Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

1.3K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

225
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

345
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

396
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) is an uncommon neurological disorder.
  • It is characterized by acute onset of severe shoulder pain followed by muscle weakness.

Observation:

  • A case study details a male in his 40s experiencing intense shoulder pain and subsequent upper limb weakness.
  • Symptoms developed over 3 months following COVID-19 vaccination.

Findings:

  • Electroneuromyography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of PTS.
  • The patient showed positive response to analgesics and physical rehabilitation.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of PTS post-vaccination is essential for prompt diagnosis.
  • Early recognition can prevent unnecessary investigations and interventions, guiding appropriate treatment.
