Multiple myeloma

The amount of surgical errors in medicine has steadily increased. One reason for this escalation can be linked back to a decline in anatomical knowledge (12,24). Without anatomical knowledge, vital roles within health and medical fields cannot exist. Lack of anatomical knowledge prevents accurate diagnosis, treatment, and hinders the essential skill in medicine to locate, describe, and relate structures (3,14,22). Utilizing cadaver based labs in undergraduate programs is essential for…

Studying is one of those things that each person does differently. In my past I have found that I work best with diagrams and pictures for studying since I am a very visual learner. I have also used list and steps or rewriting my notes to help me study. In classes like anatomy and microbiology; diagrams, pictures, and videos have always helped me study processes or steps. Science classes happen to be most of my classes since I am a nursing major so I am using diagrams a lot. When I am taking my…

The human brain is a fascinating yet complex notion to grasp for the majority of people. Only a handful of individuals have truly discovered the many intricate components of the mind; however, even they still have a long way to go before they can absorb the infinite miracles of the brain. It is for this reason that people fail to maximize their full potential while trying to learn new material, recall old information, or apply newly learned knowledge. In the University Lecture Series 2015, Dr.…

means that, although the symptoms of the disease may be managed, it will never go away completely. Multiple sclerosis is one of these treatable but incurable diseases. Even with treatment, a person diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will always experience some degree of disability. What is multiple sclerosis? How does it present itself? How can it be treated? These questions will be answered. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the central nervous system (Macallister, 2013). It is…

Multiple Sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease. This immune mediated process is directed towards the central nervous system. Through this process it causes the immune system to surround and attack the myelin around the nerve fibers in the body of the victim. Once this myelin has been stripped from the nerve endings, it is very hard for it to regenerate or repair itself. These attacks against the body interrupts and distorts nerve impulses traveling to the brain. MS is a common name for…

Regardless of why an assessment is taken, participants are able to use these assessments as a way to learn more about themselves. Personal Thoughts and Feelings Surveys are tools that need to be used correctly, you will get out what you put in, and multiple assessments should be taken to give a more accurate picture of personality, goals, and possible career paths. The surveys provided…

There are about 300,000 persons with Multiple Sclerosis in North America. I first heard about MS my first year of college. I read a book named living with MS. It described In great detail how her life was affected by MS and her determination to not let MS define her, So what is MS? MS, is also known as multiple sclerosis. It is the degeneration of the myelin sheet; it’s a disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the passage way of information inside the brain, and between…

I gave a good perspective on the subject and got other students involved in the discussion. The second assignment where my performance was better was our single test. Half the test was multiple choice questions on logic, and the other portion was a written essay. I did not get a single point deducted on the multiple choice section. I think that I performed very well on the oral presentation because I was nervous to embarrass myself in front of my peers, which caused me to do great amounts of…

Transferring History Through Generations History happens every day and many monumental moments can happen in one lifetime. In a lifetime, the experiences gained can have a huge effect on how the event is remembered. As time goes on and people get older, plenty of information can be lost. With history being taught to all kids from grade school to college it is interesting to reflect on how well the information is learned and retained. Since history is the main way for us to carry on information…

The motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of progressive neurological disorders that destroy motor neurons, the cells that control essential voluntary muscle activity such as speaking, walking, breathing, and swallowing. Normally, messages from nerve cells in the brain (called upper motor neurons) are transmitted to nerve cells in the brain stem and spinal cord (called lower motor neurons) and from them to particular muscles. Upper motor neurons direct the lower motor neurons to produce…
