(Tıp) multiple sclerosis
A chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord characterized by changes in sensation, visual problems, weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech, impaired mobility and disability
A progressive autoimmune disease in which the body attacks it's own central nervous system, gradually destroying the white fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibers, thereby damaging sites in the brain and spinal cord
a disease of the central nervous system that is an unpredictable condition that can be relatively benign, disabling, or devastating, leaving the patient unable to speak, walk, or write
Multiple Sclerosis (literally, "many scars") is a disease of the central nervous system The demyelination of the myelin sheath which coats the nerves impedes the transmission of signals from the brain Most people diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis will experience relapses in which the number of symptoms is increased The main patterns which Multiple Sclerosis takes are: relapsing/remitting; chronic progressive; secondary progressive; and benign For further details see What is Multiple Sclerosis?
(MS) The National Sclerosis Society says of MS that it is "a disease that randomly attacks your central nervous system, wearing away the control you have over your body Symptoms may range from numbness to paralysis and blindness The progress, severity and specific symptoms cannot be foreseen
disease of the nervous system, MS (Medicine)
A chronic and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, characterized by the progressive destruction of the white matter in the nervous system the myelin sheath that protects the nerves and allows for uninterrupted transmission of nerve impulses
disease of the brain and spinal cord caused by an unknown agent that gradually destroys the myelin covering, or sheath, of nerve fibers, resulting in a temporary interruption or disordered transmission of nerve impulses, particularly in pathways concerned with vision, sensation, and the use of limbs; disruption of impulse transmission may cause mild to moderate symptoms (numbness in the limbs to complete and permanent paralysis); onset generally occurs between ages 20 and 40, with symptoms appearing at irregular intervals for years
A disease of unknown etiology Typically, symptoms include weakness, incoordination paresthesias, speech disturbances, and visual complaints
This is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults The cause of MS is unknown, and there is no cure The symptoms of this disease, and their severity, vary greatly from one individual to another They can include slurred speech, paralysis, uncontrollable eye movement, loss of balance, lack of coordination, and extreme fatigue A person can suffer a series of attacks, followed by partial or complete recovery Alternately, MS can follow a slow, progressive course with few or no periods of recovery In some cases, the frustration of not knowing how one may be able to function from one day to the next can be aggravating enough to affect the individual's moods; however, MS is not a mental illness
A neurodegenerative disease that damages myelin, the insulation that controls the movement of electrical signals along axons MS patients show a variety of symptoms (such as loss of coordination, slurred speech, and dizziness), depending on where in the central nervous system the degeneration occurs
n Serious progressive disease of the central nervous system occurring mainly in young adults and thought to be caused by a malfunction of the immune system It leads to the loss of myelin in the brain or spinal cord and causes muscle weakness, poor eyesight, slow speech, and some inability to move Learn more about multiple sclerosis
A disease in which there are foci of demyelination of various sizes throughout the white matter of the central nervous system, sometimes extending into the gray matter Typically, the symptoms of lesions of the white matter are weakness, incoordination, paresthesias, speech disturbances, and visual complaints The course of the disease is usually prolonged, so that the term multiple also refers to remissions and relapses that occur over a period of many years The etiology is unknown (Dorland, 28th ed)
a disorder of the central nervous system involving decreased nerve function associated with the formation of scars on the covering of the nerve cells
-a chronic disease in which there is loss of myelin (the covering of a nerve) in the central nervous system; it is characterized by speech defects and loss of muscular coordination
A degenerative disease
A progressive disease of the central nervous system, characterized by lack of coordination and speech difficulties 257A progressive disease of the central nervous system, characterized by lack of coordination and speech difficulties 257
MS Chronic degenerative disease of the CNS in which a gradual destruction of myelin occurs in patches throughout the brain and/or spinal cord The plaques of sclerosis interfere with nerve pathways causing muscular weakness, loss of coordination, loss of speech, diplopia, nystagmus, dysarthria, paresthesias, mood alterations, etc Caused by a defect in the immune system that may be genetic or viral in origin
An autoimmune disorder, which results in the demyelinization of nerves In MS, the myelin shealth that allows for efficient transmission of nerve impulses is damaged, resulting in progressive neurological symptoms such as, numbness, tingling, loss of control of certain bodily functions, and paralysis
A slowly progressive central nervous system disease characterized by disseminated patches of demyelination in the brain and spinal cord

(Tıp, İlaç) Çoklu skleroz ya da multiple skleroz, beyni ve omuriliği tutan özbağışıklık hastalığır. Kısaca MS olarak anılır. Nörotravmanın ardından genç erişkinlerde en sık görülen nörolojik bozukluktur. Sadece ABD'de yaklaşık 350.000-400.000 doktorlarca tanı konmuş kişi vardır. Hastalığın nedeni daha tam olarak anlaşılmamış olmakla birlikte, genetik ve çevresel etkenlerin birleşimiyle ortaya çıktığına inanılmaktadır. Çeşitli tipleri olsa da tümü merkezi sınır sisteminin (MSS) yangısı (enflamasyonu) ile nitelenir ve miyelinsizleşme (sınır dokusunu saran özel miyelin proteinin bağışıklık sistemince yok edilmesi) ile ilerlemektedir. Başka bir deyişle MS, MSS'nin miyelinsizleşmesini ve yangısını içeren bir özbağışıklık hastalığıdır. Özbağışıklık; kısaca bağışıklık sisteminin kişinin kendi hücrelerini tanıyamaması, bunun sonucunda vücuda yabancı madde sanıp yok etmeye çalışması ve sonuç olarak vücudun kendi kendine zarar vermesi olarak açıklanabilir. MS'de ise bağışıklıl sisteminin tanıyamadığı bağıştıranlar (antijen) miyelinlerdir (myelin baz proteini ve myelin oligodendrosit glikoprotein gibi). MS hastalığında bağışıklık sistemde asıl sorumlu tutulan bağışıklık sistemi hücreleri ise T-hücreleri'dir
