Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Frontotemporal dementia is a neurocognitive disease which affects language, behavior, or executive functioning. This disease includes a spectrum of presentations which includes multiple variants. The phenocopy syndrome of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia is one which mimics the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia. Patients with this condition show a decline in personality, social conduct and cognitive ability but often display no signs of neurological imaging and exhibit slow progression. This case focuses on a now 70-year-old male who has shown signs of behavioral changes with a slowly progressive clinical course and minimal findings on PET scan, but moderate changes seen on …

The Role Of Food Accessibility In Weight Loss In A Rat Model Of Parkinson’S Disease, Anjali Kikkisetti, Nicole Charles, Francois Gould
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms. The goal of this project was to understand whether the weight loss seen with Parkinson’s disease was due to the lack of being able to access the food because of the food placement or because of inability to chew the food due to degeneration of muscles required for chewing food. Both treatment groups, Adjusted Diet and Unadjusted Diet, lost weight after injections started, whereas control weights were stable throughout the experiment. There is no statistically significant difference in weight loss between adjusted and unadjusted …

MEDI 9331 Scholarly Activities Clinical Years
Introduction: Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) are catastrophic injury to spinal neurons that cause a tremendous socioeconomic and public health burden on individuals globally. The role of fatty acids in treatment of SCI is not well understood and poorly standardized across treatment provision. This review seeks to explore the role of fatty acids in neurorecovery and propose emerging themes in SCI treatment with fatty acids.
Methods: A PICO was designed and online databases were searched for relevant articles. A total of 55 studies were deemed appropriate for the review and summarized into thematic elements including ) Cellular Transport 2) Neuroprotection 3) …
