In this article we will highlight on one of these hypothesis that was for a long time not credible and almost not palatable to many. The protein only hypothesis or prions hypothesis is a novel discovery that earned the scientist Stanley Ben Prusiner the Nobel prize for medicine in 1997. Prion diseases are a group of diseases that share common clinical and neuropathological characteristics. They are also called spongiform encephalopathies because of the post mortem appearance of the brain with large vacuoles in the cortex and cerebellum a change that is caused by prion protein. Worth noting that 2 nobel prizes were given for research related to this scientific field.

Feedback Introduction: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare 1-in-a-million disease that occurs spontaneously, with 10-15% inheritance, and unrelated to animal diseases. It usually leads to dementia. CJD is a rare brain disease in humans caused by abnormal brain proteins ( prions ). It is similar to the various transmissible spongiform encephalopathies that afflict animals including " mad cow disease ". Unfortunately, prognosis for CJD is poor as there are no effective treatments against prions. CJD is not usually contagious, except rarely by direct exposure to the brain (such as brain surgery).

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, invariably fatal brain disorder. It affects about one person in every one million people per year worldwide; in the United States there are about 200 cases per year. CJD usually appears in later life and runs a rapid course. Typically, onset of symptoms occurs about age 60, and about 90 percent of patients die within 1 year. In the early stages of disease, patients may have failing memory, behavioral changes, lack of coordination and visual disturbances. As the illness progresses, mental deterioration becomes pronounced and involuntary movements, blindness, weakness of extremities, and coma may occur.

For the second time in less than a week, health officials are putting patients on notice after medical instruments were used on a patient now suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The new incident is completely unrelated to a similar warning that was issued just days ago in Halifax, officials say.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a transmissible, rapidly progressing, fatal neurodegenerative disorder called a spongioform degeneration that seems to be related to "mad cow disease." Description Before 1995, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was little-known outside of the medical profession; even within it, many practitioners did not know much about it. Most doctors had never seen a case. With the recognition of a so-called "new variant" or simply variant form of CJD with the strong possibility that those with it became infected simply by eating contaminated beef, CJD has become one of the most talked-about diseases in the world. Additionally, the radical theory that the infectious agent is a normal protein that has been changed in its form has also sparked much interest. First described in the first part of the twentieth century independently by Cretzfeldt and Jakob, CJD is a neurodegenerative disease causing a rapidly progressing dementia ending in death , usually within eight months of the onset of symptoms. It is also a very rare disease, affecting only about one in every million in the population through out the world. In the United States, CJD is thought to affect about 250 people each year. CJD affects adults primarily between ages 50 and 75.

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow disease") Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a degenerative neurologic disease acquired by eating beef from cows with a related illness known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) ("mad cow disease"). The disorder was initially described in the United Kingdom. As of February 2003, there were 129 definite or probable cases of variant CJD reported from the United Kingdom, six from France, and two from the Republic of Ireland. "Mad cow disease" has also been identified in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, and Japan, but human cases have not been reported from these countries to date. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy appears to be caused by abnormal proteins called prions, which do not resemble bacteria, viruses, or other conventional causes of human and animal disease. The agent that causes BSE is transmitted when meat and bone meal feed prepared from the carcasses of infected animals is fed back to other cattle. (This practice has been banned within the European Union and many other countries). The infection is not transmitted directly from animal to animal within herds. A new case of BSE arising within a country is therefore much more significant than an imported case, because it implies that recycled ruminant protein is still being used within that country as animal feed, against all current recommendations.

INDEPTH: Mad Cow Disease An unidentified patient died earlier this year. In 1996, the patient received blood from a donor who later died of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Variant CJD is the human form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease. The original infected donor showed no signs of the brain-wasting illness when giving blood. He developed the disease three years later. It isn't possible to determine whether the recipient contracted the disease from blood or if they were both infected independently by eating BSE-infected meat, Britain's health secretary told Parliament on Wednesday. "This is a possibility, not a proven causal connection," John Reid said. In 1997, Britain began applying safeguards for its blood supply. Most of the world's cases of vCJD have been in Britain.

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Saturday, December 27, 2003 by Reuters US Mad Cow Link Questioned in Creutzfeldt-Jakob Cases by Jed Seltzer and Elinor Mills Abreu NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO - Family and friends of American victims of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, the fatal brain disorder sometimes linked to mad cow disease, on Friday questioned whether the wasting illness that killed their loved ones was actually due to eating contaminated U.S. beef. After federal authorities said on Tuesday that a cow in Washington state was found to have mad cow disease, public health experts have been calling for a review of the U.S. Agriculture Department's screening procedures for cattle. But some victim's families have gone further, saying that the human form of the disease may have already hit the United States and that the government has been lax in its testing possible links and enforcing safety standards. "The most frustrating part of this disease is that there are no answers," said Chris Turnley, whose brother Peter Putnam, who grew up in Washington state, died of the disease last October at age 35. "They need to figure out the cause but also start figuring out treatments." So far, none of the roughly 300 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease diagnosed in the United States each year has been linked to U.S.-produced beef, said Pierluigi Gambetti, director of the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center at Case Western University.
