Milano (2005) states that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease people live with for 30 to 40 years. That is a long time to be living with a disease so incapacitating. Many people do not know about Multiple Sclerosis and its effects on the individuals with this debilitating disease. Further insight will be given on the causes‚ prevalence‚ racial disparity‚ treatments‚ research‚ funding‚ and future studies. According to the Institute of Medicine‚ Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic‚ inflammatory‚ demyelinating

This essay focuses on a patient encountered in clinical practice with the chronic long term condition multiple sclerosis (MS). The National Service Framework for Long Term Conditions (2005) defines a long term condition (LTC) as one which is incurable but manageable with therapeutic interventions.

The patient is a 62 year old Caucasian female who had a partial obstruction in the carotid artery on the right side for over two years and had a stroke in the right hemisphere 6 months ago. The main common carotid artery splits into the external carotid artery and the internal carotid artery. The external carotid artery supplies blood to the exterior features outside of the skull‚ primarily the exterior of the face and the neck. The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the interior of the skull

Multiple sclerosis has conquered the lives of many of its victims‚ one of which includes Nancy Mairs. However‚ Mairs writes an essay describing her experience with the disease and how it has not affected her negatively‚ as society assumes about the disease’s effects. Mairs does not write her essay to make her audience feel pity for her disease‚ yet writes to allow people to be more accepting of the disease and of people that have it. She incorporates the word “cripple” to describe the strength MS

PLANNING: - Title: - An Experiment to investigate the lateral displacement of a ray of light through a rectangular block of a transparent material. Aim: - To investigate the lateral displacement for different angles and how the displacement depends on the angle of incidence when a ray of light enters the Perspex block. Scientific Background: - Refraction occurs when the speed changes when the lights travels from one medium to another medium. If the light travels from a medium to a denser medium
