Pneumonia impedes recovery from acute stroke and contributes to poor clinical outcomes. Two recent clinical trials demonstrate that antibiotics commonly used to treat stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) neither reduce the frequency of pneumonia nor improve outcome after stroke when administered in a preventive manner. These findings necessitate fundamental reassessment of our current concepts of SAP.

Do Stroke Care Processes Modify Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Stroke-Associated Pneumonia? A Registry Cohort Study in England and Wales

Marco Antonio Lobo Chaves, Matthew Gittins, Benjamin Bray, Andy Vail, Craig J. Smith

Summary: This study investigated the impact of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) on clinical outcomes, and found that SAP remained associated with worse outcomes even after adjusting for acute stroke care processes and their timing.

Role of autoantibody levels as biomarkers in the management of patients with myasthenia gravis: A systematic review and expert appraisal

Summary: This study examined the relationship between autoantibody levels and disease activity in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). The results indicated a potential positive correlation, which could have clinical implications in guiding treatment decisions. However, due to limited and variable evidence, routine clinical use of autoantibody level testing is not currently recommended.

Clinical characteristics, treatments, outcome, and prognostic factors of severe autoimmune encephalitis in the intensive care unit: Standard treatment and the value of additional plasma cell-depleting escalation therapies for treatment-refractory patients

Lisa Schwarz, Nilufar Akbari, Harald Pruss, Andreas Meisel, Franziska Scheibe

Summary: This retrospective single-center study investigated the clinical characteristics, treatments, prognostic factors, and neurological outcome of patients with severe autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The findings suggest that treatment-refractory AE patients with neuronal surface antibodies (nsAb) can achieve similarly good outcomes after plasma cell-depleting escalation therapy as patients already responding to standard first- and/or second-line therapies.

Risk and course of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed patients with myasthenia gravis

Urban, Karl Christian Knop, Berthold Schalke, De-Hyung Lee, Petra Kalischewski, Heinz Wiendl, Andreas Meisel

Summary: Current immunosuppressive therapy (IST) increases the severity of COVID-19 in patients with myasthenia gravis, but it does not increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, effective strategies should be implemented to prevent COVID-19 in this high-risk group.

Autoantibody detection by a live cell-based assay in conventionally antibody-tested triple seronegative Myasthenia gravis

Summary: Autoantibody testing is essential for autoimmune myasthenia gravis diagnosis, but about 15% of patients still show negative results (seronegative MG). This study examined the prevalence of clustered AChR, MuSK, and LRP4 autoantibodies in a large German cohort of seronegative MG patients using a live cell-based assay. Out of 67 SNMG patients, 4.5% had clustered AChR autoantibodies, with two patients showing binding to both adult and fetal AChR. None of the patients tested positive for MuSK or LRP4 autoantibodies. Clinical characteristics were similar between patients with and without clustered AChR autoantibodies. Comparisons with a national MG registry showed broad similarities among seronegative MG patients in both cohorts.

Patient-reported burden of myasthenia gravis: baseline results of the international prospective, observational, longitudinal real-world digital study MyRealWorld-MG

Summary: This study aims to explore the impact of myasthenia gravis (MG) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from the perspective of patients. The results showed that MG significantly affects patients' daily activities, anxiety and depression, fatigue, breathing, and vision. The impact of the disease becomes more severe with increasing disease severity.

Serum neurofilament light chain in myasthenia gravis subgroups: An exploratory cohort and case-Control study

Frauke Stascheit, Annette Aigner, Philipp Mergenthaler, Benjamin Hotter, Sarah Hoffmann, Sophie Lehnerer, Christian Meisel, Andreas Meisel

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between Nfl and neuromuscular destruction and disease severity in MG patients. Serum samples from MG patients and controls were analyzed and compared. The results showed that sNfl levels were higher in MG patients compared to controls, but were not consistently associated with disease severity. Thus, sNfl is not a suitable biomarker for monitoring individual disease progression in MG patients.

Complement activation profiles in anti-acetylcholine receptor positive myasthenia gravis

Frauke Stascheit, Omar Chuquisana, Christian W. Keller, Philip Alexander Ambrose, Sarah Hoffmann, Catharina C. Gross, Sophie Lehnerer, Heinz Wiendl, Nick Willcox, Andreas Meisel, Jan D. Luenemann

Summary: In patients with AChR-Ab(+) MG, there is significantly increased activation of the complement system, which remains present even under standard immunosuppressive therapies but is not evident in patients with MuSK-Abs or seronegative MG. Further exploration of complement inhibition proximal to C5 cleavage is suggested for potential therapeutic benefits in AChR-Ab(+) MG.

Does stroke-associated pneumonia play an important role on risk of in-hospital mortality associated with severe stroke? A four-way decomposition analysis of a national cohort of stroke patients

Matthew Gittins, Marco Antonio Lobo Chaves, Andy Vail, Craig J. Smith

Summary: This study examines the association between severe stroke, stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), and in-hospital mortality. The results suggest that SAP is associated with a higher mortality rate in severe stroke patients. Prioritizing SAP prevention may significantly improve in-hospital survival in severe stroke patients, with a potential reduction in mortality of up to 43%.

Summary: This study analyzed the interim results of an ongoing open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term treatment effects of ravulizumab in patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis. The findings showed that ravulizumab demonstrated sustained efficacy and safety in improving the disease condition of patients.

Eculizumab treatment alters the proteometabolome beyond the inhibition of complement

Summary: Therapeutic strategies targeting complement have revolutionized the treatment of myasthenia gravis. A combined proteomics and metabolomics approach was used to study a cohort of MG patients treated with eculizumab or azathioprine, as well as treatment-naive patients. Eculizumab was found to modulate the serum proteometabolome, affecting pathways related to oxidative stress, MAP kinase signaling, and lipid metabolism, particularly arachidonic acid signaling.
