Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the breakdown and loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Voluntary muscle control degenerates until the body eventually loses function. To better understand how ALS works, the medical terminology can fi...
Discussion: The term arteriolosclerosis actually does not define a lesion at all. It is a generic term meaning “hardening of small arteries”. In fact, the term encompasses two distinct lesions: 1) a fibromuscular proliferation of the intima, the “hyperplastic type”, and 2) a deposition ...
The term is also used in a broader meaning to group together conditions that are diverse in etiology and pathogenesis but which all lead to the development of pneumosclerosis. In the latter sense, “pneumosclerosis” is analogous to the collective concepts of chronic pneumonia as described by ...

The Biological aspects: The main functions of the myelin sheaths are to insulate theaxonas well as increase the speed at which action potentials are propagated between successive nodes of Ranvier, of the axon. The Nodes of Ranvier contain voltage-gated channels that assist in boosting…show more...
[37,38]. First of all, relapses in the preceding period of a trial are usually determined retrospectively and patients may over-report the exact number to qualify for inclusion. Secondly, the inclusion criterion of relapse rate is often high, meaning that only patients with very active disease...
(Fig.3F) revealed an average CR resolution age of 6.8 years old, with an average resolution age of 6.7 years old inTSC1patients, and 7.2 years old inTSC2patients. However, no further tumour regression was observed in eitherTSC1orTSC2patients beyond 15.5 years of age, meaning that for ...
“Suitable conditions” shall have a meaning dependent on the context in which this term is used. That is, when used in connection with an antibody, the term shall mean conditions that permit an antibody to bind to its corresponding antigen. When this term is used in connection with nucleic...
There was a significant correlation between NHP values and MFIS values—meaning that higher fatigue values are associated with reduced HRQoL (Figure 3). In addition, higher NHP values (reduced HRQoL) were also associated with higher depression values (BDI, Figure 4) and higher PSQI values (low ...
