Myasthenia gravis is a chronic, neuroimmunological disorder attributed to autoantibodies affecting post-synaptic neuromuscular junctions in the skeletal muscle (Menon and Bril2022). In most cases of myasthenia gravis, IgG antibodies block the binding of acetylcholine to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ...
The risk of fatality from benzodiazepine overdose alone via respiratory or nervous system depression is seemingly non-existent [69]. In rare instances of mono-drug overdose, benzodiazepines may produce an idiosyncratic, potentially fatal atrioventricular heart block [70]. More importantly, involvement of...
