The symptoms of multiple sclerosis depend on where the damage occurs. The most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis are fatigue‚ weakness‚ numbness‚ vision problem‚ spasticity‚ bowel problem and otherwise Firstly‚ fatigue for peoples with multiple sclerosis is different from other fatigue‚ it occurs when nerve deteriorated in the spinal column. It occurs suddenly and easily. Even after a good night sleeps they tend to feel tired when wake up in the morning and get worse as the day progresses. They

Multiple Sclerosis is often known as the “great crippler of young adults.” It causes various forms of sensory and motor skill problems as the disease progresses. MS affects a wide variety of people in any age group. MS is a long-term condition. Relapses are common and can last for up to 24 hours and several factors have been identified. There is no known cause for Multiple Sclerosis‚ but that does not stop scientist from trying to figure one out. Multiple Sclerosis is a “chronic inflammatory‚ demyelinating

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

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

ABSTRACT: Many people argued that Multiple Sclerosis is for adults and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis is only for children‚ but studies have shown that that is not the case. MS is usually seen in adults but it can also be seen in children‚ although it is less frequent. MS affecting children under the age of 18 is known as pediatric multiple sclerosis. Many but not all argue that adult MS is the same as pediatric MS; conversely there are many people that could argue that that is not the

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 Human Anatomy and Physiology You pick up the telephone to call your friend. You dial a number which will‚ in effect‚ let the phone know where to send the signals. Except unknown to you‚ something has worn away the rubber which covers and protects the wires within your phone. Some signals cannot get through‚ and the ones that do are unclear. As a result your important information does not get conveyed to your friend.

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 signaling

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).
