It most commonly affects young women, though there is also a congenital form that appears in children. The condition is caused by antibodies that block the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles.\n\nSymptoms vary widely\u2014from drooping eyelids and double vision (ocular form), to limb weakness and difficulty speaking or swallowing (generalized form), to transient weakness in newborns of affected mothers (neonatal form). Symptoms are usually mildest in the morning and worsen as the day progresses.\n\nDiagnosis is based on clinical evaluation (such as the upward gaze test), laboratory tests (antibody detection), imaging (CT\/MRI), and response to medications that temporarily relieve symptoms. Treatment includes symptomatic therapy (pyridostigmine), immunosuppressants (corticosteroids, azathioprine), thymectomy, and in severe cases, plasmapheresis or immunoglobulin therapy.\nWith appropriate treatment, most patients are able to lead full and high-quality lives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5233\" style=\"width:232px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija-660x660.jpg 660w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/miastenija.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>June \u2013 Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Awareness Month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a rare disorder that affects the body\u2019s connective tissue. It is caused by a genetic mutation (a change in the genes). There are five known types of LDS. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning there is a 50% chance of passing it on to a child.\nThere are four main features that may indicate a diagnosis of LDS:\nAneurysms \u2013 dilations of arteries, most commonly at the aortic root (the beginning of the main artery that exits the heart);\nTortuous arteries \u2013 twisting and winding of arteries, especially in the neck region;\nHypertelorism \u2013 an increased distance between the eyes;\nBifid uvula or cleft palate \u2013 a split or notch in the small tissue at the back of the throat.\nIt is important to note that the signs and symptoms of the disease can vary greatly from person to person. Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a lifelong condition that requires continuous medical monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loeys-Dietz.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5234\" style=\"width:448px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loeys-Dietz.png 626w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loeys-Dietz-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Loeys-Dietz-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>June 9 \u2013 International Batten Disease Awareness Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Batten disease, also known as juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), is a rare, inherited, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that typically begins in childhood. It occurs when a child inherits a mutated gene from both parents. Batten disease belongs to the group of lysosomal storage disorders and primarily affects neurons, leading to epilepsy, vision loss, behavioral issues, dementia, and loss of mobility.\nThe first symptoms usually appear between the ages of five and eight, and life expectancy is typically around the age of twenty. There are also infantile and adult-onset forms of the disease.\nThere is currently no cure, and treatment is symptomatic, aiming to manage and alleviate the progression of symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/batten.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5236\" style=\"width:334px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/batten.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/batten-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/batten-14x12.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>June 21 \u2013 Global Motor Neurone Disease Awareness Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motor neurone disease (MND) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders that cause the progressive loss of motor neurons\u2014nerve cells responsible for movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing. As these neurons die, muscles weaken and waste away, since they no longer receive signals from the brain and spinal cord.\nMND can affect anyone at any age and is not always hereditary. The most well-known form is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Early symptoms often include muscle weakness in the arms and legs, as well as difficulty speaking and swallowing.\nDiagnosis is made by a neurologist, often with the help of specialized tests such as electromyography (EMG). There is currently no cure, but medication is available that can slow disease progression.\nTreatment requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving doctors, therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and other specialists. Early diagnosis and expert support can significantly improve quality of life for those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/motor-neuron.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5237\" style=\"width:386px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/motor-neuron.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rijetke-bolesti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/motor-neuron-18x10.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Association of Persons with ALS and Other Rare Diseases \u201cNeuron\u201d aims to provide support to individuals affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other rare neurological diseases, as well as their families.

Diagnosis is made clinically and through genetic testing.\nAs Dravet syndrome is a spectrum disorder, the disease course varies from child to child, and there is no standard treatment protocol.

Common signs include lighter skin and hair and possible skin issues. Milder forms of PKU carry lower risk, and some cases do not require a special diet.
