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 ...

“White and Clear” (WaC): A tunable hydrophilic tissue clearing strategy for multi‐species 3D imaging

VIEW, EarlyView.
Optical tissue clearing methods help scientists make tissues transparent to image structures deep inside organs in 3D, but many existing techniques are limited in performance and difficulty. In this study, we developed an optimized clearing method called WaC (White and Clear), which improves upon existing techniques by combining efficient tissue ...

Randomized trial of thymectomy in myasthenia gravis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Thymectomy has been a mainstay in the treatment of myasthenia gravis, but there is no conclusive evidence of its benefit. We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial comparing thymectomy plus prednisone with prednisone alone.

Margin-negative resection and long-term survival following robot-assisted thymectomy for thymoma: A tumor size stratified analysisCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: Although open thymectomy has traditionally been the gold standard for resection of large thymic tumors, growing evidence has suggested minimally invasive thymectomy to confer comparable survival. However, the influence of incremental increases

Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated with Thymolipoma: Complete Anaemia Resolution following Thymectomy

Case Reports in Hematology, 2018
Pure red cell aplasia is an uncommon cause of anaemia rarely associated with thymoma. A combination of immunosuppressive therapy and thymectomy offers a potential cure. Thymectomy alone rarely results in anaemia resolution.
