Over Time

The descriptive epidemiology has proved to be dynamic with attenuation of the latitude gradient, increase in incidence among women, and changes in the sex ratio over time, indicating that recent changes in environmental factors are responsible. Although we still do not know the causes of MS, or how to prevent it, the current evidence supports causal roles for EBV infection, vitamin D, and cigarette smoking.

Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Analytical view of the human organism, its physiology and pathology, treatment methods, formed under the influence of many centuries of observing the progress of the disease, when there was not this or that individual symptoms and groups related by birth, with common features and parallel flow of symptoms, under the influence of treatment and its effects have been studied as weight, texture, color, damaged organs, the link between a specific and complex pathology of affected organs and tissues. Thus was formed syndromal diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, where each syndrome reflects the general, substantiality and local disturbances, had characteristic diagnostic features. On the basis of this multi-faceted study of the patient was placed syndromic diagnosis and the appropriate treatment approach, aimed at restoring the overall balance of the body's defenses.

Sunlight Exposure

Worldwide studies have confirmed that vast population globally is suffering from vitamin D deficiency that can be linked to not only calcium and bone metabolic disorders, but also to diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Traditionally, inadequate sunlight exposure was implicated in Vitamin D deficiency. However recent studies from the Middle East and other countries suggest the contrary and thus unreliable. Test based diagnostics remain the most desirable way to prevent and treat Vitamin D deficiency rather than relying on sunshine.

Treatable Condition

Background: Death and the anxiety of it becomes more apparent when confronted with a chronic disease. Even though multiple sclerosis (MS) is a treatable condition today, it is still accompanied by a multitude of impairments, which in turn may intensify of death anxiety. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between depression, anxiety and death anxiety in individuals with MS. Methods: Fifty-six MS patients were recruited at the Department of Neurology of the University Clinic in Basel. Death anxiety was assessed using the Bochumer Questionnaire on attitude to death and death anxiety 2.0 (BOFRETTA 2.0). Results: Scores of death anxiety towards it in MS patients were low. Only disability (EDSS) was moderately correlated with death anxiety. Depression in MS was significantly correlated with fatigue and disability, but not with the BOFRETTA 2.0. Conclusion: Scores of death anxiety and the attitude towards death are low in this MS cohort. It was shown that both psychopathological and neurological deficits impact the subject of death with respect to multiple sclerosis.
