Is beneficial vascular risk profile associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Vascular risk factors, measured clinically and biochemically, were not associated with increased ALS. Instead, patients reported less use of cholesterol-lowering medication and had a lower premorbid BMI and favourable lipid profile-all findings consistent with the hypothesis that a higher metabolic rate plays a role in ALS.
The degree of AS tear measured intrapartum was the most important factor related to AI after primary repair of OASIS. PFM strength was associated with lower incontinence symptoms in the postpartum period.
