Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a . MSA is associated with the
degeneration of nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. This
cell degeneration causes problems with movement, balance and other
autonomic functions of the body such as bladder control or blood
pressure regulation. The cause of MSA is unknown and no specific
risk factors have been identified.Around 55% of cases occur in men,
with typical age of onset in the late 50s to early 60s. Diagnosis
of MSA can be challenging because there is no test that can
definitively make or confirm the diagnosis in a living patient.
Certain signs and symptoms of MSA also occur with other disorders,
such as Parkinson's disease, making the diagnosis more difficult.

Center, which operates it in coordination with the Minneapolis Park
and Recreation Board. It is one of the largest urban sculpture
gardens in the country, with 40 permanent art installations and

periodically. The park is also in proximity to Loring Park and the

had been used for military drills. It became known as the Armory
Gardens after park superintendent Theodore Wirth created a formal
