Primary Progressive Aphasia and the Role of the Speech-Language Pathologist 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).

Bush seems to have taken this to the extreme early in his tenure as president. A humorous, fake resume for Bush suggests that he set the record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history . While we couldn't find the exact tally for Clinton's last year in office, it's reasonable to expect he didn't increase his vacation rate. And in barely three years in office, George W.

Otto # J. Wiltfang, G. Stoppe Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology # and Nuclear Medicine* Georg-August-University, (37075) Goettingen, Germany Objectives: Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a rare disorder, which has been shown to progress either to frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) or to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the majority of cases. In order to achieve early classification with differential therapeutic impact (e.g. AchE-Inhibitors or not), inves-tigation of CSF-proteins together with neuroimaging might be useful. There are no previous reports on this topic. Methods: Three patients (case 1: F, 71y, case 2: M, 51y, case 3: M, 45y) presented with typical symptoms of PPA, in cases 2 and 3 of non-fluent-type, confirmed by extended neuropsychological examinations. Neurological, psychiatric and clinical workup revealed no other pathology except for fasciculations, which developed after more than 3 years of pure PPA-symptoms. Family history was negative.

A P.E.T. Activation Study of Progressive Aphasia: Developing New Standards for Imaging Defective Cognition and Understanding Cerebral Disease Thomas Grabowski, MD 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.

IIAS Lecture Japan November 1998 "Semantic Dementia and the Progressive Aphasic Syndromes: Clinical and Neuroradiological Features" John R Hodges and Karalyn Patterson MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK Pick's disease, Progressive Aphasia and Semantic dementia 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
