| extramedullary hematopoiesis | red blood cell production outside the vertebrae. Red blood cells are derived from the stem cells in the bone marrow throughout the body. When individuals become severely anemic, there is not enough space in the ctive bone marrow to produce hemoglobin, and the body begins to make blood outside the bone marrow: in the spleen, liver, and sometimes outside the vertebrae, which can compress the spinal cord, leading to paralysis So does this mean abnormal peripheral blood tests - and not showing up with blood in urine as previous? Would this be an advance stage of autoimmune hemolytic anemia? |

| Guillain-Barré syndrome: an autoimmune disease that damages sensory and motor nerves," Dr. Armond Goldman, an emeritus professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UTMB | The paralysis which struck Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in 1921 was not caused by poliomyelitis, as has been universally assumed by physicians and historians, according to researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). They believe that the most likely cause of FDR's paralysis was Guillain-Barré syndrome. What did Pres FDR die of ? |
| CIDP | Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy * CIDP is closely related to Guillain-Barre syndrome and it is considered the chronic counterpart of that acute disease. |
| Multiple Sclerosis: The 'Polio' of the 90s | MS is generally considered an auto-immune disease, an allergic reaction to oneself that eats away at the myelin sheaths wrapped around nerve fibers. Sclerosis is the medical term for lesion, and in MS multiple lesions form on the myelin, which is akin to the plastic insulation surrounding electrical wires. The myelin becomes inflamed and literally begins to fray, short-circuiting nerve signals and leading to the disease's physical and neurological symptoms.

This causes the loss of nervous control of voluntary muscles, resulting in the degeneration and atrophy of the muscles.
