About :
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare and not fully understood neurological disease. Find out more: https://yusupovs.com/clinics/neurolog... Alexey Vasiliev, head of the neurology department of Yusupov Hospital, took part in the program "Business Kitchen". The heroes of the story were patients with ALS, whom the doctor has been observing for many years. With ALS, motor neurons suffer. Their death leads to steadily increasing muscle weakness of the arms, legs, and face. A person finds it difficult to breathe, swallow - he can choke on a piece of food. Cognitive functions are not impaired. The disease can occur in people of different ages and genders, but is more often diagnosed in men over 50 years old. Often, physically strong, athletic people suffer from the disease. ALS is an incurable disease. On average, 3-5 years can pass from its onset to the patient's death. Existing drugs are not yet able to really prolong the patient's life. The life expectancy of ALS patients depends mainly on care and maintenance of vital functions. But miracles do happen: a patient diagnosed with motor neuron disease had severe weakness in his arm, typical changes were shown by myography. But the arm functions were still restored. This disease is difficult to diagnose in the early stages, because there are many different pathologies that can imitate ALS. And not every neurologist can recognize this disease, which is why precious time is lost. Currently, a common database of ALS patients is being compiled in Russia. It will reflect the number of patients with motor neuron disease, the age at which the disease debuts, the life expectancy of patients, the characteristics of the course of the disease in different regions, etc. Watch the stories of patients who have encountered this serious disease and have been fighting it for many years in the story.
