How Can the Prion Diseases Treatment be done and Tackled? The human body contains a protein called a prion, responsible for making the body strong and healthy. The prion is present in all animals, but it is scarce to see a case of prion diseases in humans. But recently, Prion Diseases Treatment have been considered a significant health issue, and several prion diseases have been identified in the last couple of years. As per studies, prion diseases occur due to the abnormal protein formed inside the body called a prion. The prion gets formed due to an unknown reason, and it destroys the brain once it starts. The prions are present in our blood, brain, spinal fluid, urine, and faeces. Prions get transmitted to people from animals, but people also can get infected due to contaminated food. Classification of Prion Disease Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders, and the prion protein misfolding diseases causes the symptoms. These prion diseases are tough to diagnose, and there is no cure yet, but there are many ways to treat prion diseases. The prion diseases are classified into five groups according to their different causes and symptoms. They are spongiform encephalopathies, kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) and fatal familial insomnia (FFI). What Are The Symptoms Of The Prion Diseases? Some of the main prion disease symptoms include dementia, anxiety, mental illness, and memory loss. Usually, the symptoms appear slowly. The symptoms include holes in the brain and slow brain degeneration. The symptoms include:
Dementia: The patients get impaired in cognitive functions. They can't do any activities properly. Anxiety: The patients feel restless and sometimes even like going crazy. Mental illness: The patients show depression and sometimes even hallucinations. Memory loss: The patients forget essential things that are happening around them. Brain damage: Several neurological symptoms appear in convulsions, epilepsy, abnormal behaviours, and loss of balance. The prion diseases are also known as protein-folding diseases. According to the CDC, prion disease cases are increasing daily, and many new cases are being reported. How Can The Prion Diseases Be Prevented?
