That is why SOIS are inevitably patterning systems. ❖ Patterning systems are highly effective and they have certain immense advantages. These advantages arise directly from the nature of the system. ❖ But this same nature also gives rise to certain disadvantages or limitations

Thesis Statement Multiple Sclerosis is mainly an inflammatory disorder of the brain and spinal cord in which central lymphocytic permeation leads to harm of the myelin scabbard and axons. Initially‚ inflammation is temporary and re-myelination occurs but is not long-lasting. Hence‚ the early course of disease is characterized by occurrences of neurological dysfunction that usually recover. However‚ over time the pathological alterations start to take over by widespread microglia activation

M What is multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord resulting in loss of muscle control‚ vision‚ balance‚ and sensation. In the U.S. one in 1‚000 people have MS. Did you know that there are four types of MS. The first one is Relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis in which the patient has relapses or episodes of the disease. Slightly over 80% of those suffering from multiple sclerosis begin with this type. The second one is Secondary progressive MS usually a second stage

Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis [MS] is a chronic‚ autoimmune‚ inflammatory‚ neurodegenerative condition of the central nervous system [CNS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011) characterized by demyelination and axonal loss (Chastain‚ Duncan‚ Rodgers & Miller‚ 2011). MS expresses itself in 4 forms: relapsing remitting MS [RRMS]‚ secondary progressive MS [SPMS]‚ primary progressive MS [PPMS]‚ and progressive relapsing MS [PRMS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011).

MS frequency of occurrence is rare. Only afflicts about 10% currently about 400‚000 in the United States and 1 million worldwide. The disease basically takes one of four potential directions once established. Relapsing remitting involves about 85% of those affected.

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 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 signaling that
