Analyzes show that Edir Jover had a disease that was still little known to medicine: chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
a The recent work of a major idol of Brazilian sports has helped science search for information about a still unknown disease.
Footage of Eder Joffer’s last major victory was captured away from the rings and six months after the former boxer’s death.
World champion in two different categories and celebrated as an international sporting star, Eder left us in October last year, at the age of 86. The family, in response to a request from the former athlete, donated his brain for research and what USP scientists discovered could help many people.because the diagnostic hypothesis received by him in life was confirmed in the analyzes.
Eder was in fact afflicted with a disease about which medicine still knows very little: chronic traumatic encephalopathy, with symptoms such as memory loss and limitation of motor functions. It happens because in a head-on collision the brain vibrates in the cranial box, and in this coming-and-go state, neurons are torn apart and end up leaving a trail of destruction.
This residue from the effects is called the tau protein. Over the years, the substance accumulates in certain areas. They are dark spots that appear in microscopic analysis of Idir Joffre’s brain.
In the investigations, it was possible to establish that encephalopathy develops more slowly than other diseases that are usually confused in medical offices, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
“You say to the family: Look, you have to prepare not for 10 years of development, but maybe for 15, 20 or 30. Idir Joffre had 20 years of development since the first symptoms,” neurologist Renato Anghina explains.
There is no cure for CTE, but with a better understanding of the disease’s progression, it is possible to consider more effective forms of treatment.. Moreover, collisions to the head are now common in many sports and are also present in the daily lives of many people.
“Blow to the head, repetitive trauma, it’s not just athletes who suffer. There are many professions that lead to this and not just that. In a way, let’s put it this way, sad to say, even unfortunate, there are people who suffer from Domestic violence Information and the legacy that Eder Jover leaves, not only for athletes, but also for society as a whole “, confirms Renato.
