For several case-control studies, fractures and mechanical injuries were more frequent among amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients than controls. In the case-control study of Campbell et al, ALS patients displayed 14% more frequent history of fracture; 13% of the cases were diagnosed with disorders of the axial skeleton, compared with 5.4% of the controls.

J Radioanal Nuclear Chem 195(1):13-19 (1995) ABSTRACT: "Human kidney and liver tissues were studied for generalized elemental imbalances in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). Iron was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in ALS kidneys and Co and Fe(marginal, p < 0.10) were increased in ALS liver compared with their respective controls. Mercury values were almost two-fold higher for ALS kidney and 17% higher for ALS liver as compared with their respective controls. However, the Hg data exhibited large variations and ALS-control differences were not significant. Data from the present study are Read More Go to Site

		Glimmer of Hope for People with ALS ^Votes:0 Glimmer of Hope for People with ALS by Eleanor Mayfield Sunday, May 2, 1939, will be forever remembered in the annals of baseball as the day New York Yankees' first baseman Lou Gehrig voluntarily benched himself, ending a streak of 2,130 consecutive games. For months the once-great player's game had been in decline. His reflexes were off. He stumbled, fumbled, and struggled to hit or catch the ball. No one understood why, least of all Gehrig himself. A few weeks after Gehrig benched himself, doctors diagnosed his illness as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive disease of the central nervous system that remains incurable to this day. Two years later, on June 2, 1941, Gehrig died at the age of 37. The disease that took his life became known to Americans as Lou Gehrig's disease. Read More Go to Site

		Michael Zaslow's ZazAngels ^Votes:0 "'Not That Man Anymore' (A Message From Michael) " Now Available " ... Not That Man Anymore," the new book put out by Zaz's widow Susan Hufford, is terrific. Basically, it's the journal Michael was keeping during his fight with ALS (there's some really fascinating insight into his last months at Guiding Light), interspersed with Susan's memories of the journey, and observations from close friends, co-workers and their two daughters. It's an important and beautifully written work ? an emotional gut-punch, yet funny and dishy and hugely spiritual. I went to see Michael just a couple of weeks before he died (though at that point we all thought he had several months, if not a year or more, left in him) and it was one of the most profound days of my life.
