Prion Disease
Prion diseases are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain. These proteins, known as prions, are infectious and can transmit between individuals and animals.
Causes:
Prion diseases are caused by the conversion of normal prion proteins (PrP) into misfolded, infectious forms (PrPsc). These misfolded proteins can aggregate and form clumps in the brain, leading to cell death and brain damage.
Types:
There are several types of prion diseases, including:
Symptoms:
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans
- Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or "mad cow disease") in cattle
- Scrapie in sheep
- Chronic wasting disease in deer and elk
Symptoms of prion diseases typically develop gradually and progress over months to years. They may include:
Diagnosis:
- Memory loss and confusion
- Movement disorders (e.g., tremors, difficulty walking)
- Psychiatric symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, agitation)
- Insomnia
- Weight loss
Prion diseases can be difficult to diagnose due to the wide range of symptoms they can cause. Diagnosis is typically based on:
Clinical evaluation, Brain biopsy, and Genetic testing.
Treatment:
There is currently no cure for prion diseases. Treatment is supportive and focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Prevention:
There is no known way to prevent prion diseases. However, measures can be taken to reduce the risk of exposure, such as:
Avoiding consumption of infected meat products, Practicing good hygiene, and Using caution when handling potentially contaminated materials.
Outlook:
Prion diseases are invariably fatal. The average life expectancy after symptom onset is typically less than a year.

That Dom was GOOD.

Probably. I cannot get behind an expensive 2-way player. There career might be short lived. Can he earn his money on one side of the ball? Likely but that defeats all the interest?Is Trevor Lawrence highly overrated?
