A case of mad cow disease, scientifically known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), was identified in a 9-year-old cow from northern Para state, Brazil.
The findings were made public on February 20 and triggered an automatic ban on the sale of Brazilian beef to China. Earlier, three other Asian markets – Thailand, Iran and Jordan – also announced a temporary ban on beef imports from anywhere in Brazil.
Russian authorities have also suspended imports of Brazilian beef, but only from the state of Para, according to an earlier statement by the ministry, with only one meat packing plant in Para authorized to sell beef to Russia. Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has emphasized that it aims to revitalize beef exports. “as soon as possible”
“The infected animal has been destroyed.”…Officials explained that unusual cases of mad cow disease can occur spontaneously in cattle populations and that such infections do not depend on eating food contaminated by an unusual pathogen called prions. But “BSE” is considered more serious. because it involves contamination of prion proteins
And… might cause a damaging trade embargo.
Center for Emerging Diseases Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital The diagnosis of mad cow disease in animals and humans, vCJD, and mad cow-like disease in humans CJD can be diagnosed by the “RT-QuiC” method and prion protein gene analysis can be used to diagnose hereditary diseases…
Prof. Dr. Teerawat Hemajutha or “Doctor Stubborn” Head of Emerging Diseases Health Science Center Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Said on the program “Mor Kho Lao”, he said that the mad cow story in Brazil was quite shocking. because this disease should not be found in this world anymore
A report from the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture from February until the ban on the export of cattle from Brazil in several countries including Thailand, China, Iran, Jordan and Russia.
Around 1996, there will be a disease we call mad cow disease in humans. Until someone died until 2014. Asked regarding the cause … caused by sheep disease or scrapies, it is a disease of the breed of sheep. If a mutton carcass at the highest heat is given to a cow to eat Cows will not be
But…the problem is that there is a reduction in temperature. The cows then receive infected prions. Each species has a landscape that prevents the crossing of one species from one species to another.
when crossed The ox has an affinity for a donkey, a deer, a tiger, or a cat, and eventually a person.
The key point is the symptoms that the patients show. Emphasize that the diseases found in patients can be divided into 3 characteristics, one … occurs naturally. one in a million rate There will be a characteristic manifestation of dementia that occurs rapidly and severely. In some cases, it may come in the form of poor balance or abnormal vision, etc.
The second trait … another group is that it is hereditary or genetic will result in the characteristics of the protein not being the same. causing the adhesion of these toxic proteins in different parts of the brain It will make the symptoms different. But it may be a long life following the first symptoms have been gone for a long time.
As for the last group, it was caused by the mad cow transmission. At this point, the period of life that can be lived, it may last for a year or more. But the symptoms will look different, some people have a burning pain in the feet or legs… In computers, electromagnetic fields are abnormal in different ways.
This makes it possible to see if this person is supposed to be CJD or if it’s vCJD as it was caused by mad cow. But viewing in this way must be separated from many other diseases together. Especially diseases caused by the immune system and cause inflammation of the brain. which is characterized by rapid and severe dementia
The important question is… how is BSE transmitted? How is it stuck? How can it spread from animals to people?
Prof. Dr. Teerawat said that when we take the tissue of a diseased person and put it on another person for decoration or treatment, for example, there is an accident whether it’s the spine, cervical vertebrae or skull. cortex Therefore, it will be repaired later by taking these tissues and cutting them in…
“This infectious protein slowly creeps up. Or slowly go through the brain of the recipients of these tissues. Another group… arising from eating. Eating diseased parts of cows…”
Knowing this, we know each other regarding prevention… “The important point is that it’s impossible to defend. This disease is a matter of eating. Currently, the authorities are inspecting imported products from various countries. If there is a warning, be careful…importation is prohibited until it is proven to be safe.”
including examination Test Thai cows from time to time whether there is a random risk that will occur or not?
back to brazil It was found that the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil confirmed that it did not feed the sheep carcass or meal to the Brazilian cattle. This is an unnatural occurrence. Or unusually, the cows in Brazil itself. Is it possible to erupt like a mad cow yourself?
And if it can erupt by itself, then…meaning how much or less will it happen in the future? which is something to watch very much
In the event that someone who has already had it… must have palliative treatment. Because there is not any treatment that can prolong life. Or make it possible to survive this mad cow disease. Whether it is BSE that enters humans or is it a spontaneous CJD? or in a group that has been infected by tissues that have been cut into themselves
Finally… Advice The best way to take care of yourself must be told honestly that In this disease, it’s difficult to say how to prevent and take care of it. But in another way, it is a prion disease, a twisted and toxic protein disease. The protein responsible for Alzheimer’s is the same protein as the prion protein.
Therefore, it is now reported that If surgical instruments involving the nervous system are used in patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. If the apparatus is not able to heat up at sufficiently high pressure…
This protein can also be transmitted to people undergoing surgery using the same equipment. And there are reports gradually coming out. regarding the matter “Dementia”…a contagious type It is an important chapter in the story of mad cow-like diseases in humans, CJD…mad cow and…Alzheimer’s.
