Join us tomorrow at the ALS digital healthcare technology working group in Basel with a special focus on activity tracking #alsmndsymp #encals @TRICALS_cureALS Chris McDermott



New paper about measuring body composition in people with #ALS #MND. Simple impedance provided a good estimate of fat-free mass. This could be valuable to better differentiate cause of weight loss and be an alternative for muscle strength testing in trials tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…




New open-access paper Neurology Journal about factors that influence trial participation in #ALS #MND #AD #HD #PD clinical trials. These results will hopefully help to stimulate participation, better inform patients, and facilitate patient-centric approaches neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…



In the latest DEI blog, authors Weemering and Ruben van Eijk discuss barriers to inclusive clinical trial participation for neurodegenerative diseases and potentially modifiable factors to increase underrepresented patient populations. bit.ly/4d5msB1 #NeuroTwitter

Our study on the safety and tolerability of Trimetazidine in #ALS @BrainComms Trimetazidine reduced oxidative stress markers and energy expenditure, warranting a follow up study. Ruben van Eijk Derik Steyn Ammar Al-Chalabi academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv…

P A van Eijk et al. report that a trimetazidine trial for ALS showed it was safe and well-tolerated. It reduced oxidative stress markers and resting energy expenditure, suggesting potential for further study. Read at:buff.ly/HNd3No6 Ruben van Eijk Derik Steyn @AmmarAlChalab
