Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is an atypical parkinsonian related to multiple underlying pathologies.To investigate if individual brain [18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) patterns could distinguish CBS due Alzheimer's disease (AD) from other pathologies based on [11 C]Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB)-PET.Forty-five patients with probable were prospectively evaluated regarding cognitive and movement disorders profile. They underwent FDG-PET distributed into groups:...

Introduction: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a progressive neurological disorder related to multiple underlying pathologies, including four-repeat tauopathies, such as corticobasal degeneration and supranuclear palsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD). Speech language are commonly impaired, encompassing broad spectrum of deficits. We aimed investigate CBS speech impairment patterns in light multimodal imaging approach. Materials Methods: Thirty-one patients with probable were prospectively evaluated...

Sentence-comprehension deficits have been described in patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). However, most instruments to address this domain more detail and a clinical context not adapted translated into several languages, posing limitations practice cross-language research.The study aimed (1) test the applicability of Brazilian version Test for Reception Grammar (TROG2-Br) detect morphosyntactic PPA; (2) investigate association between performance sociodemographic variables...

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is associated with diverse underlying pathologies, including the four-repeat (4R)-tauopathies. The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) proposed novel category "probable 4R-tauopathy" to address phenotypic overlap between PSP and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).

BACKGROUND The body of literature on oral motor and swallowing disorders in patients with ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is limited. CASE REPORT purpose this study was to characterize two siblings AT, based assessments. Specific procedures were applied for assessments both underwent videofluoroscopy (VFS). Case 1 presented vocal instability, change postural control during feeding; food retention cavity; slower transit time; multiple (signs solid liquid). 2 parted lips at rest reduced muscle...

The aim of this study was to characterize the oral discourse CBS patients and verify whether measures obtained during a semi-spontaneous speech production could differentiate from controls. A second goal compare performance with probably due Alzheimer’s disease (CBS-AD) pathology not related AD (CBS-non-AD) in same measures, based on brain metabolic status (FDG-PET) presence amyloid deposition (amyloid-PET). Results showed that were significantly different controls rate, lexical level,...

Several approaches to the rehabilitation of agrammatism use implicit and explicit learning methods.To verify effect adapted Mapping Therapy ORLA methods (explicit versus learning) on oral written production in spontaneous language among agrammatic patients with Broca's aphasia.Six individuals were submitted (Oral Reading for Language Aphasia) treatments. Samples from a picture description task compared pre post-treatment.In Therapy, presented better performance after training variables...

Abstract Background Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS) is a neurodegenerative disease which phenotype related to multiple pathologies, including 4‐repeat tauopathies ‐ Degeneration (CBD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) Alzheimer’s (AD). Previous works with post‐mortem analysis established [ 18 F]FDG‐PET patterns closely CBD, PSP or AD pathology. Methods Forty patients probable CBS were evaluated concerning their movement disorders cognition. They underwent F]FDG‐PET/CT and, according brain...

Abstract Background The COVID‐19 pandemic is accelerating the use of telemedicine in management chronic neurological diseases. However, studies on feasibility assessing language and cognition are still scarce, especially developing countries which education very heterogeneous. This pilot study evaluated using for linguistic‐cognitive assessment, by comparing performance healthy adults face‐to‐face online assessments a Brazilian sample. We also verified influence age two assessment forms....
