Motor neuron disease.
Open accessAbstract
For neurologists, the management of motor neuron disease (MND) involves prompt and accurate diagnosis; an understanding of nat- ural history, prognosis, and of the physical and psychological consequences of the dis- ease for the individual and for carers; famil- iarity with the techniques, philosophies, and ethical aspects of symptomatic treatment, rehabilitation medicine and palliative care; and awareness of the new opportunities for research into the causes and treatment of MND and other motor neuron disorders.Because MND is a relatively rare condition for most health workers, the neurologist can make an important contribution to effective multidisciplinary management.Underpro- vision of neurology services militates against this in the United Kingdom.Nevertheless, an argument can be made that MND be treated as a "special case" and that health districts should develop appropriate models of inter- disciplinary care, not necessarily led, but advised and supported by, local neurologists.OPCA = olivopontocerebellar atrophy; SAP = sensory action potential; EM = electron microscopy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
