Vitamin D in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Summary
Vitamin D supplementation has been proposed as a potential treatment to delay amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progression. The aims of this study were to compare retrospectively vitamin D blood levels in ALS patients with those in healthy subjects; to correlate vitamin
D blood levels with clinical functions in patients; and to evaluate whether administration of vitamin D could modify the clinical progression of the disease. Vitamin D blood levels were evaluated in 57ALS patients and in 57 healthy subjects. In the ALS patients ...

Pesticide exposure assessed through agricultural crop proximity and risk of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Abstract
Background: Epidemiologic studies have raised the possibility that some pesticide compounds induce the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), though the available evidence is not entirely consistent.
Methods: We conducted a population-based case-control study in two Italian populations to assess the extent to which residence in the vicinity of agricultural crops associated with the application of neurotoxic pesticides is a risk factor for ALS, ...

Manejo nutricional de la esclerosis lateral amiotrófica: resumen de recomendaciones
Nutritional management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: summary of recommendations
CONCLUSIONES
La ELA es la más común de las enfermedades de la motoneurona. Con una incidencia en España cercana a un nuevo caso por 100.000 habitantes/año, no es muy habitual encontrarnos este
tipo de pacientes en las consultas de Nutrición, por lo que contar con una guía de manejo resulta especialmente útil. La ELA afecta gravemente al proceso de alimentación y al estado nutricional. Está demostrado que la ...

Lead, cadmium and mercury in cerebrospinal fluid and risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case-control study
Abstract
Exposure to neurotoxic chemicals such as pesticides, selenium, and heavy metals have been
suggested to play a role in the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We assessed
exposure to lead, cadmium, and mercury in 38 ALS patients (16 men and 22 females) and 38
hospital-admitted controls by using their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) content as biomarker. We
determined CSF heavy metal levels with inductively coupled plasma sector field mass
spectrometry, ...

Intakes of caffeine, coffee and tea and risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Results from five cohort studies
Abstract
Objective—Caffeine is thought to be neuroprotective by antagonizing the adenosine A2A
receptors in the brain and thereby protecting motor neurons from excitotoxicity. We examined the association between consumption of caffeine, coffee and tea and risk of Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS).
Methods—Longitudinal analyses based on over 1 010 000 men and women in 5 large cohort
studies [the Nurses’ Health Study, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, the ...

Feeding Tubes and Health Care Service Utilization in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Benefits and Limits to a Retrospective, Multicenter Study Using Big Data
Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neurologic disorder with predictable challenges regarding disease progression and end-of-life care. These include need for respiratory and nutritional support. Little is known about how such choices impact end-of-life health service utilization for these patients. Using OptumLabs Data Warehouse, a large
administrative claims database with more than 150 million ...

Exploring targets and therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: current insights into dietary interventions
Abstract: A growing number of preclinical and human studies demonstrate a disease-modifying effect of nutritional state in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The management of optimal nutrition in ALS is complicated, as physiological, physical, and psychological effects of the disease need to be considered and addressed accordingly. In this regard, multidisciplinary care teams play an integral role in providing dietary guidance to ALS patients and their carers. However, ...
