Decision-making Approach in Late-onset Bilateral Semantic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia with Coexisting Asymmetric Regional Amyloid Deposition

نویسندگان

چکیده

Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), a well-known subtype of the frontotemporal dementia often shows peculiar clinical features and structural neuroimage findings. To strengthen accuracy diagnosis, amyloid positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) might be helpful. However, in patients with late-onset svPPA, an admixture various neuropathology would interfere diagnostic approach. Herein, we report case bilateral svPPA showing regional deposition on PET-CT scan.

Decision Making Cognition in Primary Progressive Aphasia

We sought to investigate the decision making profile of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) by assessing patients diagnosed with this disease (n = 10), patients diagnosed with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD, n = 35), and matched controls (n = 14) using the Iowa Gambling Task, a widely used test that mimics real-life decision making. Participants were also evaluated with a compl...

Impaired Interoceptive Accuracy in Semantic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia

Background Interoception (the perception of internal bodily sensations) is strongly linked to emotional experience and sensitivity to the emotions of others in healthy subjects. Interoceptive impairment may contribute to the profound socioemotional symptoms that characterize frontotemporal dementia (FTD) syndromes, but remains poorly defined. Methods Patients representing all major FTD syndro...

Flortaucipir tau PET imaging in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia.

OBJECTIVE The semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is typically associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with longTAR DNA-binding protein (TDP)-43-positive neuropil threads and dystrophic neurites (type C), and is only rarely due to a primary tauopathy or Alzheimer's disease. We undertook this study to investigate the localisation and magnitude of the presumed...

Semantic Typicality Effects in Primary Progressive Aphasia.

Prototypical items within a semantic category are processed faster than atypical items within the same category. This typicality effect reflects normal representation and processing of semantic categories and when absent may be reflective of lexical-semantic deficits. We examined typicality effects in individuals with semantic and nonsemantic variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA; semant...
