Myasthenic Crisis in Thymoma-Associated Myasthenia Gravis: a Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Myasthenic Crisis in Thymoma-Associated Myasthenia Gravis: a Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37783628/

Thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis (TMG) had more severe symptoms and worse prognoses in comparison to non-thymoma-associated MG. Thymoma recurrence was frequently associated with transient worsening of MG and even acute respiratory...

Within the TMG group, the hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with unresected thymoma compared to that in postoperative myasthenic crisis (POMC) (47.68±24.9 [6-111] vs. 34.21±18.87 days [12-82]; P = 0.0257). Early identification of the MG categories may provide some hints in tailoring therapeutic strategies to improve the...

Altered Gut Microbiota and Metabolites in Untreated Myasthenia Gravis Patients

Altered Gut Microbiota and Metabolites in Untreated Myasthenia Gravis Patients

Our findings suggest that dysbiosis already exists in newly diagnosed and untreated MG patients, implying that dysbiosis within the gut microbiota may be an initiating factor contributing to MG pathogenesis....

Our findings suggest that dysbiosis already exists in newly diagnosed and untreated MG patients, implying that dysbiosis within the gut microbiota may be an initiating factor contributing to MG pathogenesis. Furthermore, F. prausnitzii may hold promise as a probiotic for treating MG.

Comparison Between Sugammadex and Neostigmine After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery-Thymectomy in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis: a Single-Center Retrospective Exploratory Analysis

Comparison Between Sugammadex and Neostigmine After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery-Thymectomy in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis: a Single-Center Retrospective Exploratory Analysis

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37763148/

This single-center retrospective exploratory analysis evaluated the effects of sugammadex compared with neostigmine on postoperative recovery in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-thymectomy. This retrospective...

Patients with MG following VATS-thymectomy who received sugammadex showed a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay than those who received neostigmine.

Eye Segmentation Method for Telehealth: Application to the Myasthenia Gravis Physical Examination

Eye Segmentation Method for Telehealth: Application to the Myasthenia Gravis Physical Examination

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37765800/

Due to the precautions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, utilization of telemedicine has increased quickly for patient care and clinical trials. Unfortunately, teleconsultation is closer to a video...

We then use signal processing and filtering to derive robust metrics of ptosis and l ocular misalignment. In our construction, we have prioritized the robustness of the method versus accuracy obtained in controlled conditions in order to provide a method that can operate in standard telehealth conditions. The approach is general and can be...
