The flu is a disease, accompanied mankind for centuries, but it remains a serious medical and social problem in our days. The flu can be manifested in the form of pandemics, epidemics, local outbreaks and isolated cases. Worst flu epidemics caused by type A influenza virus.The flu epidemics occur almost every year. The main factors that determine the risk of disease are: level then its predecessor specific immunity and age of infected them - the final ages are extremely susceptible to infection. Complications of influenza are mainly from the lungs, and less of the nervous system. They are more common in patients of advanced age.

"This website is about Vitamin D and MS Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with an uncertain cause. Colleen Hayes and Donald Achaeson have suggested that insufficient sunlight exposure and chronic viral infections might be unrelated environmental risk factors for MS. These risk factors may act synergistically to enable the pathogenic autoimmune response. The prevalence of MS is highest where environmental supplies of vitamin D are lowest. Sunshine enables the production of vitamin D3 (VD3) in the skin. Epidemiological studies have shown that higher vitamin D blood levels are associated with lower risk, less relapses and a slower progression of multiple sclerosis. Higher vitamin D levels can be achieved in part by increased oral intake of VD3. Optimal health requires serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels higher than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) P Lips, 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) P Heaney or at least 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) R Vieth. "

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter that widely distributed in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). As a phylogenetically ancient signaling molecule, 5-HT serves as a target of numerous physiologic regulators, including modulators of gene transcription, neurotrophic factors and steroids.

Neuroinflammatory response is primarily an inherent protective mechanism in the central nervous system (CNS). In intact nerves of the CNS, glial cells (including astrocytes and microglia) play a key role in critical support, and can respond to any degree of CNS injury and disease.
