Endogenous Viral Etiology of Prion Diseases [PDF]

, 2009
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a group of incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, “mad cow” disease in cattle, and scrapie in sheep. This paper

Complicated symptomatology and diagnosis of Creuzfeld-Jakob disease on a basis of clinical case

Quality in Sport
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare condition. In this study we describe the diagnosis of the disease in a 73-year old female, presenting dementia. Diagnostic tests unveiled characteristic features of CJD. The diagnosis of CJD was confirmed. It is

A survey and a molecular dynamics study on the (central) hydrophobic region of prion proteins

, 2014
Prion diseases are invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. Unlike most other amyloid forming neurodegenerative diseases, these can be highly infectious. Prion diseases occur in a variety of species.

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2002
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is caused by the transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans. The clinical and investigative features of variant CJD are relatively distinct from sporadic CJD. The number of cases of vCJD are increasing with time in the UK, but the total future number of cases of vCJD is uncertain.

New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1998
New variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a novel human spongiform encephalopathy with a consistent clinico-pathological phenotype. Epidemiological evidence indicates that this disease is occurring almost exclusively in the UK, where there has been an epidemic of spongiform encephalopathy in the cattle population.

Does Improvement in Case Ascertainment Explain the Increase in Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Since 1970 in the United Kingdom? [PDF]

, 2017
The aim of this study was to quantify the improvements in case ascertainment which are considered to explain the rise in the incidence of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Determinants of diagnostic investigation sensitivities across the clinical spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

, 2017
To validate the provisional findings of a number of smaller studies and explore additional determinants of characteristic diagnostic investigation results across the entire clinical spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), an international ...
