MCI subtypes are heterogeneous and preceded by different risk factors: A study on aMCI and naMCI incidence (P4.194)
Conclusions:Results suggested that aMCI and naMCI are inherently heterogeneous from the outset, illustrated by their different risk factors. Recognizing indicators of MCI prior to clinical presentation is critical in targeted interventions, early treatment, and prevention from rapid progression to dementia.Study Supported by:NIA grant: AG03949Sylvia and Leonard Marx FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Zammit 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. Even though the past has had its rough patches, the future has untapped potential.Study Supported by: This study was supported by World Federation of Neurology.Disclosure: Dr. Singh has nothing to disclose.
