BETWEEN FRIENDS (13S)
It’s hard to remember a time before the Ice Bucket
Challenge, no? Our Facebook feeds have been
overrun by clips of all kinds of characters from
our pasts—camp friends, high-school exes, old
work colleagues—muttering about who they’re
nominating (“Karen, Joe Francone, and, you too,
Christy!”) and then getting right to it and dumping
a giant bucket over their heads. Right around
the time the challenge had seemed to reach its peak
pervasiveness, the celebrities caught on. Now, the
entire Internet—not just Facebook—seems to be a
mall where every store front features an Ice Bucket
Challenge video. Athletes! Models! Actors! They’re
all doing it.
What is ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often
referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” 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.
A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language.
“A” means no or negative. “Myo” refers to muscle,
and “Trophic” means nourishment–”No muscle
nourishment.” When a muscle has no nourishment,
it “atrophies” or wastes away. “Lateral”
identifies the areas in a person’s spinal cord where
portions of the nerve cells that signal and control
the muscles are located. As this area degenerates it
leads to scarring or hardening (“sclerosis”) in the
region.
As motor neurons degenerate, they can no
longer send impulses to the muscle fibers that normally
result in muscle movement. Early symptoms
of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness,
especially involving the arms and legs, speech,
swallowing or breathing. When muscles no longer
receive the messages from the motor neurons that
they require to function, the muscles begin to atrophy
(become smaller). Limbs begin to look “thinner”
as muscle tissue atrophies.
What Types of Nerves Make Your Body Work Properly?
(The body has many kinds of nerves. There are
those involved in the process of thinking, memory,
and of detecting sensations (such as hot/cold,
The Challenge has raised a staggering amount
of money for A.L.S. research, and any movement
that involves both Tom Cruise and Anna Wintour
is clearly a triumph. And it’s also been fun, as
with every choice made by celebrities, to overanalyze
each video. Who chooses a quirky twist, like
Chris Pratt? Who enlists a friend, as Leah Remini
did with J. Lo? Some show off their pools or backyards;
some go shirtless, while some cover up in
baggy sweatshirts. Maybe most tellingly of all, a
few nominate their non-celebrity friends, while
others decide to nominate the likes of Angelina
Jolie and Barack Obama.
sharp/dull), and others for vision, hearing, and
other bodily functions. The nerves that are affected
when you have ALS are the motor neurons that
provide voluntary movements and muscle power.
Examples of voluntary movements are your making
the effort to reach for the phone or step off a
curb; these actions are controlled by the muscles
in the arms and legs.
The heart and the digestive system are also made
of muscle but a different kind, and their movements
are not under voluntary control. When your
heart beats or a meal is digested, it all happens automatically.
Therefore, the heart and digestive system
are not involved in ALS. Breathing also may
seem to be involuntary. Remember, though, while
you cannot stop your heart, you can hold your
breath - so be aware that ALS may eventually have
an impact on breathing.
Although the cause of ALS is not completely understood,
the recent years have brought a wealth of
new scientific understanding regarding the physiology
of this disease.
While there is not a cure or treatment today that
halts or reverses ALS, there is one FDA approved
drug, riluzole, that modestly slows the progression
of ALS as well as several other drugs in clinical
trials that hold promise.
Importantly, there are significant devices and
therapies that can manage the symptoms of ALS
that help people maintain as much independence
as possible and prolong survival. It is important to
remember that ALS is a quite variable disease; no
two people will have the same journey or experiences.
There are medically documented cases of
people in whom ALS ‘burns out,’ stops progressing
or progresses at a very slow rate.
