Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the myelin sheath, a protective coating around nerve fibers. This results in inflammation, which further damages the myelin sheath, as well as the nerve cells themselves and the cells that ...
"It's a disease that can cause significant physical disability," said UNSW Sydney Professor Arun Krishnan, from the School of Clinical Medicine and the Neuromuscular Disease and Multiple Sclerosis Research Group. "But that's a lot less common than it used to be. If you ran an MS clinic 30...
Multiple sclerosis –Multiple sclerosisis an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue in the brain and spinal cord. Parkinson’s disease –Parkinson’s is a brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, including tremors and muscle stiffness. Brain damage –Brain damage...
Is scleroderma a neurological disease? Is Laryngomalacia associated with neurological disorders? Is a stroke a neurological disorder? Is Guillain-Barre syndrome a neuromuscular disorder? Can multiple myeloma cause peripheral neuropathy? Is sensory processing disorder a neurodevelopmental disorder?
Missense mutations in Valosin-Containing Protein ()are linked to diverse degenerative diseases including IBMPFD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease. Here, we characterize a VCP-binding co-factor (SVIP) that specifically recruits VCP to lysosomes. SVIP is ...
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, demyelinating and inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young adults. It is characterised by processes involving inflammation, demyelination and axonal destruction, and as a result the pathogenic aspects and response to treatment of the ...
Is Parkinson's disease a neurodegenerative disease? What is the pathophysiology of Hirschsprung disease? What is the Alzheimer's disease process? What is the disease process of multiple sclerosis? What is the etiology of Down syndrome? What is MSA brain disease?
is an uncontrollable contraction or twitch in the muscles on one side of a person's face. It is considered a neuromuscular disorder that can arise from facial trauma, compressed nerves, cancer, or an underlying disease such as multiple sclerosis. A hemifacial spasm typically begins in an isolate...
Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculitis in a Patient With Multiple Sclerosis A case of multiple sclerosis (MS) occurred in which there were recent demyelinated plaques in the CNS, and inflammatory demyelination and remyelination in the peripheral (Schwann cell) portions of the spinal roots. The...
Which condition causes autoimmune damage to receptors for acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction? (a) Multiple sclerosis (b) Rheumatoid arthritis (c) Myasthenia gravis (d) Crohn's disease What are the diseases associated with hyperkinetic and or bounding pulse?
