need info on ALS!

[qx02197 at inet.d48.lilly.com]

My step father-in-law was recently diagnosed
with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or
Lou Gehrig's Disease).  Can anyone point me to
recent review articles dealing with ALS etiology,
treatment, prognosis, etc.?  Also, any info
directed at non-scientists would be appreciated, 
since I plan to forward the material on to my
step father-in-law.  Thanks for any info that
may be forthcoming.
