Aphasia Center Of California My family member was recently diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia. primary progressive aphasia (PPA) differs from aphasia following stroke. http://www.employees.org/~accadmin/answers.html
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: Objective: To evaluate the construct validity of the Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) and to describe the evolution of the behavioral abnormalities of the behavioral and aphasic presentations of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) by means of a 3-year longitudinal study. Background: The FBI is a standardized behavioral questionnaire useful in the diagnosis and quantification of the personality and behavior disorder FTD. Method: Patients who had three consecutive yearly assessments with the FBI were selected, 12 with the behavioral variant of FTD (FTD-bv) and 14 with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). Results: FBI scores rose as the disease progressed in both the FTD-bv and PPA groups over the 3 years of testing. Initial mean FBI scores of the FTD-bv group were above the cutoff for FTD as established for this diagnosis with previous standardization. By the third year, the mean FBI score of PPA patients was also above the established cutoff for FTD. Conclusions: The outcome of the study demonstrates that the FBI is sensitive to changes in behavior and personality in both variants of FTD. The FBI can be used to describe the evolution of symptoms and the course of the illness of Pick complex patients who present initially with FTD-bv or who present with PPA and subsequently develop the behavioral disorder.

Pick's Disease Fact Sheet In primary progressive aphasia, the disease starts in an area at the back of thefrontal lobes and front of the temporal lobes. What are the Symptoms? http://www.angelfire.com/ia/dougkeck/picksinfo.html
Extractions: Many doctors now prefer to reserve the name "Pick's" for just one of the types of changes in the brain tissue (histology) that may be seen with the disease. You may come across several different names which are explained below: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, frontotemporal dementia, semantic dementia and primary progressive aphasia. Many doctors now prefer this name for the disease. Patients who would have previously been told they had Pick's Disease may now be told they have frontotemporal lobar degeneration. The name refers to the parts of the brain that are affected: the frontal and temporal lobes (at the front and side of the brain respectively).

He graduated from Queen's University at Kingston Ontario with a Bachelor of Science degree in Life Sciences. He completed his graduate work in speech-language pathology at the University of Toronto and his doctoral education at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He completed a post-doctoral research fellowship from the R. Samuel McLaughlin Centre for Gerontological Health Research at McMaster University at Hamilton Ontario. During his post-doctoral fellowship he completed several studies on the communication and discourse of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. His peer-reviewed publications and funded research address language and cognitive-communication disorders of adults and older adults. His research has a special emphasis on discourse, conversation, and pragmatic analyses of individuals with various forms of dementia. Current research projects include the analyses of language, discourse, conversation, and pragmatics of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, frontal lobe dementia, and primary progressive aphasia. Other on-going studies include communication enhancement education and training programs for caregivers of individuals with dementia.

Extractions: He resigned from the dean's position yesterday after six years because of a neuro-degenerative disorder called primary progressive aphasia. Cadman explained his condition in an emotional appearance before the University of Hawaii Board of Regents. "I cannot talk clearly but I remember everything," Cadman told the regents. He said he has been blessed the past few months "with the outpouring of support not only by my friends, but by strangers as well. I want to thank them all for their cards, letters, e-mails and prayers. I want to especially thank the students, faculty and staff of the medical school who were so kind to me." Cadman's disorder, previously undisclosed, is a form of dementia that interferes with verbal expression and language comprehension. People do not lose their memory with aphasia as they do with Alzheimer's, the more common form of dementia, but they have language dysfunction, said Dr. Cherylee Chang, neurologist and medical director of the Queen's Medical Center's Neuroscience Institute. There is no effective treatment.

We present three cases of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) with Pick- variant pathology to support a hypothesis of an underlying nosologic relatedness. Neuropathologic examination demonstrated focal brain atrophy with corresponding neuronal loss and gliosis, accompanied by superficial spongiosis.
