Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Assessing Cognitive Workload and Performance in the Operating Room: Challenges in Applying NASA‐TLX Among Experienced Surgeons

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical performance and cognitive workload (CWL) are central determinants of operative outcomes. Most prior studies have relied on simulated environments, limiting their clinical relevance. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA‐TLX) to ...

Exclusive real-time monitoring during recurrent laryngeal nerve dissection in conventional monitored thyroidectomy

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
During conventional intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in thyroidectomy, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is detected by an electromyographic (EMG) loss of signal (LOS) after the nerve dissection.
