A UK resident dying from the human form of mad cow disease, will be the first in the history of medicine who will offer a new experimental treatment. He will have a chance to win over an incurable disease.
A UK resident whose name was not called, will be the first patient in the world to receive a new kind of treatment for the disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is the human form of mad cow disease. The permit is issued by the special court. Note that until recently in a science did not exist any form of treatment of this disease, and all used drugs is purely symptomatic. Magicforum recalls that the disease is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rapid dementia that usually develops over one to two years and is accompanied by paralysis. The disease steadily progresses rapidly, causing his victim to death.
Scientists from the Department for the study of prions at University College London spent 20 years working on synthetic antibodies called PRN100, now used as an experimental treatment. The efficiency of this method has not been proven, but as the disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease develops rapidly, the patient from Britain gave its consent to become a participant in this experiment. It is fair to assume that for him to lose anything, especially since the doctors allowed him no more than 6-8 weeks of life.
About the patient we only know that he is married and happens to hail from the East of England. At present, dementia has largely broken the thinking of this man and his ability to make appropriate decisions, so that their good treatment was given by the relatives. (READ MORE)
