Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease. It is the most common chronic Central Nervous System disease among young adults in the United States, with an estimated 1.3 million people worldwide (Heine, M., Rietberg, M. B., Wegen, E. E., Port, I. V., & Kwakkel, G., 2012) . MS has several forms and a variety of symptoms. One of the most common forms of MS is relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). RRMS is a type of MS that has periods of flared symptoms, followed by a time of…

Tay Sachs Disease is a genetic disorder where the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cords are destroyed. Although anyone can carry this genetic mutation, it is most common of people with Ashkenazi Jewish background. Approximately 1 in every 27 of their population carries the gene for Tay Sachs. The gene mutation that can cause Tay Sachs is the HEXA gene. The chromosome that contains the gene is chromosome 15. At least one or both HEXA needs to be active so that so that the body can produce…

Each intervention included a passage with 8 multiple choice questions and either a story map or SWBST graphic organizer to be filled out while reading. Three of the six interventions will be with a story map and the other three will be with a SWBST graphic organizer. After reading, the students must…

the studies of Jean-Martin Charcot, he named the disease that would eventually become known as “Multiple Sclerosis”. Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is an autoimmune disease that makes your body attack the covering of the axons of the nerves, known as the myelin sheath, in the brain and along the spinal cord. This can cause a disruption in the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. ("Multiple Sclerosis Information Page.") This can lead to generalized pain, visual…

This proposal is driven by a specific clinical scenario- the patient with orthodontic appliances (braces) undergoing MRI of the brain in whom the ferromagnetic braces result in significant degradation in B0 homogeneity and cause significant signal loss in regions immediately adjacent to the oral cavity (e.g. facial structures and orbits) as well as image distortion over variable portions of the brain. These image distortions are most pronounced at the base of the brain, the brainstem, and the…

In this study, the following terms were conceptually defined to improve the understanding of this research work. Sarcoidosis. The universal definition of this term is “a chronic disease of unknown cause characterized by the enlargement of lymph nodes in many parts of the body and the widespread appearance of granulomas derived from the reticuloendothelial system.” In the context of this research, this is the disease being focused on. Neurosarcoidosis. The dictionary defined the…

The human body contains a bundle of nerves which serve as a communication board for the motor functions of the body, as well as its sensory system (F. Sarhan, D. Saif, A. Saif, 2013). The spinal cord encompasses 31 different nerves (F. Sarhan, D. Saif, A. Saif, 2013). When there is damage to one or any of the spinal cord nerves, this can comprise the relay of the motor and sensory messages coming to and from the brain, causing major deficits in these areas (F. Sarhan, D. Saif, A. Saif, 2013).…

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease. According to Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2009), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) can be defined as a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration and death of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. In other words, it is a disease that attacks the cells responsible for controlling the muscle action we…

Multiple Sclerosis is a lifelong disease , more common in the young adult region. Multiple sclerosis is a disease of unknown cause that affects the nervous system . It can affect your vision , strength , coordination , speech , bladder control , sensation , or other faculties concerned with the eyes , brain , or spinal cord . Both men and women are affected in these cases one gender is not only attacked . The severity of problems that occur…

This exam is made up of a mix of True\False questions, Fill in the Blank questions and Multiple Choice questions. The results of this exam will allow the facilitator to know whether or not the students have understood what was being taught. They will also be able to decide if something needs to be change in their teaching methods if the results…
