Disease/Condition Glossary
Myasthenia gravis: It is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease which causes skeletal muscle weakness. The immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissue leading to damage of the neuromuscular membrane. This reduces the effect of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which is crucial for the communication between nerve cells and muscles. Myasthenia gravis occurs when the communication between nerve cells and muscles becomes impaired. This prevents crucial muscle contractions, thereby leads to muscle weakness. The most affected muscles are those of face and eyes. Symptoms of myasthenia gravis include double vision, drooping eyelids, difficulty chewing or swallowing, weakness, problems with lifting the objects, trouble talking and walking.
Paralytic ileus: It is a condition in which there is obstruction of the intestine due to paralysis of intestinal muscles. This prevents the passage of food and leads to their accumulation in the intestine. Paralytic ileus occurs due to malfunctioning of nerves and muscles in the intestine, thereby impairs the digestive movement.
