The neurological disease I chose to write about is Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis hits very close to home because 5 years ago my grandmother was diagnosed and the disease has sparked my interest ever since. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system that causes inflammation and destruction of the brain and spinal cord. It is considered “immune-mediated” because the body’s immune system attacks the central nervous system (Braley‚ Chervin). The target

History Multiple Sclerosis was first recognized as a specific disorder in 1873 in England. By the end of the century‚ after careful observation‚ most of the symptoms and some causes were known. In MS the immune system attacks the myelin of the bone that covers the nerve fibers. The MS can also attack nerve cell bodies which are located in the brain‚ it specifically influences the spinal cord‚ brain‚ and optic nerve. This then causes difficulties in communication between the brain and the rest

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which your immune system attacks the protective covering of the nerves. The disease will disable the brain and the central nervous system. The main purpose of the disease is to attack the myelin; the myelin covers the nerve fibers. During the attack communication between the brain and the body is lost. In the end‚ the nerves will begin to be permanently damaged. The cause of the disease is yet to be found. Most common in people between ages fifty to sixty. Women

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease that disables the central nervous system including the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral nervous system. This disease is disabling and emotionally devastating to the person. Ultimately‚ it’s considered an autoimmune disease which means the body’s immune system attacks itself‚ causing damage to the myelin sheath‚ which covers the nerve fibers. This causes problems with the body’s communication between the brain and the nerves in rest of the body

Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary from each individual and are dependent on the location of the affected nerve fibers. Common symptoms include: numbness and weakness that occurs in one or more limbs and usually occurs on only one side of the body at a time‚ partial or complete loss of vision in usually one eye‚ pain with eye movements‚ double vision that lasts for a long period of time‚ fatigue‚ slurred speech‚ tremors‚ unsteady gait‚ tingling or pain throughout body‚ problems with bowel

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

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).
