Multiple Sclerosis And Guillain Barre Syndrome

The two conditions I found that were similar are the Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis. I chose these two illnesses, because they are both forms of demyelination and are both different diagnosis. - The patients who have Guillain-Barre syndrome may look fatigued and in pain. This patient would most likely complain of body aches, weakness in the lower limbs before the upper limbs, feel extremely tired, and may be unable to walk. GBS can be diagnosed to patients more than once. So, in their

Guillain- Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare, but very fatal auto- immune disease that specifically focuses on attacking the myelin sheath that surrounds the peripheral nerves in the human body. There are many different severities of this disease, but without treatment it can not only affect the entire nervous system but eventually shut down the rest of the body. The myelin sheath is a fatty substance that surrounds the axons of the nerves and provides protection. It allows messages to be sent rapidly

Living with an autoimmune neurological disease has serious implications for the patients’ health and quality of life. The physical disability aspect of multiple sclerosis (MS) is only one of the aspects that impair their quality of life. Practical aid such as walking sticks, wheelchair, car conversions and alterations to the house may be needed for patients experiencing muscle weakness, numbness, loss of coordination and balance.

system begins trying to fight “the virus” off. The immune system believes that what it is doing is working, and the body becomes immune to that strand of the virus. This would make someone believe that the flu shot works very well; however, there are multiple new mutations each year. In addition to that, viruses do not die, so if someone comes in contact with a new mutation or an old mutation, the current shot will not protect that person because it is only good for the circulating virus, not past viruses

flu vaccine in the United States (U.S.) (CDC,2012). According to National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), as of July 2012 there have been more than 84,000 reports of adverse reactions, 1000 vaccine related deaths and over 1600 cases of Guillain- Barre syndrome, a acute form of paralysis, triggered by the vaccine (NVIC.ORG). A problem exists in the

they can damage or badly hurt their immune system. Children are better off being able to fight off the virus by natural immunity than by artificial immunity. Auto immune disorders can be caused by vaccines. Some disorders include arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and other disorders (Tishler, Shoenfeld 13) By putting one's self in risk of getting one of these disorders one is going to have a lot more health problems than before they got vaccinated. An auto-immune disorder is when the immune system

Lethargy 1. A lowered level of consciousness, with drowsiness, listlessness, and apathy. Lethargy is a fairly imprecise description of the feeling or slowness, sluggishness, tiredness, or lack of energy. Lethargy in common usage may mean many things, including fatigue, drowsiness (sleepiness), lethargy, tiredness, malaise, listlessness, or weakness (including muscular weakness). The causes of these other similar symptoms also need to be investigated in researching a symptom of lethargy. Nevertheless

Papaya (PawPaw) is a sweet and succulent fruit found in tropical climates around the world. Its health benefits are many; it is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, lycopene, beta-carotene and other vital nutrients. Many cultures successfully use the leaf, seeds, skin and pulp of this miraculous fruit for various diseases, infections and skin conditions. Today, researchers and scientists throughout the medical community are stepping up the investigation into the health benefits of papaya leaf (pawpaw

on a scale of decreasing neurological deterioration. Three figures are obtained in each section, which add up to a maximum score of 15 and a minimum of three. 7.8.2. I used this assessment tool on a patient who had suffered from a multiple sclerosis relapse. Their GCS score was 15 throughout their stay in hospital, therefore showing no improvement or deterioration. Evidence shows this assessment tool lacks reliability and accuracy; there have been reported differences

INTRODUCTION Epstein-Barr virus was first discovered in 1964 by Sir Michael Anthony Epstein and Ms. Yvonne Barr. They located it in a Burkitt lymphoma cell line. It was the first virus to be associated with cancer. Infection of Epstein-Barr (EBV) is extremely widespread. The National Institutes of Health estimates that roughly 95% of people carry the virus. The virus was later found to cause infectious mononucleosis. Mononucleosis has since been nicknamed the “kissing disease”. Transmission
