Kuru (disease)
Kuru was a rare, incurable, and fatal Neurological disorder, neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term ''kúru'' means “trembling” and comes from the Fore language, Fore word ''kuria'' or ''guria'' ("to shake"). It is also known as "laughing sickness" due to abnormal bursts of laughter which occur. It was spread among the Fore people 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 eat the brain, where infectious prions were most concentrated, and therefore were more commonly affected. The outbreak likely started when a villager developed sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and died. When villagers ate the brain, they contracted the disease and t ...

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 the same year and repaired; the ship had suffered only minor damage. Some cabin structures were removed to improve the balance. She served until 1939. During the First World War, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
