from Wikipedia:

This MRI (parasagittal FLAIR) demonstrates increased T2 signal within the posterior part of the internal capsule and can be tracked to the subcortical white matter of the motor cortex, outlining the corticospinal tract, consistent with the clinical diagnosis of ALS.

 

 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a form of motor neuron disease caused by the degeneration of neurons located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord and the cortical neurons that provide their efferent input. The condition is often called Lou Gehrig's disease in North America, after the New York Yankees baseball player who was diagnosed with the disease in 1939. The disorder is characterized by rapidly progressive weakness, muscle atrophy and fasciculations, spasticity, dysarthria,dysphagia, and respiratory compromise. Sensory function generally is spared, as is autonomic, and oculomotor activity. ALS is a progressive,^[1] fatal, neurodegenerative disease with most affected patients dying of respiratory compromise and pneumonia after 2 to 3 years; although some perish within a year from the onset of symptoms, and occasional individuals have a more indolent course and survive for many years.^[2]

TEST CASE 

• Name: John
• Nationality : American
• Diagnosed with ALS since November 2010.
• His right arm, hand and fingers and his right leg were paralysed.
• John merely could hold his breath for one second as his lungs were collapsing under the degeneration of the ALS process, when he arrived in Belgium from USA in September 2011.
• The use of the plasma reactor has begun on september 20th, 2011.
• He left Belgium seven weeks later with being able to move his hand and leg and hold his breath for 35 second in November the 12^th of 2011 with just drinking water and being supported by external plasmas reactors technology of the Foundation for a few hours a day for the time he was in Belgium.
• In the first part of this video, John gives his first impressions
• after 3 days use of the of plasma reactors.
