What else can I help you with?
Does ALS kill you?
Yes. It is a fatal neurodegenerative disease.
What is the prognosis for people with Kennedy's disease?
Kennedy's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is slow in its progression. It is likely that individuals will become wheelchair bound during the later stages of the disease
Is Lou Gehrig's disease a communicable disease?
No, Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) is not a communicable disease. It is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. It is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from person to person.
What is als diseas?
ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually respiratory failure. There is currently no cure for ALS.
Can you catch Lou Gehrig's Disease from someone?
No, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a GENETIC disease
Is Alzheimer's disease caused by bacteria?
No, Alzheimer's disease is not caused by bacteria. It is a neurodegenerative disorder that results from the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors leading to the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain.
Is parkison infectious?
Parkinson's disease is not infectious. It is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is still unknown, but it is not transmitted between individuals like an infectious disease.
What is straitonigral degeneration?
Striatonigral degeneration is a neurodegenerative disease caused by disruption of two areas, the striatum and substantia nigra, which work together to enable movement and balance.
When was Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases created?
Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases was created in 1990.
Is it true that Alzheimer's is a bone disease in which the bones becomes less dense?
No, Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the brain, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. Bone density is not a characteristic symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
Does ALS ultimately lead to death?
Yes, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that ultimately leads to death, typically due to respiratory failure.
Is grey matter a disease of the brain like alzheimers?
No, grey matter is not a disease. Grey matter refers to the part of the brain and spinal cord where nerve cell bodies are located. Alzheimer's disease, on the other hand, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory and cognition.
