Paediatric myasthenia: A moving target.
A two-and-a-half-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with an upper respiratory tract infection and increasing breathing difficulties over the past 24 h. His health was normal until two months before presentation. Since then, his parents noticed progressive (although fluctuating) motor weakness, trouble chewing and swallowing as well as episodes of choking on his secretions. His s...
متن کاملJuvenile Myasthenia Gravis: A Paediatric Perspective
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies are directed against the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigability. Juvenile myasthenia gravis (JMG) is a rare condition of childhood and has many clinical features that are distinct from adult MG. Prepubertal children in particular have a higher prevalence of isolated oc...
متن کاملAnaesthetic Considerations in Paediatric Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia gravis is of particular interest to anaesthetists because of the muscle groups affected, the pharmacology of the neuromuscular junction, and interaction of both the disease and treatment with many anaesthetic drugs. Anaesthetists may encounter children with myasthenia either to facilitate treatment options or to institute mechanical ventilation in the face of a crisis. This paper rev...
متن کاملa novel navigation method for pursuing a moving target
the most current pursuit algorithms for moving targets which are presented so far in the literatureare pure pursuit and pure rendezvous navigations. recently, one of the present authors has introduced ageometric model for the pure pursuit navigation algorithm. here, in this paper, we study a new algorithm forthe pursuit navigation problem which is a combination of both of the above algorithms. ...
متن کاملGlioblastoma—a moving target
The slow development of effective treatment of glioblastoma is contrasted by the rapidly advancing research on the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease. Amplification and overexpression of receptor tyrosine kinases, particularly EGFR and PDGFRA, are complemented by mutations in the PI3K, RB1, and p53 signaling pathways. In addition to finding effective means to target these pathways, we ...
