Characterizing Perinatal Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Myasthenia Gravis. [PDF]
Muscle NerveABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Studies on pregnancy in myasthenia gravis (MG) are limited by small sample sizes or examine a limited number of outcomes. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of perinatal and infant outcomes and characterize perinatal treatment patterns in MG.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978 The basic abnormality in myasthenia gravis (MG) is a reduction in acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at neuromuscular junctions due to the effects of autoantibodies that are directed against the AChRs in most patients, or against neighboring proteins involved in the clustering of AChRs (MuSK, LRP-4, or agrin).

Meta-analysis of subxiphoid approach versus lateral approach for thoracoscopic Thymectomy
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020 Background Compared with traditional open surgery for thymectomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces hospital stay, decreases postoperative pain, and recovers faster. VATS has become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2007 Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder. Contemporary prevalence rates approach 1/5,000. MG presents with painless, fluctuating, fatigable weakness involving specific muscle groups. Ocular weakness with asymmetric ptosis and binocular diplopia is the most typical initial presentation, while early or isolated ...

The Lancet, 2001 Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder mainly caused by antibodies to the muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. Loss of these receptors leads to a defect in neuromuscular transmission with muscle weakness and fatigue.
