The effective dose of SCIg in MG and whether measured immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels correlated with measures of disease burden were not reported. Objectives To understand the relationship between SCIg dosing and serum IgG levels on measures of disease burden quantitative MG (QMG), MG activities of daily living (MG-ADL), MG composite (MGC), and manual muscle testing (MMT) scores. Methods We performed post-hoc analyses of variance to assess change in oculobulbar and generalized sub-scores. We assessed the improvement in QMG, MG-ADL, MGC, or MMT over intervals from baseline to week 2, weeks 2-4, and week 4 to end of study. Improvement was either greater than (coded 1) or was equal to or less than (coded 0) the previous 2 weeks. Binaries were assessed in binary logistic regression as a function of SCIg dose over the two-week interval as the independenead. The change in clinical scores was not significantly associated with IgG levels suggesting a complex relationship. SCIg may be effective for both ocular and generalized presentations of MG.Objectives This study compared neurofilament light chain (NFL) levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) with levels in patients with other neurological diseases and healthy controls and assessed correlations between NFL levels and clinical indicators of sALS. Methods We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to determine the NFL levels in the CSF of 45 patients with sALS, 21 patients with other central nervous system diseases (OCNSDs), 18 with immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy (IMPN), 14 with non-immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy (NIMPN), and 19 healthy controls (HCs). Results The median NFL levels in the CSF of the sALS, OCNSD, IMPN, NIMPN,
