Comparative Analysis of Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIg) vs Plasmapheresis (PLEX) in the Management of Myasthenic Crisis - PubMed

Comparative Analysis of Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIg) vs Plasmapheresis (PLEX) in the Management of Myasthenic Crisis - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39376877/

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting postsynaptic membranes in neuromuscular junctions, presenting as fatigable muscle weakness. Myasthenic crisis is a life-threatening complication characterized by severe respiratory insufficiency necessitating...

This article compares IVIg and PLEX for myasthenic crisis management, emphasizing individualized treatment based on patient factors, resources, and preferences, while advocating further research for definitive guidelines and improved outcomes.

Did you know? Stanford University made a groundbreaking advance with COSMOS, a bifocal microscopy technique that captures real-time movies of neural activity across the entire cerebral cortex of a mouse brain. By filming from three angles and computationally extracting the signals, they created a live video showing the brain's macroscopic activity, revealing the dynamic "electrical storm" of brain function in action.

How could this new method of visualizing brain activity transform our understanding of neural processes and neurological disorders?

Did you know? Originally developed in Switzerland, the HypoCat™ vaccine helps to reduce cat allergies by neutralizing Fel D 1, the protein most responsible for causing allergic reactions to cat dander in humans. When given to cats, the vaccine triggers their immune system to create antibodies against Fel D 1. Results from four separate studies have reported that the HypoCat™ vaccine caused no negative side effects for cats. The vaccine is projected to be available in the U.S. by the end of 2024. A similar vaccine for dogs is currently in the early stages of development.

How could vaccines like HypoCat™ revolutionize allergy treatments and improve the lives of pet owners with allergies?

Self-control isn't always effortful. Research shows successful self-control links to quick conflict resolution, automated habits, and strategic anticipation. By building better habits and planning for challenges, self-control becomes less about resisting impulses and more about effortless, effective strategies.
