MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This pocketbook provides an overview of myasthenia gravis, including clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options, including recent drug developments and surgical procedures.


Myasthenia gravis is a long-term neuromuscular disease that leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, which can cause a person to have poor control over their voluntary facial expressions, swallowing, and speech. Myasthenia gravis has a prevalence of 50 to 125 cases per million population, or approximately 25,000 affected persons in the United States alone. Although there is no cure for myasthenia gravis, treatments are available to help control the symptoms and improve muscle weakness.


Feature:

An evidence-based handbook providing clinicians with an overview of best-practice diagnostic and treatment options for myasthenia gravis

An ideal educational resource for physicians of all levels, from medical trainees to specialist neurologists seeking a summary of recent advances in the field

Written by leading neuromuscular expert, Professor Janice Massey of Duke University, a center of excellence for neurology research and patient care
