ALS, the muscle wasting disease of ice bucket challenge fame, is sometimes genetic, sometimes sporadic, but sometimes pops up in clusters. One such cluster in a little skiing village in France unnerved the local GP - and was eventually pinned on false morel mushrooms.

A devastating nerve disease stalks a mountain village.

Neurologists have grappled with a cluster of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases in France, where a fondness for a toxic wild mushroom may hold the answer.

Very slick new use for the AVP

Mark, a 64-year old man with #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis (#ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on the #Apple #VisionPro when he played Solitaire, watched #AppleTV and sent text messages using the #Synchron brain computer interface, hands-free. Mark is otherwise unable to use the #AppleVisionPro due to the loss of function of his upper limbs. Apple Vision Pro requires hand gestures to make item selections.

The FDA has approved Biogen's ALS drug, Tofersen, an antisense oligo targeting SOD1. I wrote about this back in September in my Clinical Pipeline column as part of a shift towards approving drugs based on biomarkers without clear signs of clinical efficacy*.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41591-022-00098-w

*You can have a look at the trial data in NEJM, in a study that concluded that "In persons with SOD1 ALS, tofersen reduced concentrations of SOD1 in CSF and of neurofilament light chains in plasma over 28 weeks but did not improve clinical end points and was associated with adverse events."
