Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fast progressing‚ degenerative‚ neurological disease. The disease is marked by weakness‚ atrophy and paralysis of the body’s voluntary muscles as a result of motor neuron degeneration and death (Wijesekera & Leigh‚ 2009). ALS gets its name from Greek origin: Amyotrophic- “A” meaning without‚ “myo” meaning muscle‚ “trophic” meaning nourishment‚ literally translated this term means “without muscle nourishment”. “Lateral Sclerosis” refers to

Examples of stress in the work place will be used to illustrate the broad ramifications of stress in the occupational setting. Examples of Electromyography (EMG) will be given as a means of biologically diagnosing occupational and personnal stress cases as opposed to occupational soft muscle tissue diseases. Finally‚ interventions such as stress management programs will also be explored‚ as well

Psoriasis is a complex autoimmune inflammatory disease that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals and presents with the development of inflammatory plaques on the skin (picture 1A-B). Although early concepts of the pathogenesis of psoriasis focused primarily on keratinocyte hyperproliferation‚ dysregulation of the immune system is now recognized as a critical event in this disease. The evolving knowledge of the role of the immune system in psoriasis has had a significant impact on treatment

Anatomy of Peripheral Nerves Peripheral nerves consist of fascicles that contain myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Endoneurium is the small amount of matrix that is present between individual axons. The perineurium is a sheath of special‚ fiber-like cells that ties the axons of each fascicle together. Epineurium is the connective tissue that surrounds the entire nerve trunk and gives off vascular connective tissue septa that traverse the nerve and separate fascicles from one another. | | Single

1.Phonetics as a branch of linguistics. Phonetics and other disciplines. Applications of phonetics. Ph-s is a basic branch of linguistics that studies the inventory‚ structure and functions of the speech sounds. Ph-s studies the phonemes and their allophones‚ the syllabic structure‚ the distribution of stress‚ intonation and the ways in which they are organized. Ph-s investigates into a system of units and the variation of the units in all types and styles of spoken language. Some disciplines like

* We have solid knowledge on sleep but are still looking for better treatments * How can we sleep in different habitats? Underground‚ deep sea‚ and space * Recently discovered: people in a study on space sleeping found that the individuals went lethargic and had depression issues‚ didn’t move much and avoided crucial exercise (important because we don’t want to send depressed people on long voyages) * Origin of the word sleep: somnus (roman god of sleep) and hypnos (greek god of sleep)=
