The International Myasthenia Gravis/COVID-19 Working Group has published a short guidance statement on the management of MG and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome during this novel pandemic.
OnabotulinumtoxinA Approved for Pediatric Lower Limb Spasticity
The FDA has approved Botox for the treatment of lower limb spasticity in pediatric patients 2 to 17 years of age, excluding spasticity caused by cerebral palsy. The treatment was already approved for pediatric upper limb spasticity earlier this year.
MAPT H1 Haplotype Implicated in ALS Risk, With Genetic Overlap Between ALS and FTD
Investigators sought to identify genetic factors that may contribute to the risk for neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.
