Sleep and Respiratory Control Dysfunction
Abnormalities of the respiratory control centers of the brain stem impair normal breathing patterns and contribute to significant respiratory dysfunction in patients with MS. Involvement of neurons of the dorsal medullary group (responsible for inspiration and breathing rhythm) and ventral medullary group (responsible for expiration) of the respiratory control center located in the pons leads to dysrhythmic breathing. Patients experience loss of voluntary and autonomic respiratory control, paroxysmal ventilation, and apneustic breathing. In a study by Tantucci et al, measuring mouth occlusion pressures, patients with MS were found to have increased baseline respiratory drive when compared with control subjects. Their breathing response to carbon dioxide was preserved but failed to generate an adequate ventilatory response, which may reflect underlying muscle dysfunction.

Patients with MS have more abnormalities in sleep patterns than the general population. 9 They report a greater degree of abnormal sleep initiation and maintenance, snoring, nighttime shortness of breath, sleep adequacy, and higher levels of daytime somnolence. Brainstem involvement increases the risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
10
Additionally, patients with significant respiratory muscle
weakness may also develop nocturnal hypoventilation, although this is typically manifested in very advanced disease in bedridden patients.

Respiratory Failure
Two patterns of respiratory dysfunction are observed in patients with MS: acute respiratory failure secondary to lesions in the medulla and cervical spinal cord and chronic respiratory failure secondary to atelectasis, aspiration, and pneumonia caused by respiratory muscle dysfunction. Although uncommon, acute respiratory failure can occur in patients with new extensive demyelinating plaques and is suggestive of extensive bulbar disease. 2 These patients often

present with acute-onset dyspnea, orthopnea, or confusion in the setting of other motor findings typical of patients with MS, including findings such as quadriparesis and spastic paraplegia with upper arm weakness. 1 Commonly reported respiratory symptoms include progressive breathlessness, impaired cough, difficulty handling secretions, orthopnea, and sleep disturbances. When compounded by secondary systemic factors such as dehydration, aspiration pneumonitis, and sepsis, patients in acute respiratory failure often require mechanical ventilatory support and antibiotics.
11
Chronic respiratory failure develops in the terminal stages of disease. These patients are severely debilitated, often wheelchair bound with significant limb and respiratory muscle weakness. They have recurrent bouts of mucous plugging, atelectasis, aspiration with subsequent pneumonia secondary to respiratory muscle weakness, abnormal control of breathing, and an impaired cough.
Morbidity and Mortality
Respiratory muscle weakness is a known complication of MS and is identified in patients who are both ambulatory and bedbound. Assessment of muscle function is of critical value so that patients who are at high risk are identified early so that measures can be taken to prevent both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Although demyelination of respiratory motor tracts is the most common cause of muscle weakness, additional causes such as deconditioning, malnutrition, and steroid-induced myopathy may also play a role.
Mortality data in patients with MS have been conflicting, with some reporting only slightly higher mortality than that of the general population, 12 whereas others report rates three times higher than non-MS cohorts 13 (Figure 13.3). Regardless, almost half of MS deaths are related to respiratory disease

(Table 13.1). Therefore, general supportive measures such as influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, cough assist devices, and chest physiotherapy with aggressive suctioning should be instituted early. Additional treatment measures such

as respiratory muscle training, although shown to improve respiratory muscle function, have yet to show any clinical benefit such as improved cough efficacy or decreased need for invasive or noninvasive ventilation.

Public Health Considerations in Multiple Sclerosis
Nida Naushad Catherine Stratton Yetsa A. Tuakli-Wosornu
Introduction
The fundamental goal of public health is to prevent disease; promote physical, mental, and social health; and prolong life at the population level (World Health Organization [WHO]). Chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) have wide­reaching population-level impacts, so an understanding of these conditions is a central component of public health science. Today, MS affects approximately 2.5 million people worldwide, and the prevalence of this condition is growing. Given the morbidity and long-term disability associated with MS, which may include weakness, chronic pain, gait disturbance, and bladder dysfunction, it is important to understand the disease from a public health perspective. In this chapter, we discuss:
Screening and prevention strategies Health disparities related to MS The socioeconomic impact of MS Population-level awareness about MS
Better understanding of these aspects of MS can lead to the creation of programs and policies that promote prevention and early diagnosis, increase access to care and support, and improve overall quality of life for the millions of people living with MS.

Risk Factors
MS is a multifactorial disease, which likely arises as a result of a combination of genetics plus environmental exposures that lead to disease phenotype. Researchers have identified a number of genetic and environmental risk factors, which we also reviewed in our discussion of the epidemiology of MS in Chapter 1 (Table 14.1).
Table 14.1
Factors That May Influence MS Development
Genetics (e.g., HLA type) Gender Latitude Month and place of birth High-salt diet Gut microbiome Vitamin D Psychological or emotional stress Cigarette smoking Organic solvents Obesity Sex hormones EBV Early life infections
EBV, Epstein-Barr virus; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; MS, multiple sclerosis.
Risk Factors and Interventions
Genetics
In the 1890s, scientists noted a familial aggregation of MS, which led to the question of the role genetic factors played in disease development. 1 It has been concluded that first-degree relatives are at a 15- to 25-fold greater risk of developing MS compared with the general population. 2 A study of half- siblings in Canada found that there was an increased risk of MS among maternal half-siblings versus among paternal half­siblings, which informed how important maternal susceptibility to MS is for inheritance risk. 3 Furthermore,
https://t.me/medicina_free
another study investigated a group of interracial marriages in Canada between Caucasians and North American Aboriginals; the study found that index cases with a Caucasian mother and North American Aboriginal father had a higher rate of sibling recurrence versus patients with an Aboriginal mother and a Caucasian father, supporting the role of maternal genetics in MS development.

Sex
Similar to many other autoimmune diseases, MS is more common among women than among men. 5 Incidence rates are rising more quickly among women as well, so recent statistics estimate that the ratio of women to men with MS is 2.3 to
3.5:1. 6 Of note, pregnancy appears to be a protective factor that is associated with lower risk of onset and better prognosis in MS. 7 Despite the greater incidence of disease among women, research suggests that men have an increased likelihood of developing a more severe presentation of disease,
8
follow a more malignant course, 9 and have worse recovery
after an initial flare-up in their symptoms.
10
Epstein-Barr Virus
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a double-stranded DNA γ­herpesvirus causing lifelong infection in over 90% of the world’s adult population. 11 Delayed primary infection with EBV, evidenced by infectious mononucleosis, seems to be an important factor in developing MS. 12 MS is less common among those with early childhood infection, which is often asymptomatic or mild. 13 There is also a low risk of developing MS among those who were never infected. 13 This understanding of EBV has numerous implications for treatment strategies. Studies show that antiviral therapy may reduce relapses or reduce the number of new active brain lesions in some of those affected. One study found that therapy with acyclovir decreased the relapse rate by 34% in patients with relapsing-remitting MS. 11 The apparent relationship between EBV and MS has broader public health implications;
https://t.me/medicina_free
researchers have posited the utility of a vaccine against MS or early exposure to EBV as a means of prevention.
13
Vitamin D Hypothesis
With some exceptions, there is an increased incidence of MS among those living further from the equator. This distribution exists even after accounting for HLA-DRB1 allele frequencies, suggesting that there is an environmental factor associated with latitude, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure/vitamin D. 14 UV radiation exposure has been associated with reduced MS risk, 20-fold stronger than other environmental factors. 15 However, an unusual relationship is found in northern Scandinavia, where there is a lower MS prevalence in spite of the weak sunlight. 14 Of note, this population has a much higher dietary vitamin D intake than that found in the rest of Europe. 14 A move to encourage increased vitamin D intake (e.g., via supplementation) could be a public health initiative in at-risk populations.
Smoking
Smoking cigarettes and exposure to secondhand smoke have been associated with an increased risk of MS. 16 Duration of exposure to passive smoking was associated with MS risk in a dose-dependent manner among never smokers. Those who reported smoking more than 10 pack-years and exposure to passive smoking for more than 20 years had nearly three times higher risk of developing MS compared with those who reported no exposure to tobacco smoke. Furthermore, smoking is associated with worse MS prognosis, with those who started smoking at a younger age being the most likely to develop progressive disease at an earlier onset. 17 Thus, public health initiatives to decrease rates of smoking may also help improve MS outcomes. The following are examples of programs that promote smoking cessation:
A multipronged approach, which combines both pharmacotherapy and behavioral support, increases rates of smoking cessation compared with usual care or
