We're delighted to share the publication of our Cochrane Review: Rituximab for myasthenia gravis

This systematic review examined the RCT evidence for this B cell depleting therapy in myasthenia, and is now available via the Cochrane Library.

Hot off the press.

Deeply Humbled by the opportunity to collaborate with the top neurologists and neuroscientists in the UK.

@andrew_behan Sorry to hear that Andrew. The team at MREH are experts in managing OMG and I'm sure will provide great care. I would speak to them about when they will be following you up.

During 2024, myaware has provided over £250,000 in grant funding to researchers and specialist nurses. Can you donate £10 so we can continue to support projects like this during our Specialist Nurses' Appeal 2024? https://t.co/MvAu92cipP

Fantastic to present some of my immune profiling work from @NCAresearchNHS + @LydiaBeckerIII with @MadhviM at #NMSG2024 in New York. Thanks to research funders @myawareUK @NCareCharity @NMSG_news Great to have other @MCCN_UK colleagues here and as usual lots of great networking

Important work here from the team @MCCN_UK @salfordco_nhs. This study of more than 1,600 people with multiple sclerosis shows ethnicity & deprivation negatively impact access to disease-modifying therapy for relapsing-remitting #MS

Loved #ABN2024 in sunny (for a bit) Edinburgh. Great to present some data from my PhD with @MadhviM @LydiaBeckerIII + @MCCN_UK

So many fascinating talks at #neuroimmune24 symposium, thanks to @BSI_neuroimmune team! Delighted to be awarded best flash talk

Azathioprine is still an important medication in the management of MG. Liver function test rises are often transient and self limiting but we highlight how azathioprine metabolite testing can be used to help adjust the dose.

**New Publication** looking at side effects of immunosuppression for #MyastheniaGravis in the UK. Thanks to everyone involved + @myaware @NCareCharity

[Katy Dodd @KatyCDodd]

We found that azathioprine is more likely to be discontinued than mycophenolate or methotexate due to side effects (mainly liver dysfunction).

@HeidiRFuller @KeeleUniversity Fantastic news, congratulations!!
