Juvenile myasthenia gravis: recommendations for diagnostic approaches and treatment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In Rett syndrome the autonomic nervous system is abnormal at various levels, from the central to the peripheral nervous system. A role for serotoninergic dysfunction has been suggested. OBJECTIVES:The aim of our study was to evaluate the relation between cardiac dysautonomia (expressed by means of heart rat...
