Video Summary:
Myasthenia gravis is a disease due to antibodies against nicotinic type of acetylcholine receptors found at the neuromuscular junction. They impair neuromuscular transmission resulting in muscle weakness. Treatment options are anticholinesterases which increase acetylcholine concentration at synaptic cleft. Plasmapheresis to remove antibodies from blood. Immunosuppression decreases production of antibodies. And thymectomy which removes the source of antigen.
