Question 5

what is the prognosis for someone with jacobs syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Cannot Predict: There are too few cases of jacobs syndrome to make any prognostic judgments.

Severe cases also develop inflammation of the muscle surrounding the heart (pericarditis) which causes the greatest risk for life-threatening medical issues.

Question 6

creutzfeldt-jacob disease is biologically caused?

Accepted Answer

No: Caused by a small infectious particle called a prion.

Question 7

what sort of disease is creutzfeldt-jacob disease (c.j.d.)?

Accepted Answer

Fatal: Cjd is a uniformly fatal neurological disorder.  It is among a group of unique diseases that behave like infectious illnesses but are caused by misfolded proteins, not microbes.  The two common varieties affecting human are classical cjd and variant cjd (mad cow disease).  There are similar diseases in animals also.

Question 8

can jacob's biscuit make you fat? maybe be if i consumed 4-6 a days.

Accepted Answer

Nutrition: These items contain 34 calories per biscuit.  Whether they would cause weight gain depends how many were eaten a day, and how many calories from other sources were eaten as well.  Any food can make you gain weight if you eat too much of it, and any food can be just fine if it is eaten in concert with a nutritionally balanced diet.

Question 9

am i at risk to get creutzfeldt-jacob disease?  is everybody at risk?

Accepted Answer

Very rare.: Having a family history does put you at higher risk, so does having multiple surgical procedures (corneal transplants, liver transplants), and residing on a farm for more than 10 years.  With all those factors combined, the risk is still very very low for people to get cjd.  Unless you have the familial variant in your family, then i wouldn't worry about it.  You're more likely to win lottery.

Question 10

transmission of creutzfeldt-jacob disease (cjd) has been proven between family members?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Transmission in the sense of exposure to the prion protein is not more likely between family members than the general population. However, there are familial, i.e., genetic, forms of cjd that can be inherited.
