Disease burden in myasthenia gravis (MG) and in other autoimmune disorders is often determined by common accompanying symptoms such as fatigue, sleepiness and mood disturbances. Many MG patients have a second autoimmune disease, but it is unclear whether autoimmune comorbidities add to Myasthenia gravis (MG) is caused by T cell-dependent antibodies reactive with acetylcholine receptors. These autoreactive antibodies cause muscle weakness by interfering with neuromuscular transmission via removal of acetylcholine receptors from the neuromuscular junction as well as changing the
Maximum velocity and amplitude of repetitive ( 1-per-second) 30 degrees saccadic eye movements were quantitatively assessed for 4 minutes before and after intravenous edrophonium chloride as a diagnostic test for myasthenia gravis. Atropine was given initially to suppress muscarinic side effects.
BACKGROUND
Patients with myasthenia gravis often experience fatigue, but its effect on quality of life (QoL) is underestimated, and fatigue is rarely measured in clinical trials.
METHODS
Two hundred fifty-seven myasthenic patients completed the Neuro-QoL-Fatigue and measures of disease severity and
OBJECTIVE
Emerging evidence suggests that fatigue in myasthenia gravis (MG) is a relevant problem that negatively impacts activities of daily living (ADL). The relationship between fatigue and quality of life (QoL) has never been systematically explored in MG patients. The study aimed to assess the
BACKGROUND
We present a case of myositis and possible overlapping neuromuscular junction disorder following treatment with nivolumab for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
METHODS
We report a 75-year-old man with recurrent stage IVA, T1N2cM0 oral cavity HNSCC treated
A 17-year-old male underwent a second bone marrow transplantation using a 6/8 allele HLA-matched unrelated donor. On day 100 after transplantation, steroid treatment for chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was started. On day 766, the patient experienced general fatigue, followed by double
Myasthenia gravis is a paradigmatic muscle disorder characterized by abnormal fatigue and muscle weakness that worsens with activities and improves with rest. Clinical and research studies done on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have advanced our knowledge of the muscle involvement in myasthenia.
Acquired myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by exertional fatigue and weakness that is made worse with activity and improved with rest, only to recur with the resumption of activity. The pathology results from an antibody-mediated attack to several different epitopes of
BACKGROUND
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease characterized by weakness and fatigue of voluntary muscles. Surgical treatment of choice for myasthenia gravis has been thymectomy. However, thymectomy indications and surgical approach are still controversial. The purpose of this study is to
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by fluctuating weakness and skeletal muscle fatigue. Clinical signs and symptoms may vary considerably according to the age at presentation, patterns of autoantibodies and associated thymic abnormalities, so that therapeutic
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is mostly caused by anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) auto-antibodies (Abs). Such Abs are undetectable in 10-15% of MG patients, but many have anti-muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) Abs. We injected recombinant rat-MuSK extracellular domain in H-2(a), H-2(b), H-2(bm12) and H-2(d)
OBJECTIVE
To identify the role of fatigue, its evaluation and its causes in the pathophysiology context of acquired or hereditary neuromuscular diseases of the spinal anterior horn cell, peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction and muscle.
METHODS
A literature review has been done on Medline with
BACKGROUND
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common cause of acquired neuromuscular junction disorder. Thymectomy has been established as an effective therapy for MG, as it attenuates the natural course of the disease and may result in complete remission.
UNASSIGNED
We report the case of a

The association of myasthenia gravis (MG) with other autoimmune diseases including autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is well recognised, although rare. The occurrence of both diseases can occur in two ways: either disease preceding the other, or concurrently. The presentation of MG in
