Two patients who underwent plamsapheresis for severe myasthenia gravis showed marked exacerbation of myasthenic weakness at the end of exchange sessions, in which citrate was used for anticoagulation. In one pa- tient, improvement occurred after the administration of calcium but not after edrophoniu

The effect of local cooling was studied in 28 patients with myastenia gravis. We stimulated the ulnar nerve with single stimuli and trains at 3/s for 2s and at 50/s for 1.5 s. The compound muscle action potential (MAP), the muscle twitch and the isometric tetanic force of the adductor pollicis were
A test for diminished neuromuscular function in animals with experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis is described. Within minutes following an injection of gallamine triethiodide, mice exhibit a dramatic yet transient response which is dose-dependent. Mice previously inoculated with acetylcholine
## Abstract A mouse model of MG, termed experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), can be obtained after immunization with __Torpedo__ acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Although many studies have detailed the consequence of AChR antibodies binding at the neuromuscular junction and the difficult
