Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It is autoimmune, but is genetically influenced by the environment, such as the Epstein-Barr virus, Vitamin D deficiency, and smoking. However, In 1966, Leibowitz et al first suggested that MS might be associated with high sanitation standards during childhood, but, some studies since then over the so called hygiene hypothesis, that proposes that infections in childhood are protective against…
Multiple sclerosis or MS is basically an enduring disease that causes problems throughout the body. Multiple sclerosis is able to affect the nervous, sensory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, skeletal, reproductive, and circulatory and immune systems.

Abstract The Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease of the central nervous system containing the brain and spinal cord is potentially disabling. With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes a disruption in communication between the brain and the rest of the body. At some point in time, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged. The signs and symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are…
20-40, it is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, and that is multiple sclerosis. According to the national MS Society, multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable and disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. The causes of MS are unknown but it is believed by scientists that infectious agents may play a role. There are many ways to treat multiple sclerosis, such as managing relapses and symptoms,…
This is a summary of article “Treatment of early multiple sclerosis: the value of treatment initiation after a first clinical episode” by DS Goodin and D Bates. In this article, Goodin and Bates defines Multiple Sclerosis as an autoimmune disease, (an inflammatory disorder of the CNS, in which the immune system attacks and eats away the protective covering of the neurons, known as the myelin sheath in the brain and spinal cord, leaving multiple lesions). The damaged neurons cause loss of…
About 400,00 individuals are affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) in the United States and about 2.3 million people worldwide (National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 2002). The majority of symptoms commence between ages 20 and 40, with greater risk for women to be twice as likely to develop the disease (National Institute of Health, 2014). The exact cause of MS is unknown but there research shows there are geographic (people who live further from the equator), genetic, race (Northern European…
history and initial tests performed on this patient conclude that the likely diagnosis is multiple myeloma. Most probably indicators from patients results along with clinical history creating the potential diagnostic are paraesthesia, discomfort and rib fracture. According to Killingsworth et al. (2010) conditions like pain and tingling hands, arms, feet and legs (known as peripheral neuropathy) are present in multiple myeloma patients. FBC results are normal except the eosinophils value which…

This question could be discussed in the changes of evaluation, educational and learning view. First, there were various standpoints before multiple intelligences theory, but the main world recognized…
