Heidenhain Variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Brazil: A Case Report [PDF]
Geriatrics, Gerontology and AgingCreutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare spongiform encephalopathy characterized by a rapid neurodegenerative progress, caused by a misfolded variant of the cellular prion protein (PrP) known as PrPSc.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

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 ...

Femtogram Electrochemical Sensing of Prion Proteins Using Quantum Dots
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013 The prion protein (PrP) is involved in neurodegeneration via its conversion from the normal cellular form, PrPC, to the infectious form, PrPSc, which is the causative agent of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) including Creutzfeldt ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Preservatives limit microbial development, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation, resulting in better food quality and extended shelf life. Classified as natural, synthetic, or biological, each preservative has distinctive attributes and modes of action. Growing preference for natural preservatives aligns with clean label trends.
