Specific early electroencephalogram for the diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Prion
An 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 ...

Human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in eleven countries: diagnostic pattern across time, 1993–2002

BMC Public Health, 2006
Background The objective of this study was to describe the diagnostic panorama of human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies across 11 countries. Methods From data collected for surveillance purposes, we describe annual proportions of deaths due to ...

The human spongiform encephalopathies [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2018
The human spongiform encephalopathies are a group of heterogenous, usually fatal diseases, characterized by a unique pathogenetic mechanism and distinct clinical presentation. They are classified into sporadic, familial and acquired forms.

Stage‐Dependent β‐Synuclein Links MRI and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Synaptic degeneration drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but synaptic biomarkers are scarce. Brain‐enriched β‐synuclein emerged as a synaptic damage marker. We investigated its diagnostic, prognostic, and structural correlates across the AD continuum.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

Applicability of long-term electroencephalography in pre-mortem diagnosis of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2017
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease accounts for more than 90% of all sporadic prion disease cases. The molecular MM2 genotype has been divided into cortical and thalamic subtypes based on structures involved and is characterized clinically by progressive dementia

Protein thermal stability in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory: Exploring protein thermal stability with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 209-217, March/April 2025.
Abstract We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes.

High diagnostic performance of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid beta‐synuclein for sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Beta‐synuclein is a promising cerebrospinal fluid and blood biomarker of synaptic damage. Here we analysed its accuracy in the discrimination between sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (n = 150) and non‐prion rapidly progressive dementias (n = 106).

New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) versus refractory status epilepticus not meeting NORSE criteria: A comparative clinical and electroencephalography‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare, severe presentation of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), with approximately half of cases cryptogenic NORSE (c‐NORSE). We compared electroencephalographic (EEG) findings alongside clinical features between NORSE and RSE not meeting NORSE criteria to better understand ...
