Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that can damage myelin sheaths and nerves. It causes problems with vision, balance, muscle control and other functions. In MS, the immune system attacks and damages myelin. Symptoms vary depending on location of nerve damage and include numbness, weakness, vision problems, tingling and fatigue. The cause is unknown but considered autoimmune, with the immune system destroying myelin. Diagnosis involves MRI, lumbar puncture and ruling out other diseases. While there's no cure, treatment focuses on recovery from attacks, slowing progression and managing symptoms.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?
As with any disease, a good understanding of multiple sclerosis is the first thing families should have in order to provide the most appropriate support & care to seniors who suffer from it.
Neuromuscular diseases by aayupta mohanty
The document discusses several neuromuscular disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy. It provides details on ALS such as its symptoms, causes, risk factors, and complications. ALS causes motor neurons to break down and leads to muscle weakness and atrophy. It typically begins in the hands, feet or limbs and eventually affects movement, speech, swallowing and breathing. While most cases have no known cause, genetic mutations and environmental factors may play a role. Complications include breathing and eating problems as well as potential dementia. Tests like EMGs, MRIs and biopsies can help diagnose ALS and rule out other conditions.

This document provides information about symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) from the perspective of MS patients. It discusses how vision problems like blurred vision or loss of vision in one eye are often early symptoms of MS. It also notes that numbness, tingling, and abnormal sensations in the face, arms, or legs are very common MS symptoms. Additionally, it describes how muscle weakness, shaking, and even paralysis can occur in more severe cases of MS due to damage to the myelin sheath surrounding nerves.
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It occurs when the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Common symptoms include vision problems, muscle weakness, numbness, and fatigue. It is typically diagnosed based on symptoms, neurological exams, and imaging tests like MRI. The most common form is relapsing-remitting MS, where periods of exacerbation are followed by periods of remission. While there is no cure for MS, treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce relapses.
Final Project
This document provides an overview of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It defines ALS as a disease that causes the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, preventing communication between the brain and muscles and resulting in muscle weakening and atrophy. The document discusses how ALS affects basic functions like walking, eating, and breathing. It notes that while the cause of ALS is unknown, neurotransmitter imbalances may play a role by overstimulating neurons and eventually killing them. The document also provides statistics on ALS prevalence and life expectancy after diagnosis, as well as profiles of famous individuals like Lou Gehrig and Stephen Hawking who lived with ALS.
Pharma sages top ten rare diseases
This document lists and briefly describes 10 rare diseases: 1) Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy which is caused by the JC virus and destroys myelin in the brain and spinal cord, 2) Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes which is an autoimmune condition affecting the nervous system in cancer patients, and 3) Dercum's Disease which causes fatty tissue growth and severe pain from pressure on nerves.
Muscular system
This document discusses several diseases that affect the muscular system. It describes muscular dystrophy as a genetic disease that causes muscle damage and weakness. It also discusses cerebral palsy, which causes loss of muscle tone and problems with movement from brain damage before or during birth. Another rare disease covered is fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, which causes soft tissues to harden into bone, restricting movement. The document provides brief overviews of several other muscular diseases including dermatomyositis, compartment syndrome, myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, mitochondrial myopathies, rhabdomyolysis, and myofascial pain syndrome.
Epilepsy
There are many types of epilepsy with different symptoms and treatment responses. Some people experience aurae like dizziness before seizures, allowing them to prevent injury. The most common type involves generalized seizures across both sides of the brain causing muscle spasms and loss of consciousness. Epilepsy can be caused by head injuries, tumors, strokes, blood vessel issues, birth defects, or infections. Diagnosis involves a medical history and sometimes EEGs, MRI, CT, or PET scans to examine the brain, though results are not always conclusive. Treatment generally involves antiepileptic drugs to control seizures, which reduce abnormal neuronal firing and neurotransmitter effects but can cause side effects like drowsiness.

Multiple sclerosis-1.pptx
Multiple sclerosis is a disease where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath surrounding nerves. This damages communication between the brain and body and can eventually damage nerves themselves. Symptoms vary depending on location of damage and affected nerves, and include numbness, vision problems, tingling, fatigue, and more. Most people experience relapses followed by remissions. Eventually, about 60-70% develop steady progression of symptoms. The cause is unknown but is believed to be autoimmune, and risk factors include age, sex, family history, and certain infections. Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions and may include MRI, spinal tap, and blood tests showing abnormalities associated with MS. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation with steroids or plasma

White Matter Project .Pptx
White matter is the fatty tissue located between the gray matter in the brain that contains nerve fibers called axons. It connects different areas of the brain and helps neurons transmit signals through coatings called myelin. Diseases like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease cause problems by damaging or destroying myelin. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease where the immune system attacks the myelin in the nervous system, causing symptoms like muscle stiffness, fatigue, and cognitive issues. There is no cure for MS but treatments can help reduce symptoms and slow progression. Alzheimer's disease causes brain cells to shrink and die over time, impairing cognitive abilities and eventually causing complete memory loss and inability to perform basic tasks.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that damages the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This can cause a variety of symptoms affecting vision, muscle control, sensation, and cognitive function. The cause is unknown but is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors. MS most commonly affects women between the ages of 20-40 and symptoms vary due to unpredictable attacks that damage different areas of the nervous system. Common symptoms include issues with balance, vision, sensation, muscle weakness, bladder and bowel function, cognition, and fatigue.
21 June: The Global Day for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ALS is a progressive neurological disease that causes the motor neurons controlling voluntary muscles to break down and die. This results in worsening muscle weakness, atrophy, and spasticity over time. There is no cure for ALS, but symptoms can be treated to prolong survival and quality of life. The cause is largely unknown, though some genetic factors have been identified. Most people live 3-5 years after diagnosis but about 10% of cases are inherited and can have longer survival times. Research continues toward finding effective treatments that target the underlying causes and pathways of the disease.

Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease of the central nervous system where communication between the brain and body is disrupted. It is caused by damage to the protective myelin sheath covering the nerves, which can affect functions throughout the body. While MS was first diagnosed in the 19th century, there is no definitive test and diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, medical history, and use of tests like MRI and evoked potentials to detect lesions in the brain and spinal cord. The disease typically appears between ages 20-40 and can range from mild to severe. There are several types but most common is relapsing-remitting MS where symptoms flare up and then decrease. Currently there is no cure but treatments can help manage symptoms and slow progression.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurologic disorder that causes atrophy of brain cells, leading it to cell death. it is degenerative and progressive illness. Increase in age with sedentary lifestyle and lack of brain storming activities are indirectly leading to mental disorders with cognitive disruptions like dementia and lading up into Alzheimer's, which makes life miserable of client due to dependency. It is essential to keep the elderly active physiologically as well as psychologically. Statistical data of several studies shows the rise in the cases of Alzheimer's disease, which is the highlighting point of concern. Due to increased digitalization and decreased socialization among the human species throughout globe is leading to increased in risk of getting cognitive deficits.
Paralysis Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment.pdf
Paralysis is caused by a malfunction of the nervous system. Nerves that are not harmed provide signals to muscles. Muscles move as a result of these impulses.
pharmacology of myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness. It occurs when antibodies block or destroy receptors at the neuromuscular junction, preventing signal transmission from nerves to muscles. Common symptoms include drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty swallowing and breathing. While there is no cure, treatment aims to control symptoms through medications like cholinesterase inhibitors or immunosuppressants, plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin or thymectomy. Proper nutrition, rest and exercise are also important for management of the condition.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Osteoporosis - Definition , Evaluation and Management .pdf

Multiple sclerosis
- 2. • MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions. • *In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between brain and the rest of body. Eventually, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged Aws Saad
- 3. *Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected *Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms. Aws Saad
- 4. **The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown. It's considered an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. *In the case of MS, this immune system malfunction destroys myelin (the fatty substance that coats and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord). Aws Saad
- 5. Myelin can be compared to the insulation coating on electrical wires. When the protective myelin is damaged and nerve fiber is exposed, the messages that travel along that nerve may be slowed or blocked. The nerve may also become damaged itself Aws Saad
- 6. Multiple sclerosis signs and symptoms may differ greatly from person to person and over the course of the disease depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. They may include: Aws Saad
- 7. 1. Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs that typically occurs on one side 2. Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, often with pain during eye movement 3. Prolonged double vision 4. Tingling or pain in parts of body 5. Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain neck movements, especially bending the neck forward (Lhermitte sign) Aws Saad
- 9. 6.Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait 7.Slurred speech 8.Fatigue 9.Dizziness 10.Problems with bowel and bladder function Aws Saad
- 10. Age Sex. Family history Certain infections: including Epstein-Barr, the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis. Certain autoimmune diseases Aws Saad
- 11. People with multiple sclerosis also may develop: Muscle stiffness or spasms Paralysis, typically in the legs Problems with bladder, bowel or sexual function Mental changes, such as forgetfulness or mood swings Depression Epilepsy Aws Saad
- 12. Blood tests, to help rule out other diseases with symptoms similar to MS Lumbar puncture (spinal tap), in which a small sample of fluid is removed from your spinal canal for laboratory analysis. This sample can show abnormalities in antibodies that are associated with MS Aws Saad
- 13. MRI, which can reveal areas of MS (lesions) on your brain and spinal cord Aws Saad
- 14. There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatment typically focuses on speeding recovery from attacks, slowing the progression of the disease and managing MS symptoms. Some people have such mild symptoms that no treatment is necessary. Corticosteroids : to reduce nerve inflammation. Aws Saad
- 15. Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis). The liquid portion of part of your blood (plasma) is removed and separated from your blood cells Plasma exchange may be used if your symptoms are new, severe and haven't responded to steroids. Aws Saad
