Recent Hospitalization and Initiation of Antiepileptics Among Persons With Alzheimer's Disease.

Objectives: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are frequently prescribed for persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but little is known on factors associated with AED initiation in this population. We investigated whether recent hospitalization is associated with AED initiation in persons with AD.

Design: Nested case-control study in the nationwide register-based Medication use and Alzheimer's disease (MEDALZ) cohort.

Common Oral Manifestations of Select Systemic Diseases: Anemia, Diabetes Mellitus and HIV.

The purpose of this discussion is to increase clinical awareness for establishing differential diagnoses so that patients may obtain appropriate referrals for appropriate medical treatment.
