Extractions: The world's first test for the human form of mad cow disease has been developed by British scientists and is set to be available to doctors next year. Experts at the Manchester Royal Infirmary have invented a simple, painless heart test which takes just ten minutes to find out whether patients have the fatal brain-wasting condition, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, known as vCJD. The breakthrough could offer peace of mind to 6,000 people in Britain who have been told that they may have contracted the deadly disease through a blood transfusion or receiving blood plasma products. The test would rule out the possibility that they had the disease. Dr Chris Pomfrett has devised the heartbeat test which hospital doctors or GPs can perform to discover if someone has vCJD up to five years before they experience any symptoms. The wireless belt device is strapped around the chest and works by measuring the heartbeat 1,000 times a second for ten minutes, which experts then use to look for the signature pattern of vCJD. Dr Pomfrett says: `In each of the vCJD patients it worked 100 per cent as it picked up the same signature.

Extractions: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a transmissible, neurodegenerative, fatal brain disease of cattle. The disease has a long incubation period of four to five years, but ultimately is fatal for cattle within weeks to months of its onset. BSE first came to the attention of the scientific community in November 1986 with the appearance in cattle of a newly-recognized form of neurological disease in the United Kingdom (UK). Source of the epidemic Cause BSE in the brain affects the brain and spinal cord of cattle. Lesions are characterized by sponge-like changes visible with an ordinary microscope.
