The purpose for this research study is to learn more about PCD through the creation of a secure electronic clinical registry. Through this registry, researchers will be able to follow people living with PCD over time to learn more about how PCD affects people's health and the treatment people take.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both sporadic (not inherited), and familial (inherited), forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Patients include both those who have symptoms of FTLD and those who do not (yet have a family history involving FTLD). This is an observational study, meaning that there is no investigational treatment involved. We will be working with patients for up to a 5 year period to learn more about FTLD using a neurological exam, tests of memory, behavior, and judgement, MRI, and biospecimen collection (blood and/or CSF). This study involves genetic testing of the genes so far identified to be associated with FTLD. The overall goal is to help better understand FTLD, to better understand the genetics of FTLD, and to use the information we learn to guide improved patient care and potential drug development.

We are conducting a survey of nurse practitioners and physician's assistants that will assess their knowledge and attitudes regarding antibiotic prescribing and antibiotic resistance.
