Citando (sobre a MND):
"Motor neurone disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare condition that progressively damages parts of the nervous system.
it is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease after the condition was named after the US baseball player when he was diagnosed in 1939 at just 36 years old.
It occurs when specialist nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord called motor neurones stop working properly - known as neurodegeneration.
Life expectancy for about half of those with the condition is three years from the start of symptoms.
However, some people may live for up to 10 years, and in rarer circumstances even longer.
The condition can affect adults of all ages, including teenagers, although this is extremely rare.
It's usually diagnosed in people over 40, but most people with the condition first develop symptoms in their 60s. It affects slightly more men than women.
There's currently no cure for motor neurone disease.
Treatment aims to make the person feel comfortable and have the best quality of life possible
It also tries to compensate for the progressive loss of bodily functions such as mobility, communication, swallowing and breathing."
