Additionally, the network between these noncoding RNAs, such as the competing endogenous RNA regulatory network, has been found to be involved in MG progression. In this review, we summarized the roles of miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA, highlighted their potential application as biomarkers in diagnosing MG, and discussed their potential regulatory networks in the abnormal thymus and PBMCs during MG development.

Mimetic cells are evolutionarily ancient, having been conserved from zebrafish to mouse to man. Steroids and Me (SAM) is a unique patient-focused resource that engages, educates, and equips users to understand and reduce steroid-toxicity, facilitating conversations that foster shared decision making around steroid use.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of conducting comprehensive multi-omics analyses on PBMCs from patients with autoimmune disease pre- and post-CAR T-cell therapy. The observed molecular signatures in immune cell subsets represent promising avenues for future investigations into the mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of CAR T-cell therapy in autoimmune disease.

The observed molecular signatures in immune cell subsets represent promising avenues for future investigations into the mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of CAR T-cell therapy in autoimmune disease. Elevated Antibody Concentration Ratio is intrinsically linked with refractory MG and exhibits potential as an diagnostic biomarker for the condition.

Although the exact cause is not fully understood, it is known that the onset and exacerbations of MG can occur after viral infections. We present the case of a patient with no prior history of MG with new-onset proximal muscle weakness and ptosis, following SARS-CoV-2 infection, This case underscores the potential for autoimmune diseases to be triggered by SARS-CoV-2.
- |||||||||| Journal: Atypical Presentations of Myasthenia Gravis as Acute Respiratory Failure: A Rare Case. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 24, 2024
This makes the management of respiratory comorbidities essential, as respiratory tract infections can lead to exacerbations of MG and trigger a myasthenic crisis, necessitating immediate medical intervention. This report highlights a patient who initially presented with acute respiratory distress and was subsequently diagnosed with MG, underscoring the importance of recognizing respiratory symptoms in the context of this condition.
- |||||||||| Journal: CGG/CCG Repeat Expansions in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1 in Thai Patients With Oculopharyngodistal Myopathy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 23, 2024
While initially characterized as oculopharyngeal myopathy with leukoencephalopathy (OPML) in a Japanese family, our study suggests a stronger association between CGG/CCG expansion in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1 and oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM) rather than OPML. The variable presence or absence of leukoencephalopathy further supports OPDM as the predominant clinical manifestation linked to CGG/CCG expansion in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1.

Review, Journal: Sugammadex and neuromuscular disease: a systematic review with assessment of reporting quality and content validity. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 21, 2024 These uncontrolled observations (of mainly low to moderate quality and validity) do not allow confident assessment of the efficacy and safety of sugammadex for the reversal of NMBAs in patients with neuromuscular diseases. Reporting of observational data should follow established guidelines, include specific information to ensure validity, and emphasise what the new data add to current knowledge.

The disease can be prevented by a MuSK agonist antibody, presented either prophylactically or after disease onset. These findings suggest a therapeutic alternative to generalized immunosuppression for treating MuSK MG by selectively and directly targeting the disease mechanism.

The study supports the significance of thymoma, antistriational antibodies, and late-onset MG as key factors associated with cardiac involvement in MG patients. It emphasizes the importance of ECG as the initial test in managing MG patients, particularly in the perioperative period, to identify and genetic testing if needed to address their cardiac risk effectively.
