Abstract
The DSS (known as Kurtzke or Bronx scale in multiple sclerosis practice) was myasthenia gravis [in humans]. This system renders the quantitative evaluation of the different parameters possible. There are 10 grades of gravity (from 1-10) and 6 functional systems (ocular, facial, bulbar, skeletal, respiratory and other functions).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
