Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), also known as subacute spongiform encephalopathy or neurocognitive disorder due to prion disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] Early symptoms include memory problems, behavioral changes, poor coordination, and visual disturbances. [ 4 ]
Fatal insomnia is an extremely rare neurodegenerative prion disease that results in trouble sleeping as its hallmark symptom. [2] The majority of cases are familial (fatal familial insomnia [FFI]), stemming from a mutation in the PRNP gene, with the remainder of cases occurring sporadically (sporadic fatal insomnia [sFI]).
The Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance System (CJDSS) is a unit of the Public Health Agency of Canada. It studies the various variants of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease , and at least as of 2017, assisted "with DNA sequencing , autopsy and case confirmation". [ 1 ]
Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt (June 2, 1885 – December 30, 1964) was a German neurologist and neuropathologist. [1] Although he is typically credited as the physician to first describe the Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, this has been disputed. [1] [2] [3] He was born in Harburg an der Elbe and died in Munich.
The first examples of these stable magnesium(I) compounds were reported in 2007. [2] The chemistry of Mg is dominated by the +2 oxidation state and prior to 2007 only examples of crystalline compounds with short Mg-Mg distances that may indicate an Mg-Mg bond were known, such as the ternary metal hydrides Mg 2 RuH 4, Mg 3 RuH 3, and Mg 4 IrH 5 ...
Butabarbital (brand name Butisol) is a prescription barbiturate sleep aid and anxiety medication.Butabarbital has a particularly fast onset of effects and short duration of action compared to other barbiturates, which makes it useful for certain applications such as treating severe insomnia, relieving general anxiety and relieving anxiety before surgical procedures; however it is also ...
The 2022 deaths of two hunters who ate venison infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD) has raised concerns the illness could pass to humans.
The structures of solid magnesium citrates have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.In the 1:1 salt, only one carboxylate of citrate is deprotonated. It has the formula Mg(H 2 C 6 H 5 O 7) 2 The other form of magnesium citrate has the formula Mg(HC 6 H 5 O 7)(H 2 O) 2, consisting of the citrate dianion (both carboxylic acids are deprotonated). [1]
