Bone Mineral Density in Patients Receiving Anticonvulsant Drugs

open access: yesTürk Osteoporoz Dergisi, 2002
The study was carried out to determine possible effects of anticonvulsant drugs on bone mineral density. Twenty two patients with epilepsy who have been receiving anticonvulsant drugs and also 22 healthy controls were included in the study.

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Relative Contribution of Trabecular and Cortical Bone to Primary Implant Stability: An In vitro Model Study

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences
Background: Primary implant stability is a crucial factor for the successful osseointegration and long-term success of dental implants. The contribution of trabecular and cortical bone to primary implant stability is not well understood.

Calcium‐sensing receptor induces the apoptosis of chondrocytes in cooperation with phosphate transporter

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Excess Ca2+ ions activate the Calcium‐Sensing Receptor (CaSR), which subsequently drives the uptake of excess inorganic phosphate (Pi) via the Pi transporter (Pit−1) in chondrocytes. This mechanism causes a toxic increase in intracellular Pi concentration, ultimately leading to chondrocyte apoptosis and pathological mineralization. Excess extracellular

Bone health and evaluation of bone mineral density in patients with premature ovarian insufficiency

open access: yesMenopause Review, 2018
Oestrogens exert an influence on skeletal homeostasis during growth and adulthood. Regulation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts generation and apoptosis and prolongation of the lifespan of osteocytes are some of their actions on bone metabolism.

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis: Superiority of Age‐ and BMI‐Corrected Z Scores/Percentiles Over Absolute Cutoff Values for Prediction of Treatment Response

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prognostication of disease course and prediction of treatment response in multiple sclerosis is an unmet need. We compared the performance of serum neurofilament light chain Z scores (age‐ and BMI‐adjusted) with absolute concentrations for the prediction of response to disease‐modifying therapy.

Durability of Response to B‐Cell Maturation Antigen‐Directed mRNA Cell Therapy in Myasthenia Gravis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We report the 12‐month follow‐up outcomes from a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04146051) evaluating Descartes‐08, a BCMA‐directed RNA chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (rCAR‐T) therapy for refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG).
