Estimating the prevalence at death of CTE neuropathology among professional football players

-


    In July 2017, JAMA published results from autopsies of the brains of 202 deceased American football players.1 Of the 111 participants who had played in the National Football League (NFL), 110 (99%) received a neuropathologic diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with head trauma. This 99% figure received substantial media coverage when the study was published.

    New study suggests at least one in 10 NFL players could eventually develop the brain disease.

       I am overwhelm with joy and happiness and i am happy to share this with you all around the world about how Dr.CHUKWU MADU HERBAL HOME cured HERPES VIRUS...ever since i was diagnosed of Herpes virus in 2015, I was always thinking on how  I can get a solution out of my body so that i can be okay again. Until One day I went online on the internet to know more about the Herpes Virus i came across a Review Comment many people are saying that Dr.CHUKWU MADU HERBAL HOME cured their Herpes Genital Virus, I did not believe, i search again and i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from HPV AND HIV by Dr.CHUKWU MADU HERBAL HOME..and i decided to contact Dr CHUKWU MADU HERBAL HOME to Help and i told him about my HERPES illness he told me not to worry about,that he is going to send me his herbal medicine and actually he did.i took the medicine just as prescribe by him, he told me to go for check up in the hospital which i did and to my great surprise my Doctor told me the Herpes Virus was no longer there, all thank to you sir Dr CHUKWU MADU HERBAL HOME, contact his WhatsApp Number: +2347030936239 .His email: dr.chukwumaduherbalhome@gmail.com.

    Lo primero es el porqué... Es necesario un buen mantenimiento de registros para análisis de datos, publicación, colaboración, revisión por pares y otras actividades de investigación. La institución requiere un buen mantenimiento de registros para cumplir con las políticas y estándares aceptados para la realización de una buena ciencia. Es necesario un buen mantenimiento de registros para respaldar los reclamos de propiedad intelectual. Un buen mantenimiento de registros puede ayudarlo a defenderse de acusaciones falsas de mala conducta en la investigación. Un buen mantenimiento de registros es importante en el cuidado de seres humanos. Un cuaderno de laboratorio es un registro de la actividad física y mental. Los datos de laboratorio incluyen datos tangibles como geles, diapositivas, fotografías e impresiones de computadora, así como intangibles como observaciones y conclusiones. Los datos pueden presentarse en diferentes formas, como geles o fotos de geles, escaneos de picos y cuantif

    Prions, prionoids and protein misfolding disorders #PMD

    -

    Prion diseases are progressive, incurable and fatal neurodegenerative conditions. The term ‘prion’ was first nominated to express the revolutionary concept that a protein could be infectious. We now know that prions consist of PrPSc, the pathological aggregated form of the cellular prion protein PrPC. Over the years, the term has been semantically broadened to describe aggregates irrespective of their infectivity, and the prion concept is now being applied, perhaps overenthusiastically, to all neurodegenerative diseases that involve protein aggregation. Indeed, recent studies suggest that prion diseases (PrDs) and protein misfolding disorders (PMDs) share some common disease mechanisms, which could have implications for potential treatments. Nevertheless, the transmissibility of bona fide prions is unique, and PrDs should be considered as distinct from other PMDs. REFERENCE: Scheckel C, Aguzzi A.

    Viral Triggers and Inflammatory Mechanisms in Pediatric Epilepsy. Review

    -

    Experimental and clinical findings suggest a crucial role for inflammation in the onset of pediatric seizures; this mechanism is not targeted by conventional antiepileptic drugs and may contribute to refractory epilepsy. Several triggers, including infection with neurotropic viruses such as human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), other herpesviruses, and picornaviruses, appear to induce activation of the innate and adaptive immune systems, which results in several neuroinflammatory responses, leading to enhanced neuronal excitability, and ultimately contributing to epileptogenesis. This review discusses the proposed mechanisms by which infection with herpesviruses, and particularly with HHV-6, and ensuing inflammation may lead to seizure generation, and later development of epilepsy. We also examine the evidence that links herpesvirus and picornavirus infections with acute seizures and chronic forms of epilepsy. Understanding the mechanisms by which specific viruses may trigger a cascade of alt
