Rapid N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) Kit as a Differentiating Tool for Acute Dyspnea in a Resource-Limited Setting.

Introduction Dyspnea is among the most prevalent symptoms experienced by patients presenting as an emergency. The underlying etiology is often a cardiovascular or pulmonary condition, of which heart failure is recognized as a major contributor. The differentials are primarily established based on the patient's clinical presentation and physical examinations but are not conclusive.

When Breathing Becomes a Challenge: A Case of Congenital Myasthenia Gravis in an Indian Neonate With a DOK-7 Gene Mutation.

A rare neuromuscular condition known as congenital myasthenia gravis (CMG) affects some people from birth or very soon after. It results in fatigue and muscle weakness because of genetic abnormalities that interfere with the neuromuscular junction's ability to function, where the nerves and muscles connect. Even among those who have the same genetic mutation, the severity of CMG symptoms might differ considerably.
