Crazy's disease overview

Crazy cow disease (whose English name is creutzfeldt-jakob) is a brain degeneration disorder that leads to dementia and eventually death. Symptoms of crazy cow disease may be similar to the brain disorders of other dementia such as Alzheimer, but crazy cow disease often progresses much faster.

Crazy cow disease attracted public attention in the 1990s, when some people in the UK developed crazy cow disease after eating brain or spinal tissue of infected cows.Although serious, crazy cow disease is very rare and less common. Worldwide, an estimated case of crazy cow disease is diagnosed on one million people each year, the most common in the elderly.

Crazy cow disease in Vietnam in recent years has recorded some suspicious cases, but due to lack of facilities to diagnose this disease, but the disease progressed very quickly and there was no special medicine, Therefore, these cases are often discharged home.    

Causes of Crazy's disease

Crazy cow's disease and its variants are all of the groups of infectious diseases that cause brain disease. The name originates from foams, can be visible under a microscope when illuminating the brain tissue damaged.

The cause of crazy cow disease and other tsees are the abnormalities of a protein called Prion. Normally this protein is harmless to human health. However, when they are deformed, they will lead to infection and disturb the normal biological processes of the body.

Symptoms of Crazy's disease

Symptoms of crazy cow disease are marked with a quick mental health decline, usually within a few months. Common initial signs and symptoms such as:

  • Change personality

    • Axious

    Depressed

  • Memory loss
  • Puppet thoughts
  • Reduced or blind vision
  • Insomnia
  • Hard to say
  • Difficult to swallow
  • Sudden movement

    • When the disease progresses, symptoms of mental health become worse. Most of the end, the patient falls into a coma, heart failure, respiratory failure, pneumonia or infection is the main cause of death. From the disease and to the normal round lasting within a year.

    Transmission route of Crazy's diseaseCrazy

    Low possibility of people with crazy cow disease. The disease cannot be transmitted through cough or sneezing, touching or having sex. But there are three contagious paths that can be encountered as follows:

  • NOT regularly. Most people with classic crazy cows are infected with unknown infection, also known as spontaneous or sporadic crazy cow disease, which accounts for most cases.
  • Due to genetics. Less than 15% of people with crazy cows have a family history or a positive test with a gene mutation related to crazy cow disease. This type is called family crazy cow disease.
  • due to infection. A few people have infected with crazy cow after exposure to the patient's tissue such as corneal transplant or skin transplant. In addition, due to the non -destructive disinfection methods, there is a few people who have been infected with crazy cow after brain surgery with infected surgical instruments. The above cases of crazy cow disease are called crazy cows due to treatment (IiaTrogenic CJD). Another variant of crazy beef disease is associated with eating beef infected with crazy beef such as sponge encephalitis in cows (English is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, BSE).

    • People at risk for Crazy's disease

    Most cases of crazy cow disease occur for unknown causes and no risk factors can be determined. However, some factors may be related to different variants of crazy cow disease such as:

  • Age. Crazy cow disease tends to grow late, usually about 60 years old. The development of genetic crazy beef disease occurs a bit earlier and the disease has affected people at much younger age, usually after 20 years of age.

    • Genetics. For those who have a relative with crazy cow, the higher generation will have the same disease. Just need a mutant gene from parents enough to develop into disease.

  • Genetic analysis in people with crazy cow disease (IATRogenIC CJD) and variations of crazy cow's disease show that the inheritance of identical copies of one of one The number of variants of the Prion gene may increase the risk of developing crazy cows if exposed to polluted tissue.
  • Exposure to polluted tissue. People treated with human growth hormone originating from the pituitary gland or epidural transplants of the brain may be at risk of crazy cow disease.
  • The risk of crazy beef disease from eating contaminated beef is difficult to identify. In general, if countries effectively implement food management measures, the risk of crazy cow disease is almost no.

    • Prevention of Crazy's disease

    There is currently no way to prevent crazy cow disease in a sporadic form. If there is a family history of neurological diseases, patients should be consulted by genetic experts to discuss other risks that increase both the ability to have crazy cows or the development of the disease without disease. Thanh has disease.

    Preventing IATRogenIC CJD

    Hospitals and health organizations should follow the process of infection control to prevent crazy cow disease caused by millions such as:

  • Use the general growth hormone, rather than the type of human pituitary.
  • Destroy surgical tools used on the brain or nerve tissue of any patient who has known or suspected crazy cow disease.
  • Use only one -time tools for a patient such as a spinal removal procedure.

    • To help ensure safety for blood transfusion, those at risk of exposure to crazy cow or its variants will not be eligible for blood donation in flowers Ky such as:

  • Having relatives with the same blood has been diagnosed with crazy cow disease
  • was treated with cortical transplant surgery
  • treated with growth hormone
  • Having lived for at least three months in the United Kingdom from 1980 to 1996
  • Having lived for 05 years or more in Europe since 1980
  • lived on US military bases in Northern Europe for at least six months from 1980 to 1990, or at other locations in Europe from 1980 to 1996. >
  • has been blood transfusion in the United States or France since 1980
  • Injumped insulin from 1980

    • The United Kingdom, as well as some other countries, all have certain standards related to blood donation from people at risk of exposure to crazy cows and variables. its form.

    Preventing variants of crazy cow disease
  • The risk of signing the variation of crazy cow disease in flowers is still extremely low. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are only three cases reported in the United States, which is evidence that these cases have been infected from abroad in the UK and Saudi Arabia. >
  • In the United Kingdom, where most cases of raw variants of crazy cow disease have less than 200 cases have been reported. The incidence of crazy cow disease peaks from 1999 to 2000 and has decreased since then.
    • Manage potential sources of infection

    Most countries have taken the steps to prevent the tissue infection of the sponge encephalitis in the cow invading food supply. , including:

  • Strictly restrict the import of cattle from countries where sponge encephalitis in cows is common
  • Restrictions on animal feed
  • Strict procedures to deal with illness animals
  • Methods of monitoring and testing to monitor cattle health

    • Restrictions on parts of cattle can be processed into food

    Diagnostic measures for Crazy's disease

    Only brain biopsy or brain tissue test after death (autopsy) can accurately diagnose crazy cow disease. But doctors can often diagnose based on a history of disease, neurological examination and some tests that help diagnose correctly.

    When examining physical symptoms, the doctor may detect typical symptoms such as muscle convulsions and spasms, abnormal reflexes and coordination problems. People with crazy cows may also have blind spots and change the awareness of the sight. In addition, doctors often use the following tests to help detect crazy cow disease:

  • EEG (EEG). Use electrodes placed on the scalp of the patient to measure the electrical activity of the brain. People with crazy cow disease and its variants will have abnormal and very typical brain waves.
  • MRI. This image technique uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create an images that cut the brain and body of the patient. This measure is especially useful in the diagnosis of brain disorders because of the high -resolution images of white and brain gray matter.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid test. The cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord buffer. In a spinal cord detector, the doctor will puncture the cerebrospinal fluid and test to find the impression of a special protein in the spinal fluid is often a sign of crazy cow and the variant of crazy cow disease. >

    • Crazy's disease treatments

    There is no effective treatment for crazy cow disease or any variant of it. Some drugs have been tested but have not shown effective. For that reason, doctors often focus on pain relief and other symptoms, making people suffer from these diseases as comfortable as possible.
