57 The Diagnosis of Ocular Myasthenia GravisThe diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) based on history and physical examination alone is difficult.

63 Cigarette Smoking and Activities of Daily Living in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis"Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction most often caused by autoantibodies targeting the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Cigarette smoking is known to affect neuronal AChRs and it has been shown to influence other autoimmune diseases, but the effect of cigaret...Myasthenia Gravis, Neuroophthalmology & Systemic DiseaseNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
64 Concurrent Medical Therapy in Myasthenia GravisPatients with myasthenia gravis (MG) often require treatment with drugs for other, intercurrent medical conditions, as well as with the drugs used for the management of MG itself. Clinical observation over many years has led to an appreciation that such concurrent treatment with any of a large numbe...Myasthenia gravis, Concurrent treatment, Neuromuscular junction, Aminoglycoside, StatinNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
65 Primary Immunosuppresive Treatment of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis with Cyclosporine AImmunosuppressive therapy for ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) has usually consisted of systemic corticosteroids or azathioprine. Although each drug can induce a remission, each has drawbacks. Cyclosporine A (CsA) has been demonstrated in a controlled trial to be effective and safe in the suppression o...Immunosuppressive Treatment; Ocular Myasthenia Gravis; Cyclosporine ANeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
66 Self-Reported Visual Dysfunction in Ocular and Generalized Myasthenia GravisTo examine self-reported visual dysfunction in a cohort of patients with ocular (OMG) and generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) using the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25), and to identify content areas for a brief questionnaire that may provide additional informatio...vision; myasthenia gravis; quality of lifeNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
