In November 2002, an international group of neurologists interested in the field of paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) established the PNS Euronetwork supported by a grant from the European Union. The aim is to assist neurologists in the diagnosis and classification of Paraneoplastic symptoms by providing rigorous diagnostic criteria for the different conditions, to interchange information among the different centres, and to facilitate the pooling of patients for clinical trials.   This site contains a section on LEMS under paraneoplastic syndromes of the neuromuscular junction and muscle

How-much-will-a-pack-of-joints-cost-the-future-of-mass-market-marijuana?

How-much-will-a-pack-of-joints-cost-the-future-of-mass-market-marijuana? Marijuana is for sale in Colorado and Washington, so it's seemingly only a matter of time before packs of joints are available as well — but how much will a pack run you? After doing some extensive research,  Fast Company 's   Thor Benson came up with around $50. He reached that number by comparing the estimated cost of marijuana production (about $2 to $3 per gram) with common industry margins (rumored to be between 40 percent and 50 percent) and factoring in the economies of scale wielded by large companies like Marlboro. At the very most, an average pack of joints might run you about $120 — the amount Denver-based store Medicine Man asks for a 20-pack of pre-rolled, one-gram joints. Benson even sought input from Jeff Caldwell, a representative from Marlboro's parent company, but Caldwell wouldn't speculate on the potential costs of joint packs. Caldwell said that his company had "no plans t...

Question: What is the difference between Myasthenia Gravis and Lambert-Eaton syndrome? How do doctors differentiate between the two in diagnosis? Is the treatment similar? Answer: Myasthenia gravis causes muscle weakness that patients usually appreciate becoming significantly worse with activity. Double vision, swallowing and speaking abnormalities, and difficulty walking and using the arms are common symptoms. Lambert-Eaton may produce similar symptoms, but double vision is less common. Muscle aches are more common and patients often have dry mouth. Patients may also have impotence, constipation, impaired sweating, and blurred vision. Myasthenia gravis is caused by antibodies against acetylcholine receptor and compromise the muscle side of the nerve-muscle communication point. Lambert-Eaton syndrome appears to be caused most often by antibodies to calcium channels of the nerve. Lambert-Eaton is often triggered by the development of a lung cancer. An EMG test can differentiate ...
