Answer:

"I'm not really hungry for lunch. I feel so nauseated and tired."

Explanation:

"I'm not really hungry for lunch. I feel so nauseated and tired."

Drug therapy with digoxin and potassium-losing diuretics (thiazides or loop diuretics) may lead to hypokalemia. The presence of hypokalemia while the patient is on digoxin may lead to digoxin toxicity. Signs of early digoxin toxicity include anorexia, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, headache, depression, and visual changes. Slightly swollen ankles are an expected finding with chronic heart failure; frequent urination is an expected effect of the diuretic. The heart rate of 90 beats/minute is normal.

Answer:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating and an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by immune-mediated myelin and axonal damage, and chronic axonal loss attributable to the absence of myelin sheaths. T cell subsets (Th1, Th2, Th17, CD8+, NKT, CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells) and B cells are involved in this disorder, thus new MS therapies seek damage prevention by resetting multiple components of the immune system. The currently approved therapies are immunoregulatory and reduce the number and rate of lesion formation but are only partially effective. This review summarizes current understanding of the processes at issue: myelination, demyelination and remyelination—with emphasis upon myelin composition/architecture and oligodendrocyte maturation and differentiation. The translational options target oligodendrocyte protection and myelin repair in animal models and assess their relevance in human. Remyelination may be enhanced by signals that promote myelin formation and repair. The crucial question of why remyelination fails is approached is several ways by examining the role in remyelination of available MS medications and avenues being actively pursued to promote remyelination including: (i) cytokine-based immune-intervention (targeting calpain inhibition), (ii) antigen-based immunomodulation (targeting glycolipid-reactive iNKT cells and sphingoid mediated inflammation) and (iii) recombinant monoclonal antibodies-induced remyelination.Keywords: calpain, central nervous system, demyelination, fingolimod, glycolipids, lipids, multiple sclerosis, myelin, myelination, NKT cells, oligodendrocytes, remyelination, T cells
