Abstract

Individuals are employing silver nanoparticles in a wide range of medications, scientific studies and medical devices, which necessitates more study in order to understand the long-term implications of exposure. It is not always possible to avoid exposure to silver nanoparticles if they are spread across a large area, such as an industrial site. Silver nanoparticles can be inhaled, ingested, or interact with the skin. People's health is impacted by several aspects, including how much exposure (how much), how long they have had it (how long it is been), what form of exposure they have used, what other chemicals present in the environment (such pesticides), and how healthy they are at the time of exposure. Toxicology following exposure to silver in a variety of ways necessitates additional investigation, even though several studies have already been published (AgNPs).

Abstract

Motor neuron diseases are a group of chronic sporadic and hereditary neurological disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. These might affect the upper motor neurons, lower motor neurons, or both. The prognosis of the motor neuron disease depends upon the age at onset and the area of the central nervous system affected. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been documented to be fatal within three years of onset. This activity focuses on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as the prototype of MND, which affects both the upper and the lower motor neurons and discusses the role of inter-professional team in the differential diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and prognostication. It also discusses various other phenotypes of MND with an emphasis on their distinguishing features in requisite detail.   Keywords: ALS, MND, PMA, PLS
