The National MS Society estimates that approximately 50 percent of patients with MS will develop some type of cognitive problems, including decreased concentration or memory. Demyelination is the loss of the fatty insulation around axons, which are the long parts of nerves.
When this myelin insulation is damaged, nerves have a harder time conducting impulses, especially when the body is warmer than usual, according to Dr. Shortly after his diagnosis in , unsure of what the future held in terms of his health due to the unpredictability of MS, Cavuto made the decision to tell his boss about his condition.
I told him I might end up in a wheelchair. His response was, 'Then we'll build a ramp for the set. Telling others about your diagnosis is a personal decision, says Dr. Reder, and one that people often shy away from due to fear of being treated differently or unfairly. Plus, a boss is more likely to understand if someone needs to take off work in the event of a flare-up," says Dr. Reder, adding that it is not legal to fire someone for having MS. While Cavuto has been able to maintain his career despite having the disease, not all MS patients fare as well, according to neurologist Richard Ransohoff, M.
Ransohoff was named the recipient of the John Dystel Prize, which recognizes outstanding contributions to research in the understanding, treatment, or prevention of MS. But MS symptoms are highly variable in both intensity and duration. Some people experience attacks or flare-ups followed by remissions; others experience gradual worsening of symptoms," Dr.
Ransohoff says. Researchers hope to determine why and how MS can affect people so differently. Some studies indicate that genetic vulnerability to certain environmental factors—such as smoking—could help trigger or exacerbate MS. Obesity is probably bad too, because fat cells increase inflammation in the body" Dr. During the past decade, MS research has been progressing at a rapid rate, offering promising new studies into the causes of MS as well as more treatment options to patients.
For example, researchers and neurologists have long believed that whether a person will develop MS may be determined by a combination of genetic predisposition and exposure to environmental or lifestyle elements that trigger the disease. In , 29 new genes that influence the risk of identifying MS were identified, with a total of 57 genes now linked to the disease.
Research has also produced new kinds of treatments. In addition, we're looking at ways not just to slow down the disease process, but to also reduce disability progression and relapse rates among people with MS. A little over a decade later, after Fox News Channel was firmly established as a major media player, the Fox management decided to spinoff its own business network, much the same way that CNBC is the business news network in the NBC family.
As with Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network took a little time to build its audience, facing the usual growing pains of gaining spots on the rosters of cable carriers and educating viewers that they were there to be watched.
You can go longer on interviews. Pacific on Tuesday, Oct. His Your World market-closing broadcast on FNC is the most watched financial news program in America, and has been for the past ten years. His weekend wrap-up Cavuto on Business, is the second highest rated. Collectively they complete the top five financial programs on television.
