Parkinson Disease-Associated Cognitive Impairment
PRIMER Parkinson disease-associated cognitive impairment Dag Aarsland 1,2 ✉ , Lucia Batzu 3, Glenda M. Halliday 4, Gert J. Geurtsen 5, Clive Ballard 6, K. Ray Chaudhuri 3 and Daniel Weintraub7,8 Abstract | Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting >1% of the population ≥65 years of age and with a prevalence set to double by 2030. In addition to the defining motor symptoms of PD, multiple non-motor symptoms occur; among them, cognitive impairment is common and can potentially occur at any disease stage. Cognitive decline is usually slow and insidious, but rapid in some cases. Recently, the focus has been on the early cognitive changes, where executive and visuospatial impairments are typical and can be accompanied by memory impairment, increasing the risk for early progression to dementia. Other risk factors for early progression to dementia include visual hallucinations, older age and biomarker changes such as cortical atrophy, as well as Alzheimer-type changes on functional imaging and in cerebrospinal fluid, and slowing and frequency variation on EEG. However, the mechanisms underlying cognitive decline in PD remain largely unclear. Cortical involvement of Lewy body and Alzheimer-type pathologies are key features, but multiple mechanisms are likely involved. Cholinesterase inhibition is the only high-level evidence-based treatment available, but other pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies are being tested. Challenges include the identification of disease-modifying therapies as well as finding biomarkers to better predict cognitive decline and identify patients at high risk for early and rapid cognitive impairment. Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common movement The full spectrum of cognitive impairment occurs in disorder and the second most common neurodegenera individuals with PD, from subjective cognitive decline tive disorder after Alzheimer disease (AD). -

Building Century City Lusk Seminar Paper
DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE OR CITE WITHOUT AUTHOR’S PERMISSION Creating Century City: Twentieth Century Fox and Urban Development in West Los Angeles, 1920-1975 Stephanie Frank Ph.D. Candidate, School of Policy, Planning, and Development, USC [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Fox Film Corporation, which later merged with Twentieth Century Pictures, purchased land in the undeveloped urban fringe of Los Angeles now known as West Los Angeles in 1923 in order to expand its operations from its plant in Hollywood. While there was virtually no other development in the vicinity, real estate companies, primarily the Janss Investment Company who sold Fox its land, subdivided the area surrounding the studio for single-family homes. No Sanborn Fire Insurance Map was created for the area until 1932, four years after Fox had built its studio. Other maps indicate the area remained relatively sparsely developed until the postwar period. By the time Fox decided to redevelop, and eventually to sell for redevelopment, its 280- acre property in the late 1950s, the surrounding area was completely developed. On Fox’s former backlot rose Century City, a master-planned Corbusian-inspired node of commercial, residential, and cultural activities in large-tower superblocks. This “city within a city” was a paradigm of 1960s planning that reinforced Los Angeles’s polycentric structure and remains an important economic center today. In the age of federally-funded urban renewal projects that wiped out the inner cores of cities across the country, including Los Angeles’s Bunker Hill, Century City was the largest privately-financed urban development in the country to that point in time. -
