Dental treatment and risk of variant CJD - a case control study [PDF]

, 2007
Objective: Knowledge of risk factors for variant CJD (vCJD) remains limited, but transmission of prion proteins via re-useable medical devices, including dental instruments, or enhanced susceptibility following trauma to the oral cavity is a concern ...

Transmission of CJD from nasal brushings but not spinal fluid or RT‐QuIC product

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Objective The detection of prion seeding activity in CSF and olfactory mucosal brushings using real‐time quaking‐induced conversion assays allows highly accurate clinical diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

The new variant of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease accounts for no relative increase of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease mortality rate in the United Kingdom; this fits ill with the new variant being the consequence of consumption of food infected with the agent of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

BMC Public Health, 2003
Background A new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was described in the United Kingdom. It is often claimed that it is caused by consumption of food infected with the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy.

Sleep-wake disturbances in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

, 2006
BACKGROUND: The prevalence and characteristics of sleep-wake disturbances in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) are poorly understood. METHODS: Seven consecutive patients with definite sCJD underwent a systematic assessment of sleep-wake ...

Prion disease diagnosis using subject-specific imaging biomarkers within a multi-kernel Gaussian process

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Prion diseases are a group of rare neurodegenerative conditions characterised by a high rate of progression and highly heterogeneous phenotypes. Whilst the most common form of prion disease occurs sporadically (sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, sCJD ...

A rapid dual staining procedure for the quantitative discrimination of prion amyloid from tissues reveals how interactions between amyloid and lipids in tissue homogenates may hinder the detection of prions

, 2009
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are fatal neurodegenerative diseases with no cure to this day, and are often associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain and other tissues in affected individuals. The emergence of new
