Article Synopsis
- Decreased cough strength in myasthenia gravis (MG) increases the risk of aspiration and crisis, prompting this study on cough peak flow (CPF) measurements in MG patients.
- The study included 26 MG patients who independently measured their CPF, and the results were compared with pulmonary function tests and MG assessments before and after treatment.
- The findings revealed a high reliability for CPF measurements, with a cut-off value of 205 L/min for aspiration risk, showing good sensitivity and specificity as a useful biomarker for assessing MG symptoms.

Phosphotriesterases catalyze the first step of organophosphorus triester degradation. The bacterial phosphotriesterases purified and characterized to date hydrolyze mainly aryl dialkyl phosphates, such as parathion, paraoxon, and chlorpyrifos. In this study, we purified and cloned two novel phosphotriesterases from Sphingomonas sp.
