due to the preexisting disease or new diagnosis. Consider a patient with diabetes who presents with sensory symptoms; these may be related to diabetic neuropathy or MS disease progression, and determining the origin of these symptoms is critical for treatment.
Communication between neurologists and other medical specialties may help to avoid drug-drug interactions and adverse events such as hospitalization. As essential as it is to make an accurate MS diagnosis and begin an appropriate DMT, preventing and managing comorbidities can be equally important in slowing the progression of disability. The greater the number of comorbidities a patient has, the more likely they are to switch from their first DMT therapy and less likely they are to remain on DMT that may be most effective at preventing MS progression.
20
Comorbidities Can Increase Mortality
Compared with the general population, mortality in MS is increased, with a life expectancy on average 10 years shorter.
21
It stands to reason that the addition of comorbidities has the
potential to further decrease life expectancy. 21 One Canadian study found ischemic heart disease, depression, diabetes, and lung comorbidities to increase mortality in MS. 22 Managing underlying comorbidities, treating depression and anxiety are challenges often faced by internists caring for MS patients.
13
Counseling on smoking cessation is also often a challenge, but very important as smoking has been shown to contribute to disability progression.
Comorbidities Can Affect Disability
Several cross sectional studies have suggested that an increase in comorbidities correlates to an increase in disability. For example, one study examining cardiovascular risk scores in MS found a direct relationship between the Framingham General Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score and MS severity scale. 23 The NARCOMS had suggested that increased

vascular comorbidities such as heart disease and diabetes increased risk of walking difficulties.
16
Lifestyle Choices Affect Disease Progression
Neurologists, MS specialists, and other nonneurological specialists must coordinate to formulate a treatment approach, the ultimate objective being overall wellness. Diet has proven to play an important role in symptom severity and disability. Diet and exercise have been associated with decreased disability and also decrease in symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and pain. 19 Maintaining a healthy diet can contribute to the slowing of disease progression. A recent study found an increase in lesions on MRI imaging in MS patients with hyperlipidemia.

It is essential to encourage
and educate patients about the benefits of optimal health behaviors, such as smoking cessation, maintaining a healthy weight and physical activity benefits. Some of the health measures important in MS management include smoking cessation, normalizing vitamin D levels, maintaining healthy body weight (with BMI < 25), encouraging a diet high in fruits and vegetables and whole grains and low in sugar and red meat, exercise, and social stimulation.
24,26
Smoking is
particularly injurious, given the effects it can have not only on MS disability but many common comorbid vascular conditions such as hypertension and heart disease. Identification of comorbidities, increasing patient awareness of the severity and need for treatment of these diseases, and coordinating with the primary care doctor can have a positive impact on health­related outcomes. 27 An example of a patient case study where interdisciplinary coordination improved overall level of functioning is the following.
A 44-year-old woman, with a history of relapsing MS, who although had been relapse free while being treated with Tysabri, became John Cunningham virus antibody positive, and decision was made to switch to rituximab. She was experiencing severe frequent migraines, occurring at least 15 times monthly. She also had history of chronic low-back pain
https://t.me/medicina_free
which had led her to become dependent on narcotic medications. Depression was also present in part due to chronic pain and decreased ability to function. Sleep was impaired and this was contributing to increase in day time fatigue. She was unable to work. To best manage this patient, a multipronged approach was necessary. She was switched to rituximab for her DMT and has responded well. She has no new MRI lesions or relapses. For her lower back pain, physical therapy was recommended and she was also referred to pain specialist who did try epidural injections to decrease pain but what did eventually provide patient with significant overall pain relief was the use of medicinal marijuana. She was able to eliminate use of narcotics and other anticonvulsant medications she had taken for pain relief such as gabapentin. Magnesium supplement helped with nighttime cramping that she experienced. She was referred to psychiatry who treated her with low-dose venlafaxine for depression. Botox injections have been used for chronic migraine, and these are significantly improved. She has resumed part time work and is also doing yoga, which has been beneficial for her back pain. Regarding vaccinations, she received Shingrix first dose 4 weeks before rituximab infusion.
In the next chapter, we will have greater discussion of vaccination use in MS patients and the various DMTs and their monitoring requirements.

Internal Medicine II: Disease-Modifying Therapies and Adverse Effects
Mary Ann Picone Constantine J. Pella
Introduction
Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are at the forefront of treatment for the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is important for the internist and nonneurologist to understand the administration of DMTs and the adverse effects and infection risks associated with some of the newer DMTs. For more information on the mechanism of action of DMTs, please refer to the Immunology chapter.
As you can see from Figure 6.1, there are multiple DMTs available now with different mechanisms of actions. Table 6.1 shows the stratification of the different therapies organized by efficacy. These are approved for relapsing forms of MS, and ocrelizumab is approved also for primary progressive MS. The challenge in choosing treatment is trying to do the best to individualize treatment for a heterogeneous disease. Choosing the optimal individualized treatment regimen involves evaluating patient lifestyle, comorbidities, support system, benefits and risks of treatment, timing of pregnancy, and prognostic disease profile and encouraging the patient to have realistic expectations of what the therapies can do. Although none of the treatments are cures, the goal is to achieve as close to what is referred to as NEDA, no evidence of disease activity. This refers to no new activity noted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), no relapses, and no clinical disease
https://t.me/medicina_free
progression. Considering the higher-efficacy agents available today, there is a lower threshold to keep a patient on a therapy that may be suboptimal. It is important that patients are followed closely, particularly early on in the disease course and when new therapies are initiated to monitor for efficacy and adverse events. We have no biomarkers at present to predict which patients will respond to a certain therapy; however, neurofilament light protein is a proposed biomarker for MS disease activity and treatment response. This is a structural component of neurons and axons. Neurofilaments are released into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after axonal injury. Levels increase during relapse, and initial CSF levels may help to predict disease course. These are still investigational at this point.

Injections
Copaxone (Glatiramer Acetate)
This is an immunomodulator used for patients with relapsing­remitting MS. It consists of the acetate salts of synthetic polypeptides, containing four naturally occurring amino acids:
l-glutamic acid, l-alanine, l-tyrosine, and l-lysine. Designed to
mimic a protein in myelin, Copaxone binds to major histocompatibility complex molecules and competes with myelin antigens for T cells, which induces specific suppressor cells of the T helper 2 (Th2) type that migrate to the brain where they express the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor beta, in addition to brain-derived neurotrophic factor. 1 Recent evidence suggests that Copaxone directly inhibits dendritic cells and monocytes, both of which are circulating antigen-presenting cells. 7 There is no required blood work monitoring with Copaxone.
Interferon
Interferons as a class need to have complete blood count (CBC) with differential and liver function profile monitored generally every 6 months. Depression has been reported with interferons, although in clinical trials versus noninterferon therapy, no increased risk of depression was noted in patients treated with interferon. Flulike symptoms are the most common side effects, but dose titration can help to mitigate flulike symptoms. Injection-site reactions can also be seen, particularly with subcutaneous injections. Seizures have also been reported in patients given interferon therapy. Dosing with interferons (for adults) varies based on the brand:
Interferon beta-1b (Betaseron, Extavia): Initial:
0.0625 mg every other day, increase dose by 0.0625 mg
