Development and External Validation of a Multivariable Model to Predict Early Minimal Symptom Expression Response in Adult Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Patients Treated With Efgartigimod

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
A multicenter adult gMG cohort from five tertiary centers in China (N = 118) received efgartigimod 10 mg/kg IV weekly × 4. Early minimal symptom expression (MSE) response was defined as MG‐ADL ≤ 1 sustained ≥ 4 weeks and assessed within 4 weeks. A three‐factor nomogram (bulbar MG‐ADL subscore, FVC% predicted, serum IgG) was developed in the derivation ...

Perioperative Outcomes and Long-term Survival in Clinically Early-stage Thymic 
Malignancies: Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Thymectomy versus Open Approaches

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2016
Background and objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) theoretically offers advantages over open thymectomy for clinically early-stage (Masaoka-Koga stage I and II) thymic malignancies. However, longterm outcomes have not been well studied.

Chronic Productive Cough in an Immunosuppressed Patient due to Biologics: A Rare Case of Bordetella bronchiseptica Pulmonary Infection

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
This case illustrates features of ground glass changes on radiology in a patient who was immunosuppressed with biologics. Microbiology confirmed infection with Bordetella bronchiseptica, highlighting the importance of looking for atypical infections in patients receiving biologics and the importance of pet ownership history.

Are the minimally invasive techniques the new gold standard in thymus surgery for myasthenia gravis? Experience of a reference single-site in VATS thymectomy

Frontiers in Neurology
The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ responsible for the maturation and proliferation of T lymphocytes. During the first years of our lives, the activation and inactivation of T lymphocytes occur within the thymus, facilitating the correct maturation

Venous thromboembolism after adult thymus or thymic tumor resection: A single‐center experience

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common postoperative complication. Previous studies have shown that the VTE incidence after major thoracic surgery is high. However, there have been no exclusive data after thymectomy thus far.
