2Motor neurone disease is [blank_start]progressive degeneration[blank_end] of motor neurons. The most affected group is [blank_start]middle aged males[blank_end].
Motor neurons - Upper ones originate in brain, lower ones originate in spinal cord. MND affects [blank_start]both[blank_end] upper and lower. Also know as:
• [blank_start]Lou Gehrig's[blank_end] Disease
• Charcot's Disease (in Europe).
• Amyotrophic Lateral [blank_start]Sclerosis[blank_end] (in US)- Aprogressive degeneration

5Tx for motor neurone disease:
1. Riluzole

Multiple effects on [blank_start]glutamate[blank_end] neurotransmission.
Presynapic: inhibits [blank_start]release[blank_end] - inhibits [blank_start]voltage gated Na+[blank_end] channels
Postsynaptic: prevents [blank_start]action[blank_end] - non competitive [blank_start]blockade of NMDA[blank_end] Rreceptors
Contraindicated: hepatic impairment
Caution: [blank_start]neutropenia[blank_end] (fever, sore-throat, malaise)
2. Endaravone (not available in NZ). First FDA approved MND therapy in [blank_start]22[blank_end] years. Free [blank_start]radical[blank_end] scavenger.- A2-3 months

7Multiple Sclerosis is an [blank_start]autoimmune[blank_end] disorder that affects nerve [blank_start]conduction[blank_end]. There are multiple areas of [blank_start]scarring[blank_end] in the brain, and spinal cord. Inflammation causes relapse. [blank_start]Demyelination and axon damage[blank_end] cause:
Optic neuritis, weakness, spasticity, ataxia, [blank_start]bladder and bowel[blank_end] dysfunction.
Epidemiology:
- Affects 1 in 1000
- [blank_start]Young[blank_end] adults (average age 37 years old)
- [blank_start]Women[blank_end] three times more than men
• [blank_start]Caucasians[blank_end]

8Pathology of MS:
Trigger = [blank_start]peripheral[blank_end] immune response. Primed [blank_start]T and B[blank_end] lymphocytes cross [blank_start]BBB[blank_end]. Upregulation of [blank_start]integrins[blank_end] causes [blank_start]adhesion[blank_end],
Inflammation -
[blank_start]Th1 lymphocytic[blank_end] autoimmune response involving INF-g, IL-17, TNF-b.
[blank_start]B[blank_end] cell mediated [blank_start]antibodies[blank_end] - [blank_start]Initiate[blank_end] myelin destruction
[blank_start]Macrophages[blank_end] -
Destroy myelin [blank_start]sheath[blank_end], damage [blank_start]oligo[blank_end]dendrocytes. Demyelination leads to [blank_start]axon[blank_end] damage- Aperipheral
