    Extractions: Thomas Grabowski, MD In order to apply activation studies using positron emission tomography (P.E.T.) to the study of patients with neurological conditions such as stroke or dementia, it is desirable to .measure reliably the physiological correlates of defective task performance in normals and in patients with neuropathologic conditions which neither interfere with local vascular regulation nor cause global cognitive deficits. Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) affords the opportunity to define these correlates, since its pathology does not break down the coupling of regional cerebral blood flow (RCBF) to synaptic activity, nor does it leadto-impairments in attention, motivation and reasoning. Therefore, activation maps obtained using the [ O]water for language tasks in PPA will help to interpret activation studies of other diseases affecting cognition. We propose to employ modified versions of two language tasks which we have investigated in young normal subjects: verb generation and picture naming. Progressive aphasics will be studied longitudinally, with three MRI and three P.E.T. scans at one-year intervals. Elderly normal controls will be studied in a single session using the same tasks and also under experimental conditions designed to induce errors in task performance. Image analysis will be performed in the Human Neuroanatomy and Neuroimaging Laboratory using local software (PET-BRAINVOX) which supports both anatomically- based and standard pixel-based analyses.

    Extractions: Primaire Progressieve Afasie Wat is afasie? Zoals al onze lezers weten, is afasie een taalstoornis, waarbij mensen van het ene op het andere moment moeite hebben met spreken, begrijpen, lezen en/of schrijven. Afasie is altijd het gevolg van hersenletsel, meestal een CVA (Cerebro Vasculair Accident, een beroerte) of een trauma. De gevolgen van afasie verschillen van persoon tot persoon - vaak wordt nog wel enige verbetering bereikt door logopedische behandeling. Wat is Primaire Progressieve Afasie (PPA)? Bestaat er hulp voor mensen met PPA? Waar vind ik meer informatie over PPA? Mensen die het Engels goed beheersen en toegang hebben tot het Internet, kunnen een kijkje nemen op de site van de National Aphasia Association ( www.aphasia.org ) U kunt zich ook abonneren op de PPA-newsletter (ook in het Engels): wie beschikt over een Internetaansluiting gaat naar www.brain.nwu.edu/core/ppa.htm ; anderen kunnen contact opnemen met het Northwestern Alzheimers' Disease Center PPA News, 320 E.

    Extractions: How do I attend Aphasia Center of California programs? The first step in being admitted into our programs is to call the Aphasia Center of California at (510) 336-0112. During this phone call, we will gather information including relevant medical history and the current severity and type of aphasia. We will also determine which of our treatments or classes are of most interest to the person with aphasia. An appointment will then be made for an initial visit to our program. I have a family member with aphasia who lives outside of the Northern California area. Can we come to the Aphasia Center of California for a few months of treatment? The Aphasia Center of California's community based programs are designed to provide long term treatment and support for all those affected by aphasia. We recommend that individuals who attend our programs live nearby for at least a 4 month time period so that they can experience the benefit of group communication treatment. How long can I continue to make progress following my stroke?

    Extractions: In deciding on a topic for my research paper I wanted to pick something that I was personally interested in. I have a class where we discuss neurogenic disorders such as aphasia. This is a class I enjoy alot and I am very intrigued with the things we have learned about aphasia. As a focus for my research I chose to investigate a particular type of aphasia that I knew little about. While I have some knowledge about the disorder of aphasia, I have little understanding about a type of aphasia, called primary progressive aphasia (PPA). My specific interests were to learn how the disorders of aphasia and PPA differ, how they are alike, and what role the speech language pathologist might play when treating patients with PPA. Just as the amount of time for each stage may vary so can the effects of PPA on language. The patient may have naming difficulties, for example the patient may not be able to name something they use everyday like a toothbrush. They may substitute the wrong word, for example they may ask for a cup when they want a plate ("What is PPA?", 1996). Since the initial symptoms of PPA are similar to those of aphasia the patient could benefit from some of the same types of speech therapy (Cress,1999). I then decided to look at what role the SLP played in the rehabilitation of PPA. It was very hard to find any information specifically on therapy for PPA so I looked at what the role of the SLP is in the therapy of persion with aphasia in general. The rehabilitation of the person with aphasia involves several professions but the entire team looks to the SLP to learn the best ways of communication with the patient. They also provide the best means of communicating so the patient can express his/her basic needs. The SLP also helps the family of the patient deal with the disorder. The SLP will assist them in learning about the disorder and ways to communicated with the patient (Wallace, 1999).

    Extractions: Received: 19 August 1996 Accepted: 9 September 1996 Abstract Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) presents with aphasia, with or without other minor cognitive dysfunction. We report five patients with PPA to show the correlation between their clinical signs and imaging findings. The patients can be divided into those with nonfluent (group 1) and those with fluent (group 2) aphasia. The characteristic speech impairment was bradylalia in group 1 and word amnesia in group 2. Impairment of comprehension was common but mild in both groups. On MRI, patients in group 1 showed predominantly left frontal and perisylvian atrophy with reduced uptake in the same region on single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using technetium-99m hexamethyl propyleneamine oxime ( Tc HMPAO). Patients in group 2 showed left temporal atrophy involving the superior, middle and inferior temporal gyri, hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus on MRI and reduced uptake in the same region on SPECT. These findings correlated well with the functional anatomy of speech impairment.

    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: dementia lacking distinctive histopathology, frontal lobe degeneration, frontal lobe dementia, frontotemporal dementia, frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17, primary progressive aphasia, progressive subcortical gliosis Background: Pick disease (named after Arnold Pick) is a progressive dementia defined by clinical and pathologic criteria. Unlike Alzheimer disease and other dementias that present with cognitive deficits localized to the posterior (parietal) cortex, Pick disease typically affects the frontal and/or temporal lobes. First described in 1892, with the defining pathologic characteristics first reported by Alois Alzheimer in 1911, Pick disease now is considered by some to be part of a "complex" of neurodegenerative disorders with similar or related histopathologic and clinical features (Kertesz, 1994; Kertesz, 1997). Nomenclature history Frontotemporal dementia (of which Pick disease is an example) is a broader term including Pick disease. Frontal lobe dementia is a term signifying neuropsychological features localizing to the frontal lobes. Clinically, Pick disease may be identical or very similar to "frontal lobe degeneration" (Miller, 1997).

    Extractions: Michel.Habib@UMontreal.CA Keywords defining the teaching and/or research interests: Main research themes Description of research programming As a guest professor in the Research Centre of the Institut, I would like to focus my research on the specific theme of cerebral plasticity in the elderly subject suffering from degenerative pathology, specifically primary progressive aphasia. My project is entitled: "Cerebral plasticity and functional recovery in cortical degeneration: a model of phonological training in primary progressive aphasia." The goal of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of intensive training of phonological processes in this disorder and to explore the neurobiological bases for this effectiveness using functional imagery. The challenge in this field of research is clearly fundamental, since the goal is to gain a better understanding of the potential for recovery of a brain that is affected by a neurodegenerative disorder. Moreover, we cannot ignore the medical and economic stakes involved in this research, given the persistent questions surrounding the effectiveness, and hence the justification, for the cognitive management of dementias.
