Hopeless diseases are often widely promoted on the web, as being hopeless. I never agree with such assessments.
Information on this and other pages may have been copied from other sources. The assertion is made, here, that the use of this information does not not constituted violation of the laws of copyright, in part because of the doctrine of fair comment, about a public entity or person and by a investigative researcher and author. This page presents information about MSA. This page, and other pages referring to it, comment fairly about MSA as a hopeless disease. I do not agree. That is the opinion of Karl Loren, voiced in these pages.
What
is multiple system atrophy?
Multiple system
atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative
disease marked by a combination of
symptoms affecting movement, blood
pressure, and other body functions;
hence the label "multiple system"
atrophy. The cause of MSA is unknown.
What are the various forms of MSA?
Symptoms of MSA vary in distribution,
onset and severity from person to
person. Because of this, three
different diseases were initially
described to encompass this range of
symptoms: Shy-Drager syndrome,
striatonigral degeneration, and
olivopontocerebellar atrophy.
In Shy-Drager syndrome, the most prominent symptoms are those involving the autonomic system, the body system that regulates blood pressure, urinary function, and other functions not involving conscious control. Striatonigral degeneration causes parkinsonian symptoms such as slowed movements and rigidity, while olivopontocerebellar atrophy principally affects balance, coordination, and speech.
These diseases are now considered forms of MSA.
What are the symptoms of MSA?
MSA can cause a wide range of
symptoms, including:
What are the complications of
MSA?
MSA progresses over the course of
several years to cause more
widespread and severe symptoms.
Orthostatic hypotension can cause
fainting and falls. Loss of
coordination, slowed movements, and
rigidity can interfere with
activities of daily living. Some
patients with MSA have mild loss of
cognitive abilities, with impairments
in attention and speed of thinking.
Are there any treatments for
MSA?
A number of drugs can be used to
treat the various symptoms of MSA,
although they become less effective
as the disease progresses.
