ABSTRACT Introduction Globally, there is a lack of awareness of rare dementias such as those led by language decline (the primary progressive aphasias, PPA). The main treatment for PPA is speech and language therapy, yet many people are unaware of the benefits and are often not referred on by other health care professionals.

ABSTRACT Background The recent approval of disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) for early Alzheimer's disease (AD) marks a major shift in clinical practice. Biomarker confirmation of amyloid pathology is now required alongside clinical assessment, and blood‐based tests are improving accessibility.

A decade with anomic primary progressive aphasia
Some patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) demonstrate only anomia. The lack of longitudinal observations of anomic PPA precluded us from determining whether progressive anomic aphasia was simply an early stage of semantic or logopenic variants,

Progranulin-associated PiB-negative logopenic primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) strongly associates with Alzheimer's disease, but can also associate with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We aimed to assess the frequency of lvPPA in patients with speech and language disorders without β-amyloid deposition, and to perform detailed neuroimaging and genetic testing in such ...

Deciphering logopenic primary progressive aphasia: a clinical, imaging and biomarker investigation.
International audienceWithin primary progressive aphasia the logopenic variant remains less understood than the two other main variants, namely semantic and non-fluent progressive aphasia.

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is classified into three variants, logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA), nonfluent agrammatic PPA (nfaPPA), and semantic variant PPA (svPPA), based on clinical (syndromic) characteristics with support from neuroimaging and/or ...

Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Social Communication Dysfunction in Primary Progressive Aphasia
Mounting evidence suggests that, in parallel with well-defined changes in language, primary progressive aphasia (PPA) syndromes display co-occurring social cognitive impairments.

Abstract INTRODUCTION The impact of different neuropathologies on deep brain structures remains to be understood. We examine subcortical and limbic volumetry in neurodegenerative diseases involving phosphorylated tau (p‐tau), α‐synuclein, and transactive response DNA binding protein 43 (TDP‐43).

A Middle-Aged Woman with Logopenic Progressive Aphasia as a Precursor of Alzheimer's Disease: Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
Primary progressive aphasia is a neurodegenerative disorder that was recently classified into three types: fluent (semantic), nonfluent, and logopenic.

Background: While primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) pathology due to tau or TDP, clinical-pathological studies also demonstrate many cases have Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.
