103 The Pathophysiology of Myasthenia GravisMyasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease directed against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of skeletal muscle. Unlike many presumed autoimmune diseases, both the antigen (theAChR) and the antibody (AChR-ab) for MG have been identified. A naturally occurring form of the disease exis...Myasthenia Gravis; Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor; Neuromuscular JunctionNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu

110 Walsh & Hoyt: Myasthenia GravisMG is a disease characterized clinically by muscle weakness and fatigability, caused by a reduction in the number of available ACh receptors at NMJs. Receptor depletion is mediated by one or more antibodies directed against ACh receptors or other NMJ postsynaptic membrane constituents, resulting in ...Ocular Motor System; Myasthenia GravisNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
111 Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Treatment-Response in Early-and Late-Onset Ocular Myasthenia GravisOcular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG) is an autoimmune disease which causes ptosis, diplopia, or both. It can be categorized as early or late-onset, with differing presenting characteristics and prognosis based on previous studies. Currently, there is limited information compared characteristic and outcome...Myasthenia; Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease (eg.

114 Mycophenolate Mofetil as First-Line Therapy for Ocular Myasthenia GravisOcular myasthenia gravis (OMG) may produce debilitating diplopia or ptosis leading to significant visual disability. Symptomatic treatment with pyridostigmine is frequently ineffective and immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids can have serious side-effects.Myasthenia; MycophenolateNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
115 Safety of Prednisone for Ocular Myasthenia GravisTreatment with chronic corticosteroids has been associated with frequent significant adverse effects. We hypothesized that the major side effect profile of a long-term, low-dose prednisone regimen for OMG was low.ocular myasthenia gravis; prednisone; clinical trials; safetyNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu

121 The Effects of Edrophonium on Eyelid SaccadesThe first diagnostic use of an anticholinesterase in myasthenia gravis included observations on its effect on ptosis. Subsequently, the response of myasthenic eye movements to edrophonium has been extensively studied with quantitative techniques. However, the effect of this drug on lid dynamics has ...Edrophonium; Eyelid Saccades; Myasthenia Gravis; PtosisNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
122 Peripheral Inflammatory Processes Affecting Ocular Motor FunctionMyasthenia gravis is a disorder of neuromuscular transmission. Normally, acetylcholine is packaged into vesicles which are then released into the cleft at the neuromuscular junction. Receptors bind the acetylcholine to initiate depolarization of the muscle membrane.Ocular Myasthenia Gravis; Thyroid Ophthalmology; Miller-Fisher Syndrome; Neuromuscular Transmission DiseaseNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
123 Chest CT Thymoma (Guest Lecture)The patient is a 46 year old woman who presented in July 1977 with horizontal double vision lasting two weeks.

124 Quantification of Saccadic Fatigability for a Diagnosis of Myasthenia GravisSymptoms of myasthenia gravis (MG) are characterized by fatigable and fluctuating weakness with repeated use of muscle. The diagnosis of MG was combined with clinical symptoms and ancillary tests. However, each study has reported different sensitivity and specificity of the test, so there are variou...Myasthenia; Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease (eg.

125 Differences and Similarities Between Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Ocular Myasthenia Gravis, Optic Neuritis, and Horner's In Children Vs. AdultsPediatric neuro-ophthalmology is more than just neuroophthalmology of little people. Compared with neuro-ophthalmology in adults, in the pediatric subspecialty the diseases are different, with greater emphases on congenital malformations and genetic disorders and less on vascular problems.Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Pseudotumor Cerebri); Pediatric Optic Neuritis; Ocular Myasthenia Gravis; Horner's SyndromeNeuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu
