Neurology
. 2012 Apr;
78(19):1500-6.
PMID: 22539566
Objective: To assess the association of multiple sclerosis (MS) with concurrent restless legs syndrome (RLS) and daytime sleepiness. We also prospectively examined whether women with MS had an increased risk...

Mult Scler
. 2011 Jun;
17(10):1185-93.
PMID: 21685232
Background: Elevated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibody titers are risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS), but the strength and consistency of this association are not well characterized. Objectives: The objectives of...

Riise T, Mohr D, Munger K, Rich-Edwards J, Kawachi I, Ascherio A
Neurology
. 2011 Jun;
76(22):1866-71.
PMID: 21624985
Objective: Several studies have shown that stressful life events are associated with a subsequent significant increase in risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) exacerbations. We wanted to study prospectively whether stress...

J Neurol
. 2011 Mar;
258(9):1676-82.
PMID: 21431378
Risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) decreases with increasing plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. If this association reflected a protective effect of vitamin D, MS risk should be lower among...

Acta Neurol Scand
. 2010 Jul;
124(1):53-8.
PMID: 20636447
Background: Prior infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an established risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). Some findings from observational studies, including possible epidemics and differences in prevalence, may be...

Clin Exp Immunol
. 2010 Apr;
160(1):120-4.
PMID: 20415861
While the causes of multiple sclerosis (MS) are unknown, there is strong evidence that infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an important factor. In this review, we discuss the epidemiological...

J Neurol
. 2009 May;
256(10):1643-8.
PMID: 19468784
Because of evidence implicating oxidative stress in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis, it has been postulated that high levels of urate, a potent antioxidant, could reduce risk or favorably influence disease progression....
