Incidence and spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease variants with mixed phenotype and co-occurrence of PrPSc types: an updated classification [PDF]
Six subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with distinctive clinico-pathological features have been identified largely based on two types of the abnormal prion protein, PrPSc, and the methionine (M)/valine (V) polymorphic codon 129 of the prion ...

Validation of the 2017 International Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Network diagnostic criteria for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is the commonest human prion disease. sCJD is rapidly-progressive, universally fatal and transmissible.

Proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
So far, only the detection of 14-3-3 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been accepted as diagnostic criterion for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). However, this assay cannot be used for screening because of the high rate of false-positive results,

Follow-up investigations of tau protein and S-100B levels in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Background: S-100B and tau protein have a high differential diagnostic potential for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). So far there has been only limited information available about the dynamics of these parameters in the cerebrospinal ...

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Mimicking Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease [PDF]
The determination of the form of prion disease and early diagnosis are important for prognostic, public health, and epidemiologic reasons.To describe a patient with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) who had a clinical history and initial electroencephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging findings consistent with variant CJD (vCJD).Results of a

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and homocysteine levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid [PDF]
Background: There is evidence that homocysteine contributes to various neurodegenerative disorders. Objective: To assess the values of homocysteine in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Austria. [PDF]
Between 1969 and 30 September 1995, 79 Austrian patients had Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) diagnosed neuropathologically by necropsy or biopsy. The annual incidence has significantly increased in recent years (average 0.18 per million in 1969-85, and 0.67 per million in 1986-94; estimate for 1995: 1.5 per million).
