Multiple Sclerosis Daniel Phuong Nguyen Dr. David Chen KNES 371 1:00 p.m. December 5, 2015 Word Count: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack myelin sheath causing neurological damage to areas of the brain and causes neurological deterioration. In the brain the myelin sheath is involved with what allows for communication between brain and the body. As the disease progresses the sheath deteriorates the neurons where the myelin sheath

An overview of the chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease: Multiple sclerosis BACKGROUND The central nervous system (CNS) comprises grey matter, which contains neuron cell bodies and white matter, which contains the nerve axons. Most of the nerve axons are concentrically wrapped around by lipid-rich biological membrane, known as the myelin sheath. In the CNS, myelin is produced by oligodendrocyte. a type of glial cell. (Pfeiffer et al., 1993). These electrical insulating, multilamellar membranes

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) a disease which the immune system attacks the protective sheath also known as the myelin that covers the nerves. Damages myelin disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. The nerves itself may weaken, process that is currently irreversible. The causes for multiple sclerosis is unknown. It is an auto immune disease, which the immune system of the body attacks its own tissues. Multiple sclerosis is caused by damage of the myelin sheath. When the

Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory disease that affects myelin, a substance that makes up the myelin sheath, and wraps around nerve fibers or axons. Myelin is necessary for proper functioning of the nervous system. Myelinated axons are commonly called white matter. MS also damages nerve cell bodies which are found in gray matter, as well as the axons themselves in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. (4) As the disease makes progress the brain’s cortex shrinks. Multiple sclerosis refers

Top Three Intelligences By: Sean Mahoney Strategies for the Technical Professional Professor R. Aragon As stated in our reading there a total of 8 multiple intelligences developed by Howard Gardner. Each type of intelligence is not the same for every person. Everyone has their own unique personality and therefore has their own style of learning or retaining information provided to them. There are certain surveys you can take in order to determine where your particular intelligences

Multiple Sclerosis Australia MS(Multiple Sclerosis) is a disease which gradually hardens all tissues and also causes scars. These scars form when the persons immune system's cells go into the central nervous system and cause inflammation to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. MS is also a non contagious and unpredictable disease. MS is also the most common chronic disease (when it comes to the CNS (Central Nervous System)) with young Australians. Throughout all the states of Australia, Victoria

sclerosis​1 Multiple Sclerosis Heather Root DCCC Nursing 211 Multiple Sclerosis ​The purpose of this referenced library paper on multiple sclerosis (MS) is to access and make use of current scientific information to develop and support a plan of nursing care. With this material, multiple sclerosis will be discussed using its pathophysiology and etiology, risk factors, and signs and symptoms. The signs and symptoms that result from the pathophysiology will also be discussed. Multiple sclerosis can

Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating nervous system disease that wreaks havoc on the brain and spinal cord. It causes severe damage to the myelin sheath that covers and protects your nerve cells. The damage to these protective sheaths prevents proper communication between nerve cells and slowing down or preventing communication between your brain and body, which then causes the various symptoms of the disease. Etiology MS is one of many diseases that goes on to be officially idiopathic, though

Multiple Sclerosis is a multifocal demyelinating disease with progressive neurodegeneration caused by an autoimmune response to self-antigens in a genetically susceptible individual (Nylander, 2012). Or, as Brigid Brophy said it, “…the chief curse of the illness...I must ask constant services of people I love most closely...it is an illness accompanied by frustration...it is an illness that inflicts awareness of loss...sporadically it is, in its manifestations, a disgusting disease” (Compston, 2008)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological disorder and the most common non-traumatic causes of disability in young adults (WHO, 2008). MS is a debilitating disease of the central nervous system affecting 400,000 Americans, reaching 2.5 million individuals globally, with 200 new cases diagnosed every week. (Tullman, 2013). The prevalence of MS is third highest in the Americas, with the greatest number of afflicted individuals in Europe (WHO, 2008). The WHO also suggests that MS rates increase
