Risk factors for generalization of ocular myasthenia gravis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40995903/
The majority of patients with OMG develop generalized disease within the first two years. Major risk factors for generalization include female sex, elevated AChR antibody titers, and abnormal findings on...
Retrospective cohort of ocular myasthenia gravis patients found 65.6% progressed to generalized MG, mostly within two years; age, sex, antibody status, and thymoma were key predictors of disease generalization.
Correlation of C-Reactive Protein With Severe Fatigue in Patients With Myasthenia Gravis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40966533/
Our findings suggest that chronic low-grade inflammation, mediated by CRP, contributes to the pathogenesis of fatigue in MG. This aligns with the hypothesis that local peripheral inflammatory processes induce systemic...
This study found a strong correlation between C-reactive protein levels and severe fatigue in myasthenia gravis, suggesting systemic low-grade inflammation may drive fatigue pathophysiology beyond neuromuscular weakness.
Association of Race and Social Determinants of Health With Exacerbations in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40936410/
Potential racial disparities exist in the occurrence of MG exacerbations. Further investigation of potential drivers is warranted. At-risk populations should be a focus for healthcare and patient support provision.
This retrospective cohort study found that Black patients with generalized myasthenia gravis face higher risk of exacerbations versus White patients, independent of income or insurance coverage, underscoring racial disparities in disease outcomes.
Acupuncture Treatment for Individuals With Myasthenia Gravis - A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40894412/
The results demonstrated that acupuncture treatment was overall feasible and safe in individuals with MG. Participants also self-reported improvements in MG symptoms. Next steps will include development of an efficacy...
A pilot randomized trial evaluated acupuncture for myasthenia gravis, showing feasibility, safety, and self-reported symptom improvements. Findings suggest acupuncture may complement standard therapy, warranting larger efficacy studies in generalized MG care.
The Etiology Analysis of Myasthenia Gravis with In-Hospital Mortality in the Neurocritical Care Unit - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40877497/
The study suggests that thymoma may increase the risk of death, with septic shock and myasthenic crisis being the most frequent underlying causes in patients with MG.
This retrospective study of 3,723 hospitalized MG patients identified septic shock, myasthenic crisis, and thymoma as key mortality drivers, highlighting infection management and thymoma-associated risks as critical factors in neurocritical care.
