DD Explanation: I think the doctor might have used the English abbreviation for Dissociative Disorder. It could also be "Dépersonnalisation et Dérealisation", one of the dissociative disorders. In any case, I'd keep DD. |

DD (differential diagnosis) Explanation: The expression DD avec dépression can be found here — http://www.palliative-vs.ch/docs/formation/fr/ECA_Palliative... (DD avec dépression et démence in full)—, but without any expansion. The article is entitled Etat confusionnel Comment le détecter, le gérer et accompagner les proches. It explains (for some reason!) that état confusionnelle or ECA is 'delirium' in English. Maybe this is a pointer to DD subsequently being in English... We certainly find DD in English meaning 'delirious-demented' or 'delirium in the demented'. "Eighteen delirious (D) and 43 delirious-demented (D-D) patients were compared" https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/jnp.10.2.199 "differences between delirium in the demented (DD) versus delirium in the nondemented (ND). Results: We were able to examine data collected on 100 delirious patients: 82 ND patients and 18 DD patients. Patients in the DD group, compared to the ND group, had significantly greater levels of disturbance of consciousness and impairments in all cognitive domains" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19939312/ HOWEVER, I'd go for another (French) option, diagnositique différentielle avec dépression, where DD is not the ailment but the means of determining the problem (I think). "Diagnostic différentiel avec dépression masquée" https://www.cen-neurologie.fr/files/files/enseignement/cours... "Diagnostic différentiel avec dépression réactionnelle normale difficile" https://www.prepecn.com/reviser/fiches/item-144-deuil-normal... "Un syndrome dépressif (diagnostic différentiel avec dépression) : surtout lorsqu'il est accompagné d'aboulie, d'apathie, de manque d'intérêt et d'inhibition" https://www.studocu.com/fr/document/universite-de-picardie-j... For which we find the literal "Differential diagnosis with depression is still an issue to be resolved and might be answered by CSF Aβ42, T‐tau and P‐tau measurements" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6493597/ "Differential Diagnosis with Depression – Another mistake involves the person's humor or mood. Given the suffering described, the person comes to the professional with low humor. The diagnosis of Depression is made. This diagnosis is not wholly wrong: the mood is indeed depressed. But it is a case of Reactive Depression." https://www.social-anxiety-shyness-info.com/art/sad/a-10-SAD... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2023-04-18 12:35:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PLEASE CONSIDER THIS TO BE FOR INFORMATIONAL / BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT FOR GRADING SINCE I POSTED LATE. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2023-04-18 12:39:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This goes to show that it can take upwards of 26 minutes to find the translation of two letters with which one can satisfy oneself. |

Developmental Dysmnesia Explanation: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00109... “Developmental Dysmnesia”: A Case Report Abstract We report a 9-year-old girl who presented from an early age a severe and specific verbal memory disorder, in the absence of a definite etiology. The results of an extensive neuropsychological assessment showed a dissociation between normal visuo-spatial memory abilities and a marked short-term and long-term verbal memory impairment. We argue that our case is affected by “developmental dysmnesia”, a condition so far described in two cases only (De Renzi and Lucchelli, 1990, and Temple, 1997). The disorder affected episodic as well as semantic verbal memory. The long term effects on learning and cognition of a memory deficit occurring early in childhood are discussed. Dysmnésies Développementales Est-ce que peut-être c'est là qu'il se trouvent les initiales DD? https://www.cairn.info/revue-de-neuropsychologie-2017-3-page... C’est ainsi le cas pour les dysmnésies développementales, c’est-à-dire les troubles de la mémoire, notamment la mémoire épisodique et/ou sémantique. Le terme de dysmnésie n’apparaît pas non plus dans le thésaurus Medline, certainement car cette pathologie est sous-diagnostiquée. De ce fait, aucune définition précise de cette pathologie n’est proposée. Si on transpose la « trame diagnostique » habituelle, la dysmnésie pourrait se définir comme un trouble persistant de la mémoire à long terme explicite ne s’expliquant ni par une déficience intellectuelle, ni par un trouble sensoriel ou un trouble cognitif autre, et ce en l’absence de carence éducative et sociale. Ce trouble apparaît au cours du développement et n’a pas de cause organique identifiée (contrairement à l’amnésie développementale, pour laquelle un évènement dans la vie du patient peut être la cause des troubles de mémoire : ischémie, AVC, traumatisme crânien, épilepsie…). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ώρα (2023-04-18 13:15:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ***https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2245300/ Developmental dysmnesia in a poor reader E De Renzi 1, F Lucchelli Affiliations expand PMID: 2245300 DOI: 10.1093/brain/113.5.1337 Abstract A 22-yr-old subject with moderate developmental dyslexia experienced poor memory from an early age. In spite of normal intelligence he had great difficulty in learning historical and geographical names, mathematical formulae, poems and songs, and verbal series such as the letters of the alphabet and the months of the year. His recognition of familiar faces was also faulty at times. A battery of memory tests confirmed a moderate deficit of verbal as well as visual memory, whereas spatial memory was preserved. Other cognitive functions were intact, except for a mild reading disability. No evidence of brain pathology was provided by his history, neurological examination and CT scanning. https://academic.oup.com/acn/article/14/8/688/3887 Developmental dysmnesia in an LD clinic cohort W.R.
