A patient with myasthenia gravis (MG) quickly deteriorated after he woke up from an endovascular procedure.

The findings suggest recombinant ADAMTS-13 may be a useful adjunct therapy to plasma exchange among patients who have thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP).

The study was designed and conducted by undergraduate researchers.

The patient’s thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)–like symptoms were caused by deficiencies of vitamins B1 and B12.

The patient sought care for a mass in her right buttock, but had no tonsillar symptoms.

The impaired reactivity may play a role in organ injury, the authors suggested, among patients who have immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP).

The new research could help identify ways to preserve neuromuscular junctions.

Patients with myelofibrosis (MF) with single-hit mutations had similar outcomes to patients with wild-type TP53.

Judicious use of caplacizumab (Cablivi) can reduce the risk of severe bleeding and help manage costs associated with the therapy in patients living with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).

Female patients were most likely to experience onset of triple-negative myasthenia gravis (MG) between ages 0 to 9 years.

The tool can help clinicians stratify patients into high-risk and low-risk categories.

New data underscore the long-term implications of immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) and atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS), both rare diseases.
