Advantages And Disadvantages Of Nmps

First Past The Post, like other plurality/majoriAdvantages and disadvantages of FPTP systemty electoral systems, is defended primarily on the grounds of simplicity and its tendency to produce winners who are representatives beholden to defined geographic areas and governability. The most often cited advantages are that:

Many wonder why the spinal cord is not able to heal itself like the other parts of the body such as how the skin injured on a leg can regenerate and heal itself or how muscle can repairs itself is it gets strained. But the spinal cord is different. That is because some of the cells in the central nervous system are so complex and specialized that they do not have the ability to regenerate.

guiding the regeneration of the axons by serving as a physical conduit. The distal segment of the

The limited space within the vertebrae actually plays an important roll in spinal cord injury. Once the initial injury occurs the body, as with every other part of the body, tries to protect the injured area with swelling. But the swelling occurs within the small confines of the spinal column and causes further damage to the surrounding tissue. It has only recently been discovered how much of an impact this secondary damage has. One of the areas of crucial ongoing research is on what kind of window of opportunity medicine has in treating these types of injuries and still attaining the best recovery.

Chronic Neuropathic Pain after Spinal Cord Injury: Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects up to 500,000 people every year around the world (Singh et al., 2014) with devastating physical, psychological and social consequences. SCI not only damages motor systems, it also directly affects sensory systems, causing chronic, debilitating neuropathic pain. The incidence of neuropathic pain after SCI is extremely high, with at least half and up to 90% of SCI individuals experiencing neuropathic pain, described as paroxysmal pain that can be continuous and may be evoked by any sensory stimulus, not necessarily painful. Current pharmacological interventions offer minimal, transient relief to a minority (30%) of sufferers of SCI-induced neuropathic pain (Cousins, 2012). Current treatment strategies utilize conventional drugs for chronic pain, which only address pain symptomatically and cannot provide lasting relief or prevent relapse of symptoms, leading to drug dependency and further reducing quality of life for SCI patients. Due to the myriad events that take place after SCI, delineating the causes of neuropathic pain development is difficult. Neuropathic pain in general, and more so in SCI, has an inherent degeneracy in mechanisms, which is likely why targeted pharmacological treatment approaches often fail to provide significant relief.

Studies on nerve fibers’ longitudinal growth, axons’ regeneration and structural plasticity of axons and dendrites illustrated that they are restricted to short distances and limited spatial dimensions in the CNS. Scientists recognized that neural repair required plasticity, sprouting, and regeneration, which was limited within the adult CNS. However, once adult CNS axons from multiple areas successfully regenerated into peripheral nerve grafts in the spinal cord, brain, or optic nerve, scientists discovered the key role of local tissue microenvironment in determining the extent of growth. Scientists discovered neurite growth inhibitor factors enriched in myelin such as Nogo-A, myelin proteins, MAG and OMgp, semaphorins and ephrins, and chondroitin sulphate

Detailed focus question: How does Wallerian degeneration and axonal regeneration repair severed axon/nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system?

A Spinal cord injury is a harm to one or all parts of the spinal cord. A spinal cord injury can affect many aspects of a person’s life such as making him weak and unable to perform daily activities. There are two factors that matter when it comes to spinal cord injury: the part of the spinal cord that is affected and the seriousness of the injury. Moreover, the seriousness of a spinal cord disease is distinguished by two terns: complete and incomplete. A spinal cord injury is complete, when it’s hard or become impossible to move the lowest part of the injured spinal cord. On the other hand, a spinal cord injury is incomplete, when it still possible to move the lowest part of your spinal cord even after an injury. Furthermore,

Approximately 11,000 new cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) occur in the United States each year, contributing to the over 200,000 individuals currently living with SCI. SCI results in tremendous changes in an individual’s life, causing impairments to the musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, integumentary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and sensory systems. Mobility and self-care become limited as well as participation in social and everyday activities when SCI causes paralysis of the muscles below the injury1. An individual who was once independent may now have to depend on others for help in their daily routine. The rehabilitation process plays a major role in helping those with SCI become as independent as possible, and physical therapists

Axonal degeneration does have a significant impact on many neurodegenerative diseases. Their research found that this particular pathway, Sarm1-MAPK pathway, may be a common pathway for different types of axonal degeneration, not just from traumatic injury. If the main pathway or underlying mechanism that drives these diseases is uncovered and understood, then this can lead to creating different methods to protect synapses and axons in these diseases. Other research can focus on trying to inhibit the Sarm1-MAPK pathway, or at least inhibit distinct components within it. Their research is pertinent to finding a cure or possible treatments for many of these diseases. This will have multiple implications on society, medicine, and the quality of life for many people suffering with the many debilitating symptoms associated with these diseases.

Injuries to the spinal cord are serious medical emergencies that are often a result of direct trauma to the spinal column. There are 11,000 new cases of spinal cord injury in the United States each year. The most common causes of injury include motor vehicle accidents, falls, violence, and sports injuries (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, and Bucher, 2014). Males between ages 16 and 30 are at highest for suffering from a spinal cord injury. These types of injury are highly variable depending on the cause, location, and type of damage making each case unique. The extent of debilitation caused by a spinal cord injury results from a primary and secondary injury. Primary injury is the damage to the spinal cord that occurs as a direct result of

Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Services (STARS) at its location in East Meadow, New York, is addressing the problem of spinal cord injuries. These injuries are not as well known as one may think. Warren, Hamilton, and Roden-Foreman state that the “incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is estimated to occur in the United States at a rate of 40 cases per million” (pp. 303, 2013). This is a low incidence, especially in a country of approximately one-third of a billion of people. The prevalence of Americans in 2014 that are alive and have an SCI is approximately 276,000 persons (National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, 2014).

John F. Kennedy once said “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” As imaging becomes better, our understanding of how neurons work, and the human brain will improve. From this understand of neurology the new approach at diagnoses, diseases, medicine that’s once only helped some will hopefully help all. There is a new discovery of a mechanism that controls the way nerve cells in the brain respond with each other to maintain our learning and long-term memory could have major benefits to understanding how the brain works and what goes wrong in neurodegenerative disorders. The findings will have a strong impact on many aspects of neuroscience. As neurology continues to improve, there are many treatments and cures waiting to be

Brain injury is a devastating condition associated with trauma, multiple sclerosis or stroke. Successful therapy must be done to overcome this, the associated loss of neurones and supporting glial cells as complex intercellular connections. This scary challenge can be addressed using stem cells because stem cells can regenerate and repair the delicate injured tissue. If research can get this advance, then stem cells can repair brain damage and become reality.
