Abstract:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease involving both the upper and lower motor neuron diseases. In this review, we studied and compared different articles regarding the electrodiagnostic criteria for diagnosis of lower motor neuron pathology in ALS. We reviewed the most recent articles and metaanalysis regarding various lower motor neuron electrodiagnostic methods for ALS and their sensitivities. We concluded that Awaji Shima criteria is by far the most sensitive criteria for diagnosis of ALS.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
