The most common form of MG is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups. The prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 20/100,000 population. However, MG is probably under diagnosed and the prevalence may be higher. Myasthenia Gravis occurs in all races, both genders, and at any age. MG is not thought to be directly inherited nor is it contagious. It does occasionally occur in more than one member of the same family. The voluntary muscles of the entire body are controlled by nerve impulses that arise in the brain. These nerve impulses travel down the nerves to the place where the nerves meet the muscle fibers. Nerve fibers do not actually connect with muscle fibers. There is a space between the nerve ending and muscle fiber; this space is called the neuromuscular junction. When the nerve impulse originating in the brain arrives at the nerve ending, it releases a chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine travels across the space to the muscle fiber side of the neuromuscular junction where it attaches to many receptor sites. The muscle contracts when enough of the receptor sites have been activated by the acetylcholine. In MG, there is as much as an 80% reduction in the number of these receptor sites. The reduction in the number of receptor sites is caused by an antibody that destroys or blocks the receptor site. Antibodies are proteins that play an important role in the immune system. They are normally directed at foreign proteins called antigens that attack the body. Such foreign proteins include bacteria and viruses. Antibodies help the body to protect itself from these foreign proteins. For reasons not well understood, the immune system of the person with MG makes antibodies against the receptor sites of the neuromuscular junction. Abnormal antibodies can be measured in the blood of many people with MG. The antibodies destroy the receptor sites more rapidly than the body can replace them. Muscle weakness occurs when acetylcholine cannot activate enough receptor sites at the neuromuscular junction health Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:53:23 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/ShawnsBidnessCollectibles Disney collecting is fun and addicting!

Sjogren's may also cause dryness of other organs, affecting the kidneys, GI tract, blood vessels, lung, liver, pancreas, and the central nervous system. Many patients experience debilitating fatigue and joint pain. Symptoms can plateau, worsen, or go into remission. While some people experience mild symptoms, others suffer debilitating symptoms that greatly impair their quality of life. Your body's autoimmune system mistakenly attacks its own moisture producing glands. Sjogren's is one of the most prevalent autoimmune disorders, striking as many as 4,000,000 Americans. Nine out of ten patients are women. The average age of onset is late 40s although Sjogren's occurs in all age groups in both women and men. health Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:38:52 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/choose_good_doctor Choosing a doctor is important for anyone's well being. For people with chronnic illnesses or disABILITIES choosing a good doctor can mean a life with little or no pain, a longer life and a lower chance of other health issues arising in the future. This lens will give you advice on how to find a doctor that not only is aware of new and upcoming treatments, is a specialist in your area of concern but treats you as a partner in your health care and views you as a whole person instead of a medical condition.  Please note this advice is for people who have already been diagnosed, not people going through the diagnosis process. That may be another lens!  health Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:51:45 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/robertford Robert Ford wasn't very known but with the film The Assassination of Jesse James scheduled to open in late September he may become a household name. Casey Affleck plays Robert Ford who was a follower of Jesse James but then turned out to be his killer. Brad Pitt plays Jesse James in this view of how a nobody became famous for the death of an outlaw. photo from Spartacus Educational people Mon, 19 Nov 2007 21:27:08 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Cinderellas_Castle Cinderella's Castle is located in Disney World, which is in Florida. There are other versions of this castle in the Disney parks but this is the one I've seen hundreds of times. This is the one that I still get a shiver up my spine when it comes into view. Getting a glimpse of the Castle is like a dream come true for me and many other people who have traveled from all over the world or right down the road to visit Walt Disney World. I hope to tell you about this unofficial landmark in the US, the ins and outs, the rumors that are and aren't true and share how you can enjoy this beautiful piece of architecture for not only how it looks but for what it represents.
