Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease: Case-Based Conversations
In this clinical case series, experienced clinicians provide diagnostic insights into how they assessed people presenting with cognitive complaints - recognizing the variable presentation of early symptoms of AD.
Case-based conversation: early onset AD
Viewing time: 30 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Anton Porsteinsson
In this video, Dr. Porsteinsson reviews a case of familial early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, exploring how a strong genetic predisposition can be associated with an earlier AD onset.
Case-based conversation: Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia
Viewing time: 15 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Carmela Tartaglia
In this video, Dr. Tartaglia reviews a case of Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia, demonstrating how AD can have an atypical presentation.
Case-based conversation: Mild AD dementia with chronic comorbidities
Viewing time: 20 minutes
Speaker: Dr. James Galvin
In this video, Dr. Galvin reviews a case of mild AD dementia with chronic comorbidities, demonstrating how comorbidities can impact cognition and differential diagnosis.
Case-based conversation: Subjective cognitive decline
Viewing time: 31 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Anton Porsteinsson
In this video, Dr. Porsteinsson discusses a case with subjective cognitive decline. This case had self-reported concerns in cognition; however, objective tests conducted in clinic appeared normal.
Case-based conversation: Dementia with Lewy body disease and AD pathology
Viewing time: 25 minutes
Speaker: Dr. James Galvin
In this video, Dr. Galvin reviews a case where Lewy body disease, in addition to AD pathology, impacted the clinical syndrome, demonstrating the importance of biomarker investigations to gain a full clinical picture.
Case-based conversation: MCI due to AD
Viewing time: 17 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Oskar Hansson
In this video, Dr. Hansson reviews an MCI due to AD case with a typical amnestic syndrome.
Case-based conversation: mild AD dementia
Viewing time: 25 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Lawrence S. Honig
In this video, Dr. Honig reviews a case of mild AD dementia where the patient’s declining cognition begins to impact their everyday activities.
Case-based conversation: MCI due to AD
Viewing time: 25 minutes
Speaker: Dr. David Russell
In this video, Dr. Russell reviews a case of MCI due to AD where the patient’s underlying depression was a key factor in their differential diagnosis.
