In this book, neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders are not understood as diseases but as generic terms embracing a number of neuropsychological syndromes. "This book will provide clinicians and researchers involved in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with dementia and neuropsychiatric disorder with a recommended test battery with empirically derived test inclusion sensitivities and an accompanying discussion regarding the differentiation of dementia and neuropsychiatric syndromes." Methodology is described in chapter two and chapter three describes in detail how the review was conducted.

My 79-year-old mother was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia three years ago. She has been taking Aricept since then. We have seen great degeneration in her ability to reason, comprehend and find a word that seems to be on the tip of her tongue. Is there any other help for her? How much benefit is Aricept for these symptoms? A. Aphasia is a difficulty with speech, either hearing the spoken word (receptive aphasia) or speaking itself. Aphasia can have many causes, from severe mental retardation, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or (as in your mother's case) there is sometimes no identifiable cause, and the person is diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia. The difficulty is making a definite diagnosis as to the type of aphasia a person has. Since Alzheimer's disease is a frequent cause of aphasia, and since Aricept is frequently helpful in patients with Alzheimer's disease, many patients with primary progressive aphasia will be given Aricept as a trial. So, in other words, the Aricept is used primarily with the hope that it is going to work, rather than with the knowledge that it is effective in primary progressive aphasia.

    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: frontotemporal dementia, frontal dementia, nonspecific dementia, Pick's disease, Pick disease, primary progressive aphasia, FTD, PPA Background: Cases of elderly patients with progressive language deterioration have been described since Arnold Pick's landmark case report of 1892. This case study, "On the relationship between aphasia and senile atrophy of the brain," still serves as a frame of reference for apparently focal brain syndromes in "diffuse" or "generalized" degenerative diseases of the brain. In 1982, Mesulam reported 6 patients with progressive aphasia, gradually worsening over a number of years, who did not develop a more generalized dementia. Since Mesulam's publication, numerous other cases have been reported. This disorder, which currently is termed "primary progressive aphasia" (PPA), has gained acceptance as a syndrome. Rarely, cases of isolated right frontal or temporal degeneration have been reported. These patients experience failure to recognize family members (prosopagnosia), failure to remember topographic relationships, and similar disorders. In England, cases of frontal lobe dementia have been described with progressive dysfunction of the frontal lobes. In a series of case reports, Neary and Snowden outlined a syndrome with initial symptoms that were suggestive of psychiatric illness. However, the following frontal lobe behavioral abnormalities appeared over time: disinhibition, impulsivity, impersistence, inertia, loss of social awareness, neglect of personal hygiene, mental rigidity, stereotyped behavior, and "utilization behavior" (ie, tendency to pick up and manipulate any object in the environment). These descriptions included language abnormalities such as reduced speech output, mutism, echolalia, and perseveration. Recently, the condition described in the North American literature as PPA and that described in the European literature as "frontal dementia" have been combined under the diagnosis "frontotemporal dementia" (FTD).

    Extractions: Email Research Summary My clinical research has focused on cognitive sequelae of stroke and stroke recovery, and the differential diagnosis and monitoring of dementia utilizing clinical, neuropsychological and neuroimaging measures. This has entailed large-group prospective studies with a longitudinal design and labour-intensive acquisition of complex, multidimensional databases. Recently, we have been mapping limbic system changes in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using MR morphometry and co-registered SPECT and quantifying cerebrovascular changes in vascular and Alzheimer's dementia using tissue classification techniques. Correlative quantitative neuroimaging provides insight into biological constraints operative in disease progression or recovery. Such information is important as new treatments come on line for stroke and dementia. I have participated in treatment trials for acute stroke and AD. I have also used experimental approaches aimed primarily at understanding mechanisms which underlie attentional disorders and apraxia in stroke and AD. Using both single-case and group-study designs, I have collaborated with experimental cognitive neuropsychologists to address theoretical issues in brain-behaviour relationships in relation to syndromes such as pure alexia, agraphia, neglect, global amnesia and retrograde amnesia.
