DOI: 10.1111/ene.15506
Abstract: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder caused by specific, most commonly acetylcholine receptor (AChR), antibodies, expressed at the neuromuscular junction. The thymus is affected in most patients with AChR+ MG; approximately 70% of patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jocs.14346
Abstract: Any type of radical thymectomy, open or thoracoscopic, always results in a skeletonized left innominate vein (LIV), which is highly expected to form adhesions to the posterior surface of the sternum. Therefore, in case of… read more here.
