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).

But worldwide‚ the incidence of multiple pregnancies of all types - twins‚ triplets‚ quadruplets‚ quinteplets

The multiple realizability thesis says that there is more than one way to create a specific mental experience. An alternative way to state this is to say that widely different physical systems can have the same mental experience. The implied consequence is that it is the function of the physical system that is causal to the mental experience‚ an idea I will refer to as functionalism. Historically‚ the concept of multiple realizability facilitated the move from identity theory to functionalism. Functionalism

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

One of the relatively easier ones is what clothes to wear every day. Selecting what to wear each day can be a horrific‚ time-consuming

Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune‚ is a chronic‚ often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS)‚ which is made up of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild‚ such as numbness in the limbs‚ or severe‚ such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress‚ severity‚ and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today‚ new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by

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
