How do medical marijuana dispensaries impact the communities around them? Is the result positive or negative? Do they harm or heal? Medical marijuana dispensaries have become more common in today’s world, leaving controversy in their wake. Even though some people believe medical marijuana clinics attract crime, they actually help the communities around them by boosting the economy and benefitting those with medical need. Dispensaries help the local economy in many ways, including creating jobs. More

that it would be nearly impossible to gain any of kind of data from his encounters with the people around thus far. This was due to the fact that he knew he would not be given the time of day to answer such dry questions, especially in the case of multiple choice questions. Asking answerable and direct questions was tough at first for him as an outlier in the community. It wasn’t long until Sudhir realized most of his new friends and subjects didn’t want to relay any information about their own economic

OPTIC NERVE WHAT IS THE OPTIC NERVE? It is the second pair of many cranial nerves that connects the eyes to the brain. The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the vision centers of the brain by using electrical impulses. These impulses are dispatched through the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them as images. Some alternative names that this nerve is called is the second cranial nerve or cranial nerve II. WHAT IS IT MADE OF? Each optic nerve

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating chronic disease where the immune system attacks the myelin sheaths of nerve cells in the central nervous system, affecting more than 400,000 people in the US with about 200 new cases being diagnosed each week (Pietrangelo and Higuera 2014). We still do know what causes MS and although there is no cure, there are several treatments for MS focused on slowing down the progression of the disease and managing symptoms. Although the causes of MS

Tetanus or Tetanus Toxemia, is something that almost all mammals are susceptible to. It is caused by a specific toxin that is produced in Clostridium tentai in necrotic tissue. Of all animals, though, horses sheep, and goat seem to be the most intolerant. Tetanus is usually introduced into the body through a wound, mainly deep puncture, but in some cases like lambs; it can occur through the acts of docking or castration. It cannot grow in regular tissue if the normal oxidation -reduction potential

In adult patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), research has been done to show that in the brain, deep grey matter atrophy (damage or lesions) is measurable even within the first few years after the first attack. The neurodegenerative aspect of Multiple Sclerosis is crippling not only to the central nervous system, but to important brain substructures like the thalamus, putamen, caudate, and globus pallidus (a major part of the basal ganglia) and could lead to a hindering of brain growth

This report will discuss what multiple sclerosis is, symptoms, how it is treated, and much more. Multiple Sclerosis causes demyelination and affects the central nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis is caused by chromosome 6. It is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. Symptoms of this disorder include numbness or weakness in one or more limbs typically on one side of the body or the legs, partial or complete loss of vision, tingling or pain in parts of

Morgan Lippens BIOL252/Banks Lab Report 6 Research Paper November 16, 2015 Multiple Sclerosis Nearly 400,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple sclerosis is defined as “a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord”. (Multiple) Multiple sclerosis is classified as an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks an element of itself, specifically the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes problems with

Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable, potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Multiple Sclerosis can range from relatively benign to disabling to devastating. The disease is considered an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues causing damage to the myelin sheath, which covers the nerve fibers, and causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body and ultimately cause

Worldwide, more than 2.3 million people are currently affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This condition “is a life-long, potentially debilitating disease of the central nervous system (CNS)” (Pasquier, 2014, 537). Specifically, it is a chronic auto-immune disease that attacks the central nervous system. Furthermore, the person’s own immune system does not recognize the neurons and attacks the myelin, and the nerve fibers it covers and protects. The myelin then creates scar tissue which causes damage
