The tentative topic of my long analytical report is Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I would like to focus on treatment of the disease. This topic is important to me for a couple of reasons. I work at Munson Medical Center as a Registered Nurse and have cared for numerous patients with MS. This disease can be debilitating and greatly affects the lives of those involved. MS is also very personal to me because my sister-in-law was diagnosed with MS in early 2006 at twenty four years of age. I have personally seen, even the beginning stages of this disease, cause significant changes in one’s life.
I would like to focus on treatment of Multiple Sclerosis because there are many promising developments that may be promising for the future. At this time, there is not a cure, but there are medications that often prescribed to slow the progression of the disease. Unfortunately, these medications have numerous side effects and there is no real way to prove whether or not the progression of a disease has actually slowed. There are numerous studies being conducted to find new treatments for MS. There has been a correlation found between one’s geographic location in the world, and the prevalence of MS. This has led research to search for commonalities between such areas, so a more effective treatment, or even cure, can be developed.

Your topic sounds very interesting. I have an aunt who suffers from MS. I wish you the best of luck with this!
ReplyDeleteThe purposed topic of my next paper would be the different types of alcohol and drug treatments available to those who are addicted. When things are said and done with my education, I would like to work in a facility for those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol and help them recover from their disease.
ReplyDeleteI chose this topic for the reason that I have had a number of members in my family who are alcoholics. It has affected my family for years and it is sad to see how they have let this ruin their lives and their relationships. I also have a very good friend who is battling a heroin addiction as well. Again, it has destroyed his life and has affected his family tremendously.
I would like to focus on the different types of treatments out there for these problems, as well as treatment options for families who are coping right along with the addict.
