Developing neuropalliative care for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease [PDF]

Prion, 2022
We aimed to identify targets for neuropalliative care interventions in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease by examining characteristics of patients and sources of distress and support among former caregivers.

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

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 ...

Mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency correlates with the severity of neuropathology in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative diseases but remains largely unexplored in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Here, we characterize the mitochondrial respiratory chain at the individual neuron level in the MM1 and VV2 ...

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).

Understanding the Phenotypic Heterogeneity Within the Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease MV1 Subtype. [PDF]

Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol
We present the clinical, pathological and prion biophysical features of three atypical cases of the MV1 subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD). We propose that these heterozygous cases exist on a spectrum ranging from MM1‐like to VV1‐like phenotypes and recommend that subtyping be performed at pH 6.9 to avoid missing atypical or mixed ...

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype. [PDF]

Ann Neurol
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease

Acta Medica Bulgarica
Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease is a rare and fatal human prion disease characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia, myoclonus, cerebellar, pyramidal, extrapyramidal, visual, and psychiatric symptoms. These findings are all non-specific and making

A blood miRNA signature associates with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease diagnosis

Nature Communications, 2020
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly progressive dementia. No clinical blood tests are available for diagnosis. The authors identified three miRNAs in whole-blood that are downregulated in sCJD patients, and discriminate sCJD from ...

Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in Palestine with early ataxia and dysarthria: a case report [PDF]

BMC Neurology
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by misfolded prion proteins. It progresses inexorably to death once clinical symptoms emerge.
