Early identification of degenerative dementia syndromes

随着人口的持续老龄化，越来越多的成年人将经历痴呆症的迹象。对于额颞叶痴呆的临床表现、发病机制和演变的了解，在65岁年龄组中与阿尔茨海默病一样常见，仍然是次要的。这项研究项目将结合临床研究和脑成像，以提高对本病的诊断准确性。这将带来更好的治疗和管理干预。

With the continuing ageing of the population, an increasing number of adults will experience signs of dementia. Knowledge of the clinical presentation, disease mechanisms and evolution of frontotemporal dementia, a syndrome as common as Alzheimer’s disease in the < 65 year-old group, remains suboptimal. This research project will combine clinical investigations and brain imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy of this disease. This will lead to better treatment and management interventions.
