Kuru (disease)
Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal Neurological disorder, neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is a form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) caused by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins (prions), which leads to symptoms such as tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kuru derives from the Fore language, Fore word ''kuria'' or ''guria'' ("to shake"), due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease. ''Kúru'' itself means "trembling". It is also known as the "laughing sickness" due to the pathologic bursts of laughter which are a symptom of the disease. It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via Endocannibalism, funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead. Women and children usually consumed the ...

SS Kuru
SS ''Kuru'' was a steam ship which sank on 7 September 1929 in the lake Näsijärvi, in Tampere, Finland. The sinking is still the most severe maritime disaster in Finnish lakes or rivers. It led to the loss of 136 lives, according to the passenger counts and the officers; most sources frequently list the death toll as 138. There were 150 passengers and 12 crew members. One of the drowned was the Member of the Parliament Ida Vihuri. The ship capsized due to heavy wind – 8 Beauforts (), and there were some claims of up to 11.5 Beauforts. The capsizing was mostly due to an overly-high centre of gravity; in 1927, a third deck level had been added without expert help or inspecting the balance of the ship. The big waves brought water onto the deck, and the water couldn't flow away. The wreck was raised in the same year and repaired; the ship had suffered only minor damage. Some cabin structures were removed to improve the balance. She served in use until 1939. During the First Wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kuru Kulla
''Kuru'' (after Kurukullā, a Tibetan Buddhist deity) is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod from the Late Cretaceous Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia. The genus contains a single species, ''Kuru kulla'', known from a fragmentary skeleton including a partial skull. Discovery and naming The holotype of ''Kuru kulla'', IGM 100/981, was discovered by an American-Mongolian expedition at Khulsan in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, on 5 July 1991, only hours before the discovery of ''Shri devi''. The following year, it was reported as a distinct dromaeosaurid taxon at an Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, SVP conference in Toronto. In their paper describing the dromaeosaurid ''Achillobator'', Perle ''et al.''
