In a retrospective study, researchers investigated the autoantibody profile and clinical characteristics of patients with refractory myasthenia gravis, compared to patients nonrefractory status, based on predefined criteria.

Researchers sought to assess any recent changes in racial inequities trends in stroke treatment and in-hospital mortality, and whether racial inequities differed among patients living in rural areas.

Investigators evaluated the relationship between heart failure, depressive symptoms, income, and race.

A study was done to assess the safety of mechanical thrombectomy when performed in a stroke center by interventional cardiologists.

Researchers sought to explore the genetic landscape of cerebral palsy using whole exome sequencing in a cohort of patients with cerebral palsy.

Researchers sought to assess the outcomes of invasive ventilation, mortality, and hospital length of stay among patients presenting with myasthenia gravis and COVID-19.

In a cross-sectional cohort study, researchers assessed the validity of actigraphy as a sleep assessment tool in children with cerebral palsy and observed their sleep patterns.

Researchers sought to test whether memantine, a drug approved for Alzheimer disease, would improve episodic memory in adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome.

With medical and recreational use cannabis becoming more readily available throughout the United States, mental health clinicians need to know the evidence that’s been discovered in order to counsel patients. Researchers in this review examined evidence from controlled trials in order to outline the therapeutic use of cannabinoids for various medical conditions and any possible side effects.

With patients with schizophrenia exhibiting abnormalities in the key antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD), although findings have been inconsistent, there haven’t been many studies which investigated SOD in late-life schizophrenia (LLS). Researchers investigated changes in SOD activity and what relationship there was between SOD activity and psychotic symptoms, as well as cognitive deficits in LLS.

Investigators studied the effect of shared decision-making on adherence to anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation.

With transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in China subject to minority stress and, as a result a higher risk of adverse mental health issues, researchers aimed to review the findings of the research on transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in that country. By doing so researchers hope to give an outlook to further research that can guide clinical practice and policy.

In a retrospective study, researchers analyzed the potential association between anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody serum levels and the clinical improvement of myasthenia gravis.
