    Extractions: Although the term semantic dementia is recent, the syndrome has been recognised for many years. In 1892 Arnold Pick reported a patient with amnestic aphasia and left temporal lobe atrophy. Many other such patients were reported in the PickÕs disease literature of the early 20th century. Patients with "loss of word meaning" were also reported from Japan under the heading of "Gogi aphasia". In 1975 Warrington reported what she termed Òselective impairment of semantic memoryÓ and proposed that the combination of transcortical aphasia and associative agnosia observed in three patients with cortical atrophy reflected a fundamental loss of semantic memory about the items which thereby affected naming, word comprehension, and object recognition. Semantic memory is the term applied to the component of long-term memory which contains the permanent representation of our knowledge about things in the world and their inter-relationship, facts and concepts as well as words and their meaning. Mesulam's 1982 paper rekindled neurological interest in the focal dementias when he reported clinical syndrome of "slowly progressive aphasia without generalised dementia" in six patients with a 5 to 10 year history of insidiously worsening aphasia in the absence of signs of more generalised cognitive failure. Since 1982 there have now been over 40 papers reporting some 100 patients who fulfil the criteria for progressive aphasia. Although the language deficits seen in such patients are heterogeneous, two broad groups can be identified: progressive fluent aphasia with features corresponding to those reported above (which we prefer to call semantic dementia) and progressive non-fluent aphasia in which there is selective breakdown in the phonological and syntactic aspects of language. The latter syndrome will not be discussed further here

In some patients with primary progressive aphasia, the ability to write language may be less impaired than the ability to speak it. Others develop agrammatism, using inappropriate word order and misusing word endings, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions and verb tenses.

    Extractions: Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a new label for clinical Pick's disease (PiD) because the eponymic term is increasingly restricted to the pathologic finding of Pick bodies. This restriction created the impression that PiD is rare and that it is difficult to diagnose. FTD is also a term most often used for behavioral and personality alterations. Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), formerly the extrapyramidal variety of PiD, are also part of the syndrome. Recently, chromosome 17 localization and tau mutations were discovered in familial forms of the disease. Review Summary: FTD consists of behavioral and personality changes, often beginning with apathy and disinterest, which may be mistaken for depression. Disinhibition and perseverative, compulsive behavior often appear at the same time. A quantifiable frontal behavioral inventory is useful in the diagnosis beyond a checklist. The second type of presentation is progressive language loss (PPA). A less common variety is semantic dementia; the meaning of nouns and objects is lost. As the disease progresses, all components tend to overlap. CBD and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), although described as distinct entities, show a great deal of clinical, pathologic, genetic, and biochemical overlap. The evidence suggests they also belong to the complex. The association of motor neuron disease (MND) with FTD and other varieties of the complex is also reviewed.

    Extractions: e-crown@northwestern.edu Aphasia Confused With Alzheimer’s CHICAGO— Alzheimer's disease is the single most common cause of dementia, a chronically progressive brain condition that impairs intellect and behavior to the point where customary activities of daily living become compromised. More than 4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. Its high prevalence may lead people to believe that dementia is always due to Alzheimer's disease and that memory loss is a feature of all dementias. However, an article by Feinberg School Alzheimer's disease expert M.-Marsel Mesulam, MD, Ruth and Evelyn Dunbar Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, professor of neurology, and director of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center, in the October 16 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reports that nearly a quarter of all dementias, especially those of presenile onset, may be caused by diseases other than Alzheimer's and that some of these so-called atypical dementias involve cognitive abnormalities in areas other than memory.

    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.
