Investigating the potential link between lunar cycle and multiple sclerosis relapses: a call for further studies
Libyan J Med. 2023 Dec;18(1):2238354. doi: 10.1080/19932820.2023.2238354.ABSTRACTMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease that causes inflammation of the central nervous system, resulting in myelin damage and axon degeneration. Although the cause of MS remains unknown, various factors such as sex, latitude, sun exposure, serum vitamin D levels, Epstein Barr Virus infection, diet, microbiota and ethnicity are being studied for their potential roles in the development of the disease. While chronobiological factors such as circadian rhythm and seasonality have been explored for their potential influence on the onset,...

Screening of interleukin 17F gene polymorphisms and eight subgingival pathogens in chronic periodontitis in Libyan patients
Conclusion: P. intermedia appear as keystone pathogen for CP in the Libyan population. A novel variant in the IL-7F gene may be related to the severity of CP.PMID:37347817 | PMC:PMC10288900 | DOI:10.1080/19932820.2023.2225252 (Source: Libyan Journal of Medicine)
