In multiple system atrophy there is damage to autonomous nervous system with degeneration of nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. This cell degeneration causes problems with movement, balance and automatic functions of the body such as bladder control. However, the exact cause of MSA is un...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder presenting glia pathology. Still, disease etiology and pathophysiology are unknown, but neuro-inflammation and vascular disruption may be contributing factors to the disease progression. Here, we performed an ex vivo deep ...
This cohort study investigates the natural course of geographic atrophy enlargement on long-term life expectancy and visual course.
What is the life expectancy of someone with Tourette syndrome? What is the life expectancy of someone with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? How long do people with Rett syndrome live? Is muscular dystrophy an autoimmune disease? What is the difference between muscular dystrophy and muscular atrophy?

Life expectancy after symptom onset is approximately 20 years. In the most symptomatic stages, often lasting over ten years, affected persons become fully dependent upon others to manage all activities of daily living; they lose the ability to make decisions, feed themselves and walk, often ...
Life expectancy can be very short—within minutes or hours of birth (e.g. Edwards’ syndrome (trisomy 18)) – through to the likelihood of death occurring sometime during the childhood years or adulthood (e.g. Duchenne muscular dystrophy; severe cerebral palsy) [18,19,20]. Given the ...
Overall, these findings have led to the proposal that bilingualism may render the brain more resistant to atrophy and prospective age-related disease, either because sufficient neural substrate remains to support normal function (i.e., neural reserve) or because compensatory strategies are employed to...
INTRODUCTION The last 200 years has seen an astonishing increase in human life expectancy in the developed world, with an estimated 30 years added to average life expectancy since the turn of the twentieth century [1]. This increase has been achieved through factors including better diet, c...
