OBJECTIVE
The possible interaction between adolescent obesity and past infectious mononucleosis (IM) was investigated with regard to multiple sclerosis (MS) risk.
METHODS
This report is based on two population-based case-control studies, one with incident cases (1780 cases, 3885 controls) and one
OBJECTIVE
Most of the extra-cranial venous abnormalities have been previously described as truncular venous malformations. In this hypothesis-driven study, we evaluated possible association of risk/protective factors with the presence of truncular and functional venous abnormalities in internal
We report a case of a 25-year-old obese, currently smoking, female diagnosed with EBV infectious mononucleosis. The patient complained of sudden onset abdominal pain with progressively increasing intensity in the left upper quadrant. Abdominal CT scan showed a wedge infarct of the spleen. We present
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association between obesity and multiple sclerosis (MS) while accounting for established genetic and environmental risk factors.
METHODS
Participants included members of Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Plan, Northern California Region (KPNC) (1235 MS cases and 697

OBJECTIVE
Inflammatory risk factors in childhood, e.g. obesity, impact on carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT), an early indicator of atherosclerosis. Little is known on potential infectious origins in childhood. We investigated the association between number of reported different childhood
BACKGROUND
The lifestyle factors smoking and obesity have been associated with the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). Physical activity (PA) may also be of importance.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between PA and MS risk in Italy, Norway, and Sweden and to evaluate the possible influence by
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system with an unidentified etiology. We systematically reviewed the literature on the possible risk factors associated with MS disease onset, relapses and progression from 1960 to 2012 by accessing six databases and including
OBJECTIVE
The findings from existing research on the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are inconsistent. Most previous studies are limited to one country and do not adequately adjust for other risk factors for the disease.
METHODS
The association between SES
The area of multiple sclerosis (MS) epidemiology has expanded during the last few years. Established lifestyle and environmental factors influencing MS risk are Epstein-Barr virus infection, sun exposure/vitamin D, and smoking. We review these factors and a series of other potential candidates
