The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) has previously been validated in diseases associated with a frontal lobe dysfunction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity of the FAB to differentiate FTD and AD. DESIGN Comparison ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the INECO Frontal Screening and the Frontal Assessment Battery in Peruvian patients with Alzheimer's disease and behavioral variant Frontotemporal dementia
Background The physicians often confuse the early symptoms of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with Alzheimer dementia (AD), leading to misdiagnosis. There are some cognitive tests to discriminate between AD and behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD), and the INECO Frontal Screening (IFS) is a promising test for this purpose.

متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid and -amyloid(1-42) in dementia disorders
The reliability of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)and CSF-amyloid assays for diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementing disorders such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is reviewed. CSF assessment of the two proteins is useful in early diagnosis of AD and to differentiate it from FTD and DLB. Extremely high CSFlevels can di...
متن کاملA brief cognitive test battery to differentiate Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.
OBJECTIVES To validate a simple bedside test battery designed to detect mild dementia and differentiate AD from frontotemporal dementia (FTD). METHODS Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE) is a 100-point test battery that assesses six cognitive domains. Of 210 new patients attending a memory clinic, 139 fulfilled inclusion criteria and comprised dementia (n = 115) and nondementia (n = 24)...
