Potential Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease Transmission (BBC News / NHS Choices / Nature / MRC)
Summary There may be a theoretical risk of Alzheimer’s Disease being transmissible during surgical procedures, in the manner of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). This hypothesis has arisen as a result of the examination of the brains of eight patients who had … Continue reading
