Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. [PDF]
BMJ, 1978 Summary The laboratory transmission to animals of an apparently degenerative disease of the nervous system, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), is now well established. Important questions arising from this observation are the possibility of natural transmission or infectivity and the existence of other similarly transmissible diseases ...

Specific early electroencephalogram for the diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
PrionAn early diagnosis is required for intervention in prion disease cases. To elucidate the specificity of early electroencephalography discharges in cases of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, we analysed epileptiform discharges through ...
