“…Because sCJD is rare, presents with nonspecific symptoms, and is difficult to definitely diagnose, practitioners must maintain a broad differential diagnosis at the onset. This includes, but is not limited to, neurodegenerative, vascular, autoimmune, infectious, toxic/metabolic, metastatic, and iatrogenic etiologies [ 14 ]. We present a case of sCJD in which the initial diagnostic workup ruled out an array of known causes, including CJD.…”

Background. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare disorder of the central nervous system. Its initial diagnosis may be obscured by its variable presentation. This case report illustrates the complexity of diagnosing this disease early in the clinical course, especially when the initial symptoms may be psychiatric. It offers a brief review of the literature and reinforces a role for consultation psychiatry services. Methods. PUBMED/MEDLINE was searched using the terms “Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease”, “psychiatric symptoms”, “conversion disorder”, “somatic symptom disorder”, “functional movement disorder”, and “functional neurologic disorder”. Case. The patient was a 64-year-old woman with no prior psychiatric history who was initially diagnosed with conversion disorder and unspecified anxiety disorder but soon thereafter was discovered to have Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Discussion. This case highlights the central role of psychiatric symptoms in early presentations of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Still, few other cases in the literature report functional neurological symptoms as an initial sign. The consultation psychiatrist must remain alert to changing clinical symptoms, especially with uncharacteristic disease presentations.

“…But this waste turned harmful by causing Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) which is widely acknowledged as mad cow disease. Dameron (2013) approached it as a prion disease in analyzing its rapid impersonation of some progressive dementias in the nervous system. And indeed, it became an epidemic among those who ate the sick meat and succumbed to the neurotic disease "Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease."…”

Livestock Management, Masculine Care and Cognitive Ecology: An Ecomasculine Approach to John Connell’s The Farmer’s Son

Ecological masculinism has been considered as a parallel movement to ecofeminism. It intends to investigate the role played by men in spatially coexisting with nature. Furthermore, it meditates on envisioning how men belonging to various categorical masculinities, nurture the natural environment in augmenting atmospheric stability. As a domain, ecological masculinism eschews the hegemonic approach towards nature by establishing a symbiotic relationship with biotic and abiotic components in an ecosystem. In compliance with the literary sphere, this movement embodies certain malestream norms which appeal to ecological specifications such as the insightful practice of Earthcare, ensuring ecological integrity, and regenerating natural resources. This paper examines John Connell’s The Farmer’s Son: Calving Season on a Family Farm (2019), an eco-autobiographical memoir as a frame of reference to spotlight certain eco-masculine intertextualities such as animal husbandry, glocal sustainability and psycho-cognitive objectives. This paper employs the theoretical frameworks of Karla Elliott’s Caring Masculinities and Susan Signe Morrison’s Waste-ern Tradition in mapping the eco-masculine praxis embedded in the prototypic conceptualisation of ‘eco-man’s husbandry’, through the rational quotients of livestock management, masculine care and cognitive ecology.

“…Поскольку ПЗ встречаются редко и начинаются с неспецифических симптомов, которые свидетельствуют о необычности поражения органов и тканей, они трудны для диагностики. Практическому врачу приходится проводить дифференциальный диагноз, который включает широкий круг различных по этиологии патологических состояний, в том числе другие нейродегенеративные, сосудистые, аутоиммунные, инфекционные, паранеопластические, токсические, метаболические и ятрогенные синдромы [5].…”

Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are a group of neurodegenerative diseases with progressive dementia and movement disorders. There are three variants of prion diseases pathogenesis: direct contamination, genetic and sporadic forms. The following clinical forms are known: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (common type), variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, variably protease-sensitive prionopathy, fatal insomnia and fatal familial insomnia, kuru, prion disease associated with diarrhea and autonomic neuropathy. Clinical characteristic of prion diseases, molecular-genetic aspects of their pathogenesis and current diagnostic approaches are discussed. Because of the lack of effective treatment, prevention of both alimentary prion infections (consumption of contaminated meat products) and transmissible iatrogenic infections (the use of biopreparations from animal tissues) is important. The safety of such biopreparations should be ensured by modern manufacturing technologies and specially developed procedures that meet international requirements and standards.

Rapid cognitive and functional decline

Abstract: The emergence of "mad cow disease" has sparked interest in prion diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a spongiform encephalopathy that can mimic other rapidly progressive dementias. A systematic approach to evaluation and diagnostic testing can help rule out other causes.
