Language training for oral and written naming impairment in primary progressive aphasia: a review
TLDR
Overall, language training is able to induce immediate improvements of naming abilities in all variants of PPA and one factor that determines the choice of a particular approach is the compromised components of the lexical/semantic processing system.
Dysgraphia in primary progressive aphasia: Characterisation of impairments and therapy options
Background: Spelling impairment is common in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Although behavioural interventions tend to focus on spoken language, remediation of written language may be desirable,…
Primary progressive aphasia: a clinical approach
TLDR
A clinical approach to the progressive aphasias is presented, based on the experience of these disorders and directed at non-specialists, and a prospect for future progress is concluded, emphasising generic information processing deficits and novel pathophysiological biomarkers.
Language impairment in primary progressive aphasia and other neurodegenerative diseases
TLDR
The relationship between PPA and NDDs like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s and Dyslexia is unraveled and an exhaustive approach towards the treatment of PPA is offered by combining the existing language therapies with clinical and pharmacological interventions.
Dysfunctional visual word form processing in progressive alexia.
TLDR
The results suggest that progressive alexia is associated with a dysfunctional visual word form system, with or without substantial cortical atrophy, and demonstrate that functional MRI has the potential to reveal the neural bases of cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative patients at very early stages.
Mechanisms of auditory signal decoding in the progressive aphasias
The primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are a diverse group of neurodegenerative disorders that selectively target brain networks mediating language. The pathophysiology of PPA remains poorly…
Dorsal and ventral visual stream contributions to preserved reading ability in patients with central alexia
Cognitive rehabilitation, self-management, psychotherapeutic and caregiver support interventions in progressive neurodegenerative conditions: A scoping review.
TLDR
The limited range of studies for all conditions except MS suggests a need to synthesise systematically the available evidence across conditions and develop well-designed studies to provide evidence about the effectiveness of CR and other psychological interventions.
Alteraciones de la lectura en un caso de afasia primaria progresiva no fluente
Resumen: Este trabajo estudio la comprension de la lectura de palabras en un paciente con afasia primaria progresiva no fluente y trastornos concomitantes en la lectura. Se controlo la frecuencia…
Sensitivity of Speech Output to Delayed Auditory Feedback in Primary Progressive Aphasias
TLDR
This work suggests that DAF may be an informative probe of pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning primary progressive aphasia: identification of “DAF responders” may open up an avenue to novel therapeutic applications.

Deep Dysphasic Performance in Non-fluent Progressive Aphasia: a Case Study
TLDR
It is found that a patient (PW) with non-fluent progressive aphasia was impaired on a variety of verbal tasks that demand access to phonological representations and made semantic paraphasias and that her performance was influenced by imageability and lexical status.
Do deep dyslexia, dysphasia and dysgraphia share a common phonological impairment?
Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Review
TLDR
It is concluded that there is sufficiently consistent and converging evidence from clinical and imaging studies to support the claim that PNFA and SD are distinct subgroups of PPA, but there does not appear to be sufficient evidence at this point to support further discrimination within these progressive aphasic subgroups.
An Overview on Primary Progressive Aphasia and Its Variants
TLDR
The neuropsychological data demonstrated that SD patients show the most characteristic pattern of impairment, while PNFA and LPA overlap within many cognitive domains, and the neuroimaging analysis showed left perisylvian region involvement.
Diagnosis and rehabilitation attempt of a patient with acquired deep dyslexia
Modality-Specific Deterioration in Naming Verbs in Nonfluent Primary Progressive Aphasia
TLDR
The results provide a new source of evidence for the hypothesis that there are distinct neural mechanisms for accessing lexical representations of nouns and verbs in language production and rule out a semantic locus for the grammatical class effects.
Cognition and anatomy in three variants of primary progressive aphasia
TLDR
Cognitive, genetic, and anatomical features indicate that different PPA clinical variants may correspond to different underlying pathological processes.
Primary progressive aphasia: clinicopathological correlations
  • M. Grossman
  • Psychology, Medicine

  • 2010
TLDR
Clinopathological correlations in PPA suggest an association between a specific PPA variant and an underlying pathology, although many cases of PPA are associated with an unexpected pathology.
Measuring dysgraphia: a graded-difficulty spelling test.
TLDR
The construction of a graded-difficulty spelling test for adults consisting of two alternative forms each containing 30 words (GDST, Forms A and B) argues against a single site for this type of dysgraphia and argues for further refinement of this classified spelling disorder.
Treatment of reading impairment after stroke
TLDR
The classification of acquired alexia and the current theory and practice underlying the rehabilitation of this diverse set of disorders are focused on.
