Construction of ceRNA network mediated by circRNAs screening from microarray and identification of novel biomarkers for myasthenia gravis
CONCLUSIONS: We found that circFRMD4, circPIGB and circNUP214 can be considered as valuable potential novel biomarkers for AchR + MG. CircFRMD4 participate in the development of AchR + MG via targeting binding with miR-145-5p.PMID:38631652 | DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2024.148463 (Source: Gene)

Similar metabolic pathways are affected in both Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome-22 and Prader-Willi Syndrome
In conclusion, we provide the first molecular parallels between CMS22 and PWS, raising the possibility that PREPL substrates might become therapeutic targets for treating both disorders.PMID:38626828 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167175 (Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta)

Ten-year fracture risk in Japanese patients with myasthenia gravis: A comprehensive assessment using the fracture risk assessment tool
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an immune disorder that causes muscle weakness with an increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly in Japan. Glucocorticoid treatment for MG is problematic for bone health because of reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. The fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX ®) can estimate fracture risk, but its applicability in patients with MG remains uncertain. (Source: Journal of the Neurological Sciences)

Perspectives of people with myasthenia gravis on physical activity and experience of physical activity advice from health professionals in the Australian context: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: People with MG have unique barriers and enablers to physical activity engagement that clinicians should consider when providing physical activity behaviour change support to this population.PMID:38613411 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2338877 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Serum globulin in children with myasthenia gravis: predicting relapse and prognosis
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated globulin levels in children with MG on admission predicts a high relapse rate and poor long-term therapeutic efficacies.PMID:38602312 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2024.2340883 (Source: Neurological Research)

Respiratory paralysis in a patient with myasthenia gravis after ingestion of marine carnivorous gastropods: A case report
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2828-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe salivary glands of marine carnivorous gastropods contain tetramines, which usually cause mild symptoms of poisoning. However, these symptoms may be fatal in rare cases. A 58-year-old woman with a history of myasthenia gravis complained of dyspnea after consuming marine carnivorous gastropods with intact salivary glands. Upon arrival at the hospital, her blood gas analysis revealed type II respiratory failure with a pCO2 of 154 mmHg. Tracheal intubation was immediately performed. Her respiratory condition improved the following ...
