Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disease. It is mainly characterized by passing neurological disorders at first which alter into permanent symptoms. The most frequent are tiredness, sensation disturbance and limbs, face, body becoming numb. Pregnancy doubtfully influence MS, but the most important question is about treatment during pregnancy. Should we carry pregnancy during immunomodular treatment? But crucial aspect is if a newborn baby will be healthy. To make attempt into discussion about the subject of SM and pregnancy we should perform a test how many sick people get married and or if maternity and paternity influence a disease course. Our research may bring answers, why statistically less SM men become single and do not own children and if unmarried status is influenced by sexual disturbance. Our conclusion will be compared with already written facts. Patients were between 18-35 year old are the subject of research. The group consist of 24 patients, 9 men and 15 women. Final conclusion could bring the answer if definite willingness to have a baby should be recommended.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
