Dr Lazar Remen (1907-74): a forgotten pioneer in the treatment of myasthenia gravis

Avi Ohry. J Med Biogr. 2009 May.

Abstract

Dr Lazar Remen (1907-74) was the first, in 1932, to describe the beneficial effect of prostigmine on a myasthenia gravis patient. His observation actually preceeded by two years Mary Broadfoot Walker's (1888-1974) paper, which is considered to be the landmark article on this association.
