There is a correlation between functional cell loss in the retina and signs of dementia in people who have a genetic risk for frontotemporal dementia (FTD), according to researchers from the US.doi:http://ophthalmologytimes.modernmedicine.com/node/395038R. Rajeck...
FTD tends to be more commonly seen in cases of early-onset dementia than dementia in individuals over age 65. It is usually caused by damage to neurons in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes. The causes of FTD are currently unknown. However, scientists believe it may be genetic in som...
(ftd), a form of dementia that affects a person’s ability to use or understand written or spoken language, the actor’s daughter, tallulah willis, is sharing her perspective on her father’s decline—including the symptoms that, in hindsight, were early signs of his condition. “i’ve ...
Last year, paxalisib was awarded Fast Track Designation (FTD) on the basis of the Part I clinical data by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of solid tumor brain metastases harboring PI3K pathway mutations in combination wi...
Other presentations of AD have been described, mainly involving executive function and behavior [32]. These phenotypes—which are sometimes referred to as frontal AD [33]—are challenging to diagnose because their presentation overlaps with the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) [34...
The FD changes in a cross-sectional cohort of patients with AD and front temporal dementia (FTD) were estimated, giving distinct that the cortical complexity relates to cognitive domains impairment44. In45, the authors used fractal analysis in MRI images to study the changes in the brain due ...
combining CSF Aβ42 and tau measures for the differential diagnosis of AD appears to mitigate some of the nonspecific biochemical characteristics of Aβ42, which is also reduced in Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, multiple system atrophy, Lewy body dementia (LBD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), vascular...

vascular dementia (VaD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and mixed non-AD. Those in the predementia phase are also assigned an underlying cause of either prodromal AD or nonprodromal AD, which could be any of the non-AD dementia listed above if the patient progress...
TBK1 LoF mutations have recently been identified as an important cause of FTD and ALS, with a notable tendency of carriers to display memory deficits early in the disease course. In addition, TBK1 is regarded extremely intolerant of LoF mutations according to the Exac database (pLI = 1) (Lek...
