Thesis Statement Multiple Sclerosis is mainly an inflammatory disorder of the brain and spinal cord in which central lymphocytic permeation leads to harm of the myelin scabbard and axons. Initially‚ inflammation is temporary and re-myelination occurs but is not long-lasting. Hence‚ the early course of disease is characterized by occurrences of neurological dysfunction that usually recover. However‚ over time the pathological alterations start to take over by widespread microglia activation

Multiple Sclerosis is often known as the “great crippler of young adults.” It causes various forms of sensory and motor skill problems as the disease progresses. MS affects a wide variety of people in any age group. MS is a long-term condition. Relapses are common and can last for up to 24 hours and several factors have been identified. There is no known cause for Multiple Sclerosis‚ but that does not stop scientist from trying to figure one out. Multiple Sclerosis is a “chronic inflammatory‚ demyelinating

Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system‚ affecting the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 400‚000 people in the United States alone. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 40 years of age and is more common in women; men may have a more severe progressive course (Luzzio‚ 2013). Life expectancy is shortened in persons with MS‚ and the survival rate is linked to disability

2007 Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the optic nerves. In MS‚ the myelin sheath‚ a fatty tissue that surrounds and protects nerve fibers‚ is damaged. Inflammation also occurs which further destroys the sheath and eventually the nerves that it encompasses. This leads to areas of multiple scarring or sclerosis which can slow down or even block nerve signaling

Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis [MS] is a chronic‚ autoimmune‚ inflammatory‚ neurodegenerative condition of the central nervous system [CNS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011) characterized by demyelination and axonal loss (Chastain‚ Duncan‚ Rodgers & Miller‚ 2011). MS expresses itself in 4 forms: relapsing remitting MS [RRMS]‚ secondary progressive MS [SPMS]‚ primary progressive MS [PPMS]‚ and progressive relapsing MS [PRMS] (Boppanna‚ Huang‚ Ito & Dhib-Jalbut‚ 2011).
