Elevated cerebrospinal fluid total Tau levels reflects predominant cortical involvement in Alzheimers disease (P1.093)
Conclusions:Elevated CSF Tau levels in AD patients could be surrogate biomarker for AD subtypes with predominant early cortical symptoms and atrophy. There is a need for a systematic prospective unbiased follow-up to see if rapid clinical progression in AD is related to elevated T-Tau and distinct AD subtypes.Disclosure: Dr. Pillai has nothing to disclose.

Predictive Variables of Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients with Lupus (P1.340)
Conclusions:Duration of disease and low educational level are predictors of CD in patients with SLE. Depression and anxiety did not influence cognitive performance. Although cardiovascular comorbidity is a risk factor for dementia in general population, those variables might play a minor role in SLE patients.Study Supported by:Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) (grant #2015/08833-7) supported this study.Disclosure: Dr. Alessi has nothing to disclose.

Historical Perspective of Cambodian Medicine with a focus on Neurology (P2.051)
Conclusions:The Keck School of Medicine of USC received a grant from World Federation of Neurology, which allowed faculty to travel to Cambodia and teach the clinical and diagnostic aspects of neurology over the course of two years. We expect a neurology residency to start in 2017 to help the patient population that suffers from stroke, seizure disorders and various other types of neurological disorders.

Association between frequency of sleep medication use and brain morphology (P3.058)
Conclusions:This is the first study to examine the association between frequency of sleep medication use and brain morphology in a healthy group of older adults. Metabolic effects or a possible neurotoxicity could play a role to the observed associations.Study Supported by:NIH R01AG038465-02NIH R01AG026158-07Research programs of excellence IKY/SIEMENS for Angeliki Tsapanou, Nikolao ScarmeaDisclosure: Dr. Tsapanou has nothing to disclose.

HELIAD study: Dementia prevalence in Greece (P3.095)
Conclusions:The prevalence of dementia and its subtypes in Greece is similar or at the lower range of that reported in many other European countries and globally. In our sample, increased age and decreased level of education status, but not gender, were predictive of a diagnosis of dementia with age being the strongest predictive factor.Study Supported by:Funding/Support: IIRG-09-133014 from the Alzheimer’s Association; 189 10276/8/9/2011 from the ESPA-EU program Excellence Grant (ARISTEIA) which is co-funded by the European Social Fund and Greek National resources; and Y2β/o.51657/14.4.2009 from the Ministry fo...

Going Global in Neurology: An Innovative Neurology Curriculum for Trainees in Resource-limited Settings (P3.325)
Conclusions:Developing countries remain in need of neurologists. Our results suggest that comfort level in diagnosing and managing neurological patients can be challenging. Attitude questions on neuromuscular disorders saw the widest range of responses, which may reflect knowledge questions on neuromuscular disorders seeing the lowest scores. Collaborative global health curricula are a means of bridging knowledge and resources to better health care in such areas. Such experiences are mutually beneficial as it encourages UMMS trainees to consider alternatives in practice in resource-limited settings.Disclosure: Dr. Kim has ...

Harmonizing Together: Speech and Music Therapy and Support for Patients and Partners with PPA (P5.157)
Conclusions:The reports of improvement in caregiver health, social participation of patients, and functional communication are in line with the group’s focus and goals. In contrast, more comprehensive knowledge of the disease process may have led patients and caregivers to experience greater feelings of guilt and fear. Our qualitative observations and reports from participants indicated that the most beneficial parts of the group were raising patients’ confidence in communication and allowing both patients and families suffering from PPA to connect with one another.Study Supported by:Funding NIH grant NS077059;...
