Pregnancy in Seronegative Myasthenia Gravis: A Single-Center Case Series.

Introduction: The course of double-seronegative myasthenia gravis (DSNMG) during and after pregnancy has not been well described.

Objective: To assess the course of DSNMG during pregnancy and within 6 months postpartum.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of women with DSNMG seen in the Duke Myasthenia gravis (MG) Clinic after 2003.

Pregnancy in MuSK-positive myasthenia gravis: A single-center case series.

Introduction/aims: Myasthenia gravis (MG) with muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibodies (MMG) is predominantly seen in women of childbearing age. Our objective in this study was to describe the course of MMG during pregnancy and within 6 months postpartum, and to document any effect on fetal health.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of medical records of patients with MMG seen in the Duke Myasthenia Gravis Clinic from 2003 to 2022.

Initial antihypertensive agent effects on acute blood pressure after intracerebral haemorrhage.

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) lowering in patients after acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) without guidance on initial choice of antihypertensive class. This study sought to determine if initial antihypertensive class differentially effects acute BP lowering in a large multiethnic ICH cohort.

Methods: Subjects enrolled in the Ethnic/Racial Variations in ICH study between August 2010 and August 2017 with elevated admission BP and who received labetalol, nicardipine or hydralazine monotherapy as initial antihypertensive were analysed.

Delayed occurrence of an accelerated idioventricular rhythm with alternating bundle branch block after myocardial infarction as predictor of sudden cardiac arrest: a case report.

Background: Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is known as reperfusion arrhythmia in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In healthy individuals, it is usually considered to be benign. Alternating bundle branch block (ABBB) often progresses to complete atrioventricular block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation.

Anti-Neurofascin-Associated Nephrotic-Range Proteinuria in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.

There are few case reports of concomitant chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. A rare autoantibody to a neuronal and podocyte structural component, neurofascin, may be contributory. A Black man in his 40s presented with worsening polyneuropathy requiring mechanical ventilation and initially acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy was diagnosed.
