Isifo sokugubhuka

I-Multiple sclerosis (MS) sisifo esichasene nomzimba esibangela ukuba umzimba uhlasele inkqubo ye-nervous system (CNS). I-CNS ibandakanya ingqondo, intambo yomqolo, kunye ne-optic nerves.

Impendulo engekho gwenxa yokuvuvukala iyaqhubeka isusa iiseli zemithambo-luvo yengubo ekhuselekileyo ebizwa ngokuba yi-myelin. U-Myelin unxiba imicu ye-nerve evela ebuchotsheni, ecaleni kwethambo lomqolo, nakuwo wonke umzimba.

Ukongeza ekukhuseleni iiseli zemithambo-luvo, isambatho se-myelin sinceda ukuhanjiswa kwemithambo-luvo, okanye iimpembelelo. Ukwehla kwesiphumo se-myelin kukhokelela kwiimpawu ze-MS.

Ukuchonga i-MS ngomqolo kunye nezilonda zobuchopho

Abantu banokubonisa iimpawu ezininzi ze-MS, kodwa ukuxilongwa ngokuqinisekileyo akunakufezekiswa ngeliso lenyama.

Eyona ndlela isebenzayo kwaye ingangenisiyo yokufumanisa ukuba umntu une-MS kukuskena ubuchopho kunye nezilonda zomqolo usebenzisa i-imagination magontic resonance imaging (MRI).

Izilonda zihlala zilolona phawu luchaza isifo se-MS. Ngokwe-National MS Society, malunga neepesenti ezintlanu kuphela zabantu abane-MS ababonisi izilonda kwi-MRI ngexesha lokuxilongwa.

I-MRI isebenzisa amaza omazibuthe omeleleyo kunye noonomathotholo ukuvelisa imifanekiso eneenkcukacha zobuchopho kunye nentambo yomqolo. Olu scan lunokubonisa ngokufanelekileyo naluphi na ulusu okanye umonakalo kwi-myelin sheath ehambelana ne-MS.

Izilonda zomqolo we-MS

I-Demyelination, okanye ukuqhubela phambili kwe-myelin sheath kwi-CNS, sisiseko se-MS. Ukusukela ukuba i-myelin inxibe imicu yemithambo-luvo ehamba kuwo omabini la mathambo nengqondo yomqolo, ukudanjiswa komzimba kubangela izilonda kwezi ndawo zombini.

Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba umntu one-MS unezilonda zobuchopho, kunokwenzeka ukuba abe nezilonda zomqolo ngokunjalo.

Izilonda zentambo yomqolo ziqhelekile kwi-MS. Zifumaneka malunga neepesenti ezingama-80 zabantu abasandula ukufumanisa ukuba bane-MS.

Ngamanye amaxesha inani lezilonda zomqolo ezichongiweyo kwi-MRI zinokubonelela ugqirha ngombono wobukrakra be-MS kunye nethuba lesiganeko esibi ngakumbi sokususwa kwetyala lokwenzeka kwixesha elizayo. Nangona kunjalo, isayensi ngqo emva kwenani lezilonda kunye nendawo ekuyo ayikaqondwa ngokupheleleyo.

Ayaziwa ukuba kutheni abanye abantu abane-MS benokuba nezilonda ezingakumbi kwingqondo yabo kunentambo yomqolo, okanye ngokuchaseneyo. Nangona kunjalo, kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba izilonda zomqolo azibonisi ukuxilongwa kwe-MS, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kungakhokelela kwisifo sokuqonda isifo se-MS.

Neuromyelitis optica

Ngelixa izilonda zomqolo kunye nengqondo zinokucebisa nge-MS, ukubonakala kwezilonda zomqolo kunokubonisa esinye isifo esibizwa ngokuba yi-neuromyelitis optica (NMO).

I-NMO ineempawu ezininzi ezigqamileyo kwi-MS. Zombini i-NMO kunye ne-MS zibonakaliswa zizilonda kunye nokudumba kwe-CNS. Nangona kunjalo, i-NMO yenzeka ikakhulu kwintambo yomqolo, kwaye ubungakanani bezilonda ziyahluka.

Ukuba izilonda zomqolo zifunyenwe, kubalulekile ukufumana ukuxilongwa ngokuchanekileyo kuba unyango lwe-MS kunye ne-NMO luhluke kakhulu. Unyango olungachanekanga lunokuba neziphumo ezibi.

Yise kude

I-MS sisifo esixhaphakileyo semithambo-luvo esibonakaliswa zizilonda kwi-CNS, apho i-myelin ihluthwayo yaze yafakwa endaweni yezicwili ezibomvu.

Ii-MRIs zisetyenziselwa ukumisela ukuba ingqondo kunye nezilonda zomqolo zinxulumene ne-MS. Akuqondwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba kutheni izilonda zomqolo ezingaphezulu zinokwenza ngaphezu kwezilonda zobuchopho, okanye ngokuchaseneyo.

Kubalulekile ukugcina engqondweni ukuba ayizizo zonke izilonda zomqolo eziziphumo ze-MS. Ngamanye amaxesha, banokubonisa esinye isifo esibizwa ngokuba yi-NMO.
