	Motor neurone disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motor neurone disease (MND) is a term used to cover a number of illnesses of the motor neurone; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) are all forms of MND.
		MND is the term used internationally while ALS is often used in the United States (where it is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, after a famous patient) to cover all forms of MND.
		Depression is surprisingly rare in MND (around 5–20%) relative to the frequency with which it is found in other, less severe, neurological disorders e.g.

	About MND Text version (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is the name given to a group of diseases in which the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow undergo degeneration and die.
		Because MND is not a common disease, even experienced general practitioners may not have seen a case previously.
		These people work together with those who have personal experience of living with MND and their carers, to provide support and advice based on a wide understanding of the nature of the issues associated with each stage of the disease.

		Motor Neurone Disease [MND] is a neurodegenerative disease resulting in progressive weakness of voluntary muscles throughout the body.
		Management of the patient with MND therefore must focus on supporting the patient and their family, physically and emotionally through this disease.
		The diagnostic process in MND is often long and many patients have suffered a period of stressful uncertainty leading up to the diagnosis.

	Motor Neuron Diseases Information Page: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		Characteristic symptoms of MND include gradual weakening, wasting away, and uncontrollable twitching of the muscles; spasticity or stiffness in the arms and legs; and overactive tendon reflexes.
		MND occur in adults and children, and are more common in men than in women.
		Inherited forms of MND are caused by genetic mutations or deletions that cause degeneration of motor neurons.

		Reduced charges and tariffs are available to some MND patients and their carers who receive Centrelink benefits, or who experience financial difficulty.
		Mobility Allowance — a Centrelink benefit available for MND patients who are unable to use public transport and who are engaged in employment, training or volunteer work for a minimum of ten hours per week.
		As most people with MND remain at home, the needs of the whole family, and particularly of the primary care-giver, must be taken into account.

		As I sit there I feel a little envious because as they mention their condition there is instant recognition from our audience whereas unfortunately because MND lacks public awareness I had to explain what MND is. They then explain about the large support mechanisms and Associations in place to assist them.
		MND is a terminal degenerative disease of the nervous system with no known cause or cure, most frequently diagnosed in people over 50 years of age.
		But the MND Scrapbook remains a hugely articulate and helpful ambassador from the heart of the experience of living with increasing disability.

		Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a group of related diseases affecting the motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord.
		Some surveys indicate that 50% of MND patients may be living three years after diagnosis, 10% after 10 years and some live for more than 20 years.
		MND usually has no impact at all on intellect or memory.

		If you have MND yourself, you’ll still want to take a look but do tell your friends and family about it — it’ll stop you having to answer all those pesky questions over and over again.
		If you do have MND there is a lot of information on the web already and most of it is far more medically orientated than our site.
		So, someone with MND will still be able to cry from laughter at something really funny, but they may not be able to wipe away the tears.

	MND Warns Taiwan of Beijing's Information War [Free Republic]
		The MND's remarks come as tension between the two sides of the strait remains high following President Lee Teng-hui's redefinition of Taiwan-mainland ties as a "special state-to-state relationship" in a July 9 interview with the Germany-based Deutche Welle radio station.
		In addition to verbal attacks and military intimidation, ranking MND officials said mainland China is also waging a propaganda war by spreading groundless rumors through the media and the Internet to erode Taiwan's confidence, evident in the dozen government-run websites which have been infiltrated by mainland-based hackers who replaced the original data with pro-Beijing propaganda.
		Although the definition of "information warfare" remains in dispute, ranking MND officials said it is widely agreed that the term refers to any move which uses computer technology, either to protect one's own data or deface that of the enemy.

		But, like many things, glutamate has to be present in the right amount to work: Too little leads to a lack of signalling, too much to the death of the nerve cells that receive the signal.
		Evidence from studies of people with MND points to an overabundance of glutamate in the nervous system.
		Some researchers are now of the opinion that Riluzole, the only approved drug used in the treatment of MND, may not be targeted at the best area of the brains nerve cells to control the toxic glutamate.
