Myasthenia Gravis: Disease, Diagnosis and Management is a comprehensive resource that explores recent advancements in diagnosing and treating Myasthenia Gravis, a rare autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular junction. With contributions from global experts, this book addresses the increasing prevalence of Myasthenia Gravis, reflecting the latest in diagnostic techniques and novel therapies such as complement inhibitors and FcRn antagonists. It aims to support healthcare professionals in delivering optimal care through evidence-based insights and patient-centered approaches. The book is divided into several chapters, beginning with an overview of the pathogenesis and immunoregulatory defects in Myasthenia Gravis. Subsequent chapters cover diagnostic methods, non-immunosuppressive treatments, and biological therapies targeting the immune system. Key topics include the role of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PLEX) in severe exacerbations, thymectomy, molecular mechanisms, and the potential of hematopoietic stem cell transplants. The book also delves into precision medicine, AI applications, clinical trial considerations, and novel therapeutics like anti-FcRn antibodies. Management strategies for ocular Myasthenia Gravis, and a holistic view of living with the disease are also discussed.
