Variability in procedure volume of physical medicine and rehabilitation residents graduating from 2014 to 2021.

Background: Adequate exposure to commonly performed procedures during physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) residency is an important issue.

Objective: To assess temporal trends and variabilities in reported procedural volumes, including the number of residents achieving procedure minimum requirements as established by the Accredited Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) PM&R Residency Review Committee.

Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of PM&R residents graduating from 2013-2014 to 2020-2021.

Myasthenia gravis presenting like guillain-barré syndrome.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by weakness in specific muscle groups, especially the ocular and bulbar muscles. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) presents with ascending paralysis and areflexia, often secondary to an infection. Several theories have been proposed regarding the etiology behind GBS, with many studies pointing to a possible autoimmune cause.

Myasthenia gravis: a review.

Acquired myasthenia gravis is a relatively uncommon disorder, with prevalence rates that have increased to about 20 per 100,000 in the US population. This autoimmune disease is characterized by muscle weakness that fluctuates, worsening with exertion, and improving with rest. In about two-thirds of the patients, the involvement of extrinsic ocular muscle presents as the initial symptom, usually progressing to involve other bulbar muscles and limb musculature, resulting in generalized myasthenia gravis.

Rare association of thymoma, myasthenia gravis and sarcoidosis : a case report.

Introduction: The association of thymoma with myasthenia gravis (MG) is well known. Thymoma with sarcoidosis however, is very rare. We presented an interesting case with coexisting thymoma, MG and sarcoidosis.
