Respiratory failure
-
Pneumonia
-
Cardiac failure
-
Endocarditis
-
Lung cancer

-
ubiquitin
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
How are reflexes affected by ALS?
Respuesta

-
Patients have hyporeflexia due to the LMN degeneration
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
[blank_start]Kennedy's[blank_end] Disease is an X-linked recessive condition of the motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. Degeneration of these structures leads to weakness and muscle cramps. It is commonly misdiagnosed as ALS.
