The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | The early and mild phases, termed mild cognitive impairment (MCI), of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) have been poorly described. This cross-sectional care series was conducted via retrospective chart review in order to further delineate the MCI stage during progression to PPA. Nine cases of PPA with a secondary diagnosis of MCI were found, all of which had language as the primary domain affected. The most common deficits found were word finding difficulty (8 of 9 cases) and sentence repetition impairments (8 of 8 cases). Our results showed that there is an MCI stage of PPA, characterized by word finding difficulty on observation and sentence repetition on neurocognitive testing. Early mild cognitive impairment for PPA will have language as the primary domain affected either with or without an amnestic component. | |
