How can 14-3-3 Protein Gamma test predict CJD risk?

Quantitation of received CSF sample for 14-3-3 Protein Gamma predicts Very high risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Please correlate clinically. This is one of the test result. How to treat this?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd Dec '24

The presence of increased 14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid may be an indicator of a significant risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder. Common symptoms include rapid cognitive decline, changes in personality, vision problems, and coordination issues. It is recommended that a neurologist be consulted for a full evaluation, as they can compare your clinical history and symptoms with the test results to better point you in the right direction. In the meantime, a cure does not exist, thus the only thing that will help is supportive care and symptom management. Please, first of all, make an appointment to discuss your case and to find different options for therapy.

I am a 43-year-old woman experiencing sleeplessness. I consulted a neurologist who gave me sleeping pills, but I wasn't interested in taking them. I tried setting a proper sleep schedule and reduced screen time, but there have been no improvements.

Female | 43

Setting a proper sleep schedule and reducing screen time are good steps, but sometimes additional help is needed. Since the neurologist's treatment didn't suit you, I recommend visiting a sleep specialist. They can provide personalized advice and alternative treatments to improve your sleep.

Why does my mind feel clear and I got tap water up my nose is my mind feeling clear a symptom of the brain eating amoeba?

Male | 15

Getting tap wate­r in your nose won't give you brain-eating amoe­ba. When water ente­rs through nostrils, it brings sensation of mental clarity due to te­mperature differe­nce. However, that amoe­ba is very uncommon, causing severe­ signs like intense he­adaches, fever, and disorie­ntation. Avoid letting water ente­r the nose, especially in warm fre­shwater regions. But fee­ling refreshed afte­r accidental nasal water entry doe­sn't indicate the presence­ of that frightening amoeba.

Hence it is important that anyone suspected as having MND must immediately consult a neurologist or an MND specialist for correct diagnosis and treatment.

I'm 27 years old and yesterday I had severe headache and had had a feeling of vomiting which I almost vomitted. Later took disprin and I was better.. Today I was feeling lil dizzy and was feeling hot for little bit of tim

Female | 27

You probably had a severe headache and nausea but now you are better due to Disprin. Today, you have a feeling of dizziness and fever-like symptoms. These could be the signs of a migraine. Migraines can make you experience headaches, vomiting, dizziness, and the like, having light or sound be a trigger. Do not forget to lay down, drink water, and stay away from stress and some foods to keep it from happening.

Inhaling gas, taking alcohol and some drugs can be dangerous especially when coupled with lack of sleep and food. Symptoms such as headache and shivering might mean that your body is stressed. Take a rest, eat well, and keep off harmful substances.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain stroke after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow today he got anger and eat food by himself without ask anyone after I ask him is any problem you in eat he said no problem and easy to eat . so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

It is quite predictable for a person who had a stroke for the second time to have trouble speaking and experiencing behavior changes. The good thing is that he ate without any problem which is a way forward. His improved swallowing ability is reflected in his independent eating skills. It's necessary to lay a good basis by cutting out soft foods and liquids to avoid choking. Let him carry out the process of swallowing without being rushed. It's recommended that a speech therapist or a healthcare provider be the one to provide him with a diet plan that he must follow carefully.
