PASS offers a meaningful complement to clinical scores and may soon become a key addition in MG trials and practice. Grateful to have co-led this important work. Kudos to the team!.
Check out our new paper on the Patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) question in AChR MG! 🧠. A step forward in aligning clinical metrics with patient perception. Thanks to all co-authors for the wonderful teamwork @damato_v @neuro_bo @silvia_falso .

This is an important work for the improvement of the serological diagnosis of MG. Congratulations @pietrozara @EliaSechi and thanks for involving me!.
Thrilled to share our recent study, which highlights the risk of false AChR-IgG positivity by RIPA in clinical practice 🎯. @PaolaChessa4.@EliaSechi @damato_v 👏🏻.

Happy to have led this work along with amazing researchers in the effort of improving the management of MuSK-MG. More work is needed to find prognostic markers of disease while better understanding the immunobiology of this disease. @UNI_FIRENZE @AOUCareggi @Unicatt @NDCNOxford.

Interesting report on RIA vs F-CBA results in only 6 cases, with no controls tested. This underline the need for adeguate comparative studies of MG assays, including live CBA. We are working on that! @adrianbudhram1 @SpagniGregorio.
Can testing AChR-Ab by RIA result in false positives? 🧪 Our latest study explores whether CBA might offer a more reliable alternative. 📊 Check out the full findings in EJON:
