Mad Cow Disease: Horror or Hysteria?
Denis James
Economics, Commerce and Industrial Relations Group
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or 'mad cow disease', was first identified in the UK in November 1986. By July 1993, 100,000 cases of the disease had been confirmed and in 1995 alone, almost 20,000 British cows succumbed to the illness. The afflicted animals become anxious, develop an abnormal gait, suffer muscular spasms and cease eating. Upon autopsy, the animal's brain exhibits characteristic spongy changes in the structure of its nervous tissue with extensive nerve cell degeneration. BSE is only one of a number of spongiform encephalopathies (SEs) found in many species, including man. In humans, the closest analogue is Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), but other human SEs include Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, Alpers disease and kuru, this latter disease having afflicted certain tribes in Papua-New Guinea. Sheep can exhibit SE in the form of 'scrapie' while similar illnesses are also found in mink, deer, cats and other animals. All of these conditions are fatal. Most important is the fact that these illnesses involve some infectious agent and are transmissible. CJD, for example, has been transmitted amongst humans through human growth hormone, corneal transplantation and infected surgical instruments. BSE has been transmitted, in the laboratory, to cattle, mice, sheep and goats both orally or through the injection of infected tissue.

SEE/HEAR Editor's note: A number of children in Texas who are visually impaired or deafblind have as the cause of their sensory loss, Mitochondrial diseases. In order to understand more about these diseases, I visited the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation website. I learned that we have a great opportunity in Texas to learn more about these diseases because their 5th International Conference on Mitochondrial Diseases will be held this year in Dallas. I want to thank the UMDF for letting me excerpt portions of the wealth of information they provide on their website to share with our SEE/HEAR readers. I encourage you to visit this website if you have a child with a Mitochondrial disease or if you are a teacher working with one of these children.
Basis of the Disease
Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondria, specialized compartments present in every cell of the body except red blood cells. Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life and support growth. When they fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. Cell injury and even cell death follow. If this process is repeated throughout the body, whole systems begin to fail, and the life of the person in whom this is happening is severely compromised. The disease primarily affects children, but adult onset is becoming more and more common.

Life Created: 18th April 2001 Prions Front Page What is h2g2? Who's Online Write an Entry ... Help Like this page? Send it to a friend! A prion is a protein composed of about 250 amino acids. The term 'prion', meaning 'proteinaceous infectious particle' was first coined by Stanley B Prusiner in 1982 to refer to an infectious agent that caused a range of neurodegenerative diseases in animals, including humans. He proposed that this agent consisted of a protein and nothing more. The research he had carried out indicated that no genetic material whatsoever, was involved in the transmission of prion diseases. This was viewed as scientific heresy at the time. Every other disease studied up to that point, employed DNA or RNA, whether the microbial agent was a bacterium, a fungus, a nematode, a protozoan, a virus - all required genes to carry instructions to replicate. Proteins are manufactured in cells as they are required by the body. Their form and function is genetically determined. Each protein is made up of amino acids strung together in a specific sequence. The type of protein depends on the types and sequence of its amino acids. These control the way the protein is folded which, in turn, determines the function of the protein. Proteins are contortionists - folded and twisted into very complicated shapes.
