Summary Background The Thymectomy Trial in Non-Thymomatous Myasthenia Gravis Patients Receiving Prednisone (MGTX) showed that thymectomy combined with prednisone was superior to prednisone alone in improving clinical status as measured by the Quantit

Acute or chronic pain is a complex multidimensional neuronal response that draws attention to damaging or potentially damaging situations. A complex cascade of events takes place between the triggering occurrence of irritation and the final result of

The trigeminal nerve exits the brain in its anatomical course in the area of the pons and proceeds to the anterior edge of the petrous bone. There, the nerve forms the trigeminal ganglion – also known as the Gasserian ganglion – which, sheathed b

The MGTX trial is the first prospective, randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the impact of extended transsternal thymectomy on myasthenic symptoms, prednisone requirements, and quality of life in patients with nonthymomatous, anti-acetylc
