Ocular Myasthenia Gravis - How Effective Is Low Dose Prednisone Long Term? | Ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) therapy should address three issues - restoration of normal binocular vision. prevention of deterioration to generalize MG (GMG), and avoiding significant adverse effects of treatment. Prior studies suggest that moderate dose followed by low dose daily prednisone can a... | Myasthenia, Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease (eg.

Treatment Outcome in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis | Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG) is an autoimmune disease that affects the neuro-muscular junction resulting in ptosis and/or diplopia without general or bulbar symptoms. OMG patients can suffer from disabling ocular symptoms. The outcome of treatment with OMG is poorly understood. Our aim is to asse... | Myasthenia, Ocular Motility, Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease (eg.

The Effects of Edrophonium on Eyelid Saccades | The 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; Ptosis | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Peripheral Inflammatory Processes Affecting Ocular Motor Function | Myasthenia 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 Disease | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |
