What are the portable spongiform encephalopathy (TSES)?

Portable spongiform encephalopathy (TSES) is a neurological disease that is characterized by degeneration of brain tissue, causing a number of plaques and small holes. When the brain is examined during the autopsy, it looks a bit like a fungus that explains the term "spongiform". The cause for TSES is generally considered to be abnormal protein called prion and currently these diseases have no medicine. The priorities can survive extreme temperature changes and various antiseptics, which is very difficult to remove them. Prion diseases are a problem in many communities because the diagnosis is often omitted because symptoms may resemble a different condition such as senile dementia. In general, people are diagnosed with TSE only if they show features associated with a rare genetic version, or when there, experience dementia at an unusually young age and a solid diagnosis can only be obtained at autopsy because it requires brain tissue control. Patients may have trouble walking or speaking and often experience violent DEmence, because the infection literally casts holes into its brains. After a certain point of the nervous system, it simply fails, causing the patient to penetrate the coma and eventually died.

TSES can be found in a number of animals. In humans, the best-known example is probably Creutzfeldt-Jekoba's disease, but other human TSE includes Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker's disease, Kur and fatal familial insomnia. Sheep and goats can get cuts, while cows get beef spongiform encephalitis (BSE), also a well -known sneak cow. TSE was also diagnosed in deer and elk (chronic waste), cats (cat spongiform encephalitis) and mink (portable Norwegian encephalopathy).

In all cases, animals seem to be withdrawing with the ingestion of infected neurological tissue. Animals are the most common cause of contaminated feed because the practice of inclusion of rendered animal parts into feed for other protein is quite common. TSE can also be closed from brain surgery, although it is rare, because the prions responsible for TSE are able to survive Autoclave.

Because these diseases cannot be cured, most of the treatment is aimed at maintaining the patient's comfort. When TSE is suspicious, patients can be offered muscle relaxants to help them cope with twitching and other physical symptoms associated with TSE in the late stage because the body begins to lose control. These drugs can also maintain patients with extreme dementia more relaxed, making care easier.
