Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system‚ affecting the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 400‚000 people in the United States alone. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 40 years of age and is more common in women; men may have a more severe progressive course (Luzzio‚ 2013). Life expectancy is shortened in persons with MS‚ and the survival rate is linked to disability

Multiple regression‚ a time-honored technique going back to Pearson’s 1908 use of it‚ is employed to account for (predict) the variance in an interval dependent‚ based on linear combinations of interval‚ dichotomous‚ or dummy independent variables. Multiple regression can establish that a set of independent variables explains a proportion of the variance in a dependent variable at a significant level (through a significance test of R2)‚ and can establish the relative predictive importance

in the cell’s DNA. DNA is transcribed into RNA‚ which is then translated into protein. When one gene is mutated‚ one protein is affected (usually disabled). But‚ the analysis of human genome (and many “higher” eukaryotes) suggests that in general‚ multiple proteins arise from each gene in humans as a result of alternative splicing (will discuss in later lecture). • • Differences Between RNA and DNA • RNA contains ribose‚ rather than deoxyribose (difference of a single oxygen). • RNA uses

November 15‚ 2007 Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the optic nerves. In MS‚ the myelin sheath‚ a fatty tissue that surrounds and protects nerve fibers‚ is damaged. Inflammation also occurs which further destroys the sheath and eventually the nerves that it encompasses. This leads to areas of multiple scarring or sclerosis which can slow down or even block nerve

Assignment: Classroom Management Paper June 6‚ 2010 Aaronita J Morgan AED/200 Instructor: Junett Johnston The principles of behaviorism can be useful in facilitating learning within the classroom.
