usage, trouble pronouncing words, and visual problems. Treatment options are medications or in extreme cases surgery. The doctor may prescribe pyridostigmine also known as Mestinon, that increases the amount of acetylcholine to stimulate the receptors. In reference to the article pertaining to this awful disease is that there is no cure but with research and studies they are able to manage the patient with further observation. Clinical examination always the doctor to evaluate the severity of the disease under the MGFA clinical classification. Conducting a muscle strength test gives the doctors and researcher the chance to analyze muscle force of each patient and ranking the severity. There are two test conducted to exam the muscle force of the patient. The first test conducted is the manual muscle test and this evaluates the eight muscle groups. The other test is the “dynamometry. The Isometric Muscle Strength of the same eight muscle groups was measured using a CITEC hand-held dynamometer type CT3002” which is used to measure the muscle force of the neuromuscular diseases.I believe that this article main focus was to observe and study ways to quantify the potential presence of muscle weakness among patients with myasthenia gravis. The treatment intensity and disease duration on muscle strength and disease progression was also assessed. In my opinion, I believe this article was able to analyze and come to a strong conclusion about treatment options for patients suffering from this awful muscular disease. Without the help or research given patients with this disease would lose all muscle mass slowly over time resulting in death from not being able to eat or drink and severe respiratory weakness.This article supports their research with data and the charts allow you to see the statistics given from the eight patients being observed.
