Treatment for Lexical Retrieval in Primary Progressive Aphasia
: http://si p://pubs.as In recent years there has been an increase in research describing the behavioral characteristics and underlying pathology of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). One of the earliest and most prominent features of PPA, particularly for the logopenic and semantic variants, is anomia, and this is often the symptom that prompts individuals with PPA to seek treatment. However, ...
متن کاملWhite Matter Disease Correlates with Lexical Retrieval Deficits in Primary Progressive Aphasia
OBJECTIVE To relate fractional anisotropy (FA) changes associated with the semantic and logopenic variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) to measures of lexical retrieval. METHODS We collected neuropsychological testing, volumetric magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging on semantic variant PPA (svPPA) (n = 11) and logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA) (n = 13) patients diagn...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Verbal Episodic Memory and Lexical Retrieval in Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia
Objective: Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. But lvPPA patients display different cognitive and anatomical profile from the common clinical AD patients, whose verbal episodic memory is primarily affected. Reports of verbal episodic memory difficulty in lvPPA are inconsistent, and we hypothesized that their lexic...
متن کاملTreatment for lexical retrieval using abstract and concrete words in persons with aphasia: Effect of complexity.
BACKGROUND: The significance of imageability and concreteness as factors for lexical tasks in aphasic individuals is under debate. No previous treatment studies have looked specifically at training abstract words compared to concrete for improved lexical retrieval in patients with chronic aphasia. AIM: The goal of the present study was to determine the efficacy of a treatment for lexical retrie...
متن کاملSteroid treatment of primary progressive aphasia.
OBJECTIVE To learn if oral steroid treatment can alter the signs of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Many patients with PPA have had a vasectomy and there is a possible link between vasectomy and autoimmune diseases. If PPA is, at least in part, an autoimmune disease, patients might improve with immunosuppressant treatment. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Cognitive and memory clinic. PATIEN...
