Monday, July 21, 2008 By Mary Ann Cavazos (Contact) Originally published 05:30 p.m., July 21, 2008 Updated 05:30 p.m., July 21, 2008 CORPUS CHRISTI — Local health officials are awaiting test results to determine whether a Corpus Christi man who died earlier this month had the human form of mad cow disease. A brain biopsy is needed to confirm if the man had the disease and whether it is the variant linked to mad cow. Those results will come from out-of-state and will be available in about two months, Rodriguez said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web site, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare but fatal brain disorder in humans. It is believed that humans can become infected by consuming contaminated meat or through a blood transfusion from a person who already has the disease. The man, whose identity and age were not released, traveled extensively and it is unclear where he may have been exposed to the disease, Rodriguez said. “He traveled all over the world,” she said http://www.caller.com/news/2008/jul/21/officials-await-tests-man-human-mad-cow-disease/ CJD TEXAS (cjd clusters) http://cjdtexas.blogspot.com/ don't these dummies know by now that the USA does not have any mad cow disease and or any human cjd ramifications from a mad cow, cause the USDA says so... NOT there has been a decade old, systematic cover-up of corporate homicide just because of trade, futures and commodities. the elderly demented, your grandma and grandpa, mom and dad, sisters and brothers, are all expendable, due to the fact the American joe-cue-public is just to damn lazy to care. the elderly and demented are expendable. but mark my word here and now, it's here, and has been, call it what you like..... 10 people killed by new CJD-like disease Public release date: 9-Jul-2008 Since Gambetti's team wrote a paper describing an initial 11 cases referred to his centre between 2002 and 2006 (Annals of Neurology, vol 63, p 697), another five have come to light. "So it is possible that it could be just the tip of the iceberg," Gambetti says. snip...end http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-07/ns-tpk070908.php sporadic CJD, the big lie Thursday, July 10, 2008 A Novel Human Disease with Abnormal Prion Protein Sensitive to Protease update July 10, 2008 http://cjdmadcowbaseoct2007.blogspot.com/2008/07/novel-human-disease-with-abnormal-prion.html Thursday, July 10, 2008 A New Prionopathy update July 10, 2008 http://cjdmadcowbaseoct2007.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-prionopathy-update-july-10-2008.html MAD COW DISEASE terminology UK c-BSE (typical), atypical BSE H or L, and or Italian L-BASE http://bse-atypical.blogspot.com/2008/03/mad-cow-disease-terminology-uk-c-bse.html Saturday, June 21, 2008 HUMAN and ANIMAL TSE Classifications i.e. mad cow disease and the UKBSEnvCJD only theory JUNE 2008 http://cjdmadcowbaseoct2007.blogspot.com/2008/06/human-and-animal-tse-classifications-ie.html if you will notice on the forms page on the cjd foundation site, there is not cjd questionnaire ??? strange... http://www.cjdsurveillance.com/forms.html vCJD questionnaire http://www.bseinquiry.gov.uk/report/volume8/pdf/1stquestionnaire.pdf USA WRITTEN CJD QUESTIONNAIRE ??? http://cjdquestionnaire.blogspot.com/ why is a cjd questionnaire not listed on the cjd foundation 'forms' site with the rest of their forms ??? i thought they had one now going out to all families of victims of a human TSE??? this is very important that a _written_ cjd questionnaire, asking extensive questions pertaining to any potential route and source of the TSE agent be submitted to every family of a victim of a human TSE. this is key to finding cause. so why is this still so difficult? are the families of CJD victims getting these written cjd questionnaires??? i hope so.... 2008 _one case per 9000 in adults age 55 and older_.

MAX Published: March 28, 2004 http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/28/magazine/28MADCOW.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5007&en=e9ce343a2ac0c0ac&ex=1395810000&partner=USERLAND -- the scientists who say it exists; the heartbroken family members who doubt it. Early, deep in his grief, he would sign his e-mail messages to scientists, ''I am the madson of a deadmom who died of madcow.'' Singeltary turned out to be helpful for Skarbek. He pointed her to a paper that was published in 2002 in the journal of the European Molecular Biology Organization by John Collinge, the premier prion researcher in England. Collinge argued that experiments conducted in mice suggest that infections with mad cow can sometimes look like sporadic C.J.D. Collinge accepted the implications: he recommended that ''serious consideration should be given'' to the idea that some of the more recent sporadic C.J.D. cases in Europe were in fact related to mad cow disease. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/28/magazine/28MADCOW.html?pagewanted=5&ei=5007&en=e9ce343a2ac0c0ac&ex=1395810000&partner=USERLAND i hate to inform them, but sporadic CJD has increased. sporadic CJD in the USA went from 28 cases _documented_ in 1997, to 170 cases of sporadic CJD _documented_ in 2007. i'm not a math wiz, but looks like an increase to me. ... 6 Includes 55 cases with type determination pending in which the diagnosis of vCJD has been excluded. http://www.cjdsurveillance.com/pdf/case-table.pdf hmmm, they can exclude vCJD, but yet include them as a prion disease, but yet not know what the hell it is, and at the same time, keep telling everyone i.e. media, that ; >>>Further tests will be conducted to determine the cause of the Cape patient's illness, but state disease trackers said there is nothing to suggest that the patient's case is associated with mad cow disease. Instead, like virtually all cases in the United States, it is almost certainly not linked to any obvious external cause.<<< stupid is, as stupid does, and joe-q-public continues to believe this garbage. ...TSS DEEP THROAT TO TSS 2000-2001 (take these old snips of emails with how ever many grains of salt you wish. ...tss) The most frightening thing I have read all day is the report of Gambetti's finding of a new strain of sporadic cjd in young people... Dear God, what in the name of all that is holy is that!!! If the US has different strains of scrapie.....why????than the UK... then would the same mechanisms that make different strains of scrapie here make different strains of BSE...if the patterns are different in sheep and mice for scrapie.....could not the BSE be different in the cattle, in the mink, in the humans.......I really think the slides or tissues and everything from these young people with the new strain of sporadic cjd should be put up to be analyzed by many, many experts in cjd........bse.....scrapie Scrape the damn slide and put it into mice.....wait.....chop up the mouse brain and and spinal cord........put into some more mice.....dammit amplify the thing and start the damned research.....This is NOT rocket science...we need to use what we know and get off our butts and move....the whining about how long everything takes.....well it takes a whole lot longer if you whine for a year and then start the research!!! Not sure where I read this but it was a recent press release or something like that: I thought I would fall out of my chair when I read about how there was no worry about infectivity from a histopath slide or tissues because they are preserved in formic acid, or formalin or formaldehyde.....for God's sake........ Ask any pathologist in the UK what the brain tissues in the formalin looks like after a year.......it is a big fat sponge...the agent continues to eat the brain ......you can't make slides anymore because the agent has never stopped........and the old slides that are stained with Hemolysin and Eosin......they get holier and holier and degenerate and continue...what you looked at 6 months ago is not there........Gambetti better be photographing every damned thing he is looking at..... http://cjdmadcowbaseoct2007.blogspot.com/2008/06/portsmouth-woman-did-not-die-of-mad-cow.html TSS
