Myelin and nerve structure Alternative names Return to top MS Definition Return to top A disorder of the brain and spinal cord ( central nervous system ) caused by progressive damage to the outer covering of nerve cells (myelin). This results in decreased nerve functioning which can lead to a variety of symptoms. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause of MS is unknown. The disease involves repeated episodes of inflammation of nervous tissue in any area of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). These episodes occur when the body's own immune cells attack the nervous system. The location of the inflamed areas varies from person to person and from episode to episode. The inflammation destroys the covering of the nerve cells in that area ( myelin sheath), leaving multiple areas of scar tissue (sclerosis) along the covering of the nerve cells. This results in slowing or blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in that area, leading to the symptoms of MS.

25. Multiple Sclerosis The multiple sclerosis Society of Canada multiple sclerosis (MS) isan autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). http://www.mssoc.ca/

The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada Please visit the site at: www.mssociety.ca Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). In Multiple Sclerosis, inflammation of nervous tissue causes the loss of myelin, a fatty material which acts as a sort of protective insulation for the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This demyelination leaves multiple areas of scar tissue (sclerosis) along the covering of the nerve cells, which disrupts the ability of the nerves to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain, producing the various symptoms of MS.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society Reading and District Branch Reading, Berkshire, UK This is a test WWW server for the MS Community. Please do not expect too much yet! In the following Index you will see a list of just some of the publications and fact sheets produced by the UK M.S. Society and these are used with permission. They are shown in HTML format but please remember they were designed for printing and not as WWW documents. There are not yet any hyperlinks between documents. When all of the indexed documents are on line I will start to implement some links. Please let me know your impressions by e-mail to David@msrdng.demon.co.uk. Let me know what you would like to see on the server. If you have documents that you think should go on-line why not put them onto Chris Boyes's Infoserver first. They will then be available to those who only have e-mail. I will work my way thru them and put them onto the WWW Server. It is intended that the UK MS Society's Information Department will take over responsibility for documents some time early next year. I will then concentrate on putting sound and Video into documents that will be designed specifically for the newly diagnosed. In the UK we will be distributing documents with a kiosk version of the Mosaic software to GP's practises so that they will be available for the newly diagnosed and Practise and District nurses on a trial basis and without a link to the Net.. We hope that this trial will start in January 1995.

Books About MS and Multiple Sclerosis "Help Your Child Avoid Multiple Sclerosis, A Parenting Decision" by Joseph V. and Dorothy M. Goldbach and the Heritage Global Publishing Company. This book has detailed research on Multiple Sclerosis dealing with the geographical risk factors, susceptibility symptoms, parenting, and migration. There is no known cause nor cure for MS Multiple Sclerosis. It's estimated that 200 new cases are diagnosed each week. Here is a book that puts into focus thinking about MS susceptibility. The authors have thoroughly and painstakingly researched and documented that MS is, in all probability, a geographical disease. There are risk factors and high risk areas in the United States and the world. Some states, like Colorado, have a higher prevalence rate than others. Geography and MS cannot be separated. The authors report in detail on research that indicates moving or migrating from a high risk area to a low risk area before age 15 can make a significant difference.
