Exploring the Value of Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound in Neuromuscular Junction Disorders: A Pilot Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) is a validated technique for assessing muscle pathology, yet its role in disorders primarily affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains unclear. This pilot study aimed to explore whether QMUS is associated with structural muscle changes in patients with acquired or genetic NMJ ...

Management of Refractory Thymoma‐Associated Myasthenia Gravis With Sequential FcRn Antagonist and Complement Inhibition Combined With Resection of Pleural Dissemination

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with disseminated thymoma is often refractory to conventional treatments due to continuous autoantibody production. The optimal treatment strategy, particularly the combination of complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, and surgical resection in thymoma‐associated ...

Safety of Prednisone for Ocular Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2012
Treatment with chronic corticosteroids has been associated with frequent significant adverse effects. We hypothesized that a long-term low-dose prednisone regimen for ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) would have a low rate of major side effects.Consecutive OMG patients from a single institution over a 16-year period and treated with ≥1 month of daily ...

Familial Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis (Report Of 3 Cases)

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2003
Familial Autoimmune myasthenia gravis is rare, occurring in only about 1.3% cases of myasthenia gravis (MG). Here in we report a family with three family members affected by MG. Proband presented with generalised myasthenia where as the other two

INtraVESical immunoTherapy (INVEST) prior to radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: trial protocol

BJU International, EarlyView.
Background High‐risk non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (HRNMIBC) has a variable prognosis, managed predominantly by local surgical resection and intravesical Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), or radical cystectomy (RC). Current treatments are poorly tolerated, have supply limitations and often fail to control the disease.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Ocular myasthenia gravis accompanied by anosmia

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2016
We report a case of ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) accompanied by anosmia. A 76-year-old man had idiopathic anosmia of 2-year duration. Four months before consultation, he began to have drooping in the right upper eyelid along with muscle soreness, distension, and pain in the nape.

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...
