well played out at this point.”. The 88 year old Shatner continued in - you guessed it - more tweets saying “They could also do adventures in the ribbon...Yawning face emoji Sleeping face emoji [...] I don't do cameos.It's a throwaway part to sell DVDs”. What do you think? Simon Pegg on The Future of The Kelvin Crew Simon Pegg sat down this week with gamesradar to talk about his latest project, “Lost Transmission”. While the down-to-earth indy film about mental health, which is due to hit US theaters this month, sounds intriguing... We really want to know about Pegg's reprisal as Scotty in the JJ reboot Kelvin timeline Star Trek films! Well, it sounds like we may need a miracle worker to get that project off the ground. Pegg told gamesradar ”The fact is, Star Trek movies don't make Marvel money. They make maybe $500m at the most, and to make one now, on the scale they've set themselves, is $200m. You have to make three times that to make a profit.”.  Pegg went on to explain HIS thoughts on Beyond's less-than-stellar box office numbers, saying ”I don't feel like the last one… They didn't really take advantage of the 50th anniversary. The regimen at the time dropped the ball on the promo of the film. And we've lost momentum.”. But it doesn't sound like it's only the studio that has lost the Star Trek fire ”I think losing Anton [Yelchin] was a huge blow to our little family, and our enthusiasm to do another one might have been affected by that. So I don't know.” Kenneth Mitchell's ALS Diagnosis In sad news, Star Trek: Discovery star and fan-favorite Kenneth Mitchell announced this week that he is battling ALS. According to the ALS Association, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease - is ”an always fatal neurodegenerative disease in which the person's brain loses connection with the muscles.” The 45 year old Mitchell, who has played three separate Klingons in the first two seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, broke the news exclusively to PEOPLE, saying “The moment that they told us it was [ALS], it was like I was in my own movie. That's what it felt like, like I was watching that scene where someone is being told that they have a terminal illness. It was just a complete disbelief, a shock.” Mitchell went on to say ”I think it, over time, became the theme of us accepting this with grace. Trying to see the beauty in it, in a way. I'll never forget, one of my Star Trek costars told me, because they had dealt with some trying times with illnesses and stuff, and I remember them communicating to me, saying, ‘You have a choice. You can look at this in many different ways, but maybe try to look at this like a gift where you get to experience life in a way that most people don't.'” We ask that you join us in sending support to Kenneth Mitchell, his wife, two children, family, friends,and loved ones. Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Section 31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser Promo Ship Well, Captains, it's time again to light a few candles on the old shrine to RNGsus, if you're so inclined. Star Trek Online has announced the latest Duty Officer and R&D Promotion event, and along with it the latest Tier 6 Promotion Pack Ship. Beginning March 5th, players who open a Promotional R&D Pack or Promotional Duty Officer Pack will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or a Special Requisition - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack in addition to their R&D materials or Duty Officers. The newest grand prize ship is the Section 31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser, as seen in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 finale, “Such Sweet Sorrow, part 2”. If you recall from the episode, this is the sleek quad nacelle ship whose hull peeled away into a swarm of Control drones. According to the announcement blog, “This vessel from Section 31 features a number of unique capabilities, including its Secret Mission tracking, its Forged Turncoat capabilities, Dark Mode, and its daunting Swarm Mode.” Turning an eye toward the ship's stats, this is a scaling Tier 6 Federation Battlecruiser with a 5 front / 3 rear weapons layout. The bridge officer stations are Commander Engineering/Command, Lt. Commander Tactical, Lt. Commander Universal, Lt. Universal/Intelligence, and Ensign Engineering. As a Command specialized ship, it also carries the Inspiration Abilities mechanic. A new Universal console is included, the Forged Turncoat console, which will passively add Crit Severity and Weapon Power to your ship. When activated, the console will override the targeting systems of an enemy, causing it to attack its former allies with significantly buffed damage output. When the effect expires, the target is briefly disabled. The ship's Starship Trait, Secret Mission, looks like an interesting addition to the game. While the trait is slotted, every few seconds in combat an enemy will be marked as a “secret mission” target. That foe has lowered resistances to your attacks, and when destroyed, will spawn a swarm of Section 31 Drones to join the fight. The last noteworthy features of the new ship are Dark Mode and Swarm Mode. Dark Mode, as with the previous Section 31 Science Destroyer, functionally behaves much like a traditional cloaking device. Swarm Mode, when activated, launches hundreds of fighter drones that automatically target nearby enemies. While in Swarm Mode, maneuverability is increased and hull capacity is slightly decreased. Patch Notables This past week introduced a number of quality of life improvements in the weekly Patch Notes. First up, a number of updated costume tailor options have been added. Next, to pretty much everyone's joy, stackable items like Lobi Crystals, R&D items, Upgrades, and so on, have been allowed to stack up to 9,999 per stack. The per-character limit on Fleet Dilithium Vouchers has been raised to 100 million from 10 million.  And, perhaps the most exciting patch news, these hard-to-get costumes have been moved from the Dilithium Store to the Lobi Store: The 22nd Century MACO Uniform - 300 Lobi The Wrath of Khan “Scotty” Engineer's Vest - 200 Lobi The Wrath of Khan Excursion Jacket - 200 Lobi The Wrath of Khan Captain's Vest: 150 Lobi So if you've been dreaming of those great MACO or Wrath of Khan uniforms, maybe they're a little more in reach now! EVENTS Finally, after much waiting, our Console Captains are now into the first week of their 10th Anniversary Event! So, Captains, drop us a note on social media to share your progress or let us know what you're enjoying about it. For PC players, a new Featured Event campaign begins on March 5th with a return to The Battle at the Binary Stars. Participating in the Featured TFO daily will earn you Event Campaign progress points, as well as daily event rewards. Where previous Event Campaigns comprised of 3 Featured TFO events, this campaign will take place across 4 events spanning most of this year's new content releases. Of course, with the longer campaign come higher Campaign Progress requirements. Instead of the previous 2100 progress points for completion, this campaign will require 2800 points. The rewards are revamped a bit, too, with two options available to players. Option 1 provides a C-Store Coupon for 100% off a single Tier-6 starship, plus 200 Lobi Crystals. Option 2 provides no coupon, but 1,000 Lobi Crystals as a reward. Both options are, of course, claimable once per account. Earning 14 days of daily progress during the Battle at the Binary Stars event will earn captains the following rewards: Universal Kit Module - DOT-7 Drone Fabrication DOT-7 Non-Combat Drone Pet 25,000 Dilithium Ore 3 Featured TFO Reward Boxes (each a choice between 1 Spec Point or 1 Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade) Additionally, Bonus Dilithium payouts for Daily progress after event completion have been modified from previous events. Instead of tiered bonuses of 2,500 per day, maxing out at 25,000, the bonus begins at 8,000 Dilithium on day 1 and increases by a linear 1,000 Dilithium per day after that, with an unreachable limit.  For a little reference, 7 days of Bonus Dilithium in the new structure will pay 77,000 Dilithium Ore, where the previous event structure would pay 70,000. For 14 total days of Bonus Dilithium, the previous system would pay out 237,500 Dilithium to the new system's 203,000.  And for 3 full weeks of Bonus Dilithium payout, the old system would have paid 412,500 Dilithium to the new system's 378,000. In short, the new system is an improvement in payouts for players who complete less than 9 days of Bonus progress, or more than 27 days of Bonus progress after buying out the event. PRIORITY ONE ARMADA NEWS Join us for TFO Tuesday - each Tuesday we team up with other Armada members to earn marks and dilithium.  Epsilon Fleet - kicked off it's first Tier V colony upgrade. The House of Martok 3rd Tier V Colony is available - just needs provisions and dilithium.  Other Gaming News Star Trek Catan Sale If you're looking for some tabletop Star Trek gaming fun, Walmart.Com is offering the Star Trek Catan board game for $43, which is $22 discounted from its usual $65 price. Based on the hugely popular Catan board game, Star Trek Catan brings the game into the Federation. As the game's website describes the game, “On behalf of the Federation, you explore space with your starships and build outposts and starbases near valuable planets. There you extract important resources such as the coveted dilithium. But the Federation has also sent out other expeditions. Therefore, you have to be wary of competitors - and of the Klingons, who want to give the players a hard time.”

If you were given a timeframe from your doctor that you had only one year left to live, how would you respond? What would you do with your year? Would you tell anyone or keep it to yourself? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott as he discusses a sobering topic, death. Not to put everyone in a dark mood, Scott simply wants to help sellers like you keep your eyes on the prize. Let’s face it, we often tend to think that we will live forever and that there is no end to our story but the truth is, the end comes for all of us. Tune into this episode to hear Scott expand on this critical topic.  Life is precious and short! Don’t worry TAS followers, Scott is just fine! The reason that Scott decided to discuss this topic is due to some recent news about a dear family friend. After experiencing some odd numbing in his extremities, this individual went to get further testing to find out what was going on with their body. As it turns out, Scott’s dear family friend was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease. Facing this news head-on, Scott’s family and friends are rallying around this person and doing everything they can to keep a positive outlook and a good attitude. Find out how this news has helped Scott think of the future a little differently by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller.  Practicing gratitude If you’ve been around the TAS community for very long, you know that Scott is passionate about helping sellers like you connect to something greater than yourself. Some sellers are religious, some have no religion, and many are somewhere in between - that’s great! Whatever your faith tradition, it has been shown time and time again that people who practice gratitude have better outlooks on life and have more positive energy surrounding them. Maybe practicing gratitude isn’t for you, that’s fine - whatever practice that keeps you grounded and humble - find it! Listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller to hear Scott go further with this important topic - you don’t want to miss it!  What motivates you?  What is the one thing that keeps you on track and moving forward in life and business? Are you looking forward to all the things that money can buy or are you looking for something more valuable than possessions? Let’s face it, the one thing that you can’t get with more money is time. Is all the hard work and long nights spent building your business worth it in the end? Each person has to decide that for themselves - some see the short-term loss of freedom in exchange for a brighter future as a good bargain. Whatever approach and goals you have set in your mind, remember - you won’t get there the easy way. Tune into this episode of The Amazing Seller as Scott offers some helpful reflections on setting goals, achieving them, and so much more.  OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE AMAZING SELLER [0:03] Scott’s introduction to this episode of the podcast!

The World Health Organization states that neurological disorders are one of the greatest threats to public health today. Seventy-six million aging baby boomers, or 29 percent of the population in the United States, are about to push Alzheimer's disease rates sky high. Acupuncture, a form of traditional Chinese medicine, has been proven safe and effective in treating a wide variety of common ailments and problems. Acupuncture can also help treat Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. This talk will discuss electroacupuncture, where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. Electroacupuncture targets specific receptors to stimulate neuropeptide release for cerebral rehabilitation and neural synaptic repair. John Nieters will explain how this type of acupuncture works in the treatment of these four top neurological diseases: Alzheimer's disease/dementia, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Motor Neuron Disease, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. Nieters will further explain how electroacupuncture correlates to traditional Chinese medicine. Join us for this opportunity to hear Nieters, an experienced American practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. This event is the latest in our member-led forums' Art and Science of Well-Being series.

ALS - Mid America Chapter http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?fr_id=13231&pg=entry   Mission and History   Since its founding in 2006, ALS in the Heartland has assisted over 800 individuals with ALS, their families, and caregivers, one by one, to improve their quality of life, provide them with much-needed goods and services, and assist in maintaining their dignity for as long as possible. ALS in the Heartland exists to provide the highest quality of support and care for ALS patients and their families in Nebraska and western Iowa. Throughout the past eleven years ALS in the Heartland has: •Served in 60 counties. •Aided in keeping 59% of ALS individuals in their homes throughout their illness. •Provided thousands of respite grants, or breaks from the emotionally and physically taxing role of caregiving. •Utilized 100% of every dollar donated for services in Nebraska and western Iowa. •Supplied thousands of pieces of equipment to people with ALS.  •Received feedback that 96% of patient families have found ALS in the Heartland services helpful and needed. ALS in the Heartland is honored to travel this journey with those touched by ALS.         ALS Facts   Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. As of today, the cause of ALS is unknown. There are no known preventative measures, and there is no recognized cure. •About 30,000 people nationwide suffer from ALS. •ALS strikes nearly 5,600 people in the U.S. each year. •Symptoms can include twitching, cramping, or stiffness of muscles – muscle weakness affecting an arm or a leg, slurred and nasal speech, or difficulty chewing or swallowing. •The disease most commonly strikes people between 40-60 years of age. •Young adults and older individuals can also develop the disease. •Average lifespan after diagnosis is two to five years. •The disease crosses all ethnic, racial and socioeconomic boundaries. •Men are affected more often than women. •Eventually all muscles under voluntary control are affected. •Because ALS affects only motor neurons, the disease does not impair a person’s mind, personality, intelligence, or memory. •Patients usually maintain control of eye muscles and bladder and bowel functions. •Patients lose their strength and ability to move their arms, legs, body, and when the muscles in the diaphragm and chest wall fail, the patients lose the ability to breathe without ventilatory support. •Beginning symptoms show in one of three areas: lower extremity, bulbar area, or upper extremity. •No one test can provide a definitive diagnosis for ALS, although the presence of upper and lower motor neuron signs in a single limb is strongly suggestive. •The diagnosis of ALS is primarily based on the symptoms and signs the physician observes in a patient and a series of tests to rule out other diseases.     _________________________________________________________ Walk to defeat ALS August 25th 2018 http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?fr_id=13231&pg=entryThe Supply   Fundraising through the Walk drives bold and urgent innovation as we march together toward a treatment and ultimately a cure for ALS.   The Local Connection Your participation in the Walk to Defeat ALS has a direct impact on people living with ALS and their families at the local level.

About the book: Green Vanilla Tea is a true story of love and courage in the face of a deadly and little understood illness. With literary finesse, compassion, and a powerful gift of storytelling, Marie Williams writes poignantly of her husband Dominic’s struggles with early onset dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 40, and how their family found hope amidst the wreckage of a mysterious neurological condition. As the condition develops and progresses, the normally devoted family man and loving partner seems to disappear beneath an expressionless facade, erratic behavior, and a relentless desire to wander that often leaves him lost. The road to diagnosis is long and confusing, and what starts off as perplexing for the family then becomes frightening. The man they love is changing, and no one seems to know why. He no longer turns up to his sons’ high school events. He falls and bumps into things. He becomes verbally disinhibited, emotionally disengaged, and, at times, belligerent. He doesn’t seem to be able to read the social cues of other people. He gets lost in familiar places, as well as on obsessive work trips overseas. He recklessly spends the family money, leaving them in near financial ruin. Despite this, Williams and her children strive to find new ways to keep him safe and to connect with the husband and father they love so dearly. While the family learns to cope with Dominic’s illness—which they call the Green Goblin—Williams is determined that her children reclaim the dad of their memories. She finds creative ways to make visible the stories of the man beyond the illness, and helps them remember him as the engaged, healthy, and loving man she fell in love with. She humanizes the experience through storytelling and assembling a quilt made up of transferred photographs, painted artwork, family footprints, and personal inscriptions from family and friends. This, along with tea rituals, music, and stories of fatherhood, love and value, support them as fierce advocates for Dominic’s dignity and give the family new ways to be together as they journey through his decline. Spanning between moments of intense joy and incredible sadness, this book is a passionate testament to one family’s unconditional love for one another. It is, “a tale of a strange place—the real world— in which green goblins and hope find a way to live together.” Above all, it is a love story. About the author: Marie Williams has worked as a clinical social worker in health settings, nonprofit sectors, clinical education, and private practice. She is also an artist and believes in the power of creativity and story to transform. The Australian edition of Williams’ book, Green Vanilla Tea won the national Finch Memoir Prize in 2013. Williams lives in Brisbane, Australia.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. On today's HearSay, host Cathy Lewis is joined by doctors, advocates, and caregivers who continue the search for new developments in the treatment of this debilitating disease. We'll also discuss the local resources available to our region's ALS patients and how those options are helping them maintain their independence.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and palliative care: Where we are, and the road ahead by Dr. Leslie J. Blackhall, interviewed by Dr. Michael K. Hehir. Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have high symptom burdens, including pain, fatigue, dyspnea, and sialorrhea, and they must make difficult decisions about the use of life-prolonging therapies, such as long-term mechanical ventilation. The impact of ALS is also felt by family caregivers who often struggle to meet the heavy physical, financial, and emotional demands associated with the illness. Expert multidisciplinary care may improve both quality and length of life of patients with ALS. However, although advances have been made in the treatment of some symptoms, others, including pain management, remain poorly studied. Involvement of palliative care specialists as part of the ALS multidisciplinary team is recommended, as we continue to work toward improving the quality of life for patients and their families.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative condition. Optimal management requires a palliative approach from diagnosis with emphasis on patient autonomy, dignity and quality of life.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor neurons. However, ALS has been recognized to also involve non-motor systems. Subclinical involvement of the autonomic system in ALS has been described. The recently developed C-13-octanoic acid breath test allows the noninvasive measurement of gastric emptying. With this new technique we investigated 18 patients with ALS and 14 healthy volunteers. None of the patients had diabetes mellitus or other disorders known to cause autonomic dysfunction. The participants received a solid standard test meal labeled with C-13-octanoic acid. Breath samples were taken at 15-min intervals for 5 h and were analyzed for (CO2)-C-13 by isotope selective nondispersive infrared spectrometry. Gastric emptying peak time (t(peak)) and emptying half time (t(1/2)) were determined. All healthy volunteers displayed normal gastric emptying with a mean emptying t(1/2) of 138 +/- 34 (range 68-172) min. Gastric emptying was delayed (t(1/2) > 160 min) in 15 of 18 patients with ALS. Emptying t(1/2) in ALS patients was 218 +/- 48 (range 126-278) min (p < 0.001). These results are compatible with autonomic involvement in patients with ALS, causing delayed gastric emptying of solids and encouraging the theory that ALS is a multisystem disease rather than a disease of the motor neurons only.
