English to German: Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Source text - English Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory process in which white blood cells attack the fatty substance myelin in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. Since myelin serves as insulation and protection for neural processes, its loss means that impulses conducted by the affected nerve are slowed or stopped. An excellent illustration of the role of myelin can be found at http://www.msif.org/en/ms_the_disease/demyelination.html. MS does not shorten life expectancy, but it frequently leads to disability of varying degrees.
Translation - German Multiple Sklerose (MS) ist ein entzündlicher Prozess, in dem die weißen Blutkörperchen die fetthaltige Substanz Myelin in Hirn, Ruckenmark und Sehnerv angreifen. Da Myelin als Isolier- und Schutzmaterial für Nervenzellen dient, bedeutet sein Verlust, daß der befallene Nerv elektrische Signale verlangsamt oder überhaupt nicht mehr weiterleitet. Diese Rolle des Myelins wurde von http://www.msif.org/en/ms_the_disease/demyelination.html hervorragend illustriert. MS verkürzt nicht die Lebenserwartung, führt jedoch häufig zu mehr oder minder stark ausgeprägten Behinderungen.

After 20 years at the lab bench, I decided to combine my interests in medicine, science, writing and multimedia into a small business. As I am currently "daylighting" as a physician, aroundbigblock Inc. cannot focus on projects with tight deadlines.
