A response to the director of the prion unit on the topic of creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). See also the NHS Choices video. This response video comments upon the NHS Choices video. See www.youtube.com Another interview with John Collinge (on variant CJD) is at www.youtube.com
Francesca has a genetic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and Colin's wife was diagnosed with sporadic CJD in 2006. They explain how it affects their lives
Professor John Collinge of the National Prion Clinic explains different variants of CJD, a rare neurological illness that causes damage to the brain and for which there is no cure

Vial is a small bottle, usually of glass, for containing liquids. A prion is any of a group of tiny infectious agents composed mainly or entirely of protein: though lacking in demonstrable nucleic acid, prions are capable of self-replication and are thought to be the cause of various degenerative diseases of the nervous systems of vertebrates, as scrapie and kuru

This Discovery documentary deals with a very rare and unusual prion disease called "Fatal Familial Insomnia" or FFI for short. FFI is a prion disease that targets the thalamus, of which of its many functions is the sleep regulator of the body. The prions form aggregates of amyloid plaques that destroy the neurons in this area.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. It is caused by a prion, which is neither a virus nor a bacteria, and technically, is not "alive". Other prion diseases, in animals, there is a disease of cattle called BSE or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly called mad cow disease), in sheep there is "scrapie" and in humans, there is gerstmannsträusslerscheinker syndrome (GSS), fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and kuru-kuru in humans in Papua New Guinea. The most common means of infection is through intake or transplant of infected tissue in the body. The ingestion of infected central nervous system tissue (brain and spinal cord) is the way in which kuru-kuru was transmitted, when Papua New Guinea natives consumed the flesh and brains of dead relatives. There is a variant form which is caused by medical procedures such as corneal transplant from another person, and bone grafting from another donor (in which the donor is infected or contaminated with the altered prions). There is no known cure. Although it is thought to have a long incubation period, as much as 50 years, once symptoms arise, typically, people are dead within one year. ONE MISTAKE in the video is that I said "Don't be a vampire and don't eat brains" and of course, Vampires do not eat brains, but Zombies do (in the movies), so, Don't be a Zombie and don't eat brains would be a better caveat.
The role of protein folding in prion disease such as mad cow disease is explained by Susan Lindquist. Watch the entire seminar at www.ibioseminars.org.
Michael Geschwind, MD phd, of ucsf's Memory and Aging Center explains the limited risk of prion disease transmission from US beef to humans.
Prion disease in cows, known as BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), can be transmitted from cows to humans if areas of highly concentrated prions, such as the cow's brain or inner part of the eye, come into contact with the meat of the cow that humans eat. Michael Geschwind, MD phd, of ucsf's Memory and Aging Center explains the very rare cicumstances in which this may happen.
A prion protein is a naturally occurring protein that can be found throughout our bodies, and in high concentrations in the brain. Michael Geschwind, MD phd, explains how a healthy prion protein changes into an unhealthy prion, causing disease.
CWD/Mad Deer Disease spread by hunting An Associated Press story speculates today that Wisconsin hunters, having killed deer in the area of the state known to be infected with mad cow-like Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), might have spread the disease around the state by taking carcasses back to their homes and dumping them in the environment. Yes, that is a possibility, but not the most obvious possibility. Feeding rendered byproducts is a much more obvious threat to spread CWD around the state, the nation and to other livestock. Extensive supplement feeding of wild deer to grow big antlers has gone on in Wisconsin's CWD eradication zone, and in fact all over much of the US. The supplements contain protein, minerals, and binders (fat), much of it from rendered slaughterhouse waste, the same stuff that amplified and spread mad cow disease in England. In Wisconsin in 1995 alone over 26000 road-killed deer were rendered into meat and bone meal used in animal feed. Unlike Britain and Europe, the US still feeds billions of pounds of mammalian rendered byproduct back to livestock. As we document in our book Mad Cow USA, US feed regulations are so weak that cattle blood is used in calf feed. Such policies are inviting a disaster that could dwarf Britain's mad cow crisis since the US is the biggest meat producing country in the world. At least seven people age 66 or younger -- all hunters or venison eaters -- are known to have died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob in the US in the last nine ...

How many infected deer have hunters been dumping to the pantries.? These disease is a slow death that can take up to 10 years to show up. Its not the "sports" hunters that has to be concerened because the "sports" hunters do not eat the meat but the pantries that they "give" to must have consumed a lot of disease non-usda inspected carcass. Mad Cow, Mad Deer and the Mad Bureaucrats www.maddeer.org What the government isn't telling you about mad deer disease. "Some hunters too squeamish to eat their kill are donating the venison to pantries for the homeless. " archive.salon.com Now, Mad Deer "Unfortunately, the states in which mad-deer infection is highest also rely heavily on the sale of hunting licenses, making them loath to publicize the possibility that eating venison might turn your brain into a sponge. Currently, detection of the disease requires waiting for an animal to drop dead under suspicious conditions and then relying on hunters or game farmers to call in a vet for a post-mortem rather than simply shipping the carcass to the rendering plant. "Obviously, when the animals are dying of the disease, it's much too late to have prevented the disease from getting from one animal to another," says Dr. Mary Jo Schmerr, lead scientist of prion diseases at the Agricultural Research Service. "If you could detect it before they show these clinical signs, you could remove them from the flock or herd." www.sierraclub.org Seem like the hunting is to blame for CWD/Mad Deer ...

Prion diseases are so awful and the proteins so unpredictable that scientists take extraordinary precautions against infection when studying them in the lab. Patrick Bosque, a neurologist at the University of Colorado in Denver, studied prions in hamsters and mice, which do not appear to be transmissible to people. Yet he routinely wore disposable gloves, shoe covers and a gown, and avoided carrying his lab notebook or other potentially contaminated material out of the lab. Whenever he conducted a procedure that might spray or splash prions, he worked in a special hood to shield his face and upper arms. "Then you're going to tell me I'm going to eat deer?" Bosque asked. "I definitely would not eat deer I thought had been infected." While health officials have not recommended a ban on deer hunting, they are closely monitoring deer hunters and their kills. Hunters might be at risk when they contact blood or tissue while gutting animals, or from eating the meat, Brown said. www.post-gazette.com Bosque believes no one knows enough about CWD -- more commonly known as mad deer -- to say that eating venison is safe. "If it was very transmissible, we'd know it," he says.

Alzheimers disease (AD) is a critical health care problem that has considerable social and economic impact on society. Effective treatments have been elusive. One major causal factor for the disease is believed to be the deposition of amyloid fibrils in the brain, which ultimately leads to neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction. Based on the amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimers disease, many therapies presently target the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide, the monomeric protein fragment that assembles to form fibrils. This video article takes the form of a debate between Dr. Morgan and Dr. Landreth on the merits and drawbacks of an Alzheimers disease vaccine.
