Bone health in people with epilepsy: is it impaired and what are the risk factors?

Seizure : the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association
Alison M Pack

Abstract

Diseases of the bone are becoming increasingly prevalent. Persons with epilepsy treated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are at greater risk as evidenced by changes in bone turnover, osteoporosis, alterations in bone quality, and fracture. Biochemical indices of bone and mineral metabolism including calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and bone turnover markers can be affected. AED exposure is a cause of secondary osteoporosis with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) secondary to poor bone accrual in children or accelerated bone loss in adults. Early reports described osteomalacia, a change in bone quality with increased unmineralized bone. Recent studies do not reveal osteomalacia, but there may be more subtle changes in bone quality. Multiple studies have found an increased risk of fractures in association with epilepsy and AED exposure. Cytochrome P450 enzyme inducing AEDs are most commonly associated with a negative impact on bone, but studies also suggest an effect of valproate. There is limited data regarding the newer AEDs. No single mechanism has emerged to explain all the changes in bone in association with epilepsy and AEDs. Although multiple therapies are available for the treatment of bone disease, there is limi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
