Autoantibodies in neuromuscular disorders: a review of their utility in clinical practice
Frontiers in NeurologyA great proportion of neuromuscular diseases are immune-mediated, included myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, acute- and chronic-onset autoimmune neuropathies (anti-MAG neuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndromes,

Neurological Research and Practice, 2020 Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare, autoimmune or paraneoplastic condition characterized by muscle weakness and fatigability. In cancer therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) sensitize the immune system for tumor antigens.

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenia Syndrome Initial Presentation Mimicking Myasthenia Gravis
, 2023 The neuromuscular junction disorders myasthenia gravis (MG) and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) both present with muscle weakness but usually have clinical features that distinguish the 2 disorders (1-3)

Non-paraneoplastic Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome: a brief review of 10 cases
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2010 Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an immune-mediated disorder of the presynaptic neuromuscular transmission, which more frequently occurs as the remote effect of a neoplasm, in the paraneoplastic form (P-LEMS), or in a non-paraneoplastic form ...

The Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
, 2013 The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction. The main symptom in LEMS is proximal muscle weakness in the legs, which is the presenting symptom in most patients. Autonomic dysfunction is also part of

Electrophysiological study in neuromuscular junction disorders
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2013 This review is on ultrastructure and subcellular physiology at normal and abnormal neuromuscular junctions. The clinical and electrophysiological findings in myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), congenital myasthenic syndromes ...

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2016 Neuromuscular junction disorders affect the pre- or postsynaptic nerve to muscle transmission due to autoimmune antibodies. Members of the group like myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton syndrome have pathophysiologically distinct characteristics. However,
