Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Upper Motor Neuron Dominant Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
brain sciences Review Upper Motor Neuron Disorders: Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Upper Motor Neuron Dominant Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Timothy Fullam and Jeffrey Statland * Department of Neurology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas, KS 66160, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Following the exclusion of potentially reversible causes, the differential for those patients presenting with a predominant upper motor neuron syndrome includes primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), or upper motor neuron dominant ALS (UMNdALS). Differentiation of these disorders in the early phases of disease remains challenging. While no single clinical or diagnostic tests is specific, there are several developing biomarkers and neuroimaging technologies which may help distinguish PLS from HSP and UMNdALS. Recent consensus diagnostic criteria and use of evolving technologies will allow more precise delineation of PLS from other upper motor neuron disorders and aid in the targeting of potentially disease-modifying therapeutics.

Dissociated Leg Muscle Atrophy in Amyotrophic Lateral
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Dissociated leg muscle atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/ motor neuron disease: the ‘split‑leg’ sign Young Gi Min1,4, Seok‑Jin Choi2,4, Yoon‑Ho Hong3, Sung‑Min Kim1, Je‑Young Shin1 & Jung‑Joon Sung1* Disproportionate muscle atrophy is a distinct phenomenon in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); however, preferentially afected leg muscles remain unknown. We aimed to identify this split‑leg phenomenon in ALS and determine its pathophysiology. Patients with ALS (n = 143), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA, n = 36), and age‑matched healthy controls (HC, n = 53) were retrospectively identifed from our motor neuron disease registry. We analyzed their disease duration, onset region, ALS Functional Rating Scale‑Revised Scores, and results of neurological examination. Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB), abductor hallucis (AH), and tibialis anterior (TA) were reviewed. Defned by CMAPEDB/CMAPAH (SIEDB) and CMAPTA/CMAPAH (SITA), respectively, the values of split‑leg indices (SI) were compared between these groups. SIEDB was signifcantly reduced in ALS (p < 0.0001) and PMA (p < 0.0001) compared to the healthy controls (HCs). SITA reduction was more prominent in PMA (p < 0.05 vs. ALS, p < 0.01 vs. HC), but was not signifcant in ALS compared to the HCs. SI was found to be signifcantly decreased with clinical lower motor neuron signs (SIEDB), while was rather increased with clinical upper motor neuron signs (SITA). Compared to the AH, TA and EDB are more severely afected in ALS and PMA patients. Our fndings help to elucidate the pathophysiology of split‑leg phenomenon. -

Maintenance of muscle strength and mass as aging occurs will greatly improve these functions and promote independent living and longevity. It is well known that men and women are not comparable in strength or absolute muscle mass after adolescence. In adulthood, when strength is expressed relative to mass, the disparity tends to be smaller, therefore, the primary aim of this study was to identify sex-related differences in muscle quality, defined as the upper and lower body strength relative to muscle mass of the upper and lower body, respectively, in older men and women. METHODS: Seventeen men [mean ą SD: age (years): 69.1 ą 6.6; height (cm): 177.4 ą 7.5; weight (kg): 84.0 ą 14.5] and 17 age-matched women [age (years): 68.9 ą 6.4; height (cm): 159.4 ą 7.9; weight (kg): 71.0 ą 12.8] completed maximal bench press and leg press to assess strength and underwent a full-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan to quantify arm lean mass and leg lean mass. -

Split Hand Phenomenon: an Early Marker for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia ORIGINAL ARTICLE Split hand phenomenon: An early marker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Javier A. Galnares-Olalde1, Juan C. López-Hernández2*, Jorge de Saráchaga-Adib1, Roberto Cervantes-Uribe2, and Edwin S. Vargas-Cañas2 1Department of Neurology, Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía Manuel Velasco Suárez, Mexico City, Mexico; 2Department of Neuromuscular Disease, Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía Manuel Velasco Suárez, Mexico City, Mexico Abstract Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease characterized by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Time from symptom onset to confirmed diagnosis has been reported from 8 to 15 months in ALS. Objectives: To describe the frequency of the split hand phenomenon and propose it as an early biomarker for ALS diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective, analytical, descriptive, and single-center observational study was performed. The split hand ratio was determi- ned by dividing distal abductor pollicis brevis/abductor digit minimi compound muscle action potentials; a result < 0.6 was considered present. Results: Fifty-four patients with ALS diagnosis were included in the study. The split hand ratio was identified in 61.5% of patients with definite ALS, in 68.7% with probable ALS, 80% with possible ALS, and in 50% with sus- pected ALS. The split hand phenomenon was identified in 60% of patients within 12 months of symptom onset. Conclusion: We provide evidence for an additional neurophysiological tool that helps early diagnosis of ALS. Key words: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Motor neuron disease. Split hand phenomenon.
