[Clinical-EMG characteristic of myasthenia gravis associated with thyroid pathology]
Abstract:
On the basis of clinical-EMG analyses, the researches have revealed the criteria characteristic of myasthenia associated with thyroid pathologies. The myasthenia process associated with thyroid pathology is mainly characterized as of generalized average intensity. Alongside with mup-s with reduced duration and amplitude characteristic of myasthenia, EMG exposes potentials with comparatively long duration and high amplitude (mainly when the process is associated with thyreotoxycosis). It should also be noted that spontaneous activity is intensively expressed. Considering all the above mentioned, we can conclude that these changes show disfunctioning of mup-s rather than the character of synapses caused by the process associated with the myasthenia. The results of the research will facilitate the timely revelation of the process associated with myasthenia and will lead to the unfailing adequate pathogenetic treatment.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
