    Activities of daily living and anxiety in patients with neurodegenerative diseases in the Peruvian association of multiple sclerosis. Lima-Peru-2022
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-04-22) Varela Rios, Omar Jhoel; Melgarejo Valverde, Jose Antonio
    Patients with neurodegenerative diseases, specifically multiple sclerosis, experience difficulty in daily activities as the pathology progresses, causing them to lose their motor skills, making even simple tasks like sitting or drinking a glass of water very challenging. On the other hand, anxiety intensifies because the patient feels clumsy and no longer useful to their family environment.

    Critical review: effect of vitamin d on multiple sclerosis management.
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-04-21) Infantes Vilca, Edwin Ronald; Bohórquez Medina, Andrea Lisbet
    Recent studies indicate that multiple sclerosis has been increasing worldwide, being the main cause of neurological disability in young adults. The objective of this critical review was to know the effect of vitamin D supplementation in the management of patients with multiple sclerosis. Through the principles of evidence-based nutrition (NuBE), a bibliographic search was carried out with MeSH and DeCS descriptors and related terms, in the Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Pubmed and Cochrane databases. After the CASPE critical reading analysis, the article was selected: “Effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in the management of multiple sclerosis: A systematic review”, which presents a level of IA evidence and a strong recommendation grade. The analysis allows us to conclude that, although the vitamin presents positive effects as part of the treatment of multiple sclerosis, it is still not conclusive given the heterogeneity of the studies; however, it is observed that supplementation is very favorable in those who have the vitamin D levels at the lower limit, therefore, it is important to analyze vitamin D levels in patients with multiple sclerosis.
