Do you know the different 7 stages of ALS disease? If your loved one is suffering from this condition, knowing these various stages can help them prepare for what is coming next. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a frightening condition that no one wishes to have. Physical changes that may happen with ALS might cause trouble keeping the mouth clean. You can contact this clinic to help ALS patient and other special patients to address their dental needs and get relief from this concern. In any case, this article will explore the different stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, including its early symptoms.

ALS diagnosis is one of the devastating news a person could ever receive.

Early ALS Symptoms Stories: Untold From ALS Patients

Early ALS symptoms stories differ from one patient to another. Each patient has their version of how they are diagnosed with ALS, how they live with ALS symptoms, and how it affects the people surrounding them. The symptoms of ALS may include difficulties in speech, swallowing, and salivation that can cause mouth problems. Given this point, people living with ALS can prevent these dental issues by maintaining good oral health. Every individual has to practice proper dental hygiene, with or without ALS.

ALS physical therapy can help patients learn to adjust and cope up with their physical disabilities. With the use of this therapy, patients gain chances of maximizing what they can do at present. They can even go to a remedial massage therapist. These therapists know how to locate the source of muscle pain and treat it effectively. However, how does physical therapy address ALS? That we will find out as we go along this article. Before we get to that part, let us first know a few details about ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Come and join me!

Hypertension-induced neurovascular and cognitive dysfunction at single-cell resolution 11/14/2025

Hypertension is a major cause of cognitive decline, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Using scRNA-seq in an angiotensin II mouse model, Schaeffer and Pacholko identify early endothelial, interneuron, and oligodendrocyte vulnerability linked to angiotensin II signaling, revealing molecular pathways that drive later neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment in hypertension.

Conceptual and methodological flaws undermine claims of a link between the gut microbiome and autism 11/13/2025

Claims that the gut microbiome causally contributes to autism regularly appear in the scientific literature and popular press. Mitchell et al. critically examine influential studies underpinning these claims and find them conceptually and methodologically flawed.

Globally patterned locus coeruleus-norepinephrine neuron-pericyte coupling orchestrates brain-wide vascular dynamics 11/12/2025

Through whole-brain neurovascular imaging in larval zebrafish, Sun and Peng et al. show that the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system orchestrates globally patterned pericyte activities through complementary direct NE and indirect glia-relayed actions. Such LC-NE neuron-pericyte coupling exerts global vasoconstrictive drives that coordinate blood flow and support sustained behavioral performance.
